How about yours Cas? Any developments?

Just got home from work and watching hueys cooking adventures. Hate Huey. Want to punch Huey in the dick.

its moving along as quickly as can be expected given the christmas period. Jesse has ordered my wheels and expects them at his in ~2 weeks...then he'll ship them to me. cant wait :) other than that, the car is at the mechanics waiting for parts to come in and time to be free to work on it...got my fingers frossed for end of jan.

Good news Cass. VicRoads folded?

billy the only middle ground option is to find a secon hand GCG highflow, then you can max the afm, injectors and pump at around 230rwkw

of course you could always cowboy it with an fpr and tune around the afm ;) 250rwkw timebomb ftw!

for a GTX3076R i'd wanna go manifold and gate, 740cc injectors and a bigass clutch/diff

No, I did. got sick of having the car sitting under our building like a 25k paperweight. This venture has been funded by myself and Just Car Insurance...back to rating 5 again. fml. =.=

Hmmm not bothering with the hiflow option. I'll start buying things, hopefully everything will be done by mid year, I am gonna be a poor student afterall :(

what actually happened to your car?

A pothole that was much more a small chasm in the road than a pothole + 110km/h. resulted in all steering components, one wheel and my lip effectively dying. car was undriveable for 5+ months while i attempted to sort shit out with vicroads.

wow GTR on rating 5? you must have money flowin out of your pocket like a mofo.

you could say that. i WAS rating 4 this year till this shit happened. June will see me forking out 600+ in reg and 3300 ish in insurance on the same damn day.

WTFFFFFFFFFFF 3300 for insurance!!!! :sick:

well thats how much i had to pay the first year, its an approximate. i was 21 when i first got the car. rating 4 this year cost me 2700. will be 23 next year so who knows whether itll still be 3k-ish. what can i say? loved the car so much 3300 a year + 5 year loan sounded AWESOME at the time :P

nevermind im paying 2k in excess now to get it fixed cuz vicroads wont admit responsibility.

Thats JCI for you however....being the only firm that will take in young drivers means they can charge whatever they please.

In all seriousness though, i AM looking forward to having the car back :P i do still love it :P

I was rating 2 when I had R33 GTST and JCI rated me as Rating 1 when I bought insurance for 33 GTR (I was 22 when I bought the GTR).

Cass, how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

she mentioned being 23 next year.

wired up the factory Xenons to work on mien golf today. posted it up on golf forum, bitches got mad jelly.

It has dawned on me that golf owners are the KE70/AE86 owners of the Euro car world.

Pics?

LOL! @ KE70 / AE86 owners.

lol tru dat

in other news i'm finally gonna get the ksev roady'd.. anyone know anyone that can "help?"

Probably ask a few fellas on AE86DC or Dave (GhettoRolla) from Vic Imports...

Dave is a mechanic so it should be easy + he drives a AE86 and AE71 panel van...

yeah I was rating 1 with AAMI at 18 cos they had some deal where you inherit your parents rating. Insured a shitty old corolla on it for a year, then after that carried my rating one over to Shannons who insured my Sera, then 180sx, then R32 and so on since then. Now I pay $400 for the Golf full comp and used to pay $600 for the 32. 240Z is $400 as well when I get around to putting it on the road, even with all the mods :P

Shannons only require you to be 25 if you have crap rating.

My rating would've been whatever it was at the time at that age, didn't have any claims but was still only rating 3 or 4 from memory...

I just spoke to the guy that used to be on here that worked there and he hooked me up. At the time, my premium dropped about $700 compared to JCI, and the policy was better in every way...Choice of repairer especially, and monthly installments rather than lump sum payment with JCI (I know they do monthly repayments now but didn't back then)

So I canceled my JCI policy, got a refund of about $2k, paid Shannons something like $130 for the first month, and spent the rest on mods...Really couldn't have worked out any better.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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
