  1. avcr. why? because i have one i like the profec's because they can fit din slots rather easily. that said, i put the boost controller in the glove box and forget about it.
  2. i'd like to think they wont drop to 20's within a year, but with insurance being a bitch, increased police awareness of performance cars in general, the 15 yr old rule still undecided and compliance seemingly being difficult for under 15yr old models - i think its a difficult thing to predict. what is obvious to me is that with the under 15yr old rule, of cars needing to be returned to stock, a nicely modded import *should* hold its value...but again thats being sceptacle...
  3. yup. its not a bad lookin unit
  4. about 40k? but it came with a ER34 skyline too
  5. trust dd cat back exhaust it is a loud system, but not overly loud. my silencers were either stolen or fell out!
  6. you are all neglecting a few important things from the usual petrol and oils ... insurance registration brake pads tyres my running cost works out to be about $1000 NETT a month. this comprises of a $33.5k car lease + budgeted $5k a year worth of running costs (all aforementioned ie. insurance, servicing etc) my car has ~200rwkw and averages 13L per 100km
  7. can i suggest another thai place? its on anzac parade in kingsford/kensington (never could tell the difference) and i think the portions are slightly larger, slightly better tasting and slightly cheaper? it just doesnt have the same relaxing atmosphere and the bottle-o next door!
  8. some people can't afford gtr's arent happy with the look of gtst's........theres nothing wrong with that.
  9. get on kazaa and download "mtv cribs". its an mtv show which explores lifestyles of famous american's houses and cars .... usually sports people, rappers/artists etc.... missy elliot is a farken champion. she has a green gullardo, a blue 360 modena and a humvee with 20 something inches....her showcase is her custom made ferrari 355 bed.......those guys live in fantasy worlds....
  10. i get funny noises coming from the turbo after running my car on more than 0.7bar after a few squirts... r34 turbo's, plastic compressor wheels = the suck
  11. its a GTR marss i think that speaks for itself :devfu:
  12. you may get to see his appreciation when you get your invoice for the work involved to fix the problem
  13. so is it decided??? a re-run of EOM March dinner :D
  14. 15-20min max? you are dreaming mate... i thought changing front brake pads was easy so i timed myself. 1 front wheel took 15 minutes.
  15. "in" and "turning up" are two different things, can you please decide duncan?
  16. :2 thumbs up: for Orchid Thai @ Abbotsford (where the last dinner was at) :) - CHEAP, but VERY NICE thai food - great service - lots of parking on the road & quiet - dining is on the footpath, so cars are viewable - great atmosphere and there is the bottle-O next door not that car parking is a must, id rather a good atmosphere, cheap food and nice dining to a big viewable car park...
  17. tune AND install? how long do you think it takes to wire up one of these puppies??? id budget atleast 2 hours for an install @ $70/hr thats $140 already before touching it?
  18. http://f1.tottoro.hu/2004/02_malaysia/18_q...qlf2_webber.avi awesome stuff....oh the noise!!!
  19. i just wanted to clarify that the accident on the F3 was not a car related to SnS, it was a toyota echo or something.
  20. wheel fell off! ouch! accident would've been anytime between 1:30 and 2:00pm..i got past it at around 2:20pm...
  21. some 300km's later .............................. looked fantastic guys! well done to all of you involved for a successful event!!! it seems as though the day went very smoothly and the heavens didnt open up as it ominously looked to have early on!!! was well received by all which is a great thing!!! so from the words of antonio samaranch - this has been the best SnS ever!!! :
  22. sweeeeeeeeet!!! what happened to that car??? did it lose control going over those ruts on the road for the bridge???
  23. yup, that is she i was only at SNS for about 30 minutes because i had to leave at 1:30 to get to windsor...the accident on the F3 threw my timing out badly though...DAMN IT! thats your car next to me? and yeah, it looked like it was a great day, good to see the rain clouds stayed away!!! that gibson bnr32 was AWESOME.
