well if you plan to get canaried then you shouldn't get adjustable coilovers as they're a defectable item, even if they're set to a legal ride height. to clear this you need to take the whole strut out and put standard ones in anyway. So either way you'll have to do it

yeah they were both yours, dunno why, but they were both stamped return to sender. has me stumped why. wierd thing is you're both in VIC, so not even interstate. I'll send em again by express post on monday :\

They're different to an R32... Alternator Belt: 4PK860 Powersteering without Aircon: 4PK925 Powersteering with Aircon: 3PK845 Those are Gates belt codes, you might need to check if other manufacturers use the same code. Just checked... Optibelt's Alternator Belt code is 4PK858, Goodyear's is 4PK0863, Dayco's (Pirelli) is 4PK862, and Quinton Hazell's is QBR4863. Enjoy

hmm might be interested depending on how it looks in the pic.

well you're in luck, we're actually pretty good with the petrol thing... its about $1.50 per litre here for the 98 octane stuff that skylines take. Insurance should be a grand a year for someone that age in that city. After a brief stint in london I can tell you that the taxes and overheads of owning a car etc are MUCH less over here. There's no real equivalent check here. There's an RACV 100 point check, but they're a bunch of muppets with no specific knowledge of high performance cars, just day to day cars. As for accident history, there's no way to check that other than taking it to an experienced panel beater, we don't have a registry for accidents. However you can do a check for about $25 on the car's registration history, finance status, and if it requires special inspections for registration (sold as a damaged car etc).

nothing can be better than Shuto Kousoku Trial

slightly offtopic... but i'm assuming some of you guys might be interested in this: http://www.speedmaster-movie.jp/trailer/sp...r_trailer01.wmv http://www.speedmaster-movie.jp

anything's possible...

there's already a pretty active community in the UK for skylines (you get all the models there that we do), jump on gtr.co.uk and skylineowners.com to find some locals who have one so you can go for a spin in their car with them to see if you really like em. Series 1 R33's these days are about 12,000 max, series 2's will cost you 20,000 max, and it better be real good for that price tag, as you can get R33 GTR's for about 24,000 these days. R34's are also just starting to creep under the 20,000 mark, so why not go for something newer. Car Sales is a pretty good place to start, i'd also be checking out ebay.com.au and tradingpost.com.au

is it an actual nismo brand one or a fakie?

next time you go to the pub and pick up some fat chick because you couldn't see with your beer goggles... don't make out with her in your car, take her inside your house. And don't drive home under the influence.

don't ATM's take photos? and yeah, how do you access the card without a pin? I'm sure as shit everytime I got a new card they sent you a new PIN separately a couple of days apart.

I take my car to the track now and then, and I like a rigid feeling suspension... so I'm running a stiffer spring and adjustable dampening strut (street and track)... I've also lowered the car about an inch. If you know the right setting and you don't want to change it, there's no reason in the world to get adjustable coilovers (and technically a spring over a strut is a coilover, as its a spring "coil over" a strut). If you're not the type of person that needs his suspension adjusted every month for different tracks etc then there's no reason why you'd need em. I find most people do it just to keep up with the Jones'. The added benefit of staying on spring n strut setups is that its legal, adjustable coilovers are a bit tricky to make legal due to their adjustability. That said finding the suspension setup that's just right can be difficult at first, talk to a very good suspension shop and they should be able to sort you out.

BTW, I totally forgot about two very unique and important japanese built supercars, that are real supercars in the sense of exclusivity, rarity and construction/spec. The Tommy Kaira ZZ and Tommy Kaira ZZ2 and also the Toyota 2000GT only 337 made... and more expensive even now than a Porsche 911 ever was

Ahem... Porsche 956 (late 1980's) and Porsche 962 (early 1990's)... Group C homologation editions, sold to the public (well... privateers who could afford them, but still "public") and road registered. Definitely Supercars right there.

try tyefactory in melb... they do pretty good deals on drift-tek for under 2g's including tyres... that is if you're into cast iron crap that has a reputation for developing stree fractures at the hub mounts.

1. overtaking was done at the Dutton Rally... you know... the famous national one where cars of all makes and models face off on tarmac rallies. 2. f430 was taken by GTSt. The results of which are chronicled on http://www.duttonrally.com and the latest CAMS newsletter. In fact check out the leaderboard. R34 GTR came out on top in the VIC leg... over porsches, ferrari's and even some shmooze in a aston martin company car. 3. this forum is a discussion vessel used by people of many views and opinions. One of whom you are, and your view is as unique as you are. Try to understand that other people as resolute as you can exist in this world. 4. and this is the most important point I'm going to make... you seemed to have glossed past the fact that all the people posting in this thread are taking the piss, including Roy, me and many others. Roy's resolve to defend the mighty RB20 over any V8 twin turbo or V12 prancing shetland pony produced automobile is well known on this forum. To the point where its a running joke. Unfortunately from your posts it seems that you're not used to the slight nuances of the forum, don't let your emotions get stirred up unnecessarily

omg limited edition gunmetal grey.

SIF I read your posts. ever.

what timing I vote black or shadow chrome LMGT4's. Failing that I've got a set of R34 GTR wheels in bronze that I'm just gettin repolished/painted with brand new centres if you want to go the fake GTR route.

the one parked in an aeroplane. *badum tishhh* thank you, i'm here all week.

What a co-inkidence... next DECA then Brisby? I'll even let you hold an extra steering wheel in the passenger seat and pretend you were driving.

you're just biased because the Z came with an RB20

haha, once P platers start owning a model, or if they get modified by rajab or those barbi guys, they should be gracefully withdrawn from supercar-dom. /stir

the same reason why a 1980's lamborghini countach is an awesome car, but you're not gonna see me going out to buy one anytime soon, even though its very affordable now etc. It'll give a lot of new sports cars a run for their money... it dosen't mean its anywhere near as good as them in terms of efficiency, safety and technology.
