  1. ^^^my speeding fine in SA never carried Demerit Points back over into VIC.
  2. They allow your stock ECU to be tuned. Far better than a standalone aftermarket ECU in a daily driven car as it'll retain your good cold start and good idle. Sam @ Dr Drift: http://drdrift.com.au/contact.php Trent @ Chequered Tuning: http://www.chequeredtuning.com/new/?q=node/21
  3. I wasn't there that long. Just popped in for a sticky beak around that time after Yum Cha
  4. I couldn't stop staring at this car at the show-'n-shine. Absolutely, ridiculously immaculate. Well done.
  5. I can't believe you're actually asking this question. Two solutions; Better tyres Control your right foot
  6. I'm not sure, but it's very unfair if they don't. Considering they're the worst drivers (I'm generalising, but you know it's true!) and a lot of them deserve to be off the road.
  7. 3310
  8. After work. I guess I'll start making the trek around 6pm.
  9. I'm really surprised Nissan even touched it for you! Considering it's in a car that was never released in Australia, with an engine that was never in an Australian-delivered car, that's been turbo'ed and is running aftermarket management! No idea on the Haltec. Sam @ Dr Drift might be able to help you? http://drdrift.com.au/contact.php
  10. I wasn't saying all. Just a lot of 'lowered springs' combined with stock shocks I've had the pleasure of experiencing have been terrible. My R34 for example has Nismo springs on new OEM shocks, and I certainly wouldn't recommend them. My Pulsar used to run King springs on KYB shocks, and it rode like a bag of dicks I'm a firm believe in a nice set of coilovers
  11. If you're not going to bother lowering it properly (at minimum lowered springs with properly matched shocks, or better yet coilovers) then don't bother to lower it until you can afford to. Chuck lowered springs on stock shocks and you're not likely to be in for a pleasant ride. Think about it - you're now asking the stock, old, worn-out shocks to work far outside the range the manufacturer intended.
  12. It's a traditional slushbox 4-speed with one entirely useless way of shifting gears (steering wheel) and one slightly more useful (shifter.) If you want to shift gears all the time, buy a manual. I let both of my automatics do their thing - work automatically. You really gain nothing by trying to tell the car that you know best. The only time you should ever need to overide it is say down a big hill, or going through twisties. The 'autos' you're referring to in supercars (the fact is a lot of them now are clutchless manuals, not automatics) are nothing like the slushboxes in our R34's or anything other sub-$50,000 car. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer to drive an automatic (2/3 of my cars are auto) for the fact I'm still far too nervous to drive a manual all the time. I might get over that one day.
  13. You can buy mine
  14. No RWC...
  15. Don't chop the springs, please.
  16. Red R34 coupe followed by a white V35 Skyline turning onto Canterbury Road from Scoresby Road in Bayswater at about 5:15pm.
  17. He did a driveby on Main Street. Correct, it would've been knocked off pretty quickly around there by the station rats.
  18. No worries, cya then
  19. I meant Shane as in Purple R33 GT-R Shane (Leon and Wayne's relative.) Would you like to be on the table too? Happy to ring them up and change the booking to 9x. Also, if anyone else wants in on this table let me know now.
  20. Booked a table for 8; Leon, Shane, Paul, Wayne, Hayden +1, Megan and myself.
  21. Will come down for a look
  22. Aston Martin Rapide in Main Street, Croydon this evening. It must have been lost

    Car Finance

    Secured loans (car loans) generally aren't available for cars over a certain age. The age varies between lenders. I've had unsecured personal loans on two of my cars. The interest is higher but I pay them off quickly so meh.
  24. Sorry to hear
  25. Sounds good. The Mexican place needed to be given the flick. Leon & Shane - could I be on your table? Happy to book it if I know how many people to book in total
