just a big open place to practise on with a couple of witches hats, being new here not sure if there are any places like that, I wanna give it a go but dont wanna do it on the road - thinkin of one of those skid pan days here in the act

As the title suggests got my 1st speeding ticket - and i had a bet with my brother that i could go through my whole Ps without one... Nice cop but way better than the way they treat you on the gold coast pulled me over i said good afternoon officer got booked for doing 79 in a 60 zone (I was in a really big rush) on limestone ave near the war memorial said that he'll drop it down to under 15km so $133 Funny when I called dad up but to tell him, 1st thing he said - you have to go see magistrate? said no, reply was im doing better than him (used to own a nice fod coupe with a worked chev) So thats that! and i can assure you that i learnt my lesson - now i have to wait till ANOTHER pay day to get the HICAS lock bar

still very intrested - where can i get further details? Having never been to a track is this a good opportunity for a frist time go?

god I just hope no one was majorly injured, cost of repair must be through the roof, bodywork in shambles like that!

that ztune is such a machine - i just cant stop looking at the photos SO disapointed that ive missed it AND the winfield gtr grrrrrrr

scary mate was in an accident broke both wrists and arms - still rides his bike though scarry sh!t even to witness something like that...

agreed to that, comming from the gold coast there is a lot that goes on there but from what im hearing it is a little dodgy here considering canberras size

mmm yes Im the one with the very dodgy front bar being held on by cable ties - gotta get it sprayed! love what youve done with the seats looked hot as, good to see a few 31s there as well MIVEC - who was the man i should talk to about the drift scene here?

whos niiice blue r32 was that...looked like a nightclub under that car!

burn it burn it to the ground

dunno personally havnt tried it but im an ultimate fan

any more updates on the progress?

again couldnt come car was gettin exhaust put in it.... should be sweet once its done

gave ben a call said that hed do it for a killer price so thats that! basically it needs some welding i believe and that im not keen on at all thanks to all for contributing

sidchrome spanner in 13mm or 1/2" personally i think that the 1/2" is a better fit!

So whatcha recon invest in a quality spanner and give it another go?

When I bought the car it had a GTR sticker on it and I was like - sooo why is it there? answer: because when you hit a set of lights everyone thinks your driving a high performace car and you get the looks... Why o why, ok I admit the GTR is a beast and everytime I see one I respect the car, love to have a look at any mods that make it stand out - but why o why do they do it? recon someone should start a poll and let those who have done it have their say - maybe us gtst owners are missing out on something that makes it worth while i dunno? ALSO extreamly intrested in gettin a badge like that, I actually walked pasted one and thought ohh great another GTR badge but then walked to the back n didnt see the matching badge walked back to the front and couldnt believe it - wanted to shake hands with the owner!

My story begins with purchasing the split dump/front pipe from the Batmbl group buy. Having seen the quality of the parts of had to invest in one of his high flow cats. Friday came and as promised the cat was in received via express post. Excellent had the replacements now to perform the surgery! Friday had a little rain but after reading all the DIY guides I had the confidence to install it all by myself (being a hands on guy). Friday night 2 hours in the cold miserable rain (no garage) only to discover the socket set I had was worthless having ruined both the 13mm and 1/2”. Ok Saturday comes and a trip to supercheap, invested in WD40 and a new set of tools to assist in the job. 2 hours, turbo shield off and one bolt removed 5 left. Didn’t wanna do it but called dad for advice and he said to get a spanner with some spray (dunno what its called but white with a red lid, CRO55 or something – threw the can away in anger after much swearing). Sunday morning a little hungover time to finish the job… attacked the remaining bolts and got another one off – this might work! Tried the next bolt ‘snap’ broke the bloody spanner. Went to supercheap got a new one and waited for the turbo to cool. Snap again! (lesson don’t buy $2 tools…) Went to bunnings maybe some “quality” tools will help even got the guy to have a look – his answer – go to a mechanic its too tight to get a tool down there. So the story ends with me being a little pissed that even as simple a job as removing a few bolts is a pain in the ass. Monday morning I’ll call up Ben and see if they can loosen the bolts for me, I still wanna try n install it myself but I have to say that I lost this war in the “I’m going to modify this car myself to the point where ill need to invest in an engine hoist!” Just wanting to know, do you most jobs yourself or rely on the mechanic to do it for you?

saw a nice blak 33 lowered with JDM rims (volk i believe) in civic and a sad lookin 180 with some damage to the back end - someone spanked the poor girl too hard

well i can live with it for now I guess I was just think that this crunching was causing a sh!tload of damage and was worried about it. thanks

thanks for all that now i know a little more! cheers guys

Just a quick q got a cat from the Batmbl group guy and was wanting to install it myself? which way does the cat go with the 02 plug at the front or back? Cheers

pissin down a fair bit - and i cant get off dodgy yet another week missin the action
