Spotted a yellow lamborghini gallardo going up the kinglake twisties, he was following 3 white GTRs. I was going the other way, he gave it a squirt and it sounded insane.

You must factor in the cost of things that WILL go wrong on a 15+ year old GTR. I wouldn't blow all the cash you borrow on just the car i would make sure i had some left over for any unfortunate things to happen.

Amen to that Roy, hope the times are a true reflection of how quick the car will be this year (+ some good reliability)

hahaha kyle!!! my old car was destroyed the same way as yours mate, turning party did not give way. Damage also looks identicle to what happened to me, glad everyone is ok. Hopefully you get a good payout.

Surely you would have noticed that you were always travelling faster than other cars.. 5ks over is quite a noticeable difference when your driving in a set speed zone.

im smashing beers as we speak... and heading out for a massive one with all my mates. Happy Oz day!

haha you guys are dickheads, may as well close this thread as its turned to dribble

Well same would go for skylines.... there are plenty of tossers who drive them like complete wankers, so why don’t you hate them? Scumbags are everywhere driving every car, sure you get a lot of bogans driving Holdens but it’s probably because they grew up with Holdens around them. Being an aussie built car and having a large number of cars on the road due to their popularity, you are going to get a lot of Holden drivers. If Nissan sold as many skylines domestically as Holden did, i'm sure the tables would turn and everyone would hate skylines as much as some people hate Holdens (and Fords for that matter). You probably get the exact same 'ratio' of scum driving skylines, but obviously on much lesser scale. There are probably a million more Holdens on the road... so if 1 in 10 drivers are scum, Holden would have 100,000 scum drivers (out of a million) where as skylines probably have 2000 drivers (out of 20,000). That would be why it 'seems' there are so many wankers driving Holdens.

haha these threads shit me... why all the hatred? Its not that the car 'sucks', it is just a car that is not up to the quality of japanese and european manufacturers. The car is still of decent build quality though. I think they have done a decent job considering the market is only really 20 million in AUS (market is increasing slightly overseas). What do you expect from a company that does not have the same amount of resources and money to spend on developing a world class car...

Hey mate, i duggest you do some research on the car/model... sounds like you have done very little. Knowing about the different models and characteristics will help you determine what prices etc you should be looking at

1 billion...

This is what i provided customs with, i did not have to get the car de-gassed and no questions were asked.

no longer applies

Dont think ill be doing much driving... mainly just drinking. But ill prob be down that way a little.

no way, go for sure!! Im going to be down at my beach house in blairgowrie, although may head down to Sorrento or Portsea.

not sure mate as I have never tried them out... From what i was told from a few places they are 'ok' for the price. Im sure you could get better tyres out there for the money. What size are you after?

The tread pattern of the ones i saw were ok... they are similar in quality to the nankangs i was told. They are on the cheaper side of tyres when your chasing big sizes.

any update on results? cheers.

I know a friend (he also knew another person) which had the EXACT same 'story' told to him! How they are able to continue to do that is beyond me.

anyone else?

Here are some pics of what im talking about. You can see where the dump pipe has burnt through the heat protection foil stuff.

Does anyone have the hose that goes from the firwall to the aircon compressor? Its next to the turbo and is wrapped in heat protection foil type stuff. thanks, Mark.
