I really want a Supra but I can't really justify spending an extra $5000 just for a manual transmission. I'm only keeping this car for about a year.

It's 3 years newer for $5k more (starting price..) If all else is equal that's not a big difference in price for a 3 year newer car..

why not get the AWD r34 then add in the rb25det later on (i have no idea if this is possible)

Its probably the most complicated engine swap to do as far as Skylines go.

oh no, there's a 1.8L carby R32 that is a headfuck to put an RB26DETT into. that could possibly be a touch harder.

At the end of the day its easier and much much cheaper to sell a car and buy one with the same specs, than to try and upgrade it.

get another hobby, like kidnapping prostitutes

make sure you grab the independant ones. the ones with pimps are a mess to clean up after, and usually you have to dispose of bodies.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuu was changing sparkplugs and one of the coilpack connectors crumbled. Now im down one cylinder and car stuck at friends house :D

How much would a coilpack loom cost from Nissan?

JustJap has them IIRC.

coz guys who buy V35's in oz want them as cheap alternatives to IS300's. they're not very courageous when it comes to mods.

there's a few guys in QLD who have baller V35's tho, but after talkin to them, they cbf with forums.

i was thinking about grabbing one, but now i want to see what happens with this toyo FT86 thing.

Whats the go with jspec's website? did it really get hacked or did everyone just get over it?

You'll be waiting a while before it affects australia in any way.

<rant>Most of the guys who buy IS350's are guys who just got into the 60K plus job market, are working profesional jobs and wanna impress their mates with a fancy car with a label that is somewhat luxurious. They're the same wankers that buy base model Mercs and 3 series Beemers. Likewise most of the guys who buy V35's are usually the same type but are either hard up for cash or are actually smart with how they spend their money (so they get luxury for a lower price, then brag to their IS or 3 series driving colleagues how their cars are better).

Either way, none of them will ever ever ever mod their car with epic low or gangster fitment.</rant>

Yeah some romanian guys managed to use a client login to upload a rootkit that then overwrote every single file on the webserver folders with a worm. Unfortunately this overwrote pretty much all the code I had done, and since I'm not free to do them any more Craig's doing em again from scratch. He was supposed to launch at Christmas, but it hasn't happened. Not even sure why there was no backup of all the stuff I did.

Its like some of the people I work with who want to buy [insert base model of each range of BMW/merc etc]. I rather be walking then seen in a 320, or 118, Paying that money for the brand, when you can pay a little more and get a decent car out of it /rant

WTF no backups of a biz? How many hrs does it take to put together a site like the old one?

Well I'm back...

I didn't buy any of the cars I just posted.

I bought a 1998 Manual Supra. White. Immaculate inside and out. Like new. Comes with some black wheels and chrome lip.

Picking it up in a week.

WIN.

I made backups onto the PC i used for development, but unfortunately I think that PC was formatted or something. It took me the good part of 3 years to get the backend feeding all the data from auctions, japanese car yards etc properly, and the same amount of time for Craig to develop the backend, admin system etc. all of which was lost.

he's done a fairly good job of restoring it and polishing it up, its got all sorts of fancy 2.0 stuff now from the preview I saw.

nothing a hammer and an angle grinder cant fix

edit: also tackled my boats ignition problems, no power coming out of the power solenoid, so replaced that. then had some power running to the starter but the started wont budge. so pretty much had to take off all the carby covers to get the f**ker off.

would be nice to go for a fish on sunday :|

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
