rage?

how much was a new one from toyota?

$2500 from the US, plus shipment which would be ridiculous.

I talked to the guy that sent me this one though and he said it was tested before it was sent from Japan and ran fine. So no idea what's going on.

Just gonna have to pull the box out again and replace whatever is causing the problem. Might actually be the diff (yes they're in the gearbox on transverse engines)

Either way, labor costs will be insane. Thank goodness for credit cards.

looks sweet. mind you I've got a soft spot for camaros having owned a gen 2. I'd probably get the frontend conversion kit if I ever bought a VE wagon (probably the only VE I'd buy).

also, nga's in oz have no probs grafting an S15 front onto a clapped out piece of shit S13 but think doing something similar on a bogan sled is wrong? you and your high horse can both fuck off.

so one of my friends got kicked out of the pub, she was too drunk we took her home, and more of her friends rocked up, then got ditched by my lift to take more girls out to a club - feels good man I guess it aint bros over hoes for him

you for real? my asshole looks better than that! :no:

You still need 'Spark' to get power... I assume the bigger / better the spark, more so, the car runs smoother, rather then more powerful.

:blink: no.

there's a limit to how much power your sparkplug can discharge, so no matter if you pump 11ty billion amps down it using your overpriced splitfires or just pump the necessary amount using brand new factory ones, the sparkplug is gonna spark the same. Once you have a spark, you have combustion, which generates your power. Up until then your car generates 0 power. In fact it just consumes it.

Put it this way, if a terrorist was to blow himself up and had 1kg of TNT strapped to him, and had the option of a $2 switch and a $200 switch, both of which work properly, which switch do you think will give you the bigger explosion?

Half the time people start sporting boners for splitfires and rave on about how much extra power they're getting, it's because they've just replaced their factory ones that are about 10-15 years old with brand new ones.

you can wire up a cheap MSD transformer setup for about $200 that will give you the same spark as any splitfires, any day. fact. not quite as simple as unplug and plug, but it's possible.

lol fine for driving manual on auto license is 90 bux no points

MANUAL IT IS!:thumbsup:

I got 150 fine for that, and that was even when I had my re-test booked in :( f**king good for nothing police cant give you a break.

Reminds me when I got pulled over, around the corner from where a lady got killed at a servo. (Remember that guy that decided to light someone on fire)

:blink: no.

The only reason people buy splitfires is because brand new factory coils cost a fortune. Don't think it has anything to do with power lol

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
