  1. Yeh i heard over the last few days that they have been tuning on an uncalibrated dyno, i alos heard about unsatisfied staff. Just wanted to know if its hearsay or fact. I suppose its all irrelevant if boostworx are cheaper and do better work.
  2. I think that says it all, Boostworx for performance and reliability.
  3. Has anyone had experience with Tillbrooks lately? They dont seem to have any decent cars in their lately Are they what they used to be?
  4. Are you insured? If so just give the insurance company the number plate details and they will do the rest and get on with your claim. They are pros at screwing people for money Also get a copy of your report to the police as it will be required by the insurance company.
  5. Can i please get the details on bcnr33 005760. Any help much appreciated.
  6. Having driven all and owned two 34 gtt's i would say the gtt for a daily and the gtr if its just for fun. In close to standard form they can be a very comfortable and economical daily driver. I had an auto first and that was a bit thirsty but the manual was much better getting around 650km on the highway and 450+ around town. As stated earlier they respond better to mods than an s15 and lack the higher maintanance required by the gtr.
  7. All PM's replied. Latest offer was $24,000 less than an hour ago so i am no longer negotiable. The only way the car can be yours now is cash today or a higher offer. All parties stated that mine was the cleanest R34 Gtt currently available for sale in Adelaide.
  8. 1. Its a spider 2/3 the size of a skyline. They dont remove weight from the car at the expense of safety, that is against all design rules and engineering principles. The only difference is there is much more of a crumple zone in the front end which will absorb frontal impact more effectively ie not shoving an engine through the firewall at your legs. 2. Look back and see when airbags came in, check the saftey requirements of seat belts between 1993 and 2003. Increased technology determine the positions for crumple zones for better shock absorbtion. Your friend in the suburu had an accident and hit his head, why is he more likely to hit his head in a smaller car? No seat mounts will not help in a front collision as there is no force against the seat. No it does not sound cool that your mate hit his head though it had nothing to do with the weight of the car. There will be more overall inertia in a heavier car, not because of the the position of the engine. With a mid engined car there is alot more room in the front for shock absorbtion. 3.Stock for stock the mr-s is more a performance vehicle than the gtst. Lets start with the mid mounted engine for a better centre of gravity, shorter wheel base, very decent sized brakes for the 1000kg vehicle it is. It doesnt have a roof because it was not designed to have one, not to save weight. If you think you are protected in your skyline cos it has a roof then you have obviously never seen a car land on its roof. A roll cage will benefit any vehicle that suffers an impact to its roof. Lets face it 300kw in a gtst is not as stable as it is in a gtr(the real performance variant of the skyline). With its weight you would not need 300kw to make it a weapon that would be overkill and beyond the vehicle standard limits just like in a standard chassied skyline which is also not suitable for 300kw. 4. Yes the s2000 is a performance vehicle, why is it safer to be in an s2000 than an mr-s in a collision. You state that the s2000 has a more sport oriented chassis which i already know though how does this help when you are already out control? As for light cars being less safe and or rigid check out Smart car crash tests done by topgear, it should be on you tube.
  9. By the way, thats a tastefully modified mr-s you have there. Congratulations on the purchase.
  10. 1.Maybe you can explain how the mass of the vehicle impacts the structural rigidity of the vehicle? 2.How do you determine that a person will go through the windscreen of a vehicle due to its low mass? 3.Dont you think that the highly engineered safety features of this particular vehicle would surpass those designed for the R33 skyline, thus preventing a persons head from making contact with the windscreen more effectively than a vehicle designed/produced 10 years earlier? 4. How is an S2000 any safer than the mr-s?
  11. Has anyone been yet? Is it any good. My husband and i have been disappointed in the quality of shows over the last few years. Wonder if this will be any different.
  12. Thats a damn good point, i should have thought of that. Cheers for the input, do you wanna buy some cheap cd's? :laughing-smiley-014:
  13. I tried to put a list of cd's/dvd's together today so that i am prepared when i go in. Its a hell of a lot harder than i thought, i have a list of 30 so far that only came to a grand total of $630.00. I think i will have to go some old school tunes as well just to top it up. Anyone else win anything unexpectedly?
  14. Oh no, i forgot my grammer on this "grammatically correct" forum.
  15. Its quite clear now that you have realised that you can not afford to own this car. That is good and it shows that you may have a grip on your priorities. Aside from the fact that you were unable to afford this car in reality its seems that you have $25,000 in the bank with which you can can make wise investments eg property(maybe keep saving for a while and take advantage of the cheap rent at the in laws). Congrats on actually saving something as most people these days seem to finance everything 100% with no deposit and a high interest rate(a lot of people on this forum probably owe more money on their car than it is worth). Make what seems to be the hard decision now and invest in your future not cars. With a bit of patience and a few wise decisions you may be able to afford that dream car in the 10 year plan(maybe earlier if your smart with your money). Be one of the smart people who has has a couple hundred thousand in equity in their property in a few years time and plan some more investments. This might all sound like a crock of shit to you right now but in a few years time you will be happy that you took some advice way back then. Do what most young people dont and go to a financial planner nad get some guidence on how to make it all happen, take the advice and put it into action and by the time your 25 you will have left most of your mates behind. Your on the right track just try not to get distracted along the way. What ever you do, make sure you dont finance any cars as its the worst decision most young people make.
  16. It should be judged on power/weight ratio. Its the only reasonable way to govern which vehicles P platers will be able to drive. I cant speak for other states but that is what has happened with the reform of motorcyle licensing in SA. Before a learner was only able to ride 250cc or under though it never used to state particular models ie. a learner could ride a 4 stroke 250 road/trail bike or an aprillia rs250 two stroke road/race bike and both were legal. Now there is a whole list of bikes upto 600cc that learners are able to ride though anything with a high power to weight ratio has been banned from that list regardless of engine capacity.
  17. I dont think i would put anyone through the pain of listening to that rubbish. Then again, each to their own(just not at my expense)
  18. I have been such a tight ass lately as we are in the process of setting ourselves up to buy a franchise so this is a nice reward to help us keep our sanity along the way.
