Yeah says hi boost setting 460kws maybe that's engine KW? not sure but I'd be wanting full proof and receipts with that car 
Guy I've got on facebook just got an 07' Supercharged Lotus I think it cost him about 60k 
Looks cool but wouldn't be very practical hah


He isnt tall then? For a laugh one of the nsw guys tried to get one of the taller members into his exige, he could almost drive it looking over the top of the windscreen, if his knees weren't in the way of turning the wheel.

Can't hate the Swift Sport; weighs under a ton with a 1.4 turbo

Interested to see how that drives and responds to light tuning. Would surely handle very well.

Japan are into them already, HKS does some gear for the new Swift 

Going to help my brother sell his S2 r33 gtst

What's it worth? basically suites a drift car / track car now as rego expired and has been sitting the last 5 years+ in the weather. 
Owned it for like 10 years now. 

Interior is spotless funnily enough, body is straight although has some surface rust spots now.

Has advan forged wheels, and the usual GTST mods for the 300kw combo

The bad things:

No turbo or manifold on it or exhaust, comes with all the stuff on the side though.
Doesn't run but will roll, probably not much to get it going, i think he was only changing the turbo until he lost interest, fast forward till now looks like a barn find. 

I'm thinking like 5k?

PJ gold rich thank you very much.

 

but on a more serious note I've never smoked so not really aware of pricing.

Mate asked me to pick him up a packet on the way to his place the other day, 

30 pack of PJ gold rich (thus why i knew they were a thing)

 

From BWS $45

seriously WTF when did that happen.

Yea ive been seeing people not get change from $50 a safeway for smokes... If thats not enough reason to quit...

 

Not sure if applies to ciggies too but tax on cigars going to 17% + gst

Spend 20k on it

You've seen it in it's glory days, sad to see it rusting in areas of the paint :(

I reckon he's put 40k into it easy including buying.. lots of goodies on it, tempted to buy it off him but then once it's fixed opens another issue of storage / rego / insurance etc. $$

Wow thats insane, a pack a day smoker = $16,000 a year 

I guess this is why people don't smoke much these days? not the whole 'unhealthy' thing, more the cost?

yeah and it seems to be working.

 

the few friends I have who still smoke are also the ones on the lowest income.

All are trying to give up, so the idea works but I was still shocked.

    • 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.
