sorry to dredge up such an old post but i've finally got round to posting a pic of my caldina that is completely debadged. Sorry for the poor picture quality ( 2mp camera phone was all i had at the time) but it at least shows what cal's look like with no rear badges. I personally like it far more ...

I had 1 12" pioneer sub tsw1200c sub in a sealed box i made myself and pulled 132db out of it from a little 200w lightning audio amp, all of which was just sitting in the boot of my silvia with no sound deadening and it pissed all over a couple of really nice tidy expensive ported twin sub systems ...

sorry, stupid computer double posting again...

Front fog lamps illuminate the road ahead in foggy conditions, both at night and during the day. They give off a short, wide beam of light that is designed to shine through the fog, lighting up the area directly in front of the vehicle ...

My bro has put an sc14 charger in his s14 silvia and i think it redlines just on 9k like was said earlier. The rest of the car is pretty stock other than the exhaust/manifold and the f/m ic and it's making 160kw at the wheels. I'll try and get some pics posted. But yeah it goes pretty hard.

My gf has just started working for iag (state nzi etc) and said her trainer has told them that like distrb said its a conversion error. Apparently it has caused many headaches not only with clients but employees as well as some policies have been going missing altogether but they are slowly working ...

It will run them but it wont sound the best, ideally you want to match the rms or have the amp output slightly higher than the rms of the sub, that way when you crank it and the sub needs to go hard the amp isnt struggling to keep up therefore possibly damaging both... if you can find a single ...

They are linked to the rear demister, usually works within a min or two, very handy!

I've managed to score myself a decent laptop from my work that some moron tried to steal and ended up completely rooting the lcd screen so much that even though he got it out of the lockdown he deceided he didnt like that model anymore and left it.... So screen is buggered but i have figured out how ...

ok just read gulls website and it does say 98 on there... Maybe someone should be a guinea pig and see how it goes in a turbo car... maybe try it on a dyno with normal 98 and with this stuff to see if there is any difference....

I just saw this on the news but im sure they said it was only 90 RON not 98...

I had a leak on mine and when we pulled the manifold off we found (luckily) it wasnt warped, it had just sheared of a couple of studs. so nice easy fix, drill out old studs and put new ones in, problem fixed (for now) so might pay to have a closer look....

I had GridIII potenza's on my s14 and then i got gsd3's and tbh i preferred the gridIII's.... Little bit noisier but not as loose in the wet as the gsd3's.... but each to their own... plus i get cheap bridgies

Looks like Al's Caldina is up for sale again.

Plus the guy can't spell half the parts properly... Not the sort of car i'd give up lightly.... just thought i'd let everyone know incase someone else ...

yeah boost on cal's is funny. I think fivebob figured it out to being poor boost algorithms or something like that and you need a really good (read hks etc) multi stage boost controller i think to fix it. My caldina is completely factory and it peaks at nearly 15 and drops back to 12.5ish or ...

the land transport rule: frontal impact 2001 states "a frontal impact airbag and it's operating system must remain operational if the vehicle was originally manufactured with a frontal impact airbag", meaning a steering wheel with an airbag must stay there. The only way round it is with lvv cert and ...

I have removed all of mine, the caldina and gtt badges are just stuck on and the toyota one has 2 pins, i got mine taken off after i got rearended and they had to respray the whole boot anyway, looks mint with no badges at all, now just need to replace the front gt with a nice shiny trd one...

Found this while looking on Tardme....

Looks like he's done a fairly neat job, Pity he doesnt know how to work out torque properly, but something a bit different and i bet it goes like the clappers...

i have a similar prob in my car (97 gtt), got it checked and found that the crap nankangs that were on my car had flat spots all round them and one wheel wasn't perfectly found so it wobbles a little... not much to do except replace rims and tyres...
