I am out, I tore a muscle in my neck this morning and am in no condition to drive, I can only look left! Have a good night. Let me know any interesting info about the club please. Cheers Jason

Happy Bday Steve!

I am still good, didn't even notice the price for the C/F one was left out in the second "re-post" thread. Shows how much attention I pay.

I agree, I recently picked up a set of APEXi T-MAX coilovers for my GTR which comes out of compliance soon, and ever since have been getting cold feet after doing lots of research and discovering that Jap coilovers in Oz are considered quite bad. Nothing like a bit of hindsight after a rush of blood purchase. The springs on them at the moment look very agressive, most people I have shown refer to them as "drift spec" springs. I have bilstein shocks on my GTST at the moment and have to agree that they are the best I have tried so far, great handling yet somehow quite comfortable too. I was going to sell the coilovers, and get a set of whiteline springs/shocks or even wait for the new whiteline group 4 coilovers which should be released in a couple of months, but I am going to try something different. Went here yesterday: http://www.shockreco.com.au/, and am going to try something a little different, just to see if it will work. First am getting the shocks checked out, make sure they are in as good a condition as they look, if they are good, then I am getting a set of King Springs to suit the coilover size, new bump stops and dust covers. When all back together he is going to put test them again for me to ensure the shocks are a close match for the springs. If so, I should have a damper and height adjustable coilover with an acceptable ride for about the same cost (+$50) as new set of springs and shocks. If they are a terrible match then they will have to be re-valved which will blow out the cost a little but will still end up a lot cheaper than an equivilent set of new coilovers. I am keen to "feel" the results, might be an option if your car already has coilovers you can't live with for day to day driving. If it doesn't work, I will have a little cry, and get the Whiteline spring/shock combo like I should have at the start! Pics of the coilovers as they are now.

Vented but not slotted.

When I did the mini recently I got a tilt tray to take the vehicle to the workshop for the roadworthy, I knew it needed some work so it would be their for a while. Then when the roadworthy had been completed ran off to the nearest Suncorp and paid my CTP. This allows you to drive from the workshop to your nearest Transport Department where you can fill out the necessary forms, they inspect the car (although they didn't do mine last time, I think cause it was previously registered in my name they couldn't be bothered checking it again?) they give you plates and a receipt, off you go. Or same as EVO83 said!

Just saw a Balck R34 GTR V-spec II on the riverside expressway, No. plate RF 1. Very cool.

Anyone? Seems a shame to throw them away.

I have to get up at 5:30am for work the next day but Thursday is still more suitable for most of the above reasons already stated. That way it doesn't clash with other weekend events and should keep the numbers consistant.

Don't you hate it when you go to bed thinking you are tired, then just proceed to lie there. I am bored and want to go to sleep.

It is actually raining here at the moment!

Yeah, I would like to know what rear wing is on Melv's car, never seen anything like it before, very cool. His front bar is just a normal GTR but I am pretty sure the lower lip on the front bar is aftermarket aswell, Looks a bit like a Du-Luck lower lip???

You can cout me in, as long as nothing serious happens between now and then. Could be the first cruise for my new toy, cool.

Just got the two tyres, one is at 30% the other 60% tread, even wear. If you just need a couple of tyres to get you by, or you need a big couple of tyres for the next drift meet, these will do it. $100

Bump!

I gave Adrenalin a call yesterday afternoon and it "should" be ready for me to pickup this Friday or sometime the week after that depending how long it takes for the plate to be sent out, all the work on the car has been completed and approved just waiting on the plate now. Its getting a little exciting!

I believe I will be in for this one again.............at this stage..........maybe.

Nice work again.

The route sounds good! Just not sure whether I am up for a run like that this week, feeling a little tight at the moment, hence the frequent sightings of me in the mini. Haven't driven the skyline at all for 2 weeks!

I should be out, as long as I don't get that lazy feeling which I have been good at lately.

The secret is out, can't wait to see the results. The power should be awesome. It will be a challege to get it to the ground.

I am a definate, as per email last night Model: 33 GTR series 3 1 Carbon Fibre lower lip please!

Steve, Had to let slip know by 3:30pm Friday to go on that one. Where have you been hiding lately?

CES are very good, the only complaint I have heard of is the price, but as the old saying goes "you get what you pay for". And I think in this case from what I heard its true. Dunno about there power increases though, 200 rwkw could be achieved with their list plus a decent intercooler and aftermarket ECU (powerFC). 200 rwkw without even a SAFC seems a little far fetched to me, I am pretty sure around the 200rwkw mark is limit for standard turbos anyway, give or take a few. Depends on the condition of your engine also, so many variables!

Just crawled out of bed myself. I did get up at eight though, didn't bother going to work today cause of the impending weather, so got up went to gym, came home and went back too sleep. Only got woken up by a delivery guy, he had my nismo clear indicators for the GTR. If only all days could be like this.
