  1. Yeah, but its the quickest Japanese bug around the Nurburgring.
  2. They don't indicate, they won't wave....I wonder what it is M3 drivers do with their left hand?
  3. Any V8, huh? Ferrari F430? Audi R8? Corvette Z06?
  4. Yeah, when my mates have sold cars privately they've met at a neutral location (usually a carpark with CCTV) and they've brought me and some other mates along. Its a sad state of affairs when something as basic as selling a car requires backup.
  5. Birfdee!
  6. I'd go to a PFC with exhaust and FMIC. I'd only use a SAFC if I only had one of the two mods, and I had no intention of doing anything more to the powertrain than that. A SAFC is something you do if you plan on keeping the car practically stock but you don't like your rear bar covered in carbon. Like ryan said, its just a band-aid solution.
  7. Dealerships must be laughing. If someone goes in for a new car and they offer an insultingly low trade-in value, they can at least say that its better than getting tasered and shot, or bashed (as that Integra Type-R owner did in Chipping Norton a while back).
  8. I beg to differ. Given the attitude that cops have towards the drivers of certain cars, and the special attention that they give to those cars regardless of if they're doing anything actually wrong, it would appear that the police feel that blanket statements and attitudes based on the visible minority covered by overhyped media coverage seem to be perfectly applicable. Its the police force's job to catch criminals. If making blanket judgements based on tenuous evidence in tabloid media is good enough for people with the ability to restrict the freedoms of the populace, then surely its good enough for everyone else when determining their competence.
  9. Learn to drive. Tuning the nut loose behind the wheel doesn't have to cost that much, and will carry over to every car you ever drive.
  10. Latest news. One of the Commodore-driving street racers was found dead The other Commodore-driving street racer has pleaded guilty to manslaughter. I hope this brings some closure to the families that lost loved ones.
  11. For a matter of perspective, the next time you wonder about the traffic infringement you get either in person or in the mail have a read of this news article: While they're not bringing rapists to justice, its heartening to know that the cops are fining people for the far more heinous crime of not stopping at a stop sign. Cheers, guys.
  12. One of the previous owners is one of the mods on Silvia NSW, and the car has had a rough life. It spent quite a bit of time doing this: and not always on wet concrete.
  13. I know about the SIL80T, and I know what its been through. Not sure who Luke is, but I know about one of the previous owners.
  14. Talk to their manager and get it squared away first, or otherwise with time passing they'll just deny it and you'll have to go to court. I would have had it out with them then and there, if they broke my car that badly.
  15. From Wiki: Trickle charging, also called float charging, means charging a battery at a similar rate as it is self-discharging, thus maintaining a full capacity battery. So basically, yeah. Autospeed even has an article on how to make a trickle charger out of spare parts you might have lying around the house. I only drive my car on the weekends, but due to all the stupid alarms and gizmos in the car it drains my battery out in about 3-4 days. This means if I don't fill my car up on a Tuesday, it won't start on Saturday after I parked it up on Sunday night. I can't use a trickle charger as I live in an apartment and I don't have mains power near where I park my car. When I do drive my car, I'll drive it for around half an hour to ensure the battery is fully charged by the time I stop. I picked up a Jumpstarter from Supercheap, that plugs into mains power to
  16. I quite like it, but then compared to most modern BMWs its not hideous so it could just be relativity.
  17. If you have the coin to spare, there's a trader on JDM Style Tuning using the nick "thetunersgroup" who is the official importer for HRE Wheels. They come in a similar style to what Kari wanted in his original post, and they're very high quality. Kari - I'd also suggest gettin 9.5" wide front rims for more phatness in the dish, unless you can get those 8.5" rims in a custom offset.
  18. Speaking of Time Attacks, these are V35 coupe offsets too: http://www.350z-tech.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39487
  19. Is your car in a lock up garage? Take the battery out of the car and/or leave it on a trickle charger. I have a mate who just leaves a trickle charger attached to the mains and the ultra-small battery sitting in the car, so on the rare occasions when he drives it he just unplugs the trickle charger and off he goes.
  20. Tell me you got them in this colour scheme:
  21. Based on exterior appearance only, with no other considerations? Series 8 RX-7. 9/10. Just a gorgeously flowing design, with everything in proportion, that hasn't dated at all. I like how most of the replies in here start talking about modified cars or their performance, to completely not-respond to the original post.
  22. I can't think of a better reason to buy an R34 than "NS.com told me not to". That said, if I was facing your choice I'd get the S15. I don't like the sound of the SR compared to the RB, but it is a lighter and more nimble car. At your height, however, the bigger car might be more comfortable.
  23. Tell him to not fill the tank up if he knows he's not going to use it all, then. Those triggers on the pump aren't there just to work your hand out for a better grip while masturbating - if you let them go then fuel stops flowing. Tell him to go buy a jerry can. When he plans on driving the car he can take his daily down to the petrol station, fill that up, and pour it into the Stupra. 20L should give him enough range for what he wants to do if he only uses a tank every 2 months, or at least enough petrol to drive it to a petrol station to fill it up if he plans on burning through more.
  24. HKS has released their GT570 tuning kit for the R35, and it looks like your typical Stage 1 kit. # HKS aluminium hard pipe kit # HKS silicon hose joiners # HKS wastegate actuators for the standard R35 GT-R turbos # HKS Electronic Valve Control (EVC) boost controller # HKS dump and front pipes (removes catalytic converters) It looks pretty sweet.

  25. Should be in.
