    Garage Sale

    yep understand...i'm after a seat for a racing sim cockpit also
  2. looking for a sports seat - any brand/model/age will do, so long as it's fairly clean. I'm building a racing sim cockpit, so dont need anything in particular. Will pay $50-100 neg. depending on the seat.

    i'll take the recaro copy for $50 if you're still interested in getting rid of it.
  4. if you still want to get rid of them, i'll take 1 for $50.
  5. feel free to ignore if this is too low, but i'll give you $50 for the seat with the mark on it.
  6. spotted 18AXE daudling up patricks rd arana hills 2nite....i was behind you
  7. i doubt that'll wash....i recon you'd need an engineers cert at least to convince them that its equivalent to stock. Even then, they could be pricks. anywho... So what insurance policy have you got lined up?
  8. IMO, it shouldnt be continuous smoke. You should only get a black puff on shifts and lift off.
  9. x2 why did they bother the start with a GTR donor just to rip the guts out it? If they're going to make a bastardised RWD drifter, why not start with a (cheaper) GT?
  10. so which insurance company did ya go with
  11. http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/44979-hk...ullys-sale.html says its a hks gt-ss
  12. this doesnt come up on mine....got the model number instead?
  13. ditto....before i would consider an install like this, i'd have to source a spare centre console surround, so i KNEW i could revert to stock if need be.
  14. wow! you have such green grass! whee do you live? It's pretty tough kepping the lawn that nice in Brisbane right now with the water restrictions. PS: nice worklog what model is the screen?
  15. if you're after trance, check out Digitally Imported.....they run some really good channels and have a better bitrate than the crappy nova 32kbps
  16. streamripper plugin for Winamp will capture it, then use you fav. burning software to burn. Dont know if its possible to burn direct without capturing first.

    18" Tyre Prices?

    god i hope they're better than ZE502's...shocking tyre!
  18. man i dont want to be a downer, but you are building a beast for the wrong reasons. This gear WILL be obsolete in 5 years for the following reasons: - DX11 will be out - DDR2 RAM will be so rare, it'll be too expensive to get enough in your machine - CPU micro-architectures will have progressed so far that your Core 2's will look ancient - you will not be able to buy big enough hard drives in SATA II form factor, as a new protocol will have taken the lead. History shows that building a mid-range system every 2 years or so give the best bang-for-buck. If you had built a "beast" 5 years ago, it would have looked something like: - P4 2.5 GHz - GeForce 4 4600 - 1GB DDR1-333Mhz - maybe JUST a USB2 capable mobo not very exciting eh? For gaming, 8 cores are just a joke. No current game will have any performance improvement between 2 and 8 cores. How long do you want to wait before the other 6 cores actually play a role? Better to stick with what works here and now and make a $$$ saving of ~80%. For HTPC, 8 cores and 16GB is OMFG-WTF-so-far-over-the-top-it's-rediculous arangement! Just how much power does it take to run a (worst case) 1080p PVR? Certainly not that much. Good reasons to build a beast would include: - you actually run apps that require it i.e. HD video NLE, 3d rendering etc. - it's going to be a busy server - you want braging rights Each to their own however....Good luck if you decide to follow it through.
  19. i get the same result if i start with the model code, but cant get anythin if i start with the VIN...strange.
  20. this number is not valid, so i took a guess at what yours might really be:
  21. I sincerely hope that budget includes Full comp insurance every year..... I drove 3 similarly priced R34s and 2 s15s back to back on the same day when i was looking for mine. I ended up with the R34, purely because of the quality of the individual car and the low KMs. It was a tough decision: - r34 looks tough, S15 looks sexy - i'm positive the s15 was quicker around the streets - acceleration and handling wise. - the r34 gearbox is tough as, compared to the (gimiky) 6 speed fragile thing in the s15 - r34 has slightly more rear passenger room - aussie delivered s15 has cheaper insurance.
