  1. gotta love vahoumis' comments after beating wheirl
  2. thanx i always miss the start
  3. cheers mate, dmd in brisbane did the body and paint. front guards are +25. i told don not to worry to much about fit and finish as the car has had and continues to have a pretty hard life.
  4. my 32 gtst. forget the GTR grill. metalface style.
  5. Nice photo chop those 1970s jap old school grill and headlight combos still look super tuff (Skyline, Rx3, Corolla) but im not a fan of revisiting the past via the mustang/ camaro/ charger style revamps, which seem to lose the plot a bit.
  6. i have 18x8 and 18x9s on my 32 but the 9 inch rims dont have enough brake clearance for the front so you have to go with 8 at the front which looks crap (not enough dish and doesn t fill the guard properly). These wheels are cheap but im going to change em soon to get even widths front to back.
  7. scientifically speaking : woot woot = 1/2 rim size x (neon glo + airbrushed graphix) PS spinners have nothing to do with it.
  8. long time ago had a VR4 galant in NZ that flamed occasionally cops following me thought that was ok, but busted me for ride height.
  9. some times the queing at idle at drift practice days in the hot sun can seem like a very turbo unfriendly experience. Would shutting engine down inbetween longish waits be better?
  10. just had a RB25VCT/30 put in my 32gtst thought i might aswell post pics and point out that although i have heard of people using the RB25 inlet manifold we couldn t get it to fit under the (aftermarket)bonnet because the RB30 block sits around 40mm taller in the engine bay. So now my RB has a greddy manifold(RB20 throttle), which then necessitated moving the clutch master cylinder along the firewall closer to the brake booster. Also changed the gearbox to the 25 and changed the tailshaft. Trying now to get the RB20 ecu to run this setup with SAFCII(still considering ecu options), still alot of work to do however this should give an idea of how it fits in the 32 bay.
  11. the flat boot replacement is a cool look on a 33.
  12. As i understand it your problem is the cops don t like you BOV going atmo so you have a fake/blocked BOV in the original spot and your new atmo one hidden under your guard. Most people wouldn t worry about ATMO BOV noises, is the PFFFT noise really an essential part of cruising round. Im sure the marketing people employed by the BOV manufacturers would like you to think it is. Mate, everyone likes to have a car that stands out and expresses thier own individuality but sometimes you have to look at the facts and wonder is it worth being hassled by cops and sacrificing drivability for little or no reward. You could probably win the tour de france on a tricycle too if you try hard enough. PS i have owned and driven both aftermarket and standard BOV set ups and i currently use standard nissan one as there is no need to change it.
  13. the GTR legend is back, and so are the legendry tuners MCR & MINES. Could be very interesting at tsukuba lap battle next year.
  14. ***SOLD***
  15. There is no way i would want to sell my skyline, if you drive sensibly on the public roads, and appropriately for conditions you would have to be real unlucky to be the innocent victim of an overzealous police force. The last couple of times people have annoyed me on the road(tailgating) i ve been in a sh*tbox i borrowed while my skyline is in the shop-so f*ck the prius. Even if your doing 5 kms over the limit some wank in a 6litre falcadore wants your piece of road anyway. No one seems to want to get that close to my bumper in the skyline maybe they are worried about the cable ties holding it on. my point is everyone gets stereo-typed for the car they drive, and the media is always going to play on these stereo-types and in turn the police are pressured to act.
  16. rough copy of the D1 takatori autobacs skyline
  17. Clarkson starwars GTR thats gold.
  18. what is the easiest way to get the photos of your cars onto your pc (i have xbox live) do you have to upload them to the forza website then down load them back to your pc. GT4 on ps2 you could save them to usb memory stick. The best thing about forza is the car painting system you copy your favourite race/drift car paint jobs and then make a heap of in game cash flogging them on xbox live. Although i am finding it hard to finish the game cause its more fun racing on the net than trying to finish all the challenges in career mode. If our on xbox live and you like racing nurburg ring on A class friend me brent322.
  19. pics - sorry i think file size was too big for them to upload first time.
  20. Item:Plastic GTR Bumper & rear spoiler Age:old Condition:some damage to paint on bumper Price:$200 for both Location:brisbane city Contact:0419725318 Comments:pick up only
  21. What a euro automotive industry lap dog like Clarkson thinks about Clio V6 isn't remotely related to nissans future product line up. Euro hot hatches are a joke compared to their japanese rivals in terms of performance. If you believe clarkson the best car ever is the E type jag....mmmbullsh*t
  22. an R35 gtt would use the new body and lower power engine (still turbo) but without the 4wd attesa system. Of course this model would be japan only to keep all the "model has to stand by its self" people happy. Then in five or so years we could start importing them ex japan. Anyways last time nissan tried to sell GTRs in oz they struggled to sell 100 even after they totally dominated everthing in world touring car racing.
  23. havent watched jtc for ages will this car use a vq based engine
  24. good pics mate cheers
