  1. went to carwash today and spoke to the person next to me who had a 260kw atw soarer. Greenish-blue colour. Awesome looking car, not sure if it helps with your decision
  2. I was looking through dicksmith catalouge and they sell the same plastic clips which were on the original parcel shelf. Although they come at different heights so they can fit my 6mm mdf. If this fails, ill use a router to make a hole and that way the bolt will be level with the wood and then carpet ontop.
  3. Okay, if anyone else is interested, ill explain what ive done so far 1. buy 6mm mdf from bunnings - $10 2. take out old parcel shelf from car, and strip everything off it down to the wood under the carpet. 3. Place the original wood parcel shelf ontop of MDF board. 4. Use as template and jigsaw around to get shape of shelf on the new wood 5. Jigsaw the airvents and speaker holes. Some hints; - Angle the edge of the mdf so it can be pressed againts the window. - I used the original clips from the shelf on my new shelf, now it clips at the back and holds firm. etc etc Now for Pictures Tomorrow, ill be carpetting it up
  4. well if i have dirt on my car, this will give me stress of it eating/scratching my paint. I think thats a valid health issue
  5. is this really true? It's recycled water though why would it matter. Dont think we will see many car wash places shutting down when stage 4 comes. Maybe the profit earned would be larger than the fine issued. Guess its time to wash our cars with bottled water
  6. Pm replied These are brand new with the plastic film still on the lens to prevent scratching.
  7. you wash your car everyday for 4hours?! lol Who wants to start a carwash place?. We could earn a heap with these restrictions
  8. was directed to the other 2 having a go at the r32 for no reason.
  9. Please research before spamming shit on the boards

  13. yip mine is looking like your first pictures. The vent holes took a while to cut out with jigsaw and so did the weird shape for the windscreeen wiper. The speakers came with mounting clips which were too small for the thickness of wood used. So used a rotor to shed off a couple of milimtr's for the clip to fit on perfectly. Where the holes are for the clips (which held on the original parecel shelf) ill be putting a bolt and nut to hold it nice and firm. Will have pics of the whole process once im finished
  14. my item was "buy it now" so i just got them to buy it without setting an account for me. If its an auction style, they will set up a bidding account for ya. Cheers
  15. http://www.slidewizeimports.com/ Slidewize can help you, he a business trader on this forum. Recently got my item from yahoo auction sent by him. Cheers
  16. decided to buy 6mm mdf board, pulled out my old parcel shelf and stripped it back to the wood. Will be using it as a template with the rotor.
  17. Ive stumbled across this one: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-RHINO-RAM-Dual-...VQQcmdZViewItem Rhino Ram V2 GSM Alarm I was going to get it, but styln (in melbourne) doesnt want to install it
  18. Quick pic i took, will be returning to location to get better shots
  19. sure, there are times when i see a clean r33, i think maybe i should have gone the r33, but it comes down to your budget and your personal preference. A clean stock r32 = $12k A clean stock r33 = $16-17k Now if you spend $4k ontop of the stock r32 to match the stock r33 price, you might have some interesting results hehe
  20. Comes down to supply and demand i reckon. The market is full of r33's and everyone is competing to sell theirs off. The majority of import dealers dont even stock 1-2 r32's. IMO due to the competition this is why r33's are so cheap. When people are looking to buy a r32, they are not so much keen on the power, as a r33 is a much stronger car, but rather tend to look at the other aspects of the car in terms of its quality. The price is probably high because the majority of owners are car enthusiasts and take care/respect of the car. Or you can pick a cheap thrashed r33 owned by some muzza who was looking for massive power and minimum cost, hence avoided the r32 due to its weaker nature. I paid $13k for a freshly imported r32 (1993 October) and would have easily paid more. Cheers This is all my opinion so i may be wrong
  21. so the reason of no audio from rear speakers is due to the stock amp which needs to be bypassed? Car came from japan with aftermarket headunit and 4 stock speakers. Rear stocks never played any audio.
  22. Currently have a freshly imported r32 gtst with a cut up parcelshelf (carpet/wood) As there was a airpurifier located on the back and now 3 child restraints, the wood if full of holes and looks tacky. Im planning on making a new parcel shelf for the r32 and have some questions for the people who have already made one. 1. What is the best thickness of mdf board to use? Im thinking of 6mm to hold two 6.5" speakers. 2. Do all three child restraints need to be on the parcel shelf to be legal? Can I only have one in the middle/or none? 3. As the speakers are larger than stock, they will not match with the existing screw mounts on the chassis, so the speakers will be mounted to the wood. Should foam be placed between the board and metal or only on the edges where it could vibrate with window/metal? Also any other hints would be sweet ---- and an audio related question; When i purchased the car, no signal was being transmitted to the stock rear speakers. Could this be headunit fault or the amp under the parcel shelf? I have a feeling the previous japanese owner disconnected rear speakers from headunit as they were both cracked. (tested the speakers out of the car and worked so it aint speaker issue) Thanks - Patrick
  23. mm no one from SAU showed up. Played some golf with some friends and drove the golfcart around the tables as a circuit haha
  24. Anyone coming tonight? Starts at 7pm, the place can stay open till 11pm if people want to stay that late. aircon, cheap booze and snacks. Cheers
  25. Quickly want to get the word out if anyone planned on coming to the indoor driving range golf simulator event tonight? The place is airconditioned and has cheap booz details here ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=141786 ) As the current thread has been spammed im not sure if anyone is coming. The event will still go ahead starting at 7pm, but people can come at any time after 7pm. The event will end around 11pm, but may be earlier depending on how many people stay. Arrive and leave whenever Bring anyone you want and spectating is free, Pretty much a last resort to see if i can scrape some people into the event Cheers Patrick
