Jarrad - getting an R32 with less than 100,000kms on it may be more than just a little optimistic. Have a look at Rasclaat's (spelling?) which is in the for sale section.

Go the Initial D box set if you can. The whole series over 4 dvd's with either english dub or subtitles. Also complete with crappy yet somehow cool background music.

51jay is correct. The rubber thingy is the cover for the hole that you use to adjust the handbrake through. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if you let off the handbrake, pull off the caliper and give the disc a gentle tap it should come off and you can retrieve your plug..

Checkout the Nissan dealer in Wangara. Last time I was in there he had a Nismo catalogue showing all the good parts for skylines. Might just be able to order a new set of mats too. Don't expect them to be cheap though!

Hi guys, I've sorta got the same question as ido09s. When is a good time to visit Japan?

I had a good old read of the Japan area... me wanna get there for a holiday lickety split!

hey bud.... hows the foot? you at work today?

riaz - hook me up late jan..

I think all of em look like that at night uneek... hmm - wonder how hard they are to install?

hi guys

chaos - if they are something like that you'd want to make sure they had really good bearings and shafts mounting the outter assembly that spins.. Wouldn't want to be doing a good speed with these things on. But if the outside isn't mounted separately then They're pretty cool.

Anyone got a PS2 and GT3 they wanna lend me for a weekend?

From reviews I've read and the demo I've played, NFSU seems to be a complete rice game. Not much mechanically can be done to the cars aside from "power-ups" and NOS. But stickers?!? We've got plenty!

Ref the other Dyno thread.. thats how you convert it.. thats why I said what's shown on the dyno graph probably isn't relative to actual torque.. I think it's some sort of different measurement called "tractive effort".. You'll have to ask our resident dyno operators..

Mr Mayhem - what sort of $$ are you wanting to get for it?

MearCat - I'm not sure how the tractive effort shown on the dyno printouts relates to Nm, BUT - I think the LB stands for foot-pounds, which you could convert to Nm which is Newton meters. 1 inch = 0.0254 m and there's 2.2 lbs (pound) to 1 kg and to convert from kilograms to Newtons you want to multiply it by gravitational accelleration which is 9.8m/s^2. Therefore the sum to go from LB to Nm should be: Nm = LB x (0.3048 x 9.8) / 2.2 Simplified, Nm = LB x 1.358 BUT - I don't think the tractive effort shown on the dyno printout is actually relative to foot punds of torque..

No probs Niz - farkin hot job it was. I saw quite a bit of sun myself. Good work by both the postwhore and the SST boys. And thanks to all those who came along. Paul - you going to post up a full set of results?

gotta love the lone posting! checkya...
