lol don't get your knickers in a twist. I'm used to paying $25 an hour cos I just pay the mechanic's wages for the day. Mind you I have to tee up with the mechanic about 2 months beforehand cos obviously they don't make a profit on any work they do for me so other jobs get priority. I pay whatever it costs the business for all the consumables, fluids and parts, and the mechanic's labour for the full day, i'll usually get lunch and brekky for the boys as well. They ring me up whenever they need cars or parts imported, or they need help troubleshooting a skyline. Plus I go in on the weekends and do all their invoices, ISO certification, insurance and all that shit for them, so I make up for it in my own way. I only get em to do major work anyways. I do all the minor services at home.

this might have something to do with it. I can't remember the last time I got work done without a hookup. usually I do some of the work too.

says the habib rolling in a sedan with hobo spec suspension. and by hobo spec, I mean when you park the car at night, hobos climb in the gap between your wheel and fender for shelter. usual rate is about $25 an hour, so he spent 3 full days working on your car?

busy working, and went to japan for 3 days for some meeting BS. fuckin 12 hours days are killin me.

no. there's a limit to how much power your sparkplug can discharge, so no matter if you pump 11ty billion amps down it using your overpriced splitfires or just pump the necessary amount using brand new factory ones, the sparkplug is gonna spark the same. Once you have a spark, you have combustion, which generates your power. Up until then your car generates 0 power. In fact it just consumes it. Put it this way, if a terrorist was to blow himself up and had 1kg of TNT strapped to him, and had the option of a $2 switch and a $200 switch, both of which work properly, which switch do you think will give you the bigger explosion? Half the time people start sporting boners for splitfires and rave on about how much extra power they're getting, it's because they've just replaced their factory ones that are about 10-15 years old with brand new ones. you can wire up a cheap MSD transformer setup for about $200 that will give you the same spark as any splitfires, any day. fact. not quite as simple as unplug and plug, but it's possible.

careful, mohsen might take that as an invitation.

looks sweet. mind you I've got a soft spot for camaros having owned a gen 2. I'd probably get the frontend conversion kit if I ever bought a VE wagon (probably the only VE I'd buy). also, nga's in oz have no probs grafting an S15 front onto a clapped out piece of shit S13 but think doing something similar on a bogan sled is wrong? you and your high horse can both fuck off.

north east? is that like bundoora or some shit?

can't you just get stiffer springs then?

I don't get it... it's just a 2000GT-X with bolt ons. There's much more hotter ones running around in japan, that were modded in similar fashion 20 years ago by dudes who now have grandkids. Put it this way, no one gives a shit if you own a hardtop 6 banger mustang. If you're gonna own a piece of history, you might as well make sure you get the one everyone remembers. Let's revisit this when it's a real 2000GT-R with a real S20 engine shall we? Americans make Ken & Mary cry.

so you didn't buy a car cos the side had a dent in it that was filled with bog? i see.

mmmm flood damaged skylines.... kaaaching! had minor flooding of our garden last year after some heavy rains, so i got the plumber in to beef up our drains. neighbours got flooded but were were dry as

stock mini handles better than a slushbucket stock r33, notice how the design of the mini puts all 4 wheels at the corners of the body with no overhang? FWD is easier to drive/control for a new driver cruise control standard drive by wire traction control standard 2000's tech vs 1990's tech depending on the year, stock getrag gearbox in cabin noise (or lack thereof) lots of airbags less police trouble compared to an R33 etc.

only a dropkick retard would pick a shitty old N/A R33 over a mini if they could afford it.

if chrysler couldn't do it a few years ago with the 300C i doubt anyone can. that thing is about as close as it gets to a v8supertaxi spec-wise.

HDCB's are terrible for taking constant abuse (like a full track day). The centre and the ceramic are attached so you can't rebuild them modularly when they wear out, they suck for daily driving and are no more durable than a regular HD. basically HDCB's are for people who want to feel like they're using a brass button without any of the durability or benefits. You either buy an HD which is cheap to maintain, gives good grip and slips enough to daily drive, or you get your balls in a bunch and buy a brass button. HDCB is for fags. Heavy flywheel + snappy clutch = good Light flywheel + snappy clutch = shockloaded drivetrain

free?

you mean like the F50 that rocks a VQ in a land barge RWD platform? Or the relatively smaller C35 sedans? Neither sold in oz tho in full volume. I thought the restrictions in place in v8supertaxi's meant that both bogan sleds were essentially the same shit with different shells? I doubt BMW or Nissan for that matter would be prepared to Nascar it up for a fringe consumer group like australia.

haha work's sending me to japan next month... wheee. time to stock up on some jap only S30 parts.

no. different quarter panels.
