for a well advanced country, i've found that the best bargains in japan are in secohan shops, over the counter so to speak. now if some genius could make those shops accessible to the fanboys overseas then they'd be onto a goldmine.

as soon as i figure out the new IPB structure. the way the forum is set up with caching there's 4 different scripts that have the same information, and I don't know which one is being accessed... i'll have to sit down properly and nut it out. Sorry for the delays people.

heh, although a subsection is a lot cleaner than the rubbish in the NSW section now. we'll see how the polls go. in general its a bad idea, because it just opens up more postwhore threads, and also segregates people. I can't wait to see a new thread for each suburb with a handful of posts each.

no just coz the postwhores demand shit, dosen't mean the postwhores get shit.

sorted should be on by default... i forsee a lot of people wondering why thier mail quota's full even though they only have a few PM's in their inbox.

sorry, that was me messing around with the scripts and I forgot to put a semicolon in my code. All sorted out now.

booya...w asn't a caching issue... turns out i've been editing the wrong skin... gaaaah... no wonder my new hacks haven't been working (resulting in graying and loss of hair) its coz the skin structure of the forum's been changed. *shakes fist at PranK*

changed the control panel links to take you to the last page... but stupid forum caching means it'll take a while before it take effect.

hmm looks like it didn't work too successfully. back to the drawing board... they seem to change the stupidest little things with each revision of invision.

Remix- that's a horrible car... surely they would have seen it when the car was inspected etc? with all the 15 yr old shitheaps running around i'm not surprised people are finding rust. when I was hunting for a GTS4 I found that almost 99% of them were in snow regions, and they all had nicely rusted underbodies. A lot had rust on the chassis and side sills etc... horrible. Ended up finding a GTS4 that was located in tokyo... still has a lil surface rust where water collects around the rear window, but nothing like the horrors I saw from Hokkaido etc.

email subjects altered to contain more info, and email contents summarised a lil. I'll let the forum start sending out some emails before I tinker with it more... also might look into the stupid double spacing in the mails.

as some others have said above. RB25DET is better than RB26 for drift... cheap bolt on mods, enough power for drift and cheap initial purchase price compared to an RB26, which isn't gonna be that much of an improvement in drift setups... you're not building a circuit racer or drag car here. Your primary concern is to make sure the engine dosen't blow while you sit on the rev limiter all day... Getting an AWD skyline/cef for drift is dumb, purely because the front axles add weight and reduce steering angle, which you'll need to get good lock. Again, not really building a circuit or drag car to need AWD. If I were to build a car just for drift on a limited budget, I'd just get a regular manual Series 1 R33 GTSt. You can have one landed complied and registered for around 10k these days, you've got a standard RB25DET and if you put some bolt on induction mods, strip it, take out HICAS, change the suspension and add a mechanical LSD you're well on your way to a sweet sweet drift car for under 15k. Panels are cheap as hell and spare parts are so cheap... perfect for a drift car. Plus it's newer than a rusty old A31, S13, or R32. f**k being different... I'm sure your bank balance dosen't care if you're the only monkey on the track with a certain type of car.

did you try using ":\\" (single slash being invalid in php coding)

you suck

use their BBS to contact them

$2000 and you can set fire to my AE86. hell I'll even pour the gasoline on for you. Stupid rusty piece of shit.

*thinks back to the good old days when an SAU meet comprised of me, doxx, meggala, uLa, drdrift and doxx's huskies*

its the old blitz or trial R33 GTR built for Dai back in like 1998. It used to be bayside (?) blue and was built back then to do some top speed thing (290km/h or something)... can't remember the exact details of it. I've got the original Option mag which featured the buildup somewhere... they used the back of a Nissan Exa, and grafted it onto the R33. They revived it recently with a white n silver repaint to promote "JDM Option International", which is Option's overseas arm.

there's also this sihouette that one of the ceffy clubs in japan called "quattro" uses... its for AWD a31 ceffy owners.

driftline.com.au (shameless plug) they fit them too, so you don't have to worry about them not lining up properly etc.

Domain forwarding... nah I tried couldn't get it to work properly... i might have to corner PranK one day and sit down with him to make it work, coz atm I control the script based forwarding and he controls the domain forwarding. Might just get prank to take it off domain forwarding and change it to a simple URL redirect. I forsee stupid shirts being made like "Caution... Grandpa-mobile driver. Do not irritate."

Its the same one that gojira posted from the show a while back. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=1949674 I remember finding a few pics on the Dear Motorsports site (different to these ones) while looking for a supplier of R34 fender conversion kits for the WGNC34. Had a look at a couple of the non ute wagon conversions and we decided that the Masa fitted ones looked better... although Dear seems to be simply reselling Masa fenders. Still... very cool ute conversion. Dear Motor SPorts website: http://www.dear-motor-sports.com

yeah sure... shouldn't be a problem. or you can do it yourself using: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/WEB-...Converter.shtml
