  1. haha well luckily there was no mark on the mirror. So im happy
  2. was at a carpark. Next to me was a Toyota 4wd. Family was getting into the car. Im standing next to my car, getting the feeling that a door is gonna whack into my car. Kid runs up to his parents 4wd, opens his door and flings it into my car. Doesnt even notice as he tried to climb into the 4wd. His parents already sitting in the car, I shout out to the kid. He says "Sorry" and turns his back to jump into the car. Tell him wtf, and inspect the damage. His parents are still sitting inside the car, dont even lower the window or anything. Just waiting for the kid to hop into the car. Door opened and hit the side mirror. Didnt leave any mark luckily. Considering how their parents reacted to their kid hitting someones car I doubt they would have been keen on fixing any damage. If I wasnt there either, they would have driven off without a care in the world. f**k i hate people

    That was me who beeped and parked next to Charles
  4. haha maximum respect!
  5. haha true that. Did AP end up selling his r32?
  6. keep walkin pal. Unless you got 4yrs+ of r32 ownership under your belt, you still a greenhorn
  7. not many r32's left now. Rylan, Sam and myself left now!
  8. Funky you sold your r32 yet?
  9. yup thats what i meant haha Ive got 7 stockies at home, would only be able to use on the rears and dont think vicroads would like me showing up with 17's on front and stockies on the rear Pref to have stockies all round when at deca. Dont want to flat-spot or wear out the fronts
  10. haha true that. Basing my jibbajabba off my car, awd cars go speak to your suspension workshop. hmmm If i get GTR brembo's on the front, then I wont be able to run r32 stockies on the front anymore Might have to settle for some R33 GTST calipers
  11. you're better off running camber setting which will improve lifespan of tyres. In this case, you should aim for about -1.5deg on front and about -0.5 on rear. The rear you will want as neutral as possible. This will depend on height of car and the range of your camber setup. Ive got two rear camber bush kits on the rear, best could get with my height was -1 degree Talk to your suspension workshop regarding best setup. I recommend Traction Tyres in Rowville. They will point you in the right direction based on what you plan to use your car for. The more front negative camber the better. As you turn through corners, car leans onto the outside wheel, enforcing positive camber. By dialing in negative camber, the positive camber occuring through the turn balances this out and applies more tyre to the road. Hence better grip/traction through the turn. So, if anything, less understeering. The rear you would like minimum camber, as to provide maximum grip during acceleration (more grip to the road). However, having too little negative camber and going through a corner will create positive camber and may cause you to spin out if accelerating due to the smaller tyre footprint. Basic explanation, so dont shoot me down with specifics Camber = serious business
  12. Thats what the new Need for Speed hot pursuit is. Just came out. Was deciding between GT5 and NFS. Got GT5 instead, game is too serious. Needs more lambo police haha
  13. Need for Speed 3 FTW
  14. Was deciding between GT5 and Need for speed. The good ol' memories of Need for speed back in 1998 was win. Ended up getting GT5. Should have got NFS for the old school no brainer racing haha
  15. haha sounds like an epic trip! The lambo factory tour was closed due to the production of the 2011 lambo happening and they didnt want to leak the design etc Did not see any windows in the museum (unless it was covered up for the above reason)
  16. Pics of ferrari/lambo/pagani tour here; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/La...an-t345855.html
  17. Hey all, After seeing this thread (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Italy-Factory-Tours-t342860.html) I decided to detour to Italy on the way back home. Thanks goes to http://www.motorstars.org/ for organising such an awesome tour! Also had a 30min spin of the Ferrari 458italia which was unbelievable. Less chat; Here are the pics. LAMBO MUSEUM ALBUM: Part 1: http://img87.imageshack.us/g/img57340.jpg/ Part 2: http://img217.imageshack.us/g/img58380.jpg/ PAGANI MUSEUM ALBUM http://img338.imageshack.us/g/img58620.jpg/ Tour also involved visiting the Pagani factory but no cameras were allowed FERRARI MUSEUM ALBUM http://img683.imageshack.us/g/img59670.jpg/ annnd the ferrari 458italia which i drove ^^, Definitely something which must be done when visiting Europe. Flights and accomodation in Bologna, Italy is affordable so real easy to drop by Enjoy!
  18. haha i lol'd, might be in the wrong forum for that type of advice! Best handling height for r32 gtst; 350mm guard to centre of wheel (according to sydneykid) re; low height; just set it to what ever height you want. Cops will defect you for anything these days. if not your ride height, something else. You can never win, so why bother trying haha. Least with adjustable height coilovers, you can easily put it back up to legal height etc
  19. would you prefer a noise test on the spot? What if you fail then? Then there is no reason not to issue you a fine or say the car is undriveable from that moment. At least with the current system, you can change it back to standard and then go to to noise test Sure you get done for a $xx test fee but I believe its better than any possible on-the-spot fine if they do testing when they pull you over. (this all based on cop issuing noise epa notice) std r32 gtst exhaust is 89db so anything modified will be over the limit. Majority of skyline drivers would be over the limit unless they spent money on a custom silent exhaust.
  20. haha ¬_¬ Sold off the water-meth, and either going to upgrade the brakes to GTR calipers. On another note; Thrashed a Ferrari 458italia. Was awesome. Best part was overtaking on the single lane. As soon as no oncoming cars, vroom. Shit load of torque and power, made everything look like it standing. Then some rev limiting at the traffic lights. Going to be sad jumping back into the r32 And on another note; confirmed with mechanic who worked in Lamborghini that they did source the headlamps from Nissan Pics of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani factory/museums will be uploaded soon
  21. haha, Aston Martins dont have a lot of presence here either. There are heaps of them on the street. Did see the V10 Audi R8. Yum Yum
  22. Intercooler give me, still charge him $7k. Win-Win
  23. haha all good fun. Business trip over, time for annual leave which will be spent on a couch now No more Bugatti for me haha
  24. holy shiet. Went for a walk outside my Mayfair, London Hotel. R8's, AMG 4wd with saudi plates, aston martins, pagani zondas, ferraris, lambos, bentleighs, rolls royce and a Bugatti Veyron! Game over. The Bugatti was friggen unbelieveable. What recession? BMW M3's are like the holden commodores here.
  25. learn to google http://nistune.com/
