  1. Can i get the details too plz.
  2. Spotted this morning: * Heslo on Lefevre Tce * Vange on Main North Rd
  3. Unless you plan to wrap your turbo in leather?
  4. The new Volvo's are bloody nice too, and they love their turbos, those crazy Swedes!
  5. Nice work with organising it all And those prices are certainly reasonable.

    Other than what you can pick up here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...hp?showforum=80 I doubt SAU has a great deal more to offer. Have you tried searching US sites? Sold as an Infiniti G35 over there (if you didn't know already).
  8. Towards the back, taking the right fork from the main entrance, there's a good BBQ area. Think it begins with a K. Oh yeah and I'm interested too.
  9. Crossed paths with another 4dr R32 (Silver) on George St Parkside over the weekend. Fella gave me a wave, I was a little slow on the uptake, so I hope you saw me reply in kind mate.
  10. ...and I like cheese.
  11. I remembered an old Autospeed article on this, here it is: http://autospeed.drive.com.au/cms/A_2045/article.html And here's the details of the mob they used (website appears down though). Automotive Trim & Upholstery Contractors Pty Ltd Beverley 46 Wodonga St 5009 (08) 8243 1890 (08) 8243 1383 [email protected] www.atuc.com.au
  12. No it is 180KPH, once your speedo gets abouve 100KPH it's pretty inaccurate, that's why it'll show 190KPH on the dial around the speed cut. Hook up to the consult port and get a digital read-out and you can see the difference. Edit: Maybe i'm selling the poor speedo short, that's only about a 5% error really, it just gets compounded the faster you go.
  13. They all have rev limiters in, just about every car with an ECU has one, it's common sense. These aren't carbied V8's that let you spin em till they do bearings, or just 'splode, etc. Just coz the guage says 9000 RPM doesn't mean you can actually hit it. You can get Nismo 320KPH Speedos too... I can't remember the factory ECU strategy but I'm pretty sure it's an ignition cut. They make a distinctive noise when they bounce off it too. I tell a lie, you probably could hit 9000 RPM if you were revving high in 3rd gear, and on the gear change managed to grab 2nd instead 4th. Pretty sure a Volvo did it in Targa a few years back, went to 10,000 RPM, then popped! Edit: The easiest way to find it (your limit) is do a burnout in 2nd. You should be able to hold it there no worries for a while. Just don't go free revving it to find out (can't remember exactly why but) it's bad. If i remember rightly stock R32 is about 7200RPM (gauge reads 8500-9000 and redline starts at 6500-7000).

    Mt Gambier Hill Climb

    You'd as much do it for the road trip (which apparently people are keen to do something), but it's not gonna happen, too late in the piece now.
  15. What about Mallala on the Sat for the Drift etc, my missus and her friend are keen to attend, so i'll be heading up. Anyone else? And do we want to meet and cruise up together?
  16. Maroon Stagea, east bound on Montague Rd, 8:45AM this morning. I *THINK* it was a female driver based on a quick glance while heading the other way.

  18. I work with Peter and can vouch for the fact this is a well looked after car. Puts my dirty-two to shame when he parks next to me.
  19. I'm in the same boat, just can't see much point in upgrading while prices are in such a free fall, whether i can justify spending money on my current car though is questionable.
  20. I've got a bunch of R32 coilpacks floating around, you're welcome to come over and grab em some time, I'm just south of the city. PM me if you're interested and we'll sort it out. Cheers, - Ash.
  21. Just to muddy the waters some more what about something like this? OR
  22. Sigh, EVERY dyno thread turns in to this kind of discussion.
  23. Spotted a middle-aged woman in a white R33 turning of Frome Rd in to the carpark next to the Rhino Room. Then i saw a 50+ dude in a S13 on Frome Rd near the Zoo. What's it with the oldies and imports?
  24. For those who've missed it on the news... http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5006301,00.html ...watch yourselves out there. They're using the tripod mount unit and camouflaging it.
