    Try 09

    secretgarage, you know you don't have to put a capital at the start of each word, makes it really hard to read! try09's has been sold before hasn't it?
  2. Send message to the guys, waiting on response (back on topic you perverts)
  3. In the last hour it appears we have an update. Johns dad will have sex with my mum, and sxe33 is going to join the party. Hope that answers the question stealth. PS. Nice work on putting that one together Marc
  4. john make sure you get brembo rotors or DBA 4000 series, after what happened to my std DBA's, you may do the same
  5. NA_33 left out the bit where he was beaten by a non turbo R31 (mine) Going fast in a straight line takes stuff all skill in a normal road car. You will be a better driver if you learn to corner/slide/brake/apply power in a controlled environment - like a skidpan, driver training centre, or track. The 31 on the skidpan below set the quickest time round that track last skidpan. There were 8 R33 GTS-t's there i think. A turbo isn't the be all and end all. I want one so bad it hurts, but driving a slower/inferior car taught me a lot more than driving a good fast car would have. You need to learn to drive, not win red light drag races.
  6. what will your dad drive?
  7. id say go 17's for tyre choice and price. 17x8 would be a heaps better option than 18x7.5.
  8. take it back. Ask them why they have so much toe out front and rear. that alignment looks like itll wear the inside edges a bit too. maybe they want to you go back and buy some tyres soon.
  9. jason @ automotive technique in Labrador (north gold coast) 55371515 He is a sponsor and did some of the brake conversion on my car. Good honest mechanic who knows imports.
  10. got some info, but need to wait some more. im freaking out, couldnt sleep on wednesday night due to skidpan thoughts.
  11. might have some news tomorrow. keep your peepers out.
  12. Refer to above. If brain and body are able to operate a motor vehicle, I will attend.

    Tail ender

    Im scared of marc when he's in a good mood. He's a big unit. The shaved head helps him there.
  14. Saab may use a 3.2L twin turbo HF V6 in one of their cars. I sell VL's and R31's, the VL is nowhere.

    Plus mesmer would have been shitting himself, you're a bit bigger than him. Your car gets hit in the rear end more than a drunk bloke at the mardi gras.
  16. ive never had a drama with cops at any cruises ive organised. You never know though. I don't think there would be a problem as cruises like this are always well behaved.
  17. Id be scared of theives knowing my car if it was featured in a mag. Youll be alright though john, they wouldnt bother with an auto.
  18. Gary is bringing these Skyline pictures to the cruise guys. They are professional pencil/graphite prints that look really good. $20 each, and he has R31 - R34. Perfect for framing and hanging in garage/house. Bring some cash, they are good.

    It wasn't mesmer was it? Bummer dude.
  20. Johnny - get DBA slotted rotors only, don't get cross drilled as well. 4000 series is a good idea too.
  21. R31 for sure. Just look at the inside of a ser 3 skyline compared to a VL. RB30E's vary, mine is crap up top, some have good top end, some are more powerful for no apparent reason (bloody kryz). Which is faster will vary car to car. In my experience, the 31's drive better than the VL's overall. Wheel selection is a pain, but R33 aftermarket non turbo, and silvia wheels fit, so this makes it a bit easier. Mine has been really reliable. The diff is fine. I did two or 3 skidpan days before I even changed the oil in it. It looked like someone had crapped in the diff when i dropped the oil. Did another 3 skidpan days and its fine. Used a diff treatment and full synth fluid and its quieter now. In 4yrs Ive had the following breakdowns: Clutch slave and master cyl, Dizzy (probably the bloody CAS), water pump, water pump gasket, and power steering pump, and its had a seriously hard time. The only reason I would buy a VL over a 31 is if I had a blind loyalty to holden.
  22. Just a side note: Just because a bike's speedo reads 310kmh, doesnt mean its going over 300kmh. So if someone claims they pulled over 300kmh on their speedo, they may not have really cracked 300kmh. Hayabusas have been known to be "a bit optimistic"
  23. I stick the Skidpan ones there for a few good reasons. I am making a thousand dollar commitment when I book a skidpan, so exposure and turnout are very important. These thrusday night cruises have so much response they will stay up the top in the events forum anyway. Skidpan threads can have quiet times but need to stay up there. If I have some time I will try and come. Drove my car for the first time in 3 weeks the other night to get some food.
  24. Hah, I thought Nizmo was 16 when I looked across at her info, but 20 is alright. Go for it dude.
