  1. Interesting, but Street and Show are not exactly definable so this leads to disputes. Registered could be another entry point, is Mark and Russels car a road registered weapon?
  2. I don't mind some of the bling but I'd love to see a special on Australian Skylines with a challenge between cars on all 3 majors (Circuit/Drag/Dyno). Who has the best overall car?
  3. As the title says we have enougth to get a banner printed up with dimentions 2m x 1m. We can have as many colours as we want what ever design, BUT... The image MUST! be very high quality to print out at that size. So far the most liked design is the Black R34 in the past thread. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ba...40&start=40 Now is the time for people to come up with any alternative designs, and hopefully much larger files. I'm willing to say the best design (as voted by us) that we get by the end of the month wins and will then be printed, what say you?
  4. I'll take Evanescence Anywhere but home dvd $5 How much is shipping. PM me account details.
  5. I could not see on the box, PCIe?
  6. Quite a story of woe, but not unlike others I've heard for modified cars like skylines. Pays to keep your car stock as much as possible or at least keep a full list of every modification. Previous owners always forget the small ones. Hope to se the car back on the road.
  7. Hell yea, I'm keeping mine. I don't recomend a product often, few come up to my standards, but this is good, Australian made and the guy selling is on the up and up.
  8. Nice time. I wish I had tyres as I would have been up the pointy end of the list. Next time if this group buy happens. Question, they let you run the open wheeler with other cars on the track????
  9. Yeah I could not stay, I just turned up to say hi.
  10. I believe it means sharpened. A live weapon as opposed to a dull practice blade. I could be wrong though.
  11. I turned up at the museam at midday to say hi but no one was there. It would have been a good day to go see Michelle go round the track.
  12. Mostly good advice on this thread but some bad or costly advice as well. You have a near stock R33 GTR and you are taking out to track days. Same thing I had, same thing I did. I'm still buying more stuff for the car after it blew the turbos. The don'ts unless you want to risk big expenses 1. Increase boost - You have a 10+yo car with known badly designed turbo's. Push the boost up and the turbo's may last ages or they could blow up first track day (mine did). 14PSI is NOT safe on a race track 2. New fuel pump & injectors - Utter waste unless you are upping boost past 18PSI on a stock motor and thats 260-270 rwkw HICAS removal is a good idea if you have driven rear wheel drive cars fast and expect the cars rear end to behave like a normal rwd car under very hard cornering. Don't be affraid to be different and try keeping the HICAS in and see how it drives before trying it without HICAS. The items that I have or am going to do, prices indicative 1. Remote Oil cooler I recomend one with a thermastat if you live somewhere when it goes to sub 0's in winter. $ 1500 installed 2. Suspension, go the whole hog SK does a nice cheap kit for $2500 and install can cost up to $1000 3. New turbo's, those old one will die, HKS GT-SS for the track, they allow up to 300rwkw and are true bolt on replacement items Allow $5000 with install 4. Good brake pads, there's a whole thread on them somewhere, I have EBC yellow's that work very well on the road as well but are rated for the track, though a lot of track people will bag the EBC for track work. With the stock pads I had to pull out of my last drive day due to a severe lack of pads after only 2 sessions. 5. If your disks are worn then replace with slotted rotors, DON'T go the cross drilled ones for track work. I've also been told that you need heat treated ones for regular track work. 6. OIL Management, there's lots of threads about extended sumps, baffled sumps, oil pumps, oil catch cans etc. Need to take the engine out to do a proper job. This is probably the most important items for a GTR and can be the most costly. 7. Spitfore coil pack is a great idea. Then go the next steps of a new CPU, upping boost, AFM's, Boost controlers etc. SK - Sidney kid is probably one of the better sources of information on oil control and track racing, have a look for his responses.
  13. As above I need 265/35/18 x4 and would consider 255/40/17 x4 At the right price who knows how many sets. But I need to know prices, an approximate condition of tyres like 50% worn? tread depth remaining? and shipping to Canberra As Japan does not allow tread depth to go too low, I would assume most of them would be at the Japanese minium tread depth
  14. See this link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ru...42#entry3909242 The unit still retains the GTR type handeling while enableling you to adjust when the front wheels start being driven. $50 off for the first few buyers, that $150 less than I paid for mine.
  15. No pictures? no probs here's the link to the original thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Gt....html&st=40 Get in at this price guys, I love mine and I paid $150 more than this group buy. Do I get $50 off my next purchase for the sales pitch?
  16. I'm in the same situation and after weighing the pro's and cons I've decided on the cheap shitbox 2nd car. For me the final decider was taking the dog, in the shitbox I don't care if he leaves hair everywhere.
  17. No probs we had about 10 cars show.
  18. I'll try and make it since I can't make Sunday at this stage
  19. Full unit. It just look like a big black box on wheels. What would you like photo's of?
  20. Sounds like her then. Tough looking with older style wheels. Drove past a silver R33 GTR today at the Shell in Fyshwick, gave a way and was totally ignored, from 2m away! If you’re going to be snobby buy a Porsche, if you can't afford one stop being snobby and say hi.
  21. I have a working dehumidifier that might suit your purposes. Very cheap I rarely use it.
  22. God I want to overtake one after that.
  23. Maxed out at 18psi for me
  24. You're kidding right! Oil at cold temperature is causing a leak due to being 5 weight as opposed to 7.5 weight? It only leaked when hot and that was fixed by someone tightening the clips.
  25. Looks good, thanks for the invite.
