Thanks for the explanation guys. That might have come in handy over the last 2 days. I drove my car home from Melbourne on Tuesday night, Wednesday morning went to collect the mail and put my foot down (not heaps) without thinking (RWD+Heavy Rain= Spin)and was shocked (I've been driving FWD's now for the last 3 months while waiting for my BMW to be fixed)

ah yeh.... one guy named La_Bomba did that ^_^ (You will see him around the forums)

Don't do what he does :(

Hi Everyone

Charlotte- Yay nice to meet another female owner, I haven't seen any other female owners so far, but I'm from Bendigo.

To everyone who LOLed at the title- Big emphasis on the age and and gender, I figured that would get a few people's attention, so people would comment so I could meet everyone.

Specs, Colour & Mods:

Specs: I can't find anything online much about the 25GT's pretty much everything I find is on the GT-T or the GTR's. I have the non turbo model because I'm on my green P's otherwise I probably would have gone for a turbo model. Redbook is pretty slack on specs as well, except for telling me that it is 17cms wider then a 1994 BMW 318I.

My car is totally stock at the moment, was previously owned by an Asian guy who had it imported, 120,000 KM's. 2.5 Lt engine (it's a 25 GT)

Colour: Metallic Silver

Interior: Grey Plastic with 2 tone Grey cloth interior

Rims: Stockies

Trans: Tip Automatic

Photos: None at the moment, I'll post some in the next few weeks.

Mods:

No mods so far (I've only had the car for 1 1/2 days) unles taking it to the car wash counts to remove the layers of grime and dirt (car was very dirty when I brought it, so I used it to get the price down) my car is in desperate need of a detailing, it's had no external love for quite a while but I have a few things planned. I had the car transferred into my name today, and now have slimline plates that are ***088 (my year of birth)

FUTURE MODS: I can't do anything to much to it, so all mods will be cosmetic because the cops are pretty bad in Bendigo and already stare at the P plate when I drive past....on the speed limit.

* Exterior Detailing, giving it a bit of TLC

*Sound System

* Hasn't got a rear spoiler at the moment so I'll be getting one of those

*Possibly a body kit

*Maybe silver dial rings

*Thinking about taking the sound matting from under the bonnet as it's a little hacked, and could do with a little more noise

* possibly a cannon if I can get away with it

*Mags

That's about as far as I've got in my thinking as of yet, would like to hear any other suggestions from you guys.

Some nice tasteful mods there.

But I must add...

Do not put a cannon - it will actually reduce your low end power (day-to-day driving), make un-wanted noise (in an auto it does not sound good) and attract unwanted attention from the boys in blue....

Rear wing is fine - for a sedan a lip spoiler or a wing from an R34 GTt would be fine. Oversize wings do not look good and also may not be legal.

With sedans - the trick is to keep the styling clean and simple - nothing too out there.

For a P plater.

eg.

Cosmetic:

- slightly lowered

- 17" to 18" wheels (Not the bling/rap star type)

- Factory bodykit

- Tinted windows

- Clear indicators or smoked depending on the colour of your car.

- Lip spoiler

Engine:

- High flow panel filter

- High flow cat

Hey there.

Another one from Bendigo. We must have almost 5 members from here now :D lol

Looks like I'm a month behind. How is the New car going?

Don't stress too much about Bendigo Cops. I've found if your not doing anything wrong and your polite then they are quite fair. (You will get pulled up though)

Hence why you won't see me on the road much.

lol, 5 memebers ha, f**k bendigo is rocking it haha.

i reckon i got more than 5 members with in a 500 metre radius of my house haha.

im just f**king around lol

dont know why, but im sensing a troll

Me too lol.

Be careful with exhausts, to get a power gain on an na you'll want something small, not a massive cannon. Those only hinder low down power.

ah yeh.... one guy named La_Bomba did that ^_^ (You will see him around the forums)

Don't do what he does :P

Ahh yeah, i remember that now. I see his name plastered all over the place now, I'd fprgotten the initial thread haha

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
