  1. team j-spec will be leaving at 6am on Saturday morning from Burwood. If I'm with them then I'll do some officiating. Do we get logbook notes for officiating? narkeh, I can handle your camera if you want (otherwise I'll be snapping with my IXUS).
  2. patience... all will be clear in a sec
  3. sorry couldn't resist had to tweak your post a little for added novelty.
  4. http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_...oyota-ts-01.htm http://www.japanesecarfans.com/news.cfm/Ne...2/toyota/1.html http://www.gizmag.com.au/go/3800/
  5. they take the xenon out as part of compliance, then they can fit "aftermarket" xenons back onto the car...
  6. they also have an active GT racing competitions that attract a lot of media attention, sponsors and manufacturers (including the Falken backed R34 GTR). Setting up a branch in Europe will allow them to develop and refine their involvement in the series. The US has a massive fanboy base, and like other Japanese companies like Apex, HKS and TRD will no doubt do well from expanding in there. Plus JGTC just set up a leg of their championship in the US, so it makes sense to be there. We have V8 supercars... and people who love the bang for buck value of 15 year old cars. Not really much of a market for high end tuning house developed cars, and the profits to be made from just aftermarket parts is gonna be pretty thin.
  7. maybe a new model Cressida is in order eh? been a while since we had a RWD toyota sedan.
  8. Heh, O/T, but I don't think I was clear... 1 car garage (with room for tools, and engine block etc), plus a carport and long drive way, which means we can park 4 cars behind locked gates. And its $110 per person per week, but it includes electricity and water bills. Kingsbury's about 20 mins out of the city. Rent's generally pretty cheap in melb compared to syd. Problem is my landlord wants to extend the house and knock down the garage to put up another room, so I've gotta find a new place.
  9. do these fold in or anything... ie if some twat decides to knock em will they break off or is it spring loaded so it just folds?
  10. meh, its not gonna achieve anything, the turdburgler will just sign up using another nick. Hopefully he reads this and realises that not everyone thinks he's as fully sick as he thinks he is.
  11. they got wind of Stagea owners congregating, so they thought they'd infiltrate the meets by blending in. :)
  12. how about Slartibartfast? good name with lots of ennuendo's and insight.
  13. print out a parts list and fax it off to them. That's what we do for cars that come in and need factory/ADR compliant parts fitted.
  14. found one with blue stitching?
  15. roflmao... nismo vending machine... wonder if they dispense nismo oils and lubricants
  16. imho the new eclipse/fto amalgamation looks better than the GTR prototype
  17. hehe the pic was one that I posted of the translation I did of the Super HICAS system which comes in R33 GTSt's. The original image came out of the R33 GTSt sales brochure.
  18. I wouldn't call it a R33.5 as such, coz its using Ford headlights... here's some pics from the initial stages of the car when it drove into the workshop next door:
  19. topstage, do you run a panelbeater/prep/paint shop or is this in your spare time as a hobby? I'm looking for someone to prep my car for paint. If you want you can use the car for a couple of weeks to develop your guards while you're at it.
  20. GTRgeoff is gonna hunt you down now. Your days are marked.
  21. f**k that... name the little c**t so I can ban him. Users like that don't deserve the priviledge of being on this forum.
  22. apparently ACT police are going undercover...
  23. small DIY I made for taking the glass off, which you'll need to do for this mod: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=53353 Couple of questions: Where'd you get the Honda Euro projectors from, how much, and do they come with the Xenons and ballasts etc? And... have you test run the light to see if the throw is any better than the standard projector?
