p.s. Nando's are ripoffs! i got a burger + chips + drink the other night and they charged me $20!

i'm out again... working 4 - midnight... unless they put me on night shift again (they are talking to me about this later today apparently, so it's possible they will)

yes, but with an XU1, it is an appreciating asset.... i.e. if you restore one and keep it wrapped in cotton wool, it'll be worth an absolute fortune in 10 years time... just look at XY GTHO Phase III Falcons.... $400k (yes, $400,000) for an original one

most people don't bother, and drop in a 2nd hand RB25 box for the same price as it would cost to recondition/strengthen the RB20 box.... depends what your intended power/torque level etc is as to which way would be better for you

geoff, when you moving up here? would love to meet up and talk skylines and have a drink

Duncan, you have PM

i'm REALLY dubious about these things, purely because they are an unknown entity... they have not had rigorous testing, they are not proven, they are cheap, and (possibly) nasty... i don't want to trust my car/my life to something that is unproven.....

Mangrove Jack? they must've come down in price if so.... last time i looked they were around $120 for a fingerling

internode... after researching all the different companies, this one apparently has the 'best' or nearly the best customer service... fark... i'd hate to think what others are like then!

i don't see how changing to braided lines would help with fade resistance.... fade is to do with either boiling the brake fluid, or your pads not being of the right heat range and overheating basically. braided lines addresses neither of these. what it WILL give you, is a slightly solider pedal feel, as they will stop the line expanding/ballooning ever-so-slightly under hard braking. (though unless your standard rubber lines are very crap, you won't really notice the difference)

how's this for shit customer service... signed up on the 9th November. Their website states 7 - 10 days delivery and setup time.... i waited 2 weeks before i called them, incase they were running a bit behind, because i hadn't heard squat from them... call them up and they're like "um, oh yeah, there's no spots available at your exchange, you'll just have to wait... sorry about that" and they said it may be 3 or 4 weeks before a spot free'd up. I asked why they hadn't sent the modem/hardware out yet then, and they said "oh, we won't send that until the port is activated"? Yet another way to f**king piss customers off. waited another week and called them again to see if there was any progress - they go "oh, nah, no progress, except it could be up to 6 months before we get around to looking at yours" a couple of days later we get an SMS saying the account has been activated, and is ready to go.... it is now a week later, and still no modem, so i call them up and am like "WTF is going on?" and their response? "Oh, yeah, we're busy.... we ordered your modem yesterday, could be about a week away" f**kING SICK OF THIS SHIT have now waited nearly a month for this, when they claim 7 - 10 days delivery/setup time... i feel ive been very f**king patient, but if something else goes wrong in the slightest, i will be speaking with their manager and taking things much, much further!

on the phone with the hopeless internet company at the moment...

morning all.... i'm STILL waiting for my internet connection to be connected/arrive... it's been nearly a month now!

you could go with R33 GTS-t front rotors and calipers if you wanted... they are the same diameter (296mm) as R32 GTR (non-brembo) but are 2mm narrower in width (30mm as opposed to 32mm i believe). not sure if you'll need to modify your lines or not... it's quite possible though. to be honest, i can't really fault the standard R32 brakes (although with slotted DBA4000 rotors) on the track, with some good fluid and good pads, but i don't have as much power as you would, so it could be a different kettle of fish.

is anyone else's email notification completely f**ked up this afternoon/evening?

i have to go and get fitted for a suit tomorrow.... have my work xmas party on friday night

might have put a hole in an intercooler pipe? popped a hose off? put a hole in the intercooler itself? p.s. try to avoid gutters... they are bad

Didn't get a chance to use it... they must've piked... never came to my house

yeah, i'm alright.... hungry.... spent today fixing car (changing headlight bulbs ) and trying to come up with good ideas to try on doorknockers

zomg hi2u! i'm hungry someone get their bish to make me food

well, i myself was rather dissapointed in the group of 4 or 5 R31's who left together later on in the afternoon, and thought it was appropriate to drop a skid and bounce off their rev limiters on the way out of the carpark.... edit: "That's all i have to say"

not necessarily sullivan_a. i just replaced my low beams today on my R32 ('92 model) and they were H1's

ok, the current plan for these door-to-door people is i have a tin-foil pirates hat made, and if they are religious people, i will try and convert them to the Pastafarian ways!
