What was your 60ft / 330ft and 660ft times / also the mph of the 660ft and terminal mph and time. This can tell you where things are coming un stuck.

Wow! It seems there is quite some passion about the "Lit-up" Soarer! Well I have to admit to you that - that particular Soarer belongs to me. I respect that everyones tastes are different so some (eg: Skyzerr33, jmp, gradenko and puckish) may think it's rice, butt ugly and/or the person driving it is a tool - and that's all cool - you're entitled to your opinion! I'm not offended...! The car managed to pick up the "Mr TRD" Trophey at the 2002 PAS Western Salon and a 14.2 on the drag night so it can't be all that bad - can it !?

The car is a bit of a project for a number of Perth based initiatives. For one I am also the President of the Soarer Club for Western Australia so that was in part why there was a stack of Soarers down there on Wednesday. And hey, don't knock the Soarers! both the V8's and Twin Turbo's did pretty well on the night! I certainly can appreciate the skylines and if I had a second choice a Skyline would be it.

Secondly the car is a promotional vehicle for my business www.importscene.com.au. Specialising in auto accessories for the import market. And yes I've seen previous threads regarding the "rice" component. But again I'm fine with that. You either love it or you hate that stuff, personally I love it and a lot of my customers happen to be standard Aussi blokes many of whom own skylines!!

So at the end of the day this car is a bit of a promo vehicle for me and it needs to be seen. I also happen to love the neon look (each to their own) and if that makes me a tool in the eyes of some of you well so be it ! I'll still be down at the drags (trying) to kick some whoop ass....! Next time you see me at the plex come over and have a yack I'll be only to happy to listen to you dis me off in person! I think you'll find I don't take too many things that seriously :(

By the way "EXIT" drop by the shop sometime in wangara and I'll give you a generous discount for having such good taste!...

Cheers guys - enjoy the scene... :D

The only soarer I didn't like was the white one with the *huge* wing, long sticker and plate style rims.

It's just not my taste.

However, that blue/green one with neons didn't look bad but I just don't believe that neons belong on the track.

Also - Good luck with the shop lextc, nice to see a import style shop in Perth.

If neons and rice is the best way for you to express the love for your car, then I'm glad you stuck with your first choice.

personally I love it [rice] and a lot of my customers happen to be standard Aussi blokes many of whom own skylines!!  

And thats the shame of it all.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
