Captain Comma's gonna become Captain Coma in a sec.

I dunno... "cefiro's and japanese taxi's" didn't quite sound right. Bring on the Hitler regime of the ceffy section.

worst. green. ever.

yeah I've sent you two now (the last one was sent on a monday from memory). lol can you please give me a non PO box address and I'll send it to that one instead?

I'm leaving on the 20th (tentative for now... might be as late as first week of July)... for now I'm moving to Parramatta where my parents live... but looking at buying my own place somewhere in the inner north shore.

dangerous_daveo has been made the new mod for this section. Also the section and its description have been altered. Each section can have up to 3 moderators, so I will add another mod in due time.

how's about this sunday then Geoff? I'll be taking out my gearbox at the workshop tomorrow night, so hopefully I'll have it all done by Sunday. Think it is the bearing that's seized.

haha... the old mucus green r33! Goddamn there were a few SAUers who found amusement in the car being dropped off its springs at Autosalon. last time I saw the plates HOTLNE it was on a white R33 GTSt that was doing chap laps

roughly how many runs will you get in a night? the website mentions a queing system etc. but are we guranteed a certain number of runs? just trying to compare $55 drag night at calder to this. Also is circuit racing available yet? most of the website seems to be geared toward drag racing only.

well when I made the section I assumed Cefiros and other RB Powered Sedan's might be clear enough to stop non 4 door owners from posting there. just guesstimating... 80% of the guys in there own ceffies and 15% own 4 door R32's. the rest are a scattering of Laurels and Cimas. (No Gloria or cedric owners yet methinks). Maybe renaming it to "Cefiro's and other Taxi's" as suggested or something like that might help.

sooo... umm... how'd it go?

i'd still take an FTO over an eclipse (awd or fwd)... FTO's are pretty sweet cars once you put a MIVEC controller and do some work on the engine and its respiration. The AWD on older eclipses were more like the ones we got on Legnum VR4's and Galant VR4's... ie sloppy and useless.

actually... since both narkeh and someonestolecc both stepped down from moderating the section, there's only me to look after it. Can I have some volunteers for 2 new mods to look after the section? (Obviously you have to be a reg in the Jap Taxi section to apply). Also I'll probably change the section name to "Cefiros Australia" and point the domain name www.cefirosaustralia.com to it soon.

will be fixord by the end of the week. patience young padawan.

yikes... i'm the one who's supposed to be responsible for the cef section... I'll have a look at it guys... just haven't been active in that section for a while. Should be... I've been drivin the cef more than my R32 recently

its the loophole that brought down ozhonda from memory... some monkey was in here last month trying to exploit it too by making a few threads with encrypted exec statement.

ahh god bless geoff and his cotton socks.

I think the better parallel is that we have FTO's whereas they got eclipses. FTO's weren't made in LHD and eclipses weren't made in RHD. Although transforming the first series eclipse to RHD isn't supposed to be hard as they're a pretty modular cockpit and can use a lot of VR4 parts. The next model of eclipse sees the FTO merged with the eclipse line. So from now on they'll be the same family of car available in both RHD and LHD.

Possible, bit of a headache though, shipping rates from Australia to the US aren't that cheap, especially for car parts. Plus you've gotta promise us you won't put our GTR badges on your Hondas. I don't see any hassle in that sorta agreement, other than organising for the parts to be sent to you, and international payments. Not many people in Australia use paypal and other US based electronic payment methods, so you'd have to rely on good old international transfers. Not really, our spare parts come from Japan, and we'd have covered the costs for getting them from there. For example, an R32 trim piece costs US$20 in japan, in australia it'll cost about US$40... by the time you get it to the US from Australia it'll cost about US$60, and if you had gotten it straight from Japan (overnight parts from Japan dude!) it'd have cost you US$40. I'm willing to bet there's more skylines on my street than there are in the whole of the US, so finding spare parts in Australia is gonna be pretty easy (just check out the classified sections). Convincing Australians to actually go to the hassle of sending parts to the US and waiting for payment from overseas is another matter altogether. We are getting the next gen GT-R. Whether they'll be as readily accepted as a replacement is to be seen. Guys in the US are hankering to buy locally sold GTR's, but we're spoilt for choice here when it comes to Skylines... so its not like everyone's gonna rush out and go buy the latest one, because they're all legal here. I think the only Infiniti's we ever got was the Q45 and the 4WD whatever it was. They weren't exactly big sellers here, to a point where all the Infiniti dealerships closed down and are now only sold and serviced at Nissan.

If you've got the older style PS2 (the big chunky one) just do it yourself, there's plenty of tutorials... that's how I did mine. You can do a modchip-less hack of the PS2, all you need is a special savegame on your memory card and a PS1 game. Don't even have to open up your PS2, and let you put a hard drive into it...

I've got some of the stagea logo's in vector format (EPS) somewhere on my website... gotta dig it up.

you've got PM

Actually they aren't D-Speeds... they're sourced from a small shop in Yokohama that does clear lenses for S13s n stuff. I can get you a set if you want... (if they still make em) they cost just over $350 delivered. The ones on Ruk's car are these: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=88235

they look like chloro-Q whatchamightcallits.
