    Wrong fuel - more than once?

    here in oz, they went to a smaller inlet size on cars when they got rid of leaded petrol for this reason, ulp into diesel vehicles does still happen from what i hear, most petrol stations have a big clip on the diesel bowsers that you have to press to get the nozzle out plus they were set apart...

    thinking about getting a Silvia s15 what mods should I do? list from first to last mod...

    the SR20DET is starting to get up towards crazy cost wise and reliability wise when you are talking 350hp, where as the RB, 350hp is mainly a case of a slightly bigger turbo setup and good tune. here in Australia a popular " mashup" is the RB25 DOHC head on the slightly earlier 3L RB30 block...

    Are you addicted to driving?

    we wouldn't be on forums like this if we weren't addicted to driving, i mean what is the point of having a nice car( well everyone thinks their own car is nice anyways) if you don't want to just jump in and go do what it was designed to do, whether track, highway or offroad?

    Suggestions on bonnet vents?

    Why have a 1000bhp car

    you will find that they really aren't that bad economy wise, like most cars they really only use alot of fuel when you put the foot down a bit, turbo's anyway, i previously owned a GMH HJ Monaro LE with a supercharged 427 BB Chev with top figures of 930hp @flywheel and 9.73 seconds the only time...
