ok, atm I have my car.

the front bar is on, but ****ed after i let my friend drive it, and he didnt know how to enter driveways...

Im also looking for a trust airpod and attachment and a nice fmic set up.

but i need insurance, beacuse I dont want to lose my car, I'm 21 had 8 speeding tickets in the last 6 years, and had my license suspensed once(the new rule).

I'm just wondering wheres the best places to go and whats the best value for money. like I dont want chrome pipes for my fmic, i'd rather black, but a chrome fmic.

my drivers door window motor is now ****ed from going up and down too much, so i'll have to replace that also.

and b4 i got my car service my car did 80 in first and then 135 in second, now it only goes to 60-65 and then seems like its trying to get more air. and in second only gets to 100. this is good for me, but I would rather a car taht works properly then not.

basically im bored sitting at home, and would rahter spend money on my car :D

thats at stock psi also, I dont know what happened and chaos has seen my car go :D

so I'm trying to think what could have happened, can you reduce the turbo psi from stock to lower? or can new spark plugs do something?

my car has a rev limiter of 7000 but not speed limited(this is good so I cant over rev.)

so, maybe i need to get it tuned or something. dad doesnt want to help, he believes my car goes fast enough as it is, and that he doesnt want me to loose my license again...

greg have u tried taking the airbox off?? maybe thats why it seems its trying to suck more air in cause i noticed last time u had one on.

insurance....well with ur history you will struggle to get it.

I'd say go with a 400R front bar or garage ***ui or something like that (NA_R33 has one) and this have a large section in the front for a front mount.

nah new clutch, once i bought it from autoshop the clutch was over trightened and they had burnt the **** outter it, i got a new one the next day, some dakin perforanmce clutch for 900 fitted, was quoted other places for $1200. the clutch is fine, the only problem i have is the air filter is stock and the sponge is shit its almost about to fall apart(some rips in it) so I'm going to either get a panel air filter, or waste some money on a pod and make some air box thingy :D

at the service, i got new plugs, the mud outta the radirator(this didnt make the car heat up at all for some reason :D and new oils and shit like that. I run my car only on ulimate, I would get racq to tow me to a bp if i ran out of fuel in front of a shell :D

i check the water and oil regualy and would rather be saef then sorry. I also have to find somewhere that will lathe back my disc, or maybe buy some slotted ones :D

and imm thinking of getting my license back for night work, because i make 300 more a week doing nights. I THINK i could drive to and from work properly and that I will slow down on the open roads. speed kills those that dont look in their mirrors...

Bwahahahaha! Funny. I'm a BP only man too.

I got my front discs machined at Global down here on the coast. Removed them myself, drove there in my shitter, had lunch, went back, all done, $30. Still want DBA rotors tho...

Slowing down in a Skyline is a figment of your imagination... :D

speed kills those that dont look in their mirrors...

And aint that the truth...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
