I did the most recent one (wasn't 2013) and I finished up in the top right corner. I am the 0.000001%?

I've vouched for Andrew many times from Kudos, it's pretty much where I go every time to buy a new Nissan part. ....which is often.

Moh, my car is working.. it means the universe is shifting right around behind to f**k you in the ass instead of me right now.

Fark..... Birds. hahahahhah

Hi Folks I have a Garrett GTX3076R for sale. I bought it for my engine. It turns out that was a poor decision, and it was too small. It literally has gone on the car, to be run in, and tuned, to find out "ah f**k, this turbo is too small" So it's done like 5000kms. If that, really. Prob way less. It has no shaft play or defects of any kind. I'd say it's as good as new, but really it's better than new, because it's been tested and confirmed to work and will make an honest 400rwkw on a manual on E85. $1400, or tempt me with offers in PM!

Hi. Selling R34 Brake Calipers and (somewhat rusty but probably machinable) Discs Note: These are 310mm fronts. 296mm rears. Note: They also have 14mm bolt holes. Note: You drill out whatever else to fit. They came off a Series 2 R34 which was in generally really good condition. The silver colour is actually from factory. Looking for $400!

Truthfully, get Scott to make one, and then alter your setup to make it fit right IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF it doesn't. It will be far easier and a better solution to do it that way, and re-adjust your setup to fit the scotty pipe if there's some part that is out by 2mm here or there.

I'm not saying it's not "an" issue. But it was a headline election promise to stop the boats. It may be a side effect of how little Australians genuinely have to worry about.

http://www.factsfightback.org.au/does-australia-take-the-most-refugees-check-the-facts/ The numbers are out there. We're not the worst, but we aren't exactly a humanitarian open the floodgates, bring in your sick, poor and frightened beacon of welcoming respite for those in need.

"dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries" Our staunch resistance to immigration makes other people view us as Xenophobic, when nearly every other country in the world takes widly more refugees/immigrants/boat people and it's not an issue (or not nearly as big an issue) for those respective governments. We kick up a huge stink over what most would consider an absolute non-issue.
-
Australia is notoriously tight assed when it comes to taking in refugees and ahem, boat people. Like wildly so. We're really Xenophobic by comparison. It's one of the biggest beat-ups in Politics, it's right up there with running two intake mods murdering small children according to ACA

I specifically bought them thinking I'd get that much wear out of them. Got dat alignment multiple times in that time frame for any change to make sure they last the distance they just..... didn't
-
but but... I got 7500kms on my NT05's driving like a pansy...
-
Why? (srs question) Longevity? The NT05's are just touching the indicators in the center now, on the sides there's maaarginally more, but barely enough to catch a fingernail on. Where else to go for alignment duties? TT always been nice to me, but heard a few things now...
-
Nah, ever since I got the rears put in, I noticed it felt really tail... 'rolly' as though the weight balance was 99% front, all the time. But I supplied the struts and springs to TT, as they came off the old car. But stupid me didn't really think about the fact that while the fronts came off my old car, the rears struts were swapped, so the setting for rear height was lost when that happened. Did give them ride heights but as they (TT) figured they were swapping from one car to another they didn't need adjusting. I had no idea the front sway was basically removed from the car via kinetic force. If it all gets fixed up and it still feels weird then I dunno. Car didn't have that behaviour on the springs it initially came with, nor did my old car with the exact same setup. but I'll probably blow my engine up again between now and when its time for another alignment
-
Working side (for reference): Damaged side (for lulz): Note: I did not notice this occur. It happened some time after traction tyres installed the castor arms and replaced inner tie rods.
-
This is a new shell. Yes I meant the hankook RS3 sorry. If they are equiv, and $250 a tyre, well.. that's some coin saved. re: My suspension I hit a kerb, hard. Damaging a wheel, and bending a tie rod end. Got that fixed and wheel repaired and new castor arms. all good. Went under car, noticed the bracket I don't know the name of (what the front sway bar bolts to) has literally snapped off in half. So that's nice. No idea when that happened. I also asked TT to set my ride height at 350FR and 345R height. It felt floaty as FAAARK in the rear and I just blamed it on hicas till I actually measured the car and found the front is 330mm and the rear is 368mm. So yeah....
-
From what the internets says, the Hankooks go for $250ish and outperform them, the AD08R's go for something like 350 unless you find a deal. Almost bought the guy who was selling 2x for 500 awhile back (ad08r's) Just knew my rears were worn, but on the indicators after 7500kms on NT05's was.. yeah. I suspect the Hankooks last about half as long as the AD08R's. Hence the query about them before HWP says HEY MATE BALD TYRES OFF TO DEFECT LAND and which they would be correct to do so.
-
Nah. Was at scottys. Found out I had 3 bald tyres (1 is brand new and just replaced, woot...), snapped/bent steering/suspension components.....again.. and my exhaust idea had to be massively revisited for another time.
-
Entirely possible, but was under the impression ventus were waaay more pricey, like, on-par with the AD048R Given the echo chamber that is VWL, sometimes self-conversations have the same content
-
Looked under my car when it was on a hoist bad idea such a bad idea also, are AD08's still hugely pricey? like $350+ per tyre pricey? Why not buy Ventus V3? Seem to be $250 a tyre and from all accounts grip better After my NT05's lasted 7000kms I am now sad.
-
Maths, really. You find out how much power you're making on a dyno, and then you think "Whats more likely?" Injectors too small? Fuel pump not up to task? Upgrade the part which is more likely, or realistically, wildly update both before you upgrade the turbo

Staggered Nismo Lmgt4 On R34 Gtt
Kinkstaah replied to Nismo34R's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
The offsets will fit especially if you stretch the tyres. I have the same (+33 on the front) on my R34 but mine are both 18's not 17's at front and 18's at rear. Also my wheels are LMGT2's... so far as 'same' they aren't really. But the offsets are. I also have 275's on the back with no rolling nor flaring. I'd wager they can be made to fit even if they're slightly too big.
