Yeah, I was running the polyprop Jaycar 6.5" coaxials in the doors and was most impressed with them. Now going to 8" and 6.5" carbon drivers in the doors with tweets flat on the dash to reflect upwards. Polyprops will now go in a rear build-out on the hatch and recently got the dual c...

Yo Smithy, Saw a site a while back on replacing with late 80s CRX brakes. Comprehensive instructions and pictures made it look a good idea...was in Japanese though and I didn't get it translated. Still tyring to find the site for ya!  :-/ :) Have used std brakes on mine but will go to carbon-meatlli...

Hiya and welcome to the site!  ;D I'm from Christchurch, NZ Yeah all of us have the older shape Citys. For some reason Honda decided not to turbo the new ones, damn shame, could have lot's of potential. You could always do what Colza suggested and have a custom turbo installed on yours. There's noth...

Have passed a warrant in mine with no back seats. Had the belts tucked away, but said they did function if required. One person has tested them, but on another occassion they didn't worry. Seems to be fine over here, don't know about Aus or anywhere else!  ;D

Yeah, think I have the same problem on my T2 as well. Only a problem if started while engine is very warm, ie stopped for 3-4 minutes. It sounds like the fuel pump doesn't run. OK if left for another 3 -4 mins. Usually try a few starts anyway. Also get a bit of surging/dying while driving along. Oft...

Hiya Hawk, There was a post a while back that got into gasket sets. I recently got one from NZGaskets, which turned out to be a T1 set, but most of it was ok for a T2 head as well. Just intake gaskets etc too small.  :-/ The part number was included. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is ...

Yo Glenn,
I reckon the car will do mid to low 14's but it's also up to the driver!  ;D
For more go, you could look at increasing boost and adding a "Boostboy special" Fuel Cut Defender. With that intercooler, it should handle around 18 psi.
Go get 'em!! ;D

Yo guys, There's a dude around Christchurch with a pipe running straight down from the flexi. This exits at the back from an upturned 3" tip right in the middle of the car. Looks pretty cool!  ;D I'm using the exact system bigelboe mentioned with the wastegate going back into the exhaust. http:...

A new board would be the go I think. Just wondering if the FAQs should then appear off the home page under Info after being discussed in the forum. It comes down deciding if it's just for the benefit of members or if it's provided as info for the general public to look and learn from. I was on a Jap...

Totally agree Brendan!
We have a great forum going here due to the attitude of those who participate. Anyone who doesn't respect this and can't be bothered having a look for info first deserves their ass kicked or being banned.  >:(
So how's your Silvia going anyway?
Cheers,
Pete

Hiya Citurbo2, Welcome to the site and good to read you've been getting some good info from it. Hey sounds like you have exactly the problem I had in mine. You've got a stuffed head gasket!  :o This causes all the symptoms you've described. Do a very thorough check of water in the oil, ie looks milk...

Yo all, Just like to say thanks for all the support and enthusiasm from you guys over the past year.  ;D I'm sure a lot of people would still be swearing and cursing over unresolved niggles etc if it weren't for this site. Big CHEERS to Brendan, Glenn and Tim for their efforts and to everyone who ha...

Yo Crooky,
There's a little trick to that one, having recently done mine.  ;)
The rocker just to the left of the drive gear can be pushed further over to the left. Then you can just pull the whole unit out.  :)
Good luck.
Pete

Go for a front mount intercooler if you're going to run more than 14 psi. I'm looking at putting the std one beside the radiator. It's got to help eh?!  ;)
Pete

Must be pretty much right as I used a City "E" (as they are in NZ - same as Aus Pro) head on the T2. Had to do minor work to get the rocker cover to fit, but shouldn't need this on a T1 head. May be different compression, but don't think so  :-/
