yeah I live in Northgate Pete - so every time I turn out from Fosters Rd onto North East I get a good gander at the Motocity cars .... it used to be nice when Turismo was still in business, and that dodgy Japan Car Sales was near the body workshop before it moved - I used to get to check out tons of imports :rofl:

are nsx fast?  apparently my friend said he can import them for like 20k ... not sure... he complies alot of 15 yo cars ..

i don't think NSX start at 89 anyway...

don't buy 20k NSX! for that price they MUST be accdient car. The problem is they are aluminium chasis, and the repair is scary, for 20k u won't got a straight car.

the steering wheel shaking at 80km...

if they are available for import, i think they should be at least high 4k mark for a average 92 model. (if they don't rip u off, i think they will sell them for at least 60k)

standard they are not all that fast, i did my appr. with honda in victoria and we had a couple come through, awesome chassis and engine though. 14.0 1/4mile for 1991-1995 NSX or 13.3 for NSX-R. most jap nsx's in performance circles have had extensive engine development, just to play with stock GTR's and the like.

My friend has a red one...and i think it's fast as! handles extremely well on the road..esp around corners. In a straight line my head was back on the head rest many times! He bought it for around $90 000..so it would wanna be good.

Definately sexy cars tho!

Naa it wasn't me Sam! I haven't gone anywhere near King William in my Skyline for months!

That's the second sighting of my car when it was well and truely tucked away in the garage. Maybe it's like Herbie the love bug? It just drives around by itself when I'm not at home :D

I've spotted that awesome looking silver/carbon bonnet R34 GT-R (COPY ME) around my way about 3 times this week. At one stage he drove past my house whilst I was out the front washing my car. We did the... 'one Skyline owner to another' nod thing :D Saw him getting tailed by the police going along Sudholz Rd yesterday arvo too.

Must Be hahaha

I've stoped posting about the 34 dude hahaha cos Erica and Sean gave me shit about it the other w/e while we were out.....

But since you brought it up we were chillin at a Cafe on Rundle and he was cuttin laps last night and they finally got to see wot i have been on about haha.....

And correct me if i'm wrong i didn't notice this before but i think he had P Plates up last night?!?!?!?!?

huh?

also i saw a wicked gold r33 (dont know if it was an R) that was drivin down mcintyre rd today at about 5pm. had a big gt style wing. sweet.

also same timish, saw a black r33 on darley rd, which seemed to have a hot chick in it, either brunette or black haired *drools*

Yeah i have also seen the same 33 Top Secret Gold looking with big GT wing and Carbon Bonnet

Not a GT Wing fan but that car looks tough

The Guy that sprayed that car though i recently found out is the one that will be respraying mine :spank:

The R34 Uras style 4 door is Ken's. Michael and Ken were the original starters of IBLIS, and he had the racing worx shop. He has a chinese restraunt on King William road now. He also has that tough white R33 gtr with the 19 inch AVS's. That car was actually originally built by HKS Kansai. But has now had the motor rebuilt here with cams,2530,s and the rest. He also has a blue 180sx with kit,cooler etc.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
