  1. looking to get back into the car game in the next few months, so will start getting my ass out there once I find something Been a while. Decided against the bike as I liked the abilit to walk too much.
  2. seriously, take the time to do up a proper add with a price tag of 4k, and a decent add the car should sell in no time.
  3. Heh, had Kendrick on just as I drove home He was in Brisbane about two weeks ago
  4. The car will get driven once a fortnight at best. I don't need it to be comfortable, and am hoping to slowly develop it into something quiet quick on the track so I want to get rid of every excess kg I can. I am trying to find out what I legally have to leave in there to help me select what car to use. If I need to leave factory airbags in an s15 and there is no way around it with mod plates or maybe club rego, then I am better off using an s13 as a basis, as they did not come out with a lot of the newer stuff and just putting in a s14 or 15 rear cradle for the updated suspension. Clean s13's are harder and harder to find and would rather just start off with a newer car like an s15 or 14, especially since there is less and less of a gap in price between them. Stuff like demisters. Is there a way with getting around those, maybe with heated windshields etc. I was hoping someone on here may know before I go harassing my mechanic about it. I could just rip stuff out and hope for the best, but I don't want to be looking over my shoulder every time I drive past a cop or into an RBT station and want the car to be street legal.
  5. Hi, I thought I would see if I can get some advice on here before I start pouring cash into the black hole that is called car modifying. Some of you may have seen my previous car, which I recently sold off in parts. Link is bellow for those interested http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/388746-another-rb25-r32-thread/page__fromsearch__1 This car was my first foray into serious car modifying and was an absolute money pit. A lot of this spending could have been avoided as I did little work by myself and also did half assed upgrades, which then required re-upgrading etc. Also, I went about it the wrong way, in my opinion, which involved spending a lot of money on getting power out of it, and adding suspension, brakes, wheels that fit and tyres as an afterthought. So my plan now is to try and do things right from the beginning. What I am after ideally is a track specific car that is still registered. The registration is not for wank facor of street racing or anything similar, I just want the flexibility of being able to drive the car to wherever, whenever I wish. But, I also want the car to be street legal in QLD, which obviously makes things trickier. So the questions I do have are around what platform to start with, as the ultimate goal will be to strip the car of all unnecessary weight and try to make it go as fast as possible. What I would like to know are some of the finer points of what I can do. Such as what I am able to strip out. My plan was to look at an S chassis car, preferrably an s15, as I like the shape, they weigh in mid 1200kgs, and have a huge ammount of after market parts available. Furthermore, there are pretty decent examples going for around 15k. What I need to know is, what can I get rid of? Do I need to retain the factory airbags? Demister? Sun visors? Padded steering wheel? ETC My plan for the car once I get it is to strip it entirely, all carpets, plastics etc, and have a cage welded in. Buy coilovers and some adjustable arms, a radiator and have a go at getting some laptime under my belt from there. Several other options I have been thinking about is to start with an s13, but due to the age, money required to get 5 stud, s14 or 15 rear cradle etc, I though I am better off with a newer car. Another option I have been looking at are mx5's, as they are cheap and handle well, and even 1970's ford escorts, as I love the shape and have seen a few cars go for reasonable money. Suggestions, feedback is appreciated. I am ideally looking to get something somewhere between March and July as no performance car at this stage is killing me and I have decided not to get a bike as I like my legs too much. Am overseas for two months before that, hence waiting until then. Heading to Vegas so keeping my spending money for thats, so I can double it. Or at least spend it on hookers.
  6. 5% off the sale price? So if I sell a $20000 car, I have to pay you $1000? Shit site is shit. Better off advertising it on here and gumtree for free and on carsales for $50 Hope you didn't spend all your savings on this awesome idea

  21. Not sure where you muppets are getting your figures from The only way I can see is if you are replying that they will sit out on a GTST or GTT, but as the topic clearly states GTR offset and size, and EAT26 has a gtr in his avatar, him asking how flush they would sit, he would have been referring to a GTR. 18x10 +20 on a GTR
  22. Happy birthday Martin. Surprised no German Club invite was created. Surprised and disappointed.
