  1. :D Have a blast Trav!! Make sure you keep in contact!
  2. whats with the retarded typing?
  3. Seriously take the engine out. We did a ring replacement in car and it was hell. I'm not saying it can't be done its just easier out of the car!! Get a gregorys manual or similar, that should outline everything you need to do. don't forget to hone the bores in some way or the rings will never seal properly and you'll find yourself re-ringing again in the very near future. ft/lb into nm: http://www.onlineconversion.com/
  4. Faulty earth?
  5. 5A is seat belt anchorage points 10A is steering columns 20 is saftey rims.
  6. These are terrible cheap chinese copys! ALWAYS BUY GENUINE TURBOS!!!! There are some even worse copys going around that wont even survive the first time you drive them around the block. The compressor and turbine wheels even LOOK unbalanced! As a general rule, if your not spending over $1500 for a brand new turbo theres something wrong (there are exceptions i.e. GT28R and GT28RS are around $1200 at the moment) Theyre not cheap items and never buy cheap turbos!
  7. Ive heard of a track going in around the Esk district (somewhere near atkinsons dam I believe). I'm not sure if its just a speedway (dirt oval) or if its going to have a tarmac track as well. Its the same for everything making noise. General Aviation airports have the same problems and it doesnt seem to matter who you are. BBC TopGear are having problems with people around dunsford aerodrome where the show is filmed. I mean apart from the fact that its the old British Aerospace systems site which would have involved Harriers, Hawks and the likes landing there (even 747s I believe). But no the morons still build their houses next to it and THEN complain.
  8. I saw one of these conversions in an escort... it did good skids I guess....thats about it. don't think it ever made it to the strip, not sure.
  9. I rented one for $94 for 24hrs yesterday. Its usually between $50 and $100 when I need one. I think this thread has run its course. If anyone wants to loan him one PM him.
  10. Metric is the pwnage bitch! None of this 12 inches to a foot crap. 100cm to a meter...so simple. And with those kind of fuel prices. Its no wonder the worlds got such an issue with oil. You yanks burn it like theres no tomorrow ;)
  11. From what I read LRP probably had MMT in it (Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl not that I could remember that). It was supposed to help with the valve problems in some cars.
  12. I think they'll end up pricing themselves off the road. The tide is already turning with so many more smaller cars. Unfortunatly I live near the 4x4 capital of Australia (Chappel Hill, Kenmore and Brookfield/Pinjarra Hills). Take this for example. I drive dump trucks at work occasionally and I'm supposed to get a ticket for that (lol but I don't). Theyre much the same as a car, with two axels and an automatic gearbox just theyre much much bigger. I'm sure a soccer mum could get in one and drive even if its a bit daunting. I'm also sure she'd smash into stuff and probably roll it over. Is a 4x4 all that much different. I understand that the majority are being punished because of a minority who can't drive for shit (although its probably the other way round). Aviation is no different. I have to get an AVID or an ASIC because a couple of dumb f@$ks flew a couple of planes into a couple of buildings *grumble*. Now I'm not happy about it, but thats what I have to do to get my licence so thats what I do. If you were a keen 4x4 enthusiast, I'm sure youd be pissed about it, but you'd get over it and move on. You could also see it as a "green" solution. Its more difficult to buy a 4x4 than just buying the thing, now you have to get a licence. So sales drop and theres less greenhouse emissions but I guess the large familys will still buy 4x4s or MPVs. Rob: I understand that your a 4x4 driver and you don't like the idea, but until you drive around kenmore in a celica whos roof line doesnt even make it up to their windows you wont understand just how scary it is. Licences might not fix this, but it should help weed out the soccer mums who couldnt drive for shit in the first place.
  13. $1.26 for ultimate thisarvo $1.16 for regular crap
  14. 140hp is gonna need more than "tinkering"
  15. lol yes, very.
  16. What about Demuires "ToranaDatsunGemini"
  17. You sir...are a nutter.

  19. No IP blocks have been set or are listed for the FAQ.
  20. I have done it and I think Ive written about it here before. Basically I used KE70 hubs (with KE20 bearings) and calipers with KE30 backing plates (although you should change the size of the bolts to suit it perfectly I never had any issues...). For the rear I used KE30 axels and drums (I left the backing plates as-is). This worked for a while, but in reality the axels are slightly too long and the bearings flogged out. Then when we tried to remove the axels we couldnt because the end of them had burred on the pinion. In the end we found another pair of axels (from a KE38 from memory) took the diff out of my KE30 parts car and cut the mounts off and welded the KE20 mounts on it. The diff is slightly longer but It didnt cause too much greif for me. If youve got low offset wheels you might have problems.
  21. S13 mastercylinders have a one way valve. AFAIK the pedal is still pretty hard if you try to stand on it while on boost.
  22. waste of time unless your spending some diecent dollars on a wideband setup. Narrowbands are as good as sniffing the exhaust with your nose....
  23. something like this?? (note: add blood to taste) This bullshit has to stop. Goddamn f@$king bogan f@$kers. Sorry to hear :D
  24. If you need power steering its time to bulk up...
  25. The spoiler happens to be OEM R34 GTR equiptment. And whats with everyones hate of spoilers? I love the standard GTR spoilers and a nice aftermarket spoiler can be a real compilment to a car.
