GTR R35

Is it the GP or the south circuit ? I am yet to have a run on the full GP config and would like to. Thanks

I have a Video of that car from FDD1 doing a burnout while driving at over 120km/h up and over the bridge at Oran park. I think it had FLYBYE as its number plate. It was the most amazing car I have ever see drift.

Its right near westfield in chatswood on a thursday night....... Should be fun:mad:

well done. Cya all tonight

Duncan and anyone else, you had better put yourselves down in the calander as there is only Merli Abo Bob mmmgtir Bobsgirl Blitz 4DoorGTR + Wife Endorean oldcodger

I will be attending as I am keen to try the famous spring rolls I keep hearing about. I will confirm with the minister of war and finance if she will be attending.

If he was in a general duties car, you have a good chance of getting off. If he was by himself, you have got a Great chance of getting off. I have been done twice for speeding, both by GD police and got off both times in court. Make sure you write everything down. I have even filled out the court election in front of the cop 5seconds after she gave it to me !!! The magistrate will look at your driving record and the cops experience. If it is your word against his and he has no traffic experience, you will get off. It is worth the effort for 4 hours in your day. They will give you the cops statement and your driving record before you go into court, so you can highlight the inaccuracies in his statement and shoot holes in his statement. Cops only make a couple of lines of notes after they write you out a ticket, so they tend to forget the details after 6 months when it comes to the court apperance. Fight it

I will bring you a copy

Great, we have a decent crowd. It will be good to cya again B-Man

bad news is the cops are going digital over the next 12 months, this means you will not be able to hear them

JimX, All I can say is take it to court. I was zipping through the backstreets of Gladesville when I noticed far behind me a car trying to keep up. I was in my brothers WRX at the time and I could just make out a paddy wagon about 400m behind. I pulled over and these 2 fat ugly chicks got out of the PW and told me to get back in my car. I am 6'5" and said that I was fine standing up and what was their problem. They said I was speeding and that I was gonna get a ticket. I asked how they measured my speed and they said they had a radar......yeah right, I asked to see the radar and that PW are not fitted with calibrated speedo's. I was being a tad obnoxious and the next thing I know I had 3 other cars speeding in from all directions. I was shocked as I was not aggresive, I stayed leaning up against the car the whole time. Anyway, I got a ticket for 15-30kmh, as soon as they wrote out the ticket, I borrowed their pen to fill out the court election. They were not impressed..... I went to court 4 months later and the prosocutor dropped the charges as they knew I had all the ammo I needed to win. The cops will give you all the police statements and your driving record before you go into court. These 2 DUMB ass cops had conflicting statements, they had followed me on different roads for different distances and even got the car colour wrong. While I will admit to exceeding the speed limit, I was not reckless. While we must adhere to the road laws, the cops must also adhere to the laws. Take it to court, you would be suprised how easy it can be, make sure you write a statement and get all the details about where you were stopped and what an angel you are on the road. Get some statements from reputable friends who have been in the car when you are driving. Other Cops, doctors, judges, etc are great ammo. Have a go, if you loose you will only have $45 more to pay. Winning the court case was just reward as both cops were there and were not happy when I won.

Merli, Can you also add my wife. Thanks Mal mmmmmm......steak:wassup:

I was pricing the car as $60k. I also faxed them the details for the car as they had not heard of this model, or anything about the Stagea. I expect they would now offer a better deal now as there would be more of them on the road now. I did get the quote in Jan '04, so I guess things have changed.

I called every insurance company including Famous, NRMA, AAMI, etc. and EVERYONE said "whats a Stagea?" I faxed them all details on the 260RS and they all said NO CHANCE, except Just Cars who put on about $5k in excesses if it was stolen or crashed. I also did not have a lockup garage so I could not get it...period. All the finance companies wanted a 20% deposit and were offering 13%p.a when the normal is under 8%. I also think $60k for the 260RS is a bit steep, it should be under $40k, but then a guy on this forum was trying to sell one for a $100k last year. Motorman imports have a 260RS (I think) that I was looking at and it is a really good example, although I am not sure if they have compliance. If you want one get it, they are still the worlds fastest wagon under $100k, and nothing would make a HSV driver cry than being blown away by a wagon that looks like a ugly volvo.

I have a new XR6 Turbo as I did not like the way the 260RS deal was going. No insurance company would touch it except Just Cars and this was a $3k quote (30yo> rating 1 in sydney.) Also finance was difficult. I am happy with my purchase, but I would swap it for a 4 door GTR any day, but not a 260rs as it is a wagon. From all the research I did, I found that the 260RS 1999> is a R34 running gear, but with a 5speed from the R33. The car has ATTESA and brembo's and also has the VSpec diff. You will be happy if you can get one.

I Voted for R'nR in Manly, as it will be Thursday. Cruze to Palm Beach sounds like a good way to burn off the 500gm Lazy Aged Rump that I will have for dinner:wassup: That is if the skylines boyz can keep up :looney:

So, is it Ribs'n Rumps ? If so Manly or Gordon ? Ta

Marlin, I thought your idea would involve a Dyno run and not an actual run at 300km/h You would be able to get a good estimate on a cars ability to reach such a speed by using drag co efficient and some smart software. It may not be 100% but I would think close to 99%. If it is a driving event I would still be interested.....I just need to work out how to bypass the 230km/h limiter the car has. The APS Phase 3 Falcon did 307km/h at avalon

Ribs and Rumps is BYO for wine only. If you have not been there before and you love MEAT, you will want to go again and again. I have had my company christmas parties there twice in 5 years

Can anyone point me to a good mobile car kit installer. I am on the northern beaches and I need to get a kit (i already have) installed into my wifes car. We want to get the screwless installation done as we do not want holes. Thanks Mal

Yeah, sorry guys I did not realise it was only Friday-Sunday. How about Ribs n' Rumps http://www.ribsandrumps.com.au/index.aspx . They have THE BEST steak and chicken in the world. They also have to outlets, one in Gordon and the other in Manly It would rate as my top pick for a great place to eat.

As I suggested at the last dinner, there is the Austrian Club that does German Food. They also sell german beer:cheers: The place is cheap and cheerful and the food great. Details here http://www.austrian-associations.com/index...les/Page690.htm Its a pitty the Malaya in north sydney is gone, that place was great:headspin:

BOV that vent to atmosphere are illegal. Things that people get failed for include: Pod Filters, Big exhausts Car too low (100mm is the lowest point on a car) Pillar mounted gauges oversized wheels tinting too dark Wrong globed in headlights (blue is illegal) neons This is just a indication on the type of things an import may be failed on. I have not mentioned the normal stuff like tears in seats, emissions, faulty lighting, worn steering/suspension, bad brakes, non compliance tyres and oil leaks. Make sure the car is clean and the engine is steam cleaned. Also check the globes all work. When I used to do inspections, if there were globs blown or obvious problems, I would always have a closer look.

I would travel within capital city to use it I would pay about $150 per run, although my car is limited to 230km/h I would not let someone else drive it unless it was a dyno Would only expect one run as it is not a tuning run it would put a huge stress on the car
