$202 was an offer to JPS_TRADING LTD on ebay

the obx stuff from racingpartsdepot on ebay.usa

thats the standard price, shipping was $90, lifetime warranty and the quality is exceptional

a TSA worker told me if you get a speeding fine for 10kph or over on your P's you get disqualified immediately. Pretty harsh penalty! There are a lot of un-signed streets, being 50kph, snap @ 60 and your license is gone...

They've come down hard with demerit point rule changes in the last 5 years. And of course the price of everything (fines/rego etc/license fees) has increased enough to start hurting the wallet - just went and paid a speeding fine @ the post office on my lunch break... $220 for 70 in a 60 zone... I was bloody astounded when i saw the price of the fine when i opened that letter. Up by $50 since my last speeding fine, for the exact same offence... f@rk!

sorry to bring this discussion back up, but the section ive highligted there is no excuse

who can tell me the rule they bought in (cos they were too lazy / tight fisted to spend money and to signpost everywhere)

50 UNLESS OTHERWISE SIGNPOSTED

so that excuse really doesnt wash these days

/2c

and yes, ive had one speeding ticket, 76 in a 60 zone, on the easter weekend about 4 years back. a split second of bad habits cost me over 300 bucks

used.

jps trading were selling 3sets, sent an offer on a z32 afm + the cheapest hks dump set.

was surprised it was accepted lol, considering id just spent a $900 on a big 13" wilwood racing brake upgrade

see: brake.doc

Back to my issue. Wayne seems to think maybe the two hoses on my car are hooked up the wrong way on the solenoid and that i should try swapping them. Nothings gonna go bang if i do this? Like if the hoses are the right way and I've swapped em over its not going to reverse the pressure into somewhere and make it pop?

Yeah I might quickly go see Shaun and see what he thinks about it. I don't care that I'm only running 10psi, I'm just more worried about that if the restrictor isn't there, then why isn't it hitting that 1bar. Even with a turbo back exhaust it shoud be a little higher so who knows.

got boost controller? without boost control you're restricted to whatever your wastegate actuator is rated at, which i think is 10psi...

-D

no boost controller. I got a blitz 1 sitting here that I was going to use on my old gtst. Should work on the 26 shouldn't it? Or will I need one for a 26?

as far as i know a boost controller works on all, provided its setup in the right manner - best to ask ur tuner to install it really

I was also thinking this earlier...but didn't want to say it/couldnt be bothered logging in at work.

I have received 2 speeding fines in the last 12 months...both for a car i sold to my parents about 2 years ago. So i get them to fill in the Stat-Dec, and i get of scot-free :D

surely they've re-registered it in that time? :D no excuse that its not in their name heh

Nope, still in my name, so as far as motor reg is concerned...its still my car, but my parents paid me for it.

well its been confirmed! I worry too much and all I needed was a EBC and I'll see 14psi. Wow. Hahaha

hehe yep, or one of those adjustable manual taps

ebc is much safer inspite of their non regency friendliness. good thing is tho, theyre real easy to remove

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
