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.

OK so some-one educate me here.

Bought a new battery for Katies Mazda 3 today.

Went with a basic Champion HD.

as I was putting it in I noticed the little advertising tags on top, as you do.

they claim, their batteries increase your fuel economy by 2%.. now considering I did a basic lift both and the new one is heavier than the OEM one it cannot be due to less weight.

SO how the feck does a battery improve fuel economy by anything???

watch some utube tutorials, find old car, (not yours) wash it, clay it and start buffing...after about 20 cars you should know what you are doing..

can I have a go now? .. :D

my assumption is that it's to do with drawing less power to charge it

I thought about that.

But as far as I'm aware alternators run at a set speed not variable as per current load? that said I could be be very wrong. and thus asking advise.

I just think it a bad marketing plot and suckering ppl in.

      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.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
