Mr. Keets

You'll have to buy me dinner first...and nothing cheap either...Nandos at the least

Terminator + shocker. I shall lay waste to the unbelievers with my mighty shocker lol I'm with Brad...coalition of the victorious

will you give me odds on that Yeah yeah yeah, when I was a kid I used to jump of the carport for fun...you dont see too many grown ups try'n that crap. We'll settle this tonight...winner gets a back rub Improvise, adapt, overcome...stay dry

pffft. I'm too old and i've spent too long in warmer climes to put up with that nonsense. I'm off to the safety shop for some kind of waterproof duds

With the greatest respect to the kart boys I think I will be making my own evaluation of the risks Now to find some wet weather gear! Anyone got a plan or a contact

There must be a reason why it was removed...I'll wait for the SAUWA one

Great stuff Bubba and thanks to Mary as well. I'll throw a few bucks at the PC helmet fund Yeah that was a pretty reasonable save there Prez *Brad were you paying attention lol* For those who missed out or have not chosen to sign up yet these events are a great opportunity to develop your skills and have some fun...and dont worry it's a no pressure deal.

Hey shoe boy...please die a painful death soon. On the matter of plates...why would you have a plate that is easily recognisable? Non-sequential alpha numeric FTW

Doh! lol. In that case probably a bit early for a plan then

Congratulations...A rambling answer to a question no one asked.

D1GP Japan 2009 Event Schedule Calendar Looks like your in luck...2hr ride on the Tohoku Shinkansen

Unless noted CLUB cruises would be open to you...Olivia et al prefer Skylines ONLY by the looks of things.

Busa is the stuff but with that 60 footer time you'd be behind the GT-R...for little while longer anyway

So the dates for the Nismo Festival have been released....6/12/09....No snow that early. anyone keen?

Close...Modified R32 GT-R on a prepped track, limiter launch.

I have 5/4 on my 32R..a reasonable balance for the road and the occasional trip to the track etc. Bang for buck, suspension upgrades are excellent value...sway bars? For instance I spent $200 on some KTA117 adjustable rear uppr radius arm...it help get the power down earlier. You dont get much on a GT-R for 200 bucks that adds value

Hey Bryn I did TAS last year then spent 5 days at Hakuba...havent been to Niseko though. Hakuba was a 4hr trip from Shinjuku on the train, station stops next to the main drag - plenty of buses, everything in town was walking distance with the hotels and chalets a 5 minute drive then another 5 minutes to the slopes.Theres a good supermarket ( good range of booze) in town along with a laundrymat, Lawsons and the rest of the necessary stuff. We stayed in a hotel and the only met a handful of Aussies, there are plenty of little restaurants and bars around. Mid week it was almost deserted, even on the weekends it was quiet...lined up for a lift maybe half a dozen times. Weather wise...we got what looked like almost a metre of snow the night we arrived...even 3 dyas without any decent fresh snow I wouldnt have called the conditions icey. Ski patrol were pretty cool considering the reputation in Jp. From what I hear Hakuba is less hecktic than Niseko

Just be carefull which one you get...you know mail order fail

Daddy's home boys...HA! not on the bending overest day of you slim hipped life.

Well that explains the cost, the UK test I saw performed was a probe in the exhaust pipe Nice one Driftt.

zing! lol ...brad give him another 5 laps...making fun of the team principal

Some interesting info there Drift. Is this an issue we will have to face each time there is a defect issued? if so this is how I see the madness unfolding... "Random" traffic stop, plod comes out with the usual "what's that? a BOV?"..."no officer it's a pod filter". So the defect for a BOV, but now under educated plod can fark with you a little more and add..."I suspect this car has an ECU or camshaft or -insert spurious alleged defect here- you will be taking this over the pits and you will need to get this IM240'ed smart arse". Then comes the the trip to the tuner for the soft tune and a near new cat. So if you dont have the soft tune or dont road tune yourself, it's the what?an hour on the dyno + new cat + whatever minor transgression you've committed against the ADR's + the plods usual nonsense list + usual time off work + fees...this is going to cost...this is of course based on the $1200 Drift calculated. So we have the inconvenience and the excessively high cost of compliance. What is going to happen when you get defected for IM240 and there is no cat available and/or the Kosteki cash register is booked for a month, vehicle deregistered?? Even with two centres (cheers Gaz) for this testing the back log will be immense. Now this 1200 bucks, sure a new cat (one off purchase), some dyno time but $1200. The UK has the MOT system and I recall seeing some show a little while ago and I'm sure the test itself was only around $100. If you have a decat pipe or a cat and keep a IM240 spec cat in the garage it wouldn't have thought it would be that big of an impost. Just a little more screwing around than usual. discuss

Not in NSW 13/7 it starts...next week is NAIDOC week. (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) celebrates the survival of Indigenous culture and the Indigenous contribution to modern Australia, thats something to look forward too I suppose I agree T, this thread will be hektic to the power of sik...until it's locked lol

pffft get a defect then switch to low boost and put in a cat for the IM240...one facility, bet he'll be busy lol
