  1. nobody wants to have a stab at it? lol
  2. sell the line i reckon mate especially if its costing you money...later down the track when you actually do wanna get rid of it, it will be harder to and plus will get less for it. the jazz will be much more practical/economical for getting you around and would be much comfortable for groceries taking around your dog and so on. as you said the import scene isn't your thing anymore so once everything has settled down get your mx5 or something of the like. thats what i would do.
  3. dayum that sucks hard. feel for ya man. shit happens man so just gotta forget about it and just fix it up.
  4. any body ?
  5. omg i so would of came to this...got work 8 in the morning til 12...count me out
  6. just fyi thats a 32 type m front bar and not a aero option bar.
  7. grill'd is frikken awesome thats all i can say. inandos is nice but for the price i expect some frikken awesome stuff but it just isn't. grill'd on the other hand is awesome. the chips they have with their spices and selection of dips is top notch and the burgers are one of a kind. nandos just puts salt on some fairly standard chips but the chicken is good.
  8. hey guys this has been going on for a while and i really just want to know what the symptoms sound like to you guys. there might be 2 problems but anyway tell me what you think. - power will cut out totally and come back on after 1-2 seconds usually when car is running but some times power cuts out during idle and stalls. - when power cuts out the car will still be on but just no power at all when stepping on accelerator. - doesn't matter if car is warm or cold. - will happen once or twice during say a 30min drive. - car doesn't idle rough at all. will stay at 1000rpms when cold then go down to just above 900. - car doesn't blow out any smoke and if anything the car feels very healthy apart from the power cut out issue. - imagine driving off from a traffic light accelerating fast then all of a sudden acceleration will completely shut off and then will jump back on. i literally get thrown around in the car. very annoying. now i haven't done much to diagnose but i have changed sparks, cleaned air flow meter out, cleaned and siliconed coil packs just in case there is a leak, cleaned aac valve and changed fuel filter. doing this made the car run heaps better but hasen't got rid of the prob. will be getting new stock coil packs this week to see if that will change anything. also while idling the car will tend to how should i say... "pop" silently as i can hear from the exhaust. is this another prob altogether? now my questions is what do you guys think is causing this? does it sound like a spark prob? fuel prob? timing prob? air prob? electrical prob? some one suggested that it might be the fuel pump but it primes up fine everytime. could be a bad ground somewhere? i really wanna get it checked out but i don't know who to take it to that will not rip me off or tell me to get things that wont fix the prob. can someone in westside, victoria recommend me a place that know alot about skylines to check over the car? otherwise help is appreciated. thanks!
  9. how wide are the rims? if they are say 8" front and 9" rears you can put 235 45 17 front and rear or put 215 up front. did you want $1XX for all 4 tyres? or for a whole set? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BRAND-NEW-235-45-17...%3A1|240%3A1318 these are $100 a tyre in brooklyn just near footscray and strip old tyre, fit and then balance for $10 a tyre. these tyres are chinese crap though but will do ya. this guy on nissan silvia is selling nexens for your fronts if they are 8" wide for $60. still good tread could do ya for the time being. http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...035&hl=tyre then buy these for the rears http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2-Dunlop-17-Tyres_W...%3A1|240%3A1318 i know what its like man cause i'm a student too lolz. sometimes you get lucky through the forums with people selling tyres for cheap and thats when you should pounce. try and keep the tyres the same profile to keep the cops happy just in case.
  10. i think they might be work equips but if they aren't they look like sterns. no update on exact offset? so 9" wide front and rear? what size tyres do you have on in the pictures?
  11. how many kms on the coilpacks? arched yet? could you post up some good pictures of the sides? thanks
  12. ^^yeh true...thanks man...how bout some good ones around highpoint footscray?
  13. yeh but we always go there...i mean if all else fails then we'll probably jsut go there. any chinese/vietnamese/japanese recommendations at all?
  14. ^^^ ahahahaha thats so sneaky. it is just personal preference between euros and jap cars but seriously its also what your situation and conditions are at the time of buying a car that will determine the car you will be driving. but in saying that... i love japanese cars because they are the bang for your type of car. the new gtr is boxster money and you can only get the performance of a gtr in a porsche if you fork out a extra $200,000. cars will depreciate and are not the best investments so why buy something so ridiculously expensive unless you can. if i had the money to buy a porsche gt3 i'd buy a gtr and a investment property...but thats just me .
  15. hey guys i'm doin the last minute thing for valentines day lol and would like to know if anyone can recommend a good place that never fails for food in the western suburbs. doesn't have to be super fancy but something in the likes of lazy moe's, seared (highpoint) and blah blah blah. if it doesn't need reservations, is worth the money and it tastes awesome please tell! thanks guys.
  16. hey mate just wondering if your coilpacks were working fine in the car with no missing? arched yet? how many kms? thanks
  17. pmd u about the coilpacks? no reply.

    Defected

    damn guess last night was the night to get defected. went to willie beach and there was a few cops stopping people going down the main strip... was on a cruise with my friends and my friends no turbo 34 got pulled over but got let off because everything is legal. another guy we were suppose to meet there in his supra got defected for bald tyres, a supra sticker on his back window (obstructing vision) and exhaust. truly teh gay. cops always stuff the night up.
  19. fair enough...well +30 9" wides are the stock so a 9.5" -19 is pretty baller style and if anything abit much for stock gtr guards. i think 9.5" +12 would do it. some one correct me if i'm wrong.
  20. well for a gtr i think its best to run the exact same size/offset rim front and back due to atessa/4wd. to sit flush i reckon 9 +5 or 9.5 +18 or there abouts will do.
  21. hey guys my meisters are silver at the moment but thinking about spraying the rims matte black/gunmetal/dark bronze including the chrome lip. there is a picture that is encouraging me to do this as i love the look and this is it now are those sexy or what. what do you think of meisters this way? would like to do it to try something new and stand out of the crowd. i love chrome dish alot but i don't mind this sort of dish and its the reason why i like xd9's so much aswell when they have super low offsets. opinions?
  22. where are you from man? and what are the offset of the meisters?
  23. thanks for the pms guys....i forgot the main option that my friend wants...A R32 GTR!!!!! anyone with one or know one for sale for around $18000 let us know!
  24. hey guys i've been helping my friend search for his first turbo car and we've been having abit of a hard time. he wants to spend $18000 maximum for the car (R34 GTT or S15 Jap/Aus) as he needs to pay for full comp and the other things. so anyone selling one or know of one being sold? we've seen all of the ones on carsales and so on so after sau's cars or friends of friends. anyone wanna help out?
