  1. Mine doesn't have one either, I Iwould prefer they didn't put one on. All the ones I have seen put on imports and the one one my GTST are rubbish. And I would prefer the car get through the compliance with as little touched as possible. I have never used the ones on my previous cars anyway.
  2. I have replaced nearly everything there is to replace with adjustable stuff on the suspension on my 33 GTR and added a little more caster and sorted the camber front and rear. With 265s all round I have yet to experience any noticeable tramlining, it now drives nicer than any other car I have experienced. The mini tramlines heaps more with its big 165s all round!
  3. SWEET! I am there.
  4. I got the Nismo GT knob for the R but I got the black rubber type one, couldn't justify the metal one and I was a bit worried about the metal conducting a little heat anyway. The allen key at the top still get pretty warm on mine. Feels pretty good though once you get use to it.
  5. Hi all, I need to sleep, this whole getting up at 5:30am is not cool, 2 months off and I have gone all soft. I have decided I am not cut out for this work thing.
  6. :wassup:
  7. By August I will probably only have the GTR, so "unfortunately" I will have to take the GTR to the skidpan day. hehe
  8. The white widebody GTR getting around that people are refering to is completly different to the Nismo LM one pictured and nothing like the Kakimoto copies that Skyline Imports do. Although I parked my GTST beside the white one Ernie had at his shop for a while and it was huge! Made my GTST look like a little toy. Never got to see in person the red or yellow ones featured in HPI. The Skyline Import one that Ernie show me were very well put together, the pearl/white widebody GTR getting around looks a bit dodgy to me in comparison.
  9. Nah, clown is talking about a Black?? wide body gtst we saw at Milton maccas, its a kakimoto (sp?) widebody or a copy. Dunno what the pearl white GTR is. Not the prettiest looking thing around IMHO.
  10. I have seen it a few times around Indro, not the friendliest skyline driver around. It is a real GTR, but man that kit is huge.
  11. Congratulations on the job, should talk them into opening a Queensland branch, then you could have the best of both worlds.
  12. You know I will be good for it, like James (different circumstance though) I am pissed that I had to miss out last time. I will try not to injure myself one week before the event this time.
  13. Mine never leaves the car, even for track days (can't be bothered taking it out). And it has saved me twice so there is no way mine is coming out of the car.
  14. Mmmmm, so tired, must work.
  15. If I can jump start the GTR I will bring it otherwise it will be the GTST. Better get a new battery tomorrow now that I have a whole lot more spare time, no assignment till this time next week!!!
  16. Yeah I did a similar injury to the same ankle about 7 years ago now, but I don't think it was quite this severe, I can't remember having such a limited range of motion. Still sore after 3 months!!!!! NNNOOOOOOO!! I just read the due date for this assignment, June 11th!!!!. PFFFFTTTT! plenty of time, I shall be there! Could of sworn it was due the end of this week!
  17. Doing assignment now and icing ankle, might come out for a bit, its been a while.
  18. Its really starting to worry me to be honest. My range of movement has not increased and the pain outside the movement range is still severe. Its been 3 weeks! But everyone keeps telling me that a bad ankle sprain is worse than a broken ankle so it stands to reason I suppose.
  19. Afternoon all.
  20. I hear you on that one.
  21. Yeah, they are crap. The last one they gave me was a little 280CC battery, the minis battery is bigger. And look at all the electric garbage on a skyline. The last one I got for the GTST was about 440CC I think, it has been good so far. I just go in with dimensions now and say give me the strongest one that fits inside these parameters, I don't care what is listed for the car.
  22. Bye ***** Whipped
  23. Yeah, but its the inconvienence of it all. I am sick of these little toy batteries they try and fit to skylines too, they are a waste of space. I am going to fit the biggest mutha of a battery I can shoe horn in there. That will fix it.
  24. Hey, at least yours is going "for the moment", I can't even start mine!
  25. Its all too much for a sheltered, innocent little boy like Neil, thats all.
