  1. I think it would have more to do with your service provider than the actual phone.. Telstra has the best reception out of the lot. I'm with optus and I use an iPhone, and a mate with optus also, sometimes has better reception with his nokia.. We were workin the the sticks in tassie, no optus reception at all ( no tower yet ) and a few of his sms managed to sneak through.. So go figure?
  2. Why again did they leave as a site sponsor?

    Xcal 3

    They wont give you any moer for trade in with the bits on, so why not take the bits off, sell them and have a bit of spending money on the new car, plus not having to buy another xcal.. that's what I'd do anyway..
  4. As above, Alex answeres my 1 million questions..
  5. Looks good mate.. Im not really noticing any difference with after my Nizzy cooler install.. The 4" intake on the other hand sounds wicked.. What intake have you got? Ps, I want your front bar...
  6. Just dropping E85 alone in there wouldnt do much would it? Dont you need a tune to get max results, thus on a turbo car being able to run more boost, timing etc.. = more power..
  7. Ok cool.. My cars a BA, and is on about 140,000kms on the clock.. It use to see alot of daily driving, but now I have a work car it only sees the road on weekends ( nearly 2 years worth now ). I've slowed down the servicing ( every 10,000kms ) due to this and im older now and rarely drive it hard, just a quick stab from the lights usualy to the speed limit and cruise ( my cruise control would die before anything I reckon lol ) I just added a new intake and cooler, to make the car 'happier' in the summer months... Dont really want to push the power too much anymore due to its age, and im happy where its at power wise anyway..
  8. Like a normal service.. Plugs, fuel filter, oil, oil filter etc... Or is it just a oil change in between the 'normal' service?
  9. Now u guys are servicing it more often, is that a decent service, or just an oil change?
  10. Have it so the lid can be on or off, then dyno it back to back..
  11. LOL@ Henz Love this car, cant wait to hear the thing at full noise, breaking records..
  12. Yea your not wrong, wierd as.. Was cruising on the freeway and it doin a like jerky feeling with the throttle.. Throttle response with the new intake is wicked, almost fells n/a if that's not the sensor messing around with it..
  13. Can anyone tell me if I can drive the thing with no boost sensor connected, obviously I wont be doin anything stupid, but yea just put put it around??
  14. Yea sweet thx mic, think ill send one of the pipes back to Plazmaman and get them to weld the bit for the sensor on it..
  15. that list is forever growing hehe
  16. Yeah Dillz hahha been a while ey.. Dont think ill want to make too much, as the 4sp is standard hehe
  17. Ok to drive with it not connected?
  18. So its ok to bo on the cold side? I might send it back to plazmaman and get them to do it...
  19. LOVE the wheels... I got the same but the grey inserts haha
  20. Forgot to add, the boost sensor that went to the ubp, I understand that I need to relocate it, extend the wires, but which pipes do I connect it to hot or cold? Hotside would be a pain in the ASS. Cheers Mike..
  21. Got off the Sprit of Tas at like 7am, got picked up and went home to see a mound of parts in my room, couldnt wait and had to fit em up. You get fairly bored in tassie and that's not good, for compulsive buying... Anyway, what new sh*t I put on: Nizpro battery kit Nizpro 4" Intake Nizpro Stage 2 cooler Firstly, the cooler (bought off mrmackie, top bloke) is from there stage 2 kit, which is ment to have a plenum, I dont have a plenum. I ended up emailing Alex from Plazmaman, who was a great help and answered all my questions.. Ordered the coldside and got it sent home. The intake and battery kit was bought off Lozza for a steal IMO.. Great buying second hand stuff for the price, sh*t for no instructions lol.. Not that im blaming anyone I usually chuck mine out too hhaah.. So it was a bit of mucking around and thanks to Danny (headsex) and Turbo6FG it made some sence.. Got the old man and a mate to help, all up took us about 6hrs with breaks and alot of trial and error(battery tray) The cold side pipes had to be trimmed down and had to get the bov hole welded up, and on a sat at around midday, we just got it done before the place closed. The battery tray is still not 100% as I cant seem to find my std battery parts needed to go along with the Nizzy setup (had a different battery relocate setup, but coldside pipes wouldnt clear, so had to change to the nizpro setup) So if anyone has a spare std battery kit lying around ill grab it off ya.. The 4" intake is a huge mofo and I'd love to hear it at full boost but will have to wait till the tune.. Anyone know what it sounds like? Dose or flutter? Other mods are, siemens 60 pounders, valve springs, walbro intank, centre muff removed and Plazma hot side pipes. Currently running around 250rwkw's, which im happy with as nothing 'should' break (auto, engine) Exhaust is standard, but im tempted to chuck an aftermarket cat in there, and should be good for 300ish atw's.. I can hear Danny saying, "do your wastegate and actuator", which is what I should do and then tune all at once.. But then my auto would prob let go and I aint got the dosh to fix atm.. So ill prob just get the retune and put along for a while.. The new intake should make driving in summer alot better, partly why I got the new gear anyway, the lil wog cooler and semi standard setup I had wasnt up to the task.. Pics:
  22. Yea sorry, also a nizzy cooler Where do I fit the sensor to, Cold side pipes or Hotside? Is it ok to drive around as is? *Beep*, the cooler is from there stage 2 kit, which is meant to have a plenum.. I dont have a plenum so I got cold side pipes off plazmaman that runs from the rubber nizpro pipe that goes under the headlight to the TB.. The plazma pipes had a bit welded on but that was for a bov, which I had welded shut.. Everything is sorted except for the boost sensor thingy... I cant give it any beans anyway cause its needed a retune before the new bits went on today..
