CRoNic...

Yeah still got the bouncy thing there!

Oil change is a must at the bare minimum!! And don't forget to disconnect the CAS (crank angle sensor) and manually crank it over a few times to build pressure, since it hasn't been started in aaages.

+1 to that. 10k for a stroker kit? f**k me.

Mine does the same. Can't be bothered to get it looked at. I'd say it's the solder behind the dash or something.

Holy shit, a Group A R32 GTR? http://www.powerplayimports.com/includes/c...php?make=Nissan Near the bottom

And here's my "Holy Shit that's a pretty decent car that Uncle Daniel would love to have in his shed" links for the day: A what?! http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4727 Love the Cosmo: http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4719

Spotted my favourite R33 with a GTR badge slapped on it on the boot, on Genfell street this morning... the GTR badge isn't even in the proper position! It's closer to the boot lip. Has a huge HKS sticker just above the exhaust but wait... it's now for sale!! Don't go rushing to the banks too quickly now.

Speaking of Go Karting, anyone been to Greenhills lately? Yes I'm 21, but I only went there a few months ago lol. The go karts there are beyond slow. You can walk faster than them. So me and my mates were just clipping each others tires and ramming into each other, because when they're that slow, why even bother racing? We got kicked off pretty quickly. Man, Greenhills used to be awesome with the BMX bikes and stuff. And then the big bad Insurance company came in.

I'd be down for Go Karting.

Different yet f*cking so much more expensive for what you'll achieve with half the price if you ran a turbo. I'd sure hope Cara has deep wallets. It's like my mate, he want's to put a RB26 into a Supra and then make it have the GTR's 4WD system... and I said "Why?!" it's just so expensive. But that's a whole other thread... It just makes me think of all these people who have endless wallets who decide to go down the show car path, and modify the shit out the car (LCD's in the engine bay, etc) but to achieve what? A trophy? Play table tennis and you'll get a trophy.

Mine: Owning my first car - a little 1985 Mazda 323 2 door. Had some form of engine swap in it, and it was turbo and f**k that thing went! Kept up to most WRX's at the lights and scared the shit out of most people with it's overly loud BOV. Was such a sleeper. Got bogged a few times at 4am on Moana Ended up selling it to my mate, who thought he was a pro rally driver and cracked the chassis. But owning a 32 GTR is right up there, too. And in my area, it's quite an achievement haha. Me and my group of Southern mates have 'fully sik' gatherings at Macca's at Noarlunga on Friday nights and each time, the group got larger and larger with a huge range of imports (180's, a Leopard, R32's, R33's, etc) and now a 350GT has joined. After that, we venture into the Southern hills. Love getting looks from people when driving the GTR, even had kids hanging out the car window in front of me taking pictures lol. Rocking up at mates places and get the "Oh shit! You own a GTR?! Take me for a spin NOW!" and the "Can you drop me off at Uni one day? I just want to look cool getting out of a GTR" lol. Even though the car is getting old and needs bits repaired and stuff, I love it. And Dan, how the f**k did you pay for a GTR with cash?! You saved for years?

Just put a turbo beanie on it or even a giant heat shield over it and explain it's just a plastic engine cover that came with the car (aka most new cars)

pure gold, Saphire. Yeah, cops out in force tonight! Lock your Lines and Kids up!

I wonder if a T04z can be hidden

Krishy! Noooo!! Cops are out in force tonight + last night due to Adelaide Cup, etc.

Jason Gilespie: "You don't need to warm up your car. Warming up your car, in my mind, is a waste of time if you're running Castrol oil" Good on ya, Jason. (that was on a Castrol commercial just on)

Amen to that.

Have a crash and fiberglass shards will fly everywhere. Not pretty.

I've been charged at some magical rate for only those 2 days compared to the rest! And when I say magical, I mean... stupid. Called today, got through to a Aussie (hooray) but... got told "those charges must be legit!" YET he couldn't even tell me at what rate/why I've been charged extreme amounts for those 2 days! It was normal internet usage just like all the other days - not in roaming, etc. Everything else EXCEPT those 2 days has been rolled into my data caps. Now it's been raised with the Billing Investigations Team. Sounds fancy but lets hope they know how to do their job. Edit: and yeah, blah blah blah this is a car forum... but we're all family here.
