  1. Try Doug down at UPGarage in Tacomaa (253-565-9823)he deals with a lot of GTRs and has done a few RB swaps into S30s
  2. hmmm - maybe the sale of my rb240z could be the downpayment on one of these
  3. Q - nice to see your car is finally on the road. BTW - you won't be disappointed with the Vipec - my car (soon to be ex-car) runs very smoothly with this ems.
  4. I saw that the other night and thought I recognized it. Nicely restored car - congrats.
  5. Gentlemen, I just listed my RBZ for sale in the classifieds, but I also wanted to give a big thanks to the crew here at Hybridz (particularly Matt H, Stony, BobH, Careless, Fentin, JohnC). Your patience in answering my questions over the years about parts or just to provide advice on how I should set up my car has been much appreciated. Among the various auto forums on the web, HBZ is at the top of the list, both for its technical information and the quality of its members. I'll check in on HBZ every so often and let you know what new fun car I end up with. Best regards, Matt
  6. I would second the thought on the British Museum, one of my favorites. As Alan said, the food is actually quite good if you don't hang around Picadilly or the Strand too much. Soho has an amazing array of eateries, just wander around and you'll find something you'll like. If you like spicy food, you will not find better Indian restaurants than in London (certainly not in the States). Some of the Pakistani and middle eastern eats are also very nice. Chasing everything down with a pint of Newcastle Brown or London Pride is pretty good too. Ye Old Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street is an interesting pub to visit if you happen to be in the City.
  7. Joel - I'm guessing you've seen this, but if not have a look at gtr.co.uk, tons of threads on shuffle (aka compressor surge). Some believe the balance pipe eliminates the issue (HKS makes a stupid expensive manifold), others suggest that it can be tuned out.
  8. Does anyone have a good condition spare set of the hard lines (with all the fittings) used to feed water to the turbos? If so please send me a PM with price. Thanks Matt
  9. Awesome - Thanks for the info. I damaged the indicator on one of my struts a couple years back and thought it would forever be set at 3!
  10. Seems like a RB26/30 combo from RIPZ would be a better choice. Twin turbo, nice rpm range, and massive torque. I have to believe that it would also be cheaper than a completely custom 3.2L L28dett.
  11. Nice notchback - I wanted one of those when I was 16 - unfortunately they're pretty rare in the US. The old school vans with the flip out front windows are pretty cool as well. Thanks for sharing these pics.
  12. I paid fairly close to list price, however I did so to get full support from my tuner and the dealer that sold the unit here in the US. That said, if you are going to tune this EMS yourself I would suggest emailing a couple of the dealers down in Aus/NZ as their dollars are currently weaker than USD and the list prices are nearly identical in nominal terms. Of course you wouldn't have access for troubleshooting quite as easily. Good luck. My local tuner (Doug at UP Garage in Tacoma) has installed three of these units (RB25, RB26, and maybe KA) with very good results (smooth power and torque, solid idle and drivability). I'm hoping this is the last EMS I need for my car!
  13. I just bought the plugin version for my RB. It should be installed and tuned by end of May. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.
  14. Nice ride. The shift boot gives it just the right amount of funk!
  15. Thanks Mike. Out of curiosity - what engine management are you running?
