Bullet32

PAID!... Finally.

PM sent.

Dont pretend that you dont like starting arguments James

Have you put any thought into your suspension? No offence intended at all, but I have been using 595's for about 2 years now and my R32 GTST has 240rwkw and over 500nm of torque and I find the 595's to be excellent for traction in the dry and quite predictable in the wet. I have a set of TEIN coilovers and camber and castor have been set up for track use though so I am getting the best out of the tyres. I have used many different brands aswell so Im not being a hypocrite. If your shocks arent in the best condition or you have worn out bushes it can seriously affect the way your car grips under power. Just something to think about

C'mon Stevo, this is crap... I dont want a refund I want a trophie! I'll be happy to settle for one of Paul's though

You shouldnt need to engineer the car, the only real reasons that you need engineering are: * Engine swap. * Brakes modified or changed. * Suspension replaced by adjustable aftermarket parts and/or coilovers. * Aftermarket ECU running the engine or air fuel controller (anything that changes the AFR's will need an EPA test aswell). * Aftermarket turbocharger or supercharger installed. Pod filters only need engineering in NSW, in the ACT as long as it is mounted correctly it should pass a normal rego inspection. Good friendly mechanic - Trojan Motorsport in Mitchell, ESP racing in Queanbeyan are a good start if you have an import or performance car (epsecially a Nissan). I hope this helps

Ooooh is that a promise Michele?

Where was my phone call Paul?

You dont need to aknowledge it... The people who were there and know what Im talking about will have a quiet little chuckle to themselves when they read it

LOL, If its anything like Final Battle last year, it wont be the only thing you will be touching Stevo You know what I mean (I had to say it before Paul did).

Hey Paul, Can you give me a call on my mobile before everyone meets up so I know where to go, I wont be anywhere near a computer on Friday. Cheers.

Its actually closer to 240rwkw, get your fact straight Mark geeezz! I'll make you a deal - if you go, I'll go... Id love to put down a 12 second pass (hopefully).

You went to bed at Final Battle didnt you? Even if it was at 6:00am LOL, youre right I have a missus called Paul, (thats my pet name for her) guess who plays the male role in the relationship

WHAT!!!!???? Are you sure you want to do this Mark? You might have to rev it over 4,500 rpm

You know that I will be there with the missus Paul, Jayce and Erica will come too Im sure... Dont ask me to go to the dawn service though... Even though I am forever greatful for the life that all Aussie's live thanks to our diggers sacrifices, I am NOT a morning person and you dont want to know me that early in the morning. There is a great spot in Kingston where you can get excellent coffee and breakfast its called Green Square, we should meet there.

Oh great, I cant wait to hear how much Paul will brag about it when they come here for ANZAC weekend (Im secretly insanely jealous)... Although you have to be pretty proud being the only low mount GTR owner in the world to break 500rwkw without gas... Much respect

I dont know... It could be. Did it have huge gold wheels and massive brakes? - If not, then its not RH9 Attached - very bad photo of RH9 Autosalon Final Battle 2007.

Come on Jayce, dont keep us all in suspense...

Oh my god Leshy! Where have you been?

RH9 isnt midnight purple, its got a camelion paint job (Im not sure what the exact name is) and I dont think that John drives it on the street very often... But I think I have seen the one that youre refering to also.

Im in, Ive filled in the form but I will have to wait a couple of days before I can pay, I hope thats ok.

lap!

This is a good point... "DOT" (Department of Transport) is American, this is the industry standard for tyres in the USA... If a tyre has been developed for sale in America and has been approved by DOT then it is legal for U.S roads. You may also see "E-MARK" on a tyre sidewall, this is the equivalent of DOT in Europe. "ADR" (Australian Design Rule) is obviously Australian, however ADR's do not apply to aftermarket tyres sold in Australia, there is no industry standard or method of pre-sale testing here, therefore as long as a tyre that is sold in Australia complies to the load and speed index recommended by the vehicle manufacturer it can be used legally on our roads. The reason that DOT and UTQG are so important is so that you know that the tyre you are buying has been both US Government and independantly tested and approved for American roads, this gives you the best indication as to whether you are buying a quality tyre or not. If you have bought a tyre that does not have DOT, UTQG or E-MARK printed on the sidewall then you know that it cannot be sold for legal road use in the USA and possibly even Europe. Overall youre best off sticking to tyres that have a DOT and UTQG rating.

I spose youre right we had a couple in the top ten last year (myself included)... Im keen as mustard this year Im going for fastest R32 Gtst, not fastest R32 (although that would be nice).

LOL, just so that you know for future reference, all turbo charged Skylines have wastegates, I think you mean that it sounded as though it had an external wastegate. The flutter that you heard doesnt come from the wastegate either, its called inlet reversion and it is the unused gas in the inlet being forced back through the turbo and out through a pod filter when the throttle closes, this is usually caused by an aftermarket blow off valve being adjusted to tight and not allowing enough gas to escape before it returns to the turbo. It may sound cool but its not really that good for the turbo, especially if it is a stock one. Now you know
