  1. Jake, not had anything back on the other stuff so I'll take them if still availabale. Let me know what you want and where to send the cash.
  2. Needed for repairs for R32 GTR. Left front Guard. Bonnet. Front bar. Left Headlight. May also need fixed glass depending on damage caused by removal prior to paint. Call Deran 0402 829 091
  3. The top pic there Pete says no smoking, so glad you took it outside
  4. Nice drive the young lady has there. Hoping for a good season.
  5. Just some heat coloring mate. Don't panic. When you drive real hard, like at the track they go that colour all over. My guess is you've been having some fun
  6. And one for me..
  7. Just for you big fella
  8. And threatened to go to where the organisers live and drink ALL the beer in town.....for a whole year.
  9. Mine has all that less those couple of things and does over 250rwkw. Also need rising rate fuel reg. Plus for that boost level steel wheeled turbos is a handy insurance. I lost a good engine to a blown ceramic turbine as the crap often gets forced into the cylinder causing nasty damage. Additional to all other suggestions I recommend the timing belt/pulley bearings be replaced ASAP as well as new grade 8 bolts for the bearings.
  10. Welcome and good choice of ride. Feel free to deposit any relevant detail of your unfortunate engine demise in my thread below and looking forward to seeing the car with kiddy seat in a couple of months (when I crawl home to Brisvegas)
  11. Try maybe calling a few of our sponsors for prices????
  12. Time for some feedback. Ran this in the GTR33 at DECA against a couple of regularly tracked GTRs (and all the rest) with RE55S TT compound tyres. Conditions varied from wet to completely dry. Suspension is SK's Bilstein kit. While I didn't give it a full shot on the back track due to lack of recent experience I was a couple of seconds off the pace but felt really comfortable and stable with plenty of grip. On the pan it was good but with a few items to note. When I was low speed tight cornering with plenty of front adjustment (8) it would change from almost no front to massive amounts and even pulled me under on cone at a U turn. On slightly wider slow turns it would switch on and off a couple of times but the faster I went the better it was. In the wet I was up to 7 seconds faster over a course (apparently). At the end I came in 3rd by 14 points, but lost over 30 points due to stuffing about on the run where I missed the cone (not being fully aware of the scoring structure) so an outright win was definitely possible. So for the price I think no better value for money mod. Great everyday driving and good performance as well. Cheers Guys.
  13. Search for the Lakes Boulevard on www.whereis.com.au You turning up this time Shan???
  14. I'm not happy with the design of DBA slotted so recommend the RDA items. The original DBA slots went short of the circumference and result in a major wearing of the outer 10mm of circumference (as has happened on Roy's car) so they put a small reverse slot overlapping the long slot. Helps a little but still wears fast in that region as noted on some tracked GTR's. I won't bore you all with the long version. Also the Kanga paw is not aerodynamically or structurally sound in my professional opinion given the reports of failures and my analysis of the design. Perhaps it all stems from poor metallurgy. Ultimately the choice is yours but I think DBA market share is more advertising and novelty than actual product worth and recommend the RDA slotted or the new slotted and dimpled which cost a bit more. I have the RDA discs on my track GTSt and my GTR33 came with DBA slotted which I am watching closely. I don't track the GTR but still have cause to enjoy it. It still needs braided lines, decent pads and a master stopper to be directly comparable to the GTSt but the discs are the maor cause of concern in their wear characteristics. Pads will make the difference as well with racebrakes.com.au RB74 my choice for road/sprints. there are better track pads though.
  15. This has happened a little too often for comfort Jason and a pity it is too on such a nice car. For all those following this thread the cost of a set of bearings is just $130AUD they are a worthy replacement item at 100,000km service. Takes around 2 hours to replace them and the timing belt if the front balancer comes off easily enough. The balancer can be a real pig though. I recently saw a car also have the bolt break through the adjuster bearing. It was a cheap grade 6 bolt and not grade 8 high tensile so it's also worth grabbing a couple of those to throw in as well to be a little more secure. The damage caused is as bad as not running oil but so easy to avoid (not that this prophetic statement is of any help to Jase). Goog luck on the rebuild and let me know if you need help sourcing parts.
  16. For $90 on Thurs last week I went after Crays (but the buggers were too deep in their holes) and also got a full bag of 100 scallops. Then the fun bit was shucking them out. Mmmmm Yummy. Cheaper than restaurant, guaranteed fresh and i get to not drive too
  17. Since this is just hairsalon wank it's good you are coming to Melb for GP Rich. I feel it's time for the Bris to get plastered again
  18. No that's cool. It's no threat to me as I only started doing them for some mates, then to fill a gap due to the cost and availability, then to satisfy some people who wanted chromoly..... so you see how it generates it's own momentum. To set up each buy costs a couple of grand in material and chasing machining then time welding, cleaning and painting and finally posting, so I don't make much for an initial large outlay that hammers my credit card. Mind you though it would not be fair to get a huge number of people to pay up front then wait a month while I caught up on the orders. I prefer to see actual businesses sellling, but at a decent price for the volumes they can move. I'm just busy as hell right now logging dives to start SCUBA instructing, prepping a house for sale then moving to Brisbane so feel free to go to Greenline guys. If interest is still there I'll crank up another lot but sounds like the market has come to us for a decent price.
  19. Why so pi55y Ben? Last I looked this is the SAU forum and not NDSOC and I don't recall us advertising our events on your pages. Actually here's something real positive SAU VIC DRAG DAY Any other upcoming events for Skylines Australia - Victoria can be found Here!! SAU Vic has been described as more a social club......with cars involved so enjoyment is almost guaranteed.
  20. Update or BAN! And what tine is it starting tomorrow?
  21. Hohum! Big interest as usual in NDSOC events.
  22. At least start new useless threads to fill the page. Now there is a challenge.
  23. Ban.....inebriated whoring.
  24. GTRgeoff

    How Many Cans?

    You 2 are weak. Same house and post whoring to each other. Cats RULE!
  25. Cheers mate. Ally is nice but can't be seen. At least a repair is easier with a hose failure though. Does he have the full 4 pipe set from TT pipe to plenum?
