Leopard maybe?

As the topic suggests im thinking bout putting 13b injectors on my car. from what I can tell its a pretty common mod. Not being someone who has played around with engines much, is this an easy job to do, do they go on without modification, being a toolmaker im sure i shouldnt have any problems if i have to. also around how much should i be paying for injectors, and would there be anything else i would need. everything else has pretty much been done on my car/engine allready, just still has standard injectors. .Looks like I wont have to store this bad boy after all, so might aswell put in some extra power to shut my mate getting an XR6 T up

hahaha good point. mind you if ford and holden kept loosing then it would be bad for car sales. Cant wait to see this thing race though, I can see it being the next DR30 or R32 GT-R in the history books

wow, I cant believe this isnt selling, its a bloody bargain, i think you are crazy selling it for that price. Bet you are getting some clowns asking stuipid prices for it, cos they have no idea. I know its not quite the same car, but I once had some idiot ask if he could buy my minta DR30 RS-X for $3000 Free bump cos its such a nice car. -
Nice clean looking ride you have there! Congrats

A mate of mine is looking at getting one of these behemoth whales. And wont shut up how fast its going to be etc etc One of the things that came up 'a stock xr6 turbo is quicker down a 1/4 mile then a R34 GT-R ' Personally I think the XR6 turbo, looks like its not going to be that quick, seeing the thing must weight around 2tonne? How quick are these things, say compared against say a R34/33/32 GT-R/GTS-T?? Is my mate just blowing shit out his arse, or do they actually go 1/2 allright

Dammit, my car still isnt back (f**king intercoolers *shakes fist*) otherwise I would of come out for a cruise

Was in plastics for the first 2 years of my apprenticeship (Trident tooling for the 1st, then NTS the 2nd), last 2 I have been working on press metal dies @ Clipsal, but now the last few months they have me setting/operating to fill in the gaps left by people they got rid of. Everything for my Apprenticeship has just been signed off with GTS in the last couple of weeks, just waiting for clipsal to pull their thumb out to put me on a tradesman before my official time finishes at the end of the year. hopefully not having years and years of experience will make it much harder getting elsewhere sooner rather then later where abouts are you working by the way? -
It looks like a major cop + thief magnet I would personally consider nightcrawler's proposal, If its the black sedan with gold rims I'm thinking of, His 34 looks more tuff in my opinion

I should of aye.. Currently where I am now they have me setting/operating some bullshit machines for production cos in their infinite wisdom got rid of most of their setters and im naturally dieing to get back into a toolroom. Right now the mines seem so enticing though cos of all the money and wanting to get set-up and buy a house and a project car like another DR or a Treuno that I can rebuild so i can learn how it all works. -
I have to say the same. My insurance with Just Cars was going to be 1300+, but they rang me back to say I can be classed as a rating one, because I had allready insured another car before. It got dropped to 950. so it was quite nice of them

Well if you know anyone in the mining industry in WA and after a toolmaker/fitter/machinist Im more then happy to come over and bring my ride with me. After Christmas I'm going to start applying hopefully I can find something fairly soon. mind you even if a toolmaking job in the big smoke paid enough money I would head over. The only thing that sucks your housing is really expensive in comparison to SA. are there heaps of other imports over there now? when I went over 4 years ago I would of only seen a couple of 33s and silivas, but heaps of some toyota sedan I have never seen in SA :S -
I agree with Ryan 110% I also have a loud and very bouncy car, but around well built up areas there may be cops I drive like a grandpa and have never been pulled over. and in a car that stands out a fair bit I would of expect to be pulled over at least once on a weekend, but has never happened. The few people I have meet off the forums and have seen on the cruises I attended you have all seemed like a decent bunch of enthusiasts.... but other skyline drivers I have seen on the roads seem like f**king tools, that have a skyline cos they think it makes them look cool.. I laugh at them when they get pulled over after they have been showing offs driving like dickheads....it makes it look bad for the rest of us that drive skylines.

Dr30/mr30 Gear, Sale Sa Only
benny_blanco replied to Blue Dynamite's topic in Classic & Vintage (1950's-1980's)
im interested in just the switches of the electric window, If they looked like the one in my DR.... Its the only thing missing in my DR and its pissing me off!!! hahaha I got given some but they dont match, I dont even think they were off a R series If you wanna part with just the rear switches let me know. but I would like to see a pic first to see they are the right ones im after. -
Atm its running 7 pounds. Just looks like any old turbo to me hahaha. Although the my bro's mate thats going to do my intercooler piping will know (he built the FJ sitting in the car now) The guys down @ the dyno/workshop had a look @ the engine, etc etc and worked it all out. They reckon it can run 18 without any problems. If it cant, I have told them not to push it that high.... Come to think of it, Im pretty sure Tom was running 17 pounds when he had the car. As long as its pushing 160+ at the wheels I will be happy. a few people reckon It could make 200, but i'm thinking thats abit ambiguous.
