Pretty old / avoid. probably better off to "chip"/tune the factory ecu.

Was planning on going for a nistune which are around $450-$600 depending who does it but they still use the afm so i'd need to spend extra for a wide band.

They're usable but pretty old these days, will still work but don't expect miracles. 

Yeah have done a bit of research. Went to NS spec, he convinced me anyway to get the g2 instead saying it'll be a way better option than a nistune, he claimed i should make at least 250kw but who knows till its on the dyno

whats everyones opinions on a link g2? 

Its been a while an not a lot has happened to this sack as i was experiencing the wheeler dealer hu$tle hah

 finally got it towed to joes mechanical to get insurance to hopefully pay out for a fuck up by previous mechanic 

picture spam of the 15s on the car

Front pair are autostrada's--- need to find another pair of these as i like them waaayyyy more than the ssr's imo  

Rears are just ssr mesh 

Still need to sort the fitment out with 180mm free height adjusty springs and adjustable arms are necessary as its got mexi poke with 25mm spacers on to clear the brakes

Enjoy fellas & female equivalents 

surely someones got issue 297 of classic car as the articles from there 

should probably find a car to attend with 

On another note anyone selling a b1600 in the auckland or near region lel?

pretty sure it was outside 271 swanson rd after a quick google maps

Alright i've read all over the interwebs but its got me more confused than anything 

i know ford falcon or futura rear springs can fit in the rear but what yr falcon or futura springs ?? does it even matter???

Apparently Ford sierra wagon springs fit as well just lop a coil or 2 off 

What shocks should i use for the rears ? can i leave the stock ones in or?

what should i do for the fronts ??

thats it there sitting on 15s with standard suspension but would like it a few inches lower 

 

school me with your toyota wisdom pls 

gawdd damn you own this s14, stalked it over facebook a couple times hahah 

Good job man i like it a lot

My manual 1GEU gx71 sounded pretty rumbly/grouse with a resonator in place of the cat and a decent sports muffler (actual muffler, not fart cannon). Was just in factory pipe size IIRC. Not loud but nice.

yeah i just want a nice little rumble even just at idle would be nice but definitely not going to a fart cannon hahah

its auto so ye itll have a drone but dont want a hair dryer after a week of owning it 

not too sure where i should be posting but here it is anyway.. 

Is there anyway to make a 1ge sound nice without buying expenny extractors?? Still have the metre long sausage muffler so that needs to go for a start and thinking about stainless 1.5" twin pipes and experiment with 1 or 2 resonators 

Any other thoughts/opinions welcome

Hey fellas 

Just wondering about a 4 to 5 stud adaptor for toyota ?

Are there any available out there?? The only 2 i have seen are from scarles and gktech and they only do them for nissan :/ 

Last time i checked the lvvta they were legal to have on the car long as they met the requirements. 

http://www.gktech.com/index.php/4-to-5-stud-wheel-adapters.html

Any info is appreciated especially if you have some for a toyota hahah

Cheers 

ill come for a gander.. maybe.. hopefully 

i have a yb125 1973 which is dereg an getting some work done on it at the mo but it hasnt had a reg since 96, just wondering how expensive itll be to get it back on the road

mechanic said i have to have a certificate for the brakes ??and said itll be around $800 to reregister again which seems a bit excessive. its still got plates on it

any info will be good

cheers  

I guess this means you should be thankful then that they were so misinformed that you didn't get repeated fines for no front bumper, I recall you saying that the cop didn't know shit when he gave you a fine for not having a bumper and you saying there wasn't anything illegal about it, I'd just say your lucky

i know im lucky i didnt get done for other things but the fact that i didnt have to go through this hassle if i had been told or given a warning by the other cops if that makes sense 

oh well ya live an learn 

Do you own a flatpeak?

hmmmm no i do not my long locks are free in the breeze 

its actually quite frustrating how uninformed the cops are about the "rules" every one of them say something different about. Ive been pulled over 5 times in the last month just because of "the type of car i own"- their words, an none of them mentioned anything about missing bumper 

nope.

 

Condition and performance

1. The risk of a component (Note 5) hooking a vehicle, or hooking or grazing a person, has not been minimised, eg a bonnet or bumper has been removed, exposing sharp, moving or hot components.

Oh wot, got told by another cop previously that as long as my plate is showing its fine 

/irony

#karmageddon

Was waiting for it to happen sooner or later so not fussed just thought it would be for adjusties cause youre allowed to drive without a front bumper but this cunt doesnt know anything. He thought my gear knob was illegal 

black smoke will be it running rich as fuck, maybe on 5 cyls, white smoke pouring out would be turbo.

 

what happened to all these wheels coming from japan?

oh well if it is seems like a good time to reg on hold  an rip engine out an do something mechanical with it. 

Thought it was turbo cause theres a shit ton of oil pissing out the seals an using heaps of engine oil 

still waiting on them moonlight have had some delays so hoping end of september 

So today a bit happened test fitted the 15s not going to run them anytime soon pics will show why lel 

got pink stickered while broken down for no bumper of all things. black smoke started pouring out the exhaust so pretty sure my turbos gone but car doesnt want to run for long or move 

New to do list 

- remove adjusties 

-take cage out 

- springs back in

- seats back in 

-go to vtnz an fail on their picky fucking standards, no doubt more shit they'll make me do 

one more:

any auction dates ?

Do they clear the calipers?

^^^ I hope you have test fit them. Steelies like this usually don't fit single pots, Let alone gtst brakes.

You haven't really thought about this have you.. unless you've got the poverty brakes, also good luck fitting those under the guards...

I too felt all your concerns when i first bought them but only need a 10mm bolt on spacer to clear the callipers or just whip out the angle grinder an grind a bit of the top of the calliper an its sweet. 

Guard work will be immense if i commit to running them instead of just 8s allround with the meshies. Gt refinishers will surely get the job to do the guards though 

finally got tyres for the 15x10s auto stance managed to do it
