  1. After doing my RB30DET conversion all I had was the dump pipe off the turbo, the exhaust shop was 7km away and I drove it there without any problems, the only difference I noticed was noise and the smell of running without a cat ; )
  2. Ahh, they're just the standard S3 GTR headlights, they came as an option on the S2 GTR's. They'll basically bolt straight in with the exception of the Grille if you have a S1 R33... Worth the money??? probably not unless your priority is aesthetics.
  3. It's probably the thick side walls on the run-flat tyres that give that look. Nismo's never really been the cheap option for tuning, but I think they've totally out-priced themselves this time... The parts look good though
  4. If I saw that right, the black car at the beginning tapped the semi and caused it to roll?? Hmmm anyway Will watch for comic value only... and for the girls.... and some of the cars....
  5. Yes, but shouldnt this mean in coming years cheap 2nd hand GTR's will be available for import/compliance...
  6. Great news, only a matter of time until compliance is available through other places too i'd imagine
  7. I can clarify this: I went from a GTST bov to a GTR bov as part of my RB30 conversion, what has been said is correct, the GTR bov rubber recirc hose is larger & the flanges are the same so it will bolt up. Buy some rad hose and your set.
  8. Pic of my car from a few years ago with smoked indicators
  9. Lol no mate, not unless it had a GTST badge or GTR badge
  10. Sometimes wheel restorers are advertised in car magazine's, thats the sort of person I had in mind.
  11. Are they stainless steel nuts on the stainless steel bolts? if they are thats bad news as they tend to lock together. Next best thing would be to extend your leverage, use a breaker bar and be careful. If you arent confident take it to a professional.
  12. Trying to pass off VORKS as VOLKS is a bit like a transvestite trying to pass off as a female, every now and then some poor bloke finds out the hard way. Moral of the story is no matter how good it looks at the time, at the end of the day you never end up with the real thing.
  13. Doesn't buying fake TE37's defeat the purpose of buying Te37's all together. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the value in the lightweight / strength / quality your getting? Without this all your left with is the image, in which case everyone will be commenting Them nice Volk's You: oh thanks but actually they're fake Them: eh? You: Yeh they're VoRRRk's not Volks Them: LOL I guess it's also possible to take the sticker off and put a real Volk sticker in its place depending on how desperate someone is to convince onlookers your Vorks are fake with genuine Volk stickers, which then begs the question if all that matters is the image, then just buy some chromies.
  14. I echo the post above, however I have LMGT-2's, I didnt torque them, I used the highest clutch setting on the drill when doing them up. Just be aware that some of those nuts will be seized on depending on the age of your wheels and can be difficult to get off - dont strip them CRC / WD40 is your friend.
  15. Not if you order each wheel individually & possibly a few weeks appart and then have them sent to different names & addresses
  16. I remember suggesting this colour for a r33 respray some years ago, would love to see how it comes up
  17. Custom Split dump/front pipe here with a BATMBL 5" Catco cat all be it on an RB30DET setup
  18. Beat me to it... either way the time is still excellent and Clarksons review is reportedly "staggering" I'll just have to wait for the torrent to download, but im sure it'll be up on GTRblog soon anyhow.
  19. Fixed it for you... http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/99575-to...html#post940994 Edit: Heres the photos they took from the Studio audience:
  20. When I saw it it was 100th/sec slower than 3rd place, but the more I look into it the more it sounds than someone was editting that Wiki page every couple of hours...
  21. Dont Click here if you dont want to know what the WIKI time WAS
  22. GTR time has been completely removed now... Oh well saw it last night
  23. Ahh Mario, seems you know my mate (Cam) in the industry as well, said you'll be heading up to a detailer convention in Sydney together soon. Small world... Cheers.
