There was a bloke at High School who we always gave crap to because he drove around in his mums car and pretended it was his own.

We'd call it the "Baby Blue Honda Jazz"... and without fail he'd always yell "It's ICE BLUE!!!!" and when we gave him crap about it being auto, he'd say that autos were faster at the drag strip... *shakes head slowly*

Hmm you went to school with birds didn't you?

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

lol you go missing on the regular anyway...

Congrats dude! Take me for a ride? Still waiting for our red 86 to come :D

Yeah you're right, I do. Not as much time for forum whoring these days. Cut right back.

And sure, if you're there at the Dyno Day/Renewal Day on Sunday I'll be there. It'll be a sedate ride though, will be running it in.

And wow, fatherhood has turned Hamish into an angr(ier) man! It's okay, I won't try and infect you with my auto driving ways. Hey I had/still have auto FWD's and I'm female. All the stereotypes at once.

Yeah I would probably go and beat on a new engine, all the mechanics do it when they rebuild engines nowadays too

Worst case scenario is it needs a rebuild, and on a BRZ that can only include forced induction :P

Yep, warm up your engine and then rev it out (dont limiter bash though)

That's what I did with mine and the tuner said it was making some really good power standard and I must of worn engine in well

Just drive it as you would if you bought it second hand...new cars are designed with the lowest common denominator in mind, who wouldn't consider running in periods. They couldn't afford to warranty new cars if they would break from driving it with a bit of stick. Think the engines are fairly run in / tested from factory anyway.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
