Ooooh do you have her back yet mate? PS sorry I missed your call yesterday - I am having difficulties in making and receiving calls thanks to Vodafail.

Hah I wouldn't be expecting any track brilliance from me at the start - only overtaking would be on the straight. Will have to see how I go, the other one is very close to my Thailand trip. (yep poor me )

All still for sale! Please no more low ball offers, I'm firm on the actuators. For those doubting the price, some examples are found here: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HKS-SKYLINE-GTR-RB26DETT-ACTUATOR-UPGRADE-KIT-/130480524399?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e613ecc6f http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HKS-Heavy-Duty-Actuators-Nissan-Skyline-Rb26-R32-33-34-/140458973872?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20b401dab0 These have done f**k all k's on my car, only sold due to issues with the way my boost controller works. Even the GCG equivalents cost around the $350 mark. If you think you can find them cheaper, good luck! Hope they're genuine.

I'd love to have gone to this. Unfortunately it's also the same weekend as Powercruise and my nephews first birthday in Newcastle so I have to give it a miss I'll be very keen for the next one!

Haha yep the $500 a corner is what I don't have right now I believe they aren't on tirerack because they're not available in the US. I'll be honest, if I fork out for the Federals now (same price as the KU36's right now from Option 1 Garage) I don't give a shit if they wear out in 6-12 months. I don't even care much what costs me more in the long run, I just have other priorities and right now I need tyres that will get me by. I should add, the GTR isn't my daily, mostly gets driven on weekends. I should also add that hopefully in coming months I'll also have 10.5" TE37s to be putting rubber on as well so bit more thought will go into that.

Actually reminds me, I saw a Bayside Blue R34 GTR on Gungahlin Drive bout 6ish.

Thanks guys appreciate it! Very interested in those Bridgestone RE-11s. If I don't go those next time they're certainly a shoe in for the next lot.

I noticed the lack of wave thing too!! Feel unloved!

Yeah everything I do in terms of tyres, suspension and braking requires considerable thought now Option 1 Garage do a very good deal on the RS-Rs too. Grip isn't currently a problem on my RE001s, just now that I'm looking at a bigger tyre and given current circumstances they're a little expensive when people seem to be getting good results on these types of tyres. Just trying to make sure that they aren't going to be a death trap without warming them up first.

Should add this is for a GTR putting out around 385awkw.

Ok I know similar questions have been asked before, I've searched and yes I've been going through page after page of http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/72923-tyres-you-used-and-how-u-would-rate-them/ I'm still not sure which direction to go in. So long story short, my front brakes are in a shabby state so I decided to upgrade them to an AP racing 6 piston big brake upgrade etc. I knew it was going to be close but unfortunately they don't fit under my current rims (there was a bees dick in it, very unlucky!). So I've had to source some wheels, I have a set that are in an 18x9.5 that have big caliper clearance. Anyways the tyres on them are looking a bit poo for my liking. For a start they have 255/35R18 and they are stretched. So I'm thinking the best thing to do is to put a 265/35R18 on them. But now brings me to the question.. Which ones. As you can see I've outlaid some cash recently and while I know skimping out on tyres isn't ideal, I just need something to get me out of trouble for now. I was tossing up between a Federal 595RS-R and a Kumho KU36. Seems to be a lot of people on both sides of the fence. I am particularly interested in which one people think runs better when cold. For example, if I run at the drags I don't want to f**k around doing burnouts and shit that's not my thing. So far my RE001s are coping well with the job but they're too expensive for right now. Please let me know what people think, and if there's something else in that price bracket that I'm not thinking of. Thanks

Being at a servo did it get captured on cctv or anything? Surely they'd at least have his plates.

Spotted a silver R33 GTR on Homebush Bay Drive last night bout 10:30, I was stealthed in our Audi so I didn't wave

Bump!

Bump Intercooler, actuators and fuel pump still available!

Some areas of the cotter aren't too bad but last time I was at Honeysuckle I wasn't impressed with the quality of road either. Much worse than Kings Hwy!

I can't do, will be at BDO

LOL maybe I had mine whisper it when you weren't looking I've given up. My only prerequisite is that I can make it from Canberra to Sydney on one tank of fuel and I'm doing that easy.

Pffft, fuel economy is over rated!!!

Awesome pics guys! I hope to make it to one of these one day

Look on ebay or call around to some Jap car wreckers around the place.

Sorry for bailing guys, hope you have fun! Have a migraine so just a quiet one for me. Pizza, sleep and panadeine!

Thanks mate! I'm also very keen for the SAU WSID day I'm heading up on another Wednesday night early in Feb. Looking forward to it. I like corners but this straight line stuff is strangely addictive too.

No worries, 5 is still fine with us we have nothing on afterwards. Yay for bumpers! Haha never actually tried it that way and haven't been in a reallllllllllllllllly long time. Going to be fun!

Big thanks to Matt for fitting me in when I'm in town Can't wait to see the pics.
