Yes, wheels world are agents for whiteline. They arnt in subi any more though, not sure where they are now. Nasty landlord wanted to raise the rent to an unreasonable amount so they have moved.

im going to set the story straight. i know the landlord.

the landlord did not want to increase their rent at all. they owe alot of money, which is mostly owed to the landlord in unpaid rent.

there are no winners. everyones lost out.

rob, can u please refrain from calling the landlord "nasty" until u know the real story. thanks.

i have nismo adjustable suspension all round in my car and am gonna take it to the drags soon, what would i need to set the rear on for optimum performance?? i am gathering that i would set it on the softest possible, to get the best traction, but im not entirely sure, can someone enlighten me on this???

GOT BOOST : you going down to the Motorplex this Wednesday?

I'm taking my video camera .... gonna get some nice footage! :P

My brother actually got you on video a couple of weeks ago dragging a Silvia!

Glad you won :D

u want a setup that doesn't bounce back up quickly after it squats. ie so the rear stays down allowing the tyres to grip better due to the weight being transfered towards the rear.

how u do that with adjustable suspension i have no idea but thats what your after.

I dont think you'll see an increase in power (maybe a better curve and maybe a couple of kw's). But with the better cooler the car will be getting more cool air in and intake temps will be better which will stop detonation. The next step is either bigger turbo and more boost, or (I would do this first) new ecu or rechip the r32 cpu.

sorry buddy, not sure what you're talking about - think you might have yourself in a twist :(

1.34 HP to every KW

kw = 1000W

watt=power

rootle tootle :D

if running stock turbo you might find your car runs worse.. not better when fitting the new cooler. You may need to get some tuning done?

That cooler may to big for you current application.

I fitted a 750X350X100 to my R33. Initially run like crap, it gave me lag... took sh*t load of tuning of AFC and adjusting timing to get it right. In the end the cooler increased my power by 10kw on the dyno.

To this day I believe the cooler was to big for my car.......

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
