Bullet32

From a Skyline GTS4 to a Skyline GTR to an Open wheel formula Holden... *cough* Money - The ultimate substitute for talent *cough*cough*

Im certainly not an electronics expert so this may seem like a dumb question, but... How would someone get the diodes replaced if they needed to?

Ok so my DVD player recently decided that it wouldnt read any DVD's anymore, Im pretty sure its because it is about 3 or 4 years old now and the laser has crapped itself. I hear that DVD players, CD players etc have a life of about 4 to 5 years (depending on how often you use them) because the laser eventually degrades to the point where it wont read anymore. Firstly - Is this true? Secondly - If I use my PS3 as my DVD player aswell as for playing games will it decrease the laser life significantly (I do watch a fair amount of DVD's) or am I being paranoid?

Youre right Michele, you will always be more of a man than I am...

205/50R15, 205/50R16 and 215/45R17 595RS-R now available!

Joizus!! - $10,000 for that car is CHEAP!! Youre mad Andrew

Nice, send me a PM when you get them and I'll send you out a 595RS promo pack.

Shoot the bunny Beau, become a MAN!! --->

Thanks for the long winded but very informative explanation Shell... Are you convinced now Beau?

ggelong - Im guessing that means Gungahlin? I wouldnt look for Jap parts at any wrecker in or around the ACT, your best bet is to order overnight from Sydney, start with Just Jap.

Are you a vegetarian, vegan or just plain soft Beau? lol

Its not a tear... Refer previous posts. If you are concerned about it, take it back to the shop where you bought it and show them... If they cant help, call the wholesale distributor directly and explain it. You may be able to get a manufacturers warranty - No promises though, I dont know what Bridgestone's policies are.

Grand Theft Auto IV - ROCKS MY WORLD!!! I just thought Id share

Thats probably Viet... (I think thats how you spell his name)... He's the big asian fella that was at Marques in the Park and Shannons Wheels car show with us.

Yes it is true, he bought a black R32 Gtst from Sydney because he wants to race it... I sold 4 Federal's to Jax Fyshwick for the very same car yesterday.

Thanks, I always wanted (since I was about 13) to have an R32 with Nismo 400R style stripes... And now I do. I think your lights are ok, my car is just much lower than "normal" traffic so its probably just the angle that I was on. You'll take any chance you can get to mention the bloody Franjipani's!!! Youre a mean woman...

I bought it in Sydney from a private seller, I dont know if he was the first owner in Aus though... It was stock standard when I got it except for the GTR bumper, grille and bonnet lip, cat back exhaust and Volk wheels.

Yes I do have proof actually, it happened to my R31 a couple of years ago... It conked out on the way to work and after I towed it to work and pulled the fuel tank and pump out (worked as a mechanic at the time - handy) the pump was covered in the same brown slime that was sitting in the bottom of the tank. It wasnt rust either, the tank was spotless after I drained and cleaned it. The fuel filter is after the pump not before it, the pump is exposed to whatever goes into your tank. The filter is there to stop whatever gets through the pump and lines from getting into the fuel rail and causing a blockage. You would be very surprised at what is in most people's fuel tanks, especially if they use crap quality fuel... Even the best fuel stations can get contaminated fuel reserves, if the truck that transported it wasnt cleaned properly or the huge underground tanks are contaminated it all ends up going into some poor bastards car eventually.

You should never run your tank under a quarter full, all pump fuel has sediment which sinks to the bottom of your tank and sits there contaminating the last few litres. If you run the tank below 1/4 to may times you can clog and even damage the fuel pump. Just some advice

Most tyre retailers wouldnt see this issue very often as it is not all that common in well made UHP tyres, of course Bridgestone are quite well known for their high quality standards. You are best off sending the photos in an e-mail to the importer / distributor who can then contact Bridgestone, they might be able to offer a manufacturers warranty ( I know we normally would ). But as it is almost impossible to tell whether the tyres have been used in a motorsport application you may not get anything back. Like I said, you will probably be able to run the tyres right down to the casing without them delaminating, as the actual tread join would still be intact, but the choice is yours.

DOOF - Where the hell are our trophies?? I know its not your fault but 6 months wait is pretty pathetic.

Sunday 9 a.m in winter!!?? Are you mad? I might see if I can come and say hi a bit later (10-11)...

You will be dissapointed with an N/A GT25 R34, they are gutless... Youre better off waiting and getting a turbo when youre off your P's. I recommend getting an AE86 Corrolla and going nuts on it - Awesome cars.
