As said previously, check your policy doc. Then http://ifso.nz/

Though looks like I should be able to do another Manfeild Autocross in it on Sunday.

How much?

Good stuff. Friable - I had to look that one up

Depends on your insurer's definition of 'agreed'. You'll need to check your policy.

You'll need to read your policy to see whether it is agreed value or market value. If it's agreed value it seems unlikely they'll be able to write it off for a slow nose to tail.
Then your only worry is whether the non-disclosed 'go faster' bits give your insurer an excuse to void your policy.

If ...

It depends.

Whose insurer?

Who was at fault?

Were the mods declared?

Where is the car now?

How much is(or was) the car worth?

Which one of you is this?

I wouldn't mind one for around town if they made a GRE154

Bastard I bid on that

Have you tried different gauges?

From memory I was hitting fuel cut on a similar setup. Then after doing the dump pipes it was running about 16psi with no boost controller.

If you're spending less than $100, I'd go for it and make up your own mind.

I saw an increase in boost and improvement in response on a TT 1JZ, but that was using the biggest pod I could find in a shielded set up, and it already had exhaust done.

Cheers man. Yeah curbs and I are going to stay a long way away from each other

Ohhh 2GR in the Estima. Looks like the shocks would be a pain to change due to the way they shoehorned the engine in there, but what do they go like performance wise?

Yeah pretty much...

Driver's side = move the ...

^ New rims look heaps better. Although they also look like they'll be highly allergic to gutters

Changed front shocks on the Estima yesterday - let's play 'Spot the shock mounts':

On the positive side, rattle gun + spring compressors ...

Nitrous is probably your best option, a wet ~25hp shot would be plenty to start with.

No, Pull and Pay sounds like a masturbators club that charges for membership.

The company is still registered, and the website is up so I guess they paid their hosting fees?

Your door handles are different colours?

Should just be an evolution of TEMS? When I replaced the TEMS stuff on my JZZ30 it was pretty reasonable - $150 per corner for genuine stuff from memory.

Ticking probably to do with the direct injection? IS350 and GS350 run the same engine, probably a heap more google results by searching that.

Just checking the obvious - are you sure it's not engine oil from the rear main seal?

Does it just happen on cold starts?

Is it fouling the plugs to the point of misfire?

Have you taken it for a thrash since charging the battery?

Have you gassed it up recently?

ECU should have already been reset when you disconnected the battery to charge it - unless you charged it while it was ...

It seems a lot of the Japanese mufflers like that use mild steel internal pipe, and rust out over time. I've also found quite a few of the 3" systems actually squeeze down to 2.5" or even 2.25" (mild steel) through the muffler.

It would probably only be economic if you were rebuilding it yourself ...

I got the Dewalt DW059 a few years back, bare tool + NiCad came to $300. I just use my RC car charger for it, which gives me a selectable charge rate and a readout of mAh going in each time.

And yeah one of the best purchases I've made in terms of tools. No pissing around slackening wheel nuts ...
