sad to hear paul as its truly awesome.. kudos to you for building a circuit/street car.. will be interesting to see where your modification limits are set and how far you can push them 8 sec is just not long enough to spend in car with that much time and effort put into it..

afm's definatly do this.. and its a common problem... you can get brand new z32 afms from various suppliers on here for around $300 each... you'll need something to run them, like a safc... but you'll never have the problem again.

by gosh.... i think you are on to something there, watson ol chap!

aslong as he doesnt wrap it around a tree... there are always buyers for a gtr with a blown engine... i hope i see it on ebay for $5000.

since when?? i feel like i dont know you anymore fatz... you enjoy 4wd skylines, you have a camp prado, you drink "nice brew"..

if i had $400... id pay it for you to see the damn pics already!

boy oh boy... what to post... do i help... or do i flame?? first.. a question... why are you just taking the car around the block?? from experience... its because you dont have a licence at the moment and you are getting antzy.. to really feel the boost... its better in 2nd gear.. the gear ratios are better and your max speed will still only be around 120km/h.. which if your doing the above question.. wont really matter unless a kid steps out in front of you.. the sheer velocity of doing it in 1st is hard on the driveline.. and your top speed is only going to be 60-80, not really worth it if your going to be an idiot in a surburbian street. and the answer is dont knock it back into neutral... at 8000rpm, its dumping in enough fuel and timing to support the load and pumping enough oil and water around to handle the conditions... then when you knock it back to neutral, that all dies off... the engine and turbos get incredibly hot due to the lean running conditions when its all shut off like that, all that heat has nowhere to transfer to as the water pump has returned back to idle speed and the head now has copius amounts of oil floating around and none in the sump. the turbos are still spinning at 70000rpm and the oil flow goes from lots... to not lots.. so the not lots of oil in going through the extremely hot and still spinning turbos is going to overheat and lose its lubrication and cooling properties, at worst possibly carbon up and clog or restrict the galleries in the turbos another thing to take into consideration with the gear ratios of 1st gear is the engine braking... if you punch it in first then let the revs die down, its so abrupt that it throws you forward in the seat, it can nearly lock the back wheels just by stepping off the accelerator.. its not good for the clutch, gearbox, driveshaft, diffs... etc.. so your best bet... if you really must do it... is get it rolling in 1st, punch it in 2nd, clutch in and then change to 3rd or 4th to let it wind down by itself so that everything is in check.

Thanks Champ!!! the coat of arms was where i was leaning towards... as there is not much else that pops up via google search.. great to hear that they are good.. ill check em out.. maybe this time next week ill be in a reasonable amount of pain.

love the grey and white combo... but damn you need some rear camber arms.. that is shocking.. there is no use for that much rear camber..

fair enough... no booze! haha. gotcha. its the only place i want one done... so i gotta grin and bear it.

ive narrowed it down to 10 fonts... have sent it to the boss for her to narrow it down and then ill make a final decision... it wont be an uber fancy font and its easily accessible. im a pretty ticklish kinda fella... is getting it done down my side going to hurt like hell or just be a wierd sensation?? i can handle hurt like hell more than a weird sensation, or should i liquor up before hand?? haha. also... while your there.. as im a newbie... how much roughly would i be looking at?? one colour... bout 10 lines..

thanks blitz... that would be great.. im going away next week. bit of a catch 22.. i would like it done somewhere reputable, who puts care into their work... but id also like it done while im away on holidays to bring something back with me.

guys... next time if you require some empathising from fatz over your financial situation... please refer to it in X amounts of cartons... it will save a lot of time. 200bux = 6 cartons and a 6 pack. mwhahaha.

hey guys, going to bellingen for a few days and am thinking of getting my first ink... just wondering if anyone knows of a good one in coffs harbour area?? nothing fancy, no big sleeves or lots of details, just a few meaningful words in a nice calligraphic font. cheers Linton

fatz .... do a halfajob?? never..

nismo cluster, nengun, $1000 thereabouts.

OMG!! PICS WITH WHEELS ON PRONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 FAPTASTIC DUDE!!!!

marlin! white! hands down!

fair snuff... i think the r32s look better with 17's.. lower and longer. but its hard to go past r34 gtr rims. its amazing how good the standard r32 kit looks with a few neat addons like the aero catches and the ganador mirrors..

car looks hawt roy... i think with the addition of the r34 wheels you'll have to lose the wang..., it looks great, but its too much 34 in my opinion, and the wheels tromp the wing.. or get a r324 kit and be done with it wheels look porn mate, especially with the new paint great fitment. have you got spacers on them??

hes a cock.

those friends are up there with the "one uppers".... the ones that no matter what youve done, theyve done it bigger and better. haha.

great to see it being driven hard... kudos to you for a great effort.

married.. pfft... its a mere obstacle... find the boundaries and push em i say. haha. go for it! if hes a red blooded male... you shouldnt have too much trouble... we are fairly simple folk. are they the mcleods daughters of the music scene?? if they make it big.. i will buy the single.

"uuhhhhh boss..... how many holidays do i have saved up??... i think i might take a few weeks off.... starting from now"
