  1. Another great idea, keep up the good work.
  2. I like the torque curve to see where the power comes in and or drops off. Torque is what makes the car go. My boat has the torque of a big block, 650nm and about 600ish at 4000rpm if I'm remembering right. I loves the torque.
  3. Torque curve ?
  4. Before a track day or every 5000, its never seen more than 2000 though.
  5. Im using them on R34 GTR seats (reclinable), they hold you well and with the harness on trackdays you go nowhere. The harness can be fitted using the parcel shelf with a reinforced plate which works well. Im pretty sure if you crash hard enough to bend the seat a harness will be better than a stock 3 point.
  6. Nice, happy days for all. Awesome power is awesome
  7. A Skyline on Moorebank Ave tried to overtake a turning truck into work today at about 2:30, he got on his horn and yelled abuse at the truck driver, the Skyline driver obviously didn't see the huge signs on the truck or its blinker, the people standing on the corner did though. It's not just the truckdrivers that pay no attention to the road laws it seems.
  8. Tyres are the best performance upgrade for your car, people go on about eBay shit being bad then skimp on tyres. The only thing stopping you from putting your power down or crashing is the tyres. Hard cheap tyres are for taxis. Review. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=EP
  9. 120 or GTFO
  10. Low is slow
  11. Every man and his dog has gold rims, I vote option 2 but in matte.
  12. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSearchResults.jsp?customSizeSearch=&width=245%2F&ratio=40&diameter=18 Shipping has never cost me more than $350 to Sydney. Takes about 1 week to get to your door. So far I've had Dunlop Direzzas Z1 Star spec and Hankook Venus R-S3 from here, excellent service and it worked out half the price for the Dunlops and $400 cheaper than anywhere in Australia for the Hankooks. The savings are only worth it if you buy high quality tyres though, but then you are getting top quality tyres for the price of average ones anyway. Yes I am a tirerack fanboy. Shop smart, Shop S mart.
  13. How much are you prepared to pay for a tyre ?
  14. Australian tyre suppliers are sad because because they think we should pay through the nose for tyres, I've had them say all sorts of rubbish, you will get old tyres, they will be sub standard, when in fact the tyres I've got from OS have had newer build dates and are half the price for the same tyre. You can get top quality tyres delivered for near on half the price of Australian bought tyres. Thankyou tirerack. Shop smart.
  15. I have a roll cage with a harness bar, but you can use the stock front mounting points and the stock rear mounting points, or have eye bolts installed for the front and fabricate a plate for the parcel shelf. And it can be used on either side mate.
  16. http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/index.php Thanks to Kudos
  17. I ran 25mm hubcentric spacers on mine, needed to have the guards rolled though running under -2 deg on the rear, the R34 GTT rims are recessed to accept spacers no problem.
  18. LOL, I'm 46 and have been playing with motorbikes, car engines and bodys for 31 yrs, but go for it, it will be easy, you can do it, welding is easy, safety isn't that important, if you wreck it just buy another car, enjoy.
  19. I've never paid extra, all purchases were under $1000.
