Will tell you one thing...I have done 2 throttle bodies....one on a VR HSV 215i(change to Duel Plenum...big improvement in throttle response but car was NA)....and one on a Turbo XR6(not a big improvement but definitely noticeable).

sorry but youre wrong. let me point you to the direction of the throttle body thread :(

yeah back on topic you girls!!!

ohh wait im not a mod on this forum

So, ummm, back on topic, this afternoon I spotted a black s2 C34 parked in the carpark of Carlingford Court shopping centre, and I left a few SAU-NSW business cards on their window.

Finally spotted!! That was my car. Fiance was driving it as she does most of the time. We are in the Parra area. I been registered on SAU for a while but have only been able to get on every now and then.

Spotted Silver M35, Beacon Hill lights. . .Just near maccas. . . . Was beeping I assume at the other quality Stag there. .

I was forced to go their as my kids needed a McMuffin. . .honest. . .

And I was in awe of the ARX. . . . actually don't see many M35 Stags on the Northern Beaches. . . There are 4 in Killarney Heights/ Forestville and all driven by women. . . must be the soccer mum car. . . 2 x White ARX & 2 x Gold ARX . . They look twice at the Sexy Silver AXIS of course. . .

im not surprised you saw him, he drives so damn slowly :blush:

as for it being a soccer mums car, if i see too many like that, ill be selling mine!

or maybe you just need to make your car go and look like something a soccer mum wouldn't drive

yes it is!

forgot to mention i spotted a gold M35 ARX (some sort of 'king' :thumbsup: ) while i was going along victoria road yesterday morning....

Could have been my mate who just bought a gold ARX with all the bells and whistles.

spotted a Silver ARX with Axis kit and wheels on condamine and pittwater road last week. (manlyvale - brookie)

Drove beside and behind for a good 1-2km in my Blue M35 with aero kit, but I dont think they saw me...

Are you sure it wasn't an actual AXIS with real AXIS wheels, because it could of been mine. . these are my stomping grounds. . . Northern Beaches. . If it had a Southern Cross Sticker on the rear window it was me,

If not it is a AXIS wanna be. . . lol :thumbsup:

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
