  1. Ohhhh god damn it Does rim weight really make that much difference? In our level of motorsport? Or is the difference of half a car length after a long straight, which would be overcame by 0.5psi of boost anyway
  2. I (over)paid $1000 with tyres for my 18x9.5/8.5 BBS RG-R's which are nice and light (I'm able to carry two at a time if I wanted to) and look the goods... Then there's guys complaining they can't afford real rims and buying a set of fakes for $800-900 PLUS tyres... Though... I must say, the fact there ARE fake copies, I think actually pushes up the price of the genuine ones so thats a plus.
  3. I always laugh when people try to charge ridiculous money for a set of wheels which are "Rare"... When it's an ugly as hell set of wheels in weird offsets, of course it's rare... No-one wanted to buy them when they were put on the market for 2 years in japan then pulled due to low sales, why does that make them worth more now?
  4. Bro switch to genuine wheels and you'll get 2 seconds easy!
  5. Ever been in Laith's Nissan Leaf? It's creepy quiet... Was funny at the motorkhana, we were trying to leave to do a run to the shops and people were standing around talking... he was 2m behind a group and they had no idea there was a car driving there. How is anyone meant to hear it backing out of a driveway / over a child?
  6. Few mates wanted to do a Vietnam Top Gear style Road Trip... They all ride road bikes... I don't and have said I never will, too risky... Almost got convinced to do it, would have needed to get my Licence here and get onto my P's before I could legally ride over there on the roads... Na, stuff that, I value my life... It feels safer doing 200+km/h at a racetrack than it is seeing a motorbike rider almost get taken out by someone merging, every time I drive to work.
  7. Nice, gonna drive it now?
  8. I get the feeling that this would have been a pretty fun class... http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/teacher-barred-from-the-classroom-after-49-complaints-20150427-1muday.html
  9. I don't allow selfie sticks anywhere near my car, save that shit for falcadores... Also, don't think it's a day with Passenger Laps
  10. I'm racing, so I guess I'll be there...
  11. I invited him to the next Sandown day when he asked about it... gave him all the details on how to enter... no dice, would rather just sit on the internet and circle jerk about power figures
  12. Not if you pay enough money to AASA... There is NO WAY we'd be able to get insurance for 4 people in a car with no helmets and 30 on the track at a time... but they classify it as a Cruise Event and it's all fine apparently...
  13. I'd assume your chassis is twisted due to all of the massive torques... hopefully its so twisted that a 33 tank will fit I'm just trying to get rid of it out of the garage, so take it and see, then it's your problem and not mine.
  14. Yeah, have a good condition R33 GTST fuel tank in the garage... take it away... just needs a wash since its a bit dusty
  15. Gearing annoys me in the evo, slow speeds or up hills in peak hour blows... constantly in the wrong gear... in the skyline I could just stay in 2nd and roll along even when traffic varies its speed up and down by 20km/hr
  16. I know right... Looks like they open the doors at Midday... Boss just called the salesguy and got him to man up and go, since he's in the bloody city today anyway...
  17. Side Note: Because one of the salespeople here at work is whipped by his ugly as hell ranga wife, and the other guy we have in the factory is quite religious, they are both quite opposed to going to do an installation of the equipment we sell (Scent Branding, Air Pumpbox + Aroma Oil Diffusers) at a certain new customer of ours. So... I'm off to a "Gallery" for "Men" on King Street to do this installation for them at Midday today... *sigh* Life is hard.
  18. I love driving my 7, just wish the previous owner had taken better care of it... Interior is very sparse, some parts of it look plasticy and cheap, but when you get up close it's actually decent construction. The Climate Controls really make it look a lot more base-model than it is. Torque when you put your foot down at 2000rpm in 4th is great compared to the skyline. Obviously it comes onto boost a lot faster, but you don't actually get to enjoy the turbo properly until you're in 3rd because of the short gears... I'm running 255's all round, so grip is good even with the nangkangs on it atm... When it does wanna get loose on a corner, it feels really weird, but never really gets out of control... Still able to 4 wheel slide in the wet if I dump 2nd out of a corner... Last dyno figures were 175@awkw but they were from years ago so its probably a bit less now. Considering dropping it into RTR for a touch up tune and general health check.
  19. BRB, putting a diffuser on my car which can't get above 60 without destroying itself because it's too static to be used as an actual car...
  20. Dat iPhone Battery Life...
  21. https://www.facebook.com/ViralThread/videos/607088836099629/ Best thing I've seen all week
  22. BMW Tax It's worse than Skyline Tax apparently... Mate just put on your pink suit and do it yourself... Get it a bit dirty and come back down to our level.
  23. Hahahaha, best.
  24. http://jalopnik.com/5090926/top-gear-builds-corvette-engine-powered-blender Plus, any decent Home Improvement / Tim "The Toolman" Taylor episode from when I was growing up
  25. Tell her not to use Odyssey batteries in it... I've heard they don't last very long.
