A blue one? Get it inspected from another place fairlly familar with R34 GTR's. Possibly Skyline perforamnce as they have an R34 GTR for sale as well ($95K on their website) It's not this one is it? http://www.gtr.net.au/gpage6.html

Well you have no excuse for bad tyres :-) Hey Glen. I've PM'd you but I need your details ASAP if you are coming.

I'm not having a go asI was interested in the quote as well, but I think we should keep this to peoples direct personal experiances, not hersay. I'd really like to know if more than one person has had experiance with "Skyline Performance" (http://www.gtr.net.au/). The website is one of the better designed ones I've seen for a car workshop.

Yep its a new year

GTR (R33)

No ideas on a panel beater/respayer, but I feel for your situation. Good luck with it.

Yep and that's still ongoing. From several people I've been told similar stories as well. I had some limited but decent service from Jim who runs the place, but the fellow on the desk and who booked in the job lied to me about several things and is still screwing me around. The list keeps growing of things Croydon did or did not the more I look at the car. I will take one thing back, the fuel econemy problem turned out to be a Woolworths/Caltex problem not the tune (after Jim said all 98's were the same mind you). But as some you you have seen, the shit comming from the exhaust is still there, if less so with the BP fuel. Every time I take the car to Sydney to fix things (that never seem to get done when I arrive) it costs me about $120 in fuel and all my day. Just factor that in when considering taking your car to a Syndey or Melbourne workshop. CRD has been surprised that I will not go away, others I have talked to just give up trying to get service, but thats not my style. Jim seems to be a good tuner, it's the rest of the service I am very unhappy about. Don't piss of a public servant.

Maybe that's a good thing considering every bogon apparently wants to smash skylines and Braddon is the place to find drunk bogons.

Hey Ladybytes where were you? You missed a decent turnout :-)

Onepiece

With respect Bullet32 that seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to some yobbos that have never done anything to you. I've driven past Summernats and around Canberra last nats and received only praise for the car (excluding one young yobbo at BP Civic, who cried out skylines sucks then ran away). That’s no different from driving a Holden GTS or a Ford GT-P. Have respect for each others cars and choices and you will avoid many problems. We won't be competing, driving around, or doing anything that attracts attention of the yobbo's. Most yobbos will likely be watching the burn out comp or the Go-Whoa on Sunday.

I'll be out tonight

Well tell us a date?

I had two or three favourites when I grew up The 410km/h Calloway Corvette Sledgehammer Aero Knight Rider (Pontiac Trans Am) And that led to the car I so nearly purchased (1978 Pontiac Trans Am)

I have not seen anyone on these forums that could enter as a full entrant anyway. Bogans are a potential problem where ever a car show is but we've never had a problem at other shows, and I don't expect a problem here either. We should be on the grass on Sunday only (with hopefully the trouble makers kicked out before Sunday) The more people/cars we have coming the more likely there we be someone we know hanging around the cars anyway. Timetable for summernats attached Summernats_Programme.pdf Entrant advice (note we are not real entrants) but items 5 specifically allows for stock Nissan GTR's, item 8 talks about safest parking Entrant_Advice_2008.pdf

Not realy, as explained earlier a rubber line will over time expand with the pressure of the braking fluid the braided lines fix this problem. But unless you do lots of mountain drives or track work, you probably won't notice much if any difference. Saying that they are better and I have them.

OK who got Christmas presents for the skyline? I got a GTR cigarette lighter that glows :-)

OK I've got an extension of time till the 1st so if anyone else wants to come along they can. Ladybytes if you want to wait until the 1st to get confirmation on who's coming and what cars. I already have permission for Steady Eddy to get free entry with you as the third adult.

Just wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Keep em rolling but please no drink with your drive.

You were just to enter Kambah at the lights. I was behind you to the right talking to a mate in a gold/orange holden ute who was behind you.

Saw Shell today about 10 mins ago :-) Looking forward to seeing a lot of cool cars cruising around Canberra with Summernats. Someone take some pictures please.

I've emailed off the information with everyone who PM'd me. Ladybytes you had 3 adults where only 2 would get free entry so I explained you needing to care for Steady Eddy. If that doesn't work you are going to have to bring a 2nd car or dress him up in baby clothes :-)

Great to hear. Any change of a thread for wheels that will fit GTR's with brembo's (particularly R33/R34) with wheel weights, prices and offsets. I'm looking at 18*10 for an R33 GTR in particular.
