i could have bought my car cheaper, but i was super happy with them (was worth paying extra);

no dramas at all, even when we had a few small problems after we got the car home;

they fixed all for nix

NA_R33 - Yeah took a closer look and it looks like the rack is bent as well as a whole other bunch of stuff, so I am probably just gonna tow it to Gav's and let him sort out the mess! Thanks heaps for the help changing it and offering to help out, muchly appreciated :)

Pred - Man that is a pretty intesting door you had, I really wouldn't mind hearing bout it for the 500th time, I know what it's like as I have had to explain my traffic island "incident" like 500 times this week.

ska: whole rack bent? hmm, now looking quite expensive. Steering arm is one thing, but a whole replacement steering rack is not an easy job. Feel for you man :P

nexus: me? nah, just search VIC and search for "And you thought Gordo's bad luck had ended" thread..

Yeah well, was my own fault so cant bitch and whine about it, just pay for it and get it fixed, got a car trailer and something to tow it so now just gotta wait for the replacement mag to come in and take it to Gav's :P hopefully I might have enough left over to get a cat back exhaust :D maybe........... fingers crossed :D

It was actually pretty lucky I didnt have a after market front bar or side skirts as they would probably need replacing too, I am soooo lucky I didnt get any body work damage, but guess I kind compensated with the mechanical damage. Well if you're gonna do something, ya gotta do it RIGHT! :P

yeah.. exactly - you would have done them.. all those stupid bits of fibreglass are a pain in the ass.. my replacement front bar last year: $900 . Can end up costing just as much as the damn mechnicals..

For those interested in the story of the multicolour car read here.....

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
