  1. Fkn fantastic, the government has found another way to screw the motorist out of our hard earned cash
  2. I think that "the best" is a matter of opinion.
  3. Im sure that Croydon are good at what they do but they're in Sydney and tuning in Sydney is much different to tuning in Canberra, we're 700m higher in altitude than Sydney and oxygen levels here are different so why wouldnt you get it tuned here by someone perfectly capable of doing it?
  4. Did you speak with Michael? - About 27 - 28 yo, blonde hair, a bit stocky. Good luck beating me with your stock RB20 Gus - We'll get out to Wakefield soon and see who beats who. Ask Luke about his new diff, he will tell you everything he knows.
  5. +1 for ESP... Trojan Motorsports know their stuff too
  6. I want one
  7. Are you planning on racing? -- If you are then go for the adjustable one. -- If not, the standard one will be fine for the street. You have to remember that Mechanical LSD's require a lot more maintenance than regular diffs, so the life of your new Nismo LSD depends heavily on how well you treat it.
  8. Spotted this Ferrari on the way out to the Skid pan on Saturday... I love Ferrari's - SO HOT (Note the badge).
  9. Buy on the net Gus, you wont find a better price locally. By the way, you will be much happier with a Nismo 1.5 Lsd over a Kaaz, they're much more street friendly and are much smoother to drive... Its worth spending the extra cash.
  10. One day I'll snap and turn up to the next dyno day with a shotgun Michele... *go to my happy place, go to my happy place, go to my happy place!*
  11. I think that for this year we should organise ourselves into groups according model eg: R30 (and earlier), R31, R32, R33, R34 etc.
  12. I should be able to arrange the tent.
  13. Aaaw come on Michele, I dont bite (much)... Welcome all new Skyline owners! We're going to need to organise a get together soon so that we can all get to know each other again
  14. Never mind...
  15. The bonnet looks awesome! I dont know about the roof though, replacing your roof is a huge job... I would get a few more opinions before going down that path.
  16. Why dont we just arrange to meet at City Custom Exhaust instead of the Museum? Come on people, we can get a better showing than just me, Bluprint, Frink and Stinkypoo!
  17. White R33 Gtst with a 400R front bar, GTR wing and black wheels parked on the road island out the front of Mawson shops about 7:10pm last night... Cops were everywhere. I hope nothing bad happend
  18. Best case scenario - you have a boost leak somewhere, check all of your silicone joiners, hose clamps and vaccum hoses on the intercooler system. Tighten them all and make sure that they are all sealing perfectly. Worst case scenario - your turbo is on the way out. When a turbo squeals on boost it usually means that the compressor fan is damaged. Example:
  19. Youre not getting old Paul, youre just boring
  20. If I didnt have a blown turbo I would so buy these
  21. Some good points there Ben This is a great thread for people looking to purchase a Skyline, perhaps it should be a sticky for new members to refer to when they need advice on what to look for in a future purchase... Shell?
  22. Mooseheads sucks... Unless you like waiting 20 minutes to order a drink, being surrounded by teenie sl_ts, getting in a fight with a bunch of 18 - 19 year old wankers who have something to prove, then getting home and having to wash the soles of your shoes because you made the mistake of wading through the inch deep lake of urin in the mens toilets.
  23. Hi Craig, There are a few good questions to ask and some pretty obvious things to look out for. 1. Ask when the 100k service was done and if they have reciepts for it. 2. All too often owners dont know whether it has or has not been done so a good indicator is to listen for a rattle, hum or rythmic knock from the timing cover on the front of the motor (sometimes a new timing belt can hum a bit if it has been over tightened). 3. Always drive the car so that you can feel how the shocks, brakes and steering feel... Usually if the steering feels heavy or very loose it can indicate that the HICAS (4 wheel steer) is on the way out or dead completely. 4. Skyline engines (especially) RB25's are very prone to dropping coilpacks, make sure that you listen carefully to the engine when it is hot for a miss - this could be a dead coilpack (they're not cheap to replace). 5. When driving the car, listen carefully for a squeal or high pitched whine when the engine comes on boost, the standard turbos tend to become tired and worn out if they have been boosted over standard pressure and they squeal when damaged. 6. The general condition of the cars interior is a good indicator of how it has been looked after, if the seats, dash, console, carpet etc are badly damaged and/or really dirty it usually indicates that the owner has not cared for the car very well at all. 7. The owners general knowledge of Skylines is usually a good indicator of whether they have a real interest and passion for the car... If they dont know what HICAS means, or what type of oil to use that usually means they arent really an enthusiast. I think thats about it... I cant think of anything else at the moment I hope this helps.
  24. Thats not really fair... The event was held on our doorstep, about seven of us took part and we are expected to drive all the way to Sydney to get a DVD of it? It cant be that hard to put a bunch of them in the mail so that we can distribute them for ourselves. C'mon Steve, play nice.
