Kinks

Get better wax. Love it when it rains on a fresh wax job, I hit 50km/h and the water beads and runs off and I have a practically dry car

you can get minispool centres, not sure where from but I've heard of people who have them. welding, if done right, can be just as strong and cheaper but a minispool centre isn't that pricey. poor grip (especially in the wet) and terrible handling (bad understeer off-throttle, lots of oversteer on-throttle) are two reasons to avoid locked diffs, aside from the legal reasons of course. however, on the track they are great fun for cutting it sideways

Interesting. I had GIII's on the front of my R31 and thought the grip was quite good. However, I had Falken 326's on the rear and a locked diff so I guess it's all relative :laughing-smiley-014:

fake odometer - quite possible. A thorough inspection will tell you whether the car's condition is consistent with the odo reading. 3 month warranty - this is all the dealer is legally required to supply. sometimes they do an extended warranty, if they are confident the car is in great nick. nrma check - definitely. i found a state roads inspection to be even better (5 page written report, very good). dealer vs private - not a huge difference, dealer usually has more interest in keeping a good rep because they want to sell lots more cars. but i certainly wouldn't trust either, get an independent inspection as an absolute priority in either case.

R32 GTR 911 Turbo / GT3 / GT2 yum.

oran park, shell corner, sliding the tail out until I'm on full lock and just dancing on the throttle to keep it there the next corner is great too, you get halfway into it and the car flicks out really hard on its own and then it's easy to hold it sideways. good times..

The newer fans are much better designed. my redtop RB20 used to howl like an old falcadore when the clutch fan kicked in. when my RB25 locks up it sounds more like rushing air than howling fan so the blade design has been significantly improved. on the plus side, they both work.

shit.

wat

I ran my RB20 for over 3 years with no BOV. And the previous owner ran it like that as well, it was boosted for most of its life and handled backing off at 1 bar just fine. Chuffed like a mofo, and sounded great. Got bored with the turbo and replaced it with an R33 S2 one, and continued running without a BOV. It was fine as well. NO BOV = NO WORRIES. Anyone who tells you your turbo will blow up has been brainwashed by the "your car needs an aftermarket BOV for better performance (and more money in my hip pocket peddling junk to idiots)" brigade.

turbos are parasitic too, they cause backpressure in the exhaust which the engine has to push against. however, they are still more efficient than a supercharger under most circumstances.

rec'd today, looks nice!

I'm not a fan of DBA rotors.. RDA for me.

maybe that's what the secondary bonnet restraint is for

1/4" from memory nissan spare parts stock them, just grab a handful at once and you're set for the next few years. you don't have to change the washer every time, just when it gets squished..

they sound impressive, last time I had QFM's was on my charade - they were great, but with only 61kw at the front wheels and 950kg that's not saying much!!

Couldn't have put it better myself. The moment you lose your cool and start being a cockhead, the cop has even more reason to ping you. If I was trying to do my job and a customer started giving me lip I would make their life miserable too. Granted you get some bad eggs, it's an unfortunate fact of life. Most of the cops I have encountered have been quite fair.

I went down saturday morning with some friends, saw a black commode fly past us followed by a couple of P platers.. we were doing 120 so they must have been doing at least 150. Not even 20 seconds later my friend backs off because he just went past a cop sitting in a breakdown bay, cop eventually turns his lights on and comes onto the road, hangs back a bit.... then absolutely nailed it past us. Few clicks down the road and he's pulled over one P plater, then a bit further on we saw another cop had pulled over the second P plater, then we saw a 3rd cop who was booking someone in a commodore (another P plater, not the first one we saw flying.. probably got him for poor taste as his car had altezzas). it was brilliant. you've gotta have rocks in your head to speed on the way to the nats. They all got done for being complete fwits. Australia has no entrapment laws, as has already been posted. I get annoyed every time someone uses that word because it shows total ignorance for our laws. We are not America. After making a comment like that I don't think you deserved to see any. The nats is probably the only place where you can see a free bit of tit, and it's also the only place where a girl can get an ego boost because pretty much anything will be cheered. Hell, a guy cruised past in a motorised wheelchair and the crowd went nuts. I love it, it's just great entertainment even though I've seen some very ordinary sets at times. You take the good with the bad (and this year the best set belonged to a woman who must have been in her 40's... respect!). When they ask you to take it off the trailer and you do, then it can be argued you have intent to drive it because now it's on the road. If it's on the trailer it could be broken - plenty of registered cars have been put on tow trucks because something happened that made it temporarily unroadworthy. Should you call the RTA and cancel your rego then get it towed and fixed then re-instate the rego? That would be a joke. If you're really worried about it just take your number plates off when it's being towed, and say it's unregistered.

what if you inhale the NO2?

You're really only talking about the flange size here, the 3" cat and 3.5" cat might be the exact same body just with different flanges welded on.

either take it to a panelbeater or get a full vehicle inspection by state roads (http://www.stateroads.com.au/). A panelbeater will hopefully have a paint thickness gauge so they can tell which panels (if any) have been resprayed to cover previous damage. A state roads inspection is a 5 page written report and they will pick up almost everything. the only way to know for sure is to get an expert to look at it.

ouch. altho doing 15k over during DD is a little silly, i have seen cops hiding in dodgy spots (bottom of steep hills etc) just waiting for you to drift over the limit. that's pretty slack, IMO. they should only catch you on the flats.

should have whipped it out at the lights and showed her how wrong she was!

PM me the name, I'm curious.

I'm in for a set too, thanks
