I work for ETSA aswell from marleston there were a few rumours getting around still funny

ah k, which part of marleston? supply restoration, CBD or Substation branch? Got a few mates spread across those areas

I dont know... something RB26DETT, AWD, has a GTR badge on the rear and preferably between the years of 1989 to 1994 and in gunmetal grey, white or black.

Oh. I've heard about those types of cars. Apparently they can be fun. Did they come in black?

Anyone know a place to get a car properly cleaned that has been sitting in the elements for too long and needs some real TLC? I was looking at the place on Unley Rd and just checked out their website. Seems fairly pricey. Anyone used them and were they happy with the results?

randomly searching around tryin to find price for a tier 2 vehicle identity inspection, stumbled across the new VIS (Regency/Lonsdale) Vehicle Inspection fees..........defect clearance just got epically more expensive!

theres a place opposite charminars that does hand detailing for the $50 mark iirc, I prefer to clean it at dazzlers myself and then let either prestige or lex do a detail for me every few months

Now when it says Second Inspection does that mean for the same defect...or next time the car goes through.

think thats where u go and you've been given more things to look at / rectify......so second visit essentially. Dont think they've got a "frequent visitors" discount...........yet :)

$143 sounds rite to me, never had to go back a second time though.

lol Dale means more money for petty to go driving :)

True but the 180 doesn;t have an engine in it ATM and i dont have the street car that's running either. And i'm still getting knackered at the drop of a hat so i'm still to sick to fix either of them. but i am really saving money because there's no alcohol or petty to buy.

Going on an impromptu cruise for GTR's only.

PM me before 11am if you want to come. Meeting in a specific location at midday and then cruising the hills for 2-3 hours.

Numbers are limited, and entry is restricted to GTR's. Sorry, but thems the breaks. After 11am tomorrow I'll be driving and wont have time to talk to people, so if u got stuff all else to do tomorrow, have a gtr, and have the petrol, msg me.

No exceptions.

-D

awwww.... but i wanna play with the cool kids. :(

looks like its going to be a raging success. :)

lol, but i dont lose oil pressure and spin a bearing...

hows the running in going?

well now that you've just jinxed yourself... =P

eh, painful, still another 400km to go and BW closed till some time next year so have at least 3 weeks more of it =(

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
