Oh yes, forgot to metion - I'm going to get an R32 gtst manual half cut.

crazy... i was just replying to your post in 'wanted' while you were replying to my post here.

doxximus Have a look in this weeks trading post - Holden Piazza Turbo EFI, 4 disk brakes, LSD, p/windows, reg RGA-746 $1500 (03) 93247501, (0405)427423 Dallas I was thinking about having a look at it, so you'd better get in before me!

Hey Guys. Has anyone bought a half cut in Melbourne before? I am interested to know any experiences (good or bad) you may have had. Even if you just know of a place that handles half cuts let me know. I know plenty of places over Australia that do them, but I would rather get it from somewhere local to make things like warranty easier, and also save money on transport costs. Cheers!

K-mart regularly has 15% off days (like about every 2 months or so). Just go and stock up on your Mobil 1 then, I don't think you can get it much cheaper than that. You'll have to wait a bit though, I think the last 15% off days were last week.

dude, you really need to empty your pm box - this just isn't working!! try [email protected]

Somebody give me an auto! Nobody's supposed to want them!!

Yeah, they're parked there in that same spot very often. I saw 'em yesterday. I drive past there every day on the way home from work. Nice collection of cars!

Oh dear! Surely someone in Melbourne wants a nice shiny pineapple for their old R32 auto transmission!?!

Unless you're planning a trip to Melbourne sometime soon, I'd better leave it. I wouldn't be worth the transport costs for a heavy transmission! Thanks anyway. Anyone else out there, hopefully in Melbourne, with a useless auto box lying around? Surely someone has done a manual conversion and doesn't know what to do with the old auto?

Are you in Melbourne? [edit] No, I should have looked at your location properly! (hoping to get one in Melbourne to save shipping costs) [end edit] Is $200 your best offer? I should probably be able to get one pretty cheap, as people have them left over from manual conversions and such. Thanks!

Anybody got an R32 auto box cluttering up the garage that they no longer want?

Yep, you're right Leewah. Here is the full policy (including Leewah's information) if anyone is interested... http://www.vic.liberal.org.au/Policy/road_...ety_policy3.doc I did have a look, and there is no road safety policy published on the ALP Victoria website. Cheers.

The Liberals have announced that they will remove the 3 km/h tolerance from speeding fines and replace it with a 10% tolerance rule (ie 6km /h in a 60 zone etc.) This is a damn good idea, seeing as the ADR's state that a speedo is allowed to be 10% out!! It's got my vote.

Raven: The trim panel on the bootlid is NOT the one with 'skyline' written across it. I beleive this is different to yours because this is a 4 door version. The instrument cluster was available, not sure about the surround. I would have to check that as well. Are you interested in the instrument cluster itself, or just the surround? Please feel free to email me on [email protected] with any further questions. You'll usually get a quick response during business hours. cheers.

raven: Sorry, wheels are gone. I'll have a check of the taillight for you, next time I get a chance. Please note - they are not the hotplate style lights. Just plain old square ones. cheers

Hi Guys, I've heard a few things about this, but wanted to just make sure... Has anyone used an R33 auto box on their RB20 R31 GTS-X? I have heard that a) The transmission tunnel may not be big enough. B) The wiring could be somewhat of a nightmare. If anyone has done this before, I would appreciate any information that might help me decide if it is worthwhile! -locASH

Set of headlights from an import R30 4 door. $200 Location - Melbourne. Can possibly get other parts for R30 4 door (L20 turbo version). If there is something you need, just PM or email me.

Well, the changes should probably make for a somewhat more interesting competition next year, which is what they need. They had to do something, they were losing viewers and sponsers in droves! The changes to rules about team orders, testing on friday before the race and tyres are defnitely good ideas, will make for better racing and should benefit the smaller teams. I'm undecided about the changes to the points system and qualifying - I think we may just have to wait this one out and see how good or bad it is. Removing Spa from the calender is a BAD idea. It's one of the best races, always interesting and more overtaking than anywhere else. Changes posted below: Qualifying - There will be two qualifying sessions - Friday and Saturday, both 13.00 - 14.00; - qualifying to be one (only) flying lap for each car, cars to run one at a time; - running order on Friday to follow Championship (previous year at first race), with Championship leader going out first, 2nd in Championship running second, and so on; - running order on Saturday will be determined by the Friday times (which do not count for the grid), so that the fastest on Friday runs last on Saturday, the second fastest second last, and so on. Practice schedule This will remain Friday: 11.00 to 12.00 and Saturday: 09.00 to 09.45 and 10.15 to 11.00 (with qualifying from 13.00 to 14.00 both days, as above). Testing Provided that by 15 December, at least three teams undertake to the FIA not to run more than 10 car-days of private testing between 1 March and 1 November, the teams which have given this undertaking will be able to test at each Event from 09.00 to 11.00 on Friday and may use their spare car and their test driver during this period. World Championship points From 2003 points will be awarded down to 8th place on the scale 10:8:6:5:4:3:2:1 - (previously to 6th place on the scale 10:6:4:3:2:1). Team orders Team orders which interfere with the race result are prohibited. The 2003 Belgian Grand Prix In the absence of unanimous agreement by the teams to run at the 2003 Belgian Grand Prix without tobacco advertising, this event has been removed from the World Championship calendar. Tyres Each team will be allowed to use two different dry tyres at each Event, (previously each tyre company could supply only the same two dry tyres to each of its teams). Teams will continue to be limited to 10 sets of dry tyres per Event. Only one type of wet tyre to be used per Event.

Mostly after the window, but for the right price... R32 Gtst turbo GTS-X transmission (auto or manual) Standard air box Front auto-spoiler and pretty much anything you've got... for the right price.

Wanted to buy: GTS-X rear drivers side quater window. Other assorted GTS-X bits (let me know if you have some!).
