Convertible? Well there goes all the streetcred this car ever had.

I park next to a white FT86 (and a burgandy R33... anyone on here?) every day at Gardiner station. The more I look at it, the more I keep thinking it should've been the new Hyundai Tiburon.

Someone's game parking a 33 at a station!

And where was I parked in the space? Heaps of room!

And then where does she park? 2 spaces away :P

"In my country, we don't normally drive cars forward into spaces"

SO WHY DID YOU TRY IF YOU KNEW YOU'D FAIL!!!!



Hertz Hire Car... Zero Excess due to her excess reduction premium

Wouldn't mind a ford gs :P

I wouldn't want to take that 32 off your hands :P

Took russman in my car once, he wants one now instead of his xr6t :D

i parked my car at the station every f**king day for a few months.... no one steals it...

it was insured for 20k you bastards

This. Do you know how hard it is to have my car stolen? I leave my car in the open because it's insured for 11, which is more than most 33s are going to get selling...no dice. It's like they know which cars are uninsured or low valued :/

f**k that, I'm getting it fixed properly... there's a weird dent throwing off the reflection in the rear quarter that I'd be unable to fix myself...

Plus it's down to the metal / plastic in a few spots, so needs paint...

I am officially 3WD. Lol

Lost the ayc pump at GOR..

$3k new, $1500 second hand, $2500 7RS mechanical diff..

Which one

ouch!

well it depends on finances and how far you wanna take the car

if tou wanna launch it and have 300+ go the RS if you are just gonna keep it stockish go the 2nd hand

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
