Driving to work at 4:30am guarantee's my windows fogging up so a light wipe over of the AntiFog (made by RainX) and its 98% gone. The only problem with this stuff is if you put it on too thick than it actually works against you.

The only difference I noticed was the massive flames out the rear muffler on gear changes, no power difference from the drivers seat though. If you do notice a difference you have the wrong Cat installed.

Hrmm I must have missed those, got myself some seat covers instead.

Take a jumper, no 2 !

Also, if you take the 2nd exit (Hume St) their is maccas + mobil on the right 200m up the road and bp ultimate on the left about 500m down the road which are the nearest servo's to the track. (WhereIs doesn't show the roads im talking about but they are there, promise)

Your local Repco will sell the right socket, they are about $10 ... I had to get 1 for my wheels (nfi where it is now tho)

If you want new your local decent exhaust shop should be able to get them for you, there are over a dozen models (muffler, not canon) to choose from. If you can't find any shops that sell them give Penrith City Exhausts a call on 02-47213838. I'm getting 2 fitted there on monday.

Typical..... Mona bagging up the tyres, Mark's R31 being pushed, 2rismo with his mysterious bonnet leak and BenM spectating. SAU just wouldn't be the same.....

But the most important thing..... is the bbq being fired up?

Where were you today whilst I was out standing in the rain at Eastern Creek?

Or... you can take the 2nd Goulburn Exit, turn left off it, then right, then another right and follow that for about 3-5km. I completely forgot this trackday was on... hrmmm

Forget about what is and isnt on sale.... John is their a bbq happening?

I would take 255/40/17 semi-slick tyres over regular street tyres any day they are practically the same price anyway.

My line arrived today in the post (I ordered it directly from Maltech, wasnt aware of this groupbuy). Great looking line and excellent service from Maltech.

..and our tax dollars would actually get used!

I use Castrol Formula-R 10w60 simply because it's what the previous owner was told to use by the tuner (Jim - CRD).

They are still being 'processed' taking heeeaps longer than the others (normally 30sec) so maybe check back in an hour or so if they still arent working tomorrow i'll re-upload them.

Wow I think their was more action in that clip then in the entire 2006 F1 season... Those guys must have nuts the size of soccer balls.

Yup well I dont know how many km's these tyres have done but I certainly want to get the problem fixed before throwing another set on at $400ea

I tried fitting an X-Force R32 GTS-t cat-back exhaust today to my GTR and I had the following problems: * Rear muffler sits at an angle and doesnt fit in the rear bar cut-out and the 2 brackets dont line up properly. * Rear elbow before rear canon doesnt bend enough so it sits very low and is squashed up against the fuel tank and the mounting bracket is in the wrong spot and the wrong way around. * It's about 20cm too long in the center where it connects to the back of the cat.

Here are some clips i've made from onboard footage of the race (nobody see's this footage as it's raw video with no commentary or race data) so if you have any requests lemme know (the footage chops and changes alot). Sorry about the quality, I dont have enough personal webspace and YouTube compresses the files heaps.

I missed the first 10mins but recorded the rest (35mins). It's a ~370mb divx file though....

Yup black crud is bad, you basically have to wash the rear bar every single time you drive the car otherwise the rear bar is destroyed.

Had my car up on a hoist today and took some pics. I have tein adjustable (height and damper I believe) coilovers and this is what my rear tyres look like. Is it bad wheel alignment etc or just this camber issue?
