So I used to build stupid cars (260z 2+2 with a rb26dett) (1600 with a 400kw sr20det). Everyone who knows the pain of building a car yourself, the money, sleepless nights, lack of life in general but its all worth it when you turn the key. But you know life rolls around and money issues are...well life? So the cars went and were replaced with a Magna (don't cringe) it was actually a nice car, and would pull away from most cars on the road. Two years down the track my urges took hold of me when I saw a 1999 Er34GtT.

My big issue is my left foot, followed by my right. I picked the car up after compliance and out of the driveway gutter to gutter down three lanes(onprivateproperty) aka parramatta road.

Fitted a 3" turbo back exhaust within a week of picking her up, Pod filter (still needs a cover) and grabbed a set of 19" 8.5 and 9.5 Nismo rims.

Have a set of DBA slotted rears to go on, but still deciding on the fronts, RDA slotted and dimpled have mixed reviews and DBA slotted and drilled have failed on me more than once. Shes going on the dyno this coming week sometime when DVS tuning has a moment spare.

Just get dba slotted, remeber to completely flush the fluid and use something decent, motul rbf as a suggestion.

Ditch the pod, no cover needed then

The intake is getting all hard piping so it will change anyway

So it has a tuneable ecu??

If not save the $80 power run

I just want a baseline run to compare once I'm finished

Little update, electrical issues are starting to drive me crazy. When I lock my car the doors dont lock only the immob and alarm turn on, tcs light dims when indicating and other fun things eventually the battery died so I replaced it with a slightly larger one. This fixed all my dramas...no of cause not two days later it started like the battery was drained and the doors stopped locking again. The only aftermarket electrical items are a headunit to oem wiring, boost guage which is on acc, and a ice install in the boot which has been completely disconnected. And a mongoose alarm which was installed by a "professional". So ill have to borrow a dc clamp meter to find what is driving me crazy.

after some spirited driving I glazed the pads quite severely, the next day on the way to work I had to do an e stop because the nice lady in front slammed her brakes on and I just couldn't pull up, hit her doing less than 20ks but all the damage was done to my car, front bar and support bent, headlight brackets smashed and a kink in the bonnet.

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
