  1. Totaly agree, too many people on the road who dont know what they are doing, from old buggers like myself who travel at 5 kph below the posted limit (always in the slow lane because Im never in a hurry) to young guys who are so awsome at driving that they drive so far up your arse so they can read your speedo from their car. The testing should be done away from other people as Ive seen first hand other people telling them answers. Also the rules are changing all the time so a bit of re-education is needed anyway. Dont get me started on driver education, how many of us were taught what to do when the car starts to slide or practice evasive action in a car, Drive to Survive courses should be mandatory, its not speed that kills people, its the sudden stop when they hit the pole-tree-wall-other car-person that may have been avoided with some advance driving techniques. On a side note there is a guy at work who supercharged a new SS commonwhore, thing is a animal, BUT, still with stock brakes and suspension, I asked him about what was planned for brakes and handling and he said it was good enough and he would rather spend money on making it go faster. If there is logic there I dont see it.
  2. Emailed and stuff, I hope I can make it, stupid work.
  3. DO IT, you can change the lights at the back, I had to remove the hicas light and the airbag light, easy as. And yes, its no good flying down the straight and not having any idea how fast your going, need that sh1t for the pub bragging rights.
  4. Pity I just bined a non hecktic cluster for a 33, so non hecktic that the tacho always read 0. New/second hand NISMO one cost me $600ish, Nissan owes us man. At least now the car has been reborn from a 198 000k old hack into a 42 000k hardly driven example (except for the 2000 000k,s of wear and tear of course). PS Your car looks sweet man, make sure you got good security for it, there is lots of scum around.

  6. Yeah Unigroup is building me a new motor which should be finished soon so a switch between maps sounds the go when its getting retuned.... I must look into this further....until then octane booster is it then. Happy Days
  7. Thanks mate, Caltex better hurry the puck up and start stocking E85
  8. As per title and description, Im not sure if this would work as the extra fuel used in E85 compared to 98 PULP. Looking at keeping fuel RON higher for track days to try and keep it ?safer?. I usually put in a octane booster. I run 800 cc injectors, Bosch 044 in tank and a Link ECU. I would run E85 on a safe E85 tune if there was more than 1 place where I could buy it in Sydney, but alas there isnt, and Im not that dedicated to get 44 gal drums of the juice. Thanks, Mark

  10. Looking for a new body to do up as a ongoing project for future use, all I really need is the body, clean shells only, not bent or with major rust, rolling shells with panels and glass are prefered. Dont ask me how much I want to spend, only ask what you want for your shell and we will go from there. Only in the Sydney region please. Have cash ready for the right car. Thanks Mark.
  11. Isnt Muffin one of the Power Puff Girls ? I bet her sisters dont know about this, that evil monkey dude probably put her up to it, fiend.

  13. WTF idiot. I think there is a company that makes Bride knock off seats there.
  14. Sweet, cheap stuff, 1 x Sydney 2173 I cheap stuff.
  15. I was told to keep away from them as they end up being a oil soaked rag which when in close proximity to heat can catch on fire, never heard of one catching fire but the idea is valid. Some people us the wrist sweat bands you get from places like Rebel Sport.................
  16. Ive told my daughter that she can give me this as a fathers day present, using my money of course.

  18. Raoul Duke: [Narrating] Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor skills. Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it. You approach the turnstiles and know that when you get there, you have to give the man two dollars or he won't let you inside. But when you get there, everything goes wrong. Some angry rotarian shoves you and you think "What's happening here? What's going on?" And you hear yourself mumbling... Raoul Duke: Dogs f**ked the Pope... no fault of mine.
  19. At least voting here gets a outcome.
  20. Another option is to put a GTR rear end in, roughly the same price as a center but you get the larger axles/half shafts, I did this in my GTS-T R33 and Im very happy with the results, you cannot notice the difference of it on the street to the stock one (no cluncks or skids on tight corners) but on the track it hooks up well and is very predictable.
  21. Welcome mate, enjoy your new ride, what have you got planned for it ? streeter-track hack-allrounderish. I hope you BOV is plumbed back in as the local constabulary with be all over you like white on rice if they hear it. You will have to come to some meets with it, Texi is like 2 weeks away, just make sure its tuned and serviced prior, or just come and watch all the action. Be good or be good at it. Mark
  22. Thanks guys, The speedo is OK as well as the Tacho, its the oil pressure and water temp gauges that I was more interested in, may have to bite the bullet and just get some after market gauges that are more reliable, and maybe one of those big f/off red lights that go off if you loose oil pressure (and a hektic fully sik boost gauge to tell me when Im cracking gate(seriously)) Mark
  23. Been told the stock gauges in the speedo cluster are a bit iffy accuracy wise, are the gauges in the Nismo dash of better quality/accuracy or are they the same ? Thanks, Mark
  24. Bloody rain made Mark scared, LOL. Best was a 1.14 with lots of sliding 1 x spin and 1 x straddling the chicane at the first corner after I preformed a overtaking move on a commonwhore who was giving me the dirts, I ended up sliding along at speed with the chicane in the middle of the car, front wheels on the dirt and rear on the road, I ended up back on the road spinning around like a bloody ballerina till I finnaly came to a stop, During this I was looking around for the said commo driver but he had found the mud and grass that I kindly left on the corner and speared of into the litter, I later found him mouthing off to someone in the pits to which I put my 2 cents in by saying that, "If you hadent tried holding me back and blocking me trying to pass you down the straight our little altercation would not have happened", his friends giggled and he mumbled something and turned around. So all in all a great day, hope its dry next time out. PS Turbo cars go better when the intercooler pipes are connected.
