how wide are the rims?

it was never a commonly known rule, they've never stated that the law was 10%, people simply assumed that it was, which is very well may have been.

they're all pretty much the same, but the placebo effect seems to work well on you people :)

lol, what are you on about? polyurethane bushes generally come with a 2 year guarantee. you don't do that on a product that will fail in 12 months :whistling replacing bushes with standard rubber ones is pointless.

rubber doesn't last forever, and Nolathane is simply a brand name.

got any power windows to go with it? :p

the names are just play on words, they are all polyurethane.

the tyres are a fair bit larger than stock rolling diameter. I don't care what it looks like, but the tyres are larger than stock, which throws the speedo off, and decreases torque (while increasing the theoritical top speed, which it'll never get to anyway)

I want it to handle around bends, I live in the hills, I don't want to die. I have 205/65? 15's, I think. they're really too big, stupid tyre place are a bunch of idiots.

yes, but what performace springs are there? apparently the STANDARD pedders shocks are pretty hard, so there sports shocks I assume may be a good place to look for shocks.

H - 210km/hr V - 240km/hr W - 270km/hr it is totally pointless getting a tyre with a rating higher than H on most, if not all cars, especially seeing as the speed limit is generally 110km/hr or less.

where abouts do you work so I know never to go there? I've never gone through a set of tyres on any car. I buy cars, replace the tyres at some stage while I have them, then either sell the car, or write it off before it needs new tyres again :p :wax: :whistling

sure! these engines do their best work when wet! namely on the bottom of the ocean, being used as an anchor :)

or will they never, no matter what you do? all the front bushes have been replaced with nolathane, I'm yet to do the rears. what springs would people suggest in a WAGON, to make it handle? does anyone know of a good website that can be used to calculate spring rates based on a vehicles...

Nothing irritates me more than commodore drivers.

ah, do you mean diesel OIL, which has lots of detergent in it? before doing any kind of engine flush, I'd be removing and cleaning the sump. or else all the sludge and gunk thats in/on it, will get removed, and circulated around the engine, which could potentially make the engine worse...

what are you on? why would they be yellow? 5 times in the auction the word "amber" appears, the word "yellow" doesn't appear once! btw, I've bought LEDs for my car off ebay before, and had 10 or so blow within 6 months!!! I no longer have parker lights, and no longer have dash lights...

what do you mean? $15 a pair? Jaycar want $15 each!

no, it wouldn't you could rev most engines to 4000rpm with only half an air filter uncovered. if you don't have the air flow, you simply won't use the fuel, thats kinda how fuel injection works, we're not talking carbies here. even with a totally blocked air filter, you're NEVER going...

that quite clearly says amber, not yellow.

ebay. but they'll flash to fast unless you put a resistor in parallel with them, or get an "LED flasher module"

a blocked air filter, in an EFI car, will result in less air being able to be sucked into the engine, less air passing the AFM, and potentially LESS fuel consumption due to the engine not being as free revving, nor able to rev as high. :)

yeah, do what everyone else said. haha and why did you spend $50 on oil?

I have a tip... don't expect to win :) although, I have a feeling your friends car isn't even a GTR

it would seem that you're on drugs :) lol

what the flying f*ck are you on about? parents, who spend thousands of dollars on their 16 year old kids first car, are idiots, end of story.

jealous? lol, FAAAR from it. more ****ed off at the shear stupidity of some parents! why the hell would you buy your kid a $12,000 turbo sports car for their first car? if my parents wanted to buy me my first car, I wouldn't want anything that cost more than about $2000! and if your...

ha, I was talking to this 16 year old. mummy and daddy bought her an R33 turbo skyline, which she ran straight into the back of another car, she blamed the other driver for stopping in the middle of the road. anyway, mummy and daddy went and bought her another car, something less sporty...

you do realise that a port is means to be the same crossectional area along its full length, right?

but looking at the exhaust, you wouldn't expect the supposid 316 stainless to rust before the 304 stainless mufflers do, unless the piping isn't really 316.

talking to a guy at work who was a mechanic for quite some time, and also worked with a lot of stainless steel fittings, he said that when welding stainless, to mild steel, you have to use stainless welding wire... clearly, this wasn't done on my exhaust. Yes, stainless will become...

i spoke to a guy who had an exhaust done at the same place mine was done, he simply said "thats not stainless" and that his piping hasn't corroded, or rusted at all.

sorry the pics are getting bigger :p any questions?

there really isn't anything odd. what did you spot? lol

the heating element is the full length of the barrel (that the tip goes into), if you only put the tip partly in, then its only getting heat transfer from part of the heating element. the screw is at the end of the barrel, because if it was at the other end, or in the middle, the tip would be...

30 amps of continuous current, but that doesn't mean the wire is going to catch fire in the event of a short circuit if you use a 50amp fuse on it. like I said, I've pulled 110amps through 10ga cable before.

Jaycar Electronics ^^^thats a good iron, however the tip is far too small for anything automotive, its what I bought for my brother, I've used it, can't complain about it. Jaycar Electronics ^^^that would be pretty ideal for you, plus they sell replacement tips (might be worth buying a...

WELLER MARKSMAN SP15D SOLDERING IRON - NEW * - eBay Other Power Tools, Power Tools, Tools, Home. (end time 21-Oct-08 22:47:12 AEST) wellers aren't cheap. you'd be much better off getting the 25watt iron from Jaycar for like $16 the iron I normally use at home cost about $350... the ones...

nothing would have caught fire by having a 50amp fuse on 30 amp cable. 10 ga cable will happily handle 2 or 3 times that much current for the short period required to blow a fuse. I've pulled 110amps through 10ga cable before for a good 20 seconds or so, which would easily blow a 50 amp...

the tip should be as far in as it can go.
