I think that era of accord is the way to go.

And that one comes with sick subwoofer

That was the only thing about the ad I didn't like.. Unless it's some old nob trying to appeal to young cats, in which case I'm fine with it.
I'll refine the search down to accords and see what's around.. Current search criteria narrowed my search down to 9000 cars... There's no category to filter out ugly cars

Also, i drive passed those country mcmansions on a big empty hill and assume its always galeforce winds up there, plus heaps of noise from the freeways.

And birds, if you planned to capatalise on R33 prices once americans can import them, why spend all this money on a barrys build?

The barry build was started before GTR prices went nuts; I'd already spent the bulk of it before considerations of selling. Truth be told I'll probably swap a stockish RB26 back into the car when I do sell, and move off the dirty 30 to a drag nut for not that much less than it cost. I mean, as GTR prices go up so do their parts...the 26/30 will probably be worth more than I paid for it, if not already. About 6k has been spent thus far; long block form with sump. Not uncommon to pay upwards of 10-12k+ for one assembled by a known workshop.

Found out how to make power with the STI, seriously though I wonder what point or power level it becomes worth an engine swap, surely a 1j, 2j, rb swap would cost you shit loads. Unless you're going for 1000hp +, just build the ej

Looking for an intake for 2009 Honda Jazz. Anything from a known brand is like $400 for a bit of silicone hose, MAF holder and air filter. But space too tight to make something up yourself. Honda mods be criminally priced yo

Usual mods are exhaust / intake / dyno tune at 18 psi good for about 200kw at the wheels, no Ford barra or coyote power i know.. adding flex fuel 230kw but decent torque increase

ok so need to do a service on my ute, decided to try out sparesbox.com.au as seems much cheaper than the usual places.

for over 50$ they have free delivery up to 15Kg

to get all the fluids filters and such I want was apparently over 15 kg (mainly as 2x 5L oil bottles) so was 30$ delivery.

 

so instead did 2 orders both with 1x 5 l bottle and some other stuff, ended up with free delivery anyhow and they now have 2x delivery costs....

 

good business model

New DECA sounds great. Super excited to see what can be done with the back track.

This might kick me into gear to get pulsar out.

Lets race! 

I'll have to find a place to mount fire extinguisher in new car ?

Do they check dates? last deca I got through with an old one lol

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
