  1. i personally wouldnt go past a 225, 235 would be the limit tho.
  2. what u are talking about is actually called pressure casting, not forging. forging is exactly that, pressing and forging solid billet alloy. The alloy is often heated up to soften it, and even in some instances to almost a molten form (Semi-Solid Forging patented by SSR) to make it easier to forge. Casting under high pressure can create good results, but it still isnt forging, low pressure casting is used in most cases, especially OE, so id imagine it is what is used for the GTS-t wheels. Obviously then there is gravity casting, u really want to stay away from this at all costs lol. Generally forging is only used for the disk, the rim is usually "flow formed" or "rolled" which is where they heat up the barrel(rim), spin and press the shape. and yeh, then obviously there is the CNC machining to finish it off.
  3. bahahaha anyways, even though im from SA ive heard good things about these blokes so get behind them.
  4. so whos moving to QLD with me? lol
  5. we can only hope this will be enforced some where down the track. whats the cost involved in getting shit engineered for that though? if its anything like it is here in SA ud probably look at quite a few k just to get a lightly modified car engineered.
  6. it was just some cylinder foam, got it from clark rubber, cut it to size and slipped it over the shock body, the guy at regency was pretty cluey and thorough, he didnt have a issue with the suspension, had a laugh at cops and how they should stick to doing their job lol as it was an officer who had defected me for it saying "it was too hard". im not 100% sure if circlip height adjustment is illegal, but i wasnt going to chance it, pretty sure its really only the thread adjustable coilovers which are the issue.
  7. nothing wrong with coilovers, otherwise stock skylines wouldnt be legal. the adjustability is the issue, my bilstein shocks and king springs passed regency, i just put a sleeve over the circlip grooves which allowed height adjustment.
  8. that cheeky mother f**ker! what do they think they are doing with this?
  9. the GTR uses a 4.5ltr V8 developed for the 350z in the 2007 season.
  10. yeh im getting heaps of different readings, mainly the coupe changing, between 4530 and 4550, owell, doesnt really matter.
  11. can u just return it to normal until u guys figure out what ur doing?
  12. cant u just keep a log of the edited post, only visible to admins/mods? i just went through a article i read and noticed a few slip ups in it which are wrong, this wasnt even in the for sale section and i wasnt able to edit it. it says i am still able to delete my posts below, but not edit them either.
  13. u could just as easily say it was the spectators fault for lining up on a road where they know what he was about to do. it was a messy situation, everyone had a role in the events that took place, but really it is the responsibility of the organiser to provide the best safety for both spectators and drivers, they did not, they should be held accountable.
  14. +1, i wanna put one in my mums camry.
  15. haha yes!! make those JZ boys cry!
  16. although it sounds like just a sealing issue with the split, would be worth making sure the wastegate isnt leaking itself.

    Custom Rims

    not sure how u could do it with 2pce wheels (which are a lot more common than 3pce), most 2pce wheels mean the disk and the barrel are 2 separate pieces, the barrel itself is 1 piece, so without a cut and shut job, cant see how thats possible.
  18. i did, but thats what it came up with
  19. sorry i cant really help, but just wondering if this R33 wreck is open for other people to buy some parts etc? im in SA so could be handy.
  20. anyone got an idea?
  21. downloading now i dunno if im doing it right, i had to go to downloads on that site, now im downloading them manually, so far ive got A1, gonna check it out now.
  22. Hey, just wondering if anyone has a copy of FAST i could grab off them, obviously i will replace the CD's or DVD's it takes to burn a copy. If u can help me out just chuck me a PM or reply in here. cheers!
