  1. What? Against some idiot police prosecutor with half an education?? Vic traffic cops = morons + disgrace to public uniformed officialdom. Pity as my mates that are real cops suffer the public backlash. They have their own nick for them. Jury F*CKERS.
  2. I'll swing by Sunday. Do we have times? When is the 'Dome being run?
  3. Steve, I'll check but if they suit it will be worth your while plus the postage mate.

  6. Lots of work to convert for non vct, welding, machining, possibly cheaper to regrind GTR cams Talk to Bass Junky about the adjustable adaptor for VCT.
  7. How'd the intercooler outlet hose go partsboy Gotta be pissed, did DECA struggling with power and no punch out of corners only to discover the IC outlet is split and limiting boost by 20%.
  8. Take witches hats and a stopwatch
  9. Currently chasing the intercooler outlet hose for a GTR33. Is that available?
  10. Whiteline do adjustable bush kits but you maye need inner and outer sets to correct that much camber. Must be low to the point of too low. I have a video of GTR34 rear suspension working and there is a massive change in camber over the whole suspension range, especially at the limits. Too low isn't ideal for the best handling.
  11. Justin, sounds like you have a problem other than the actual suspension that the current setup hides, but is exacerbated by the action of the Bilsteins. The art of matching spring (for supporting the car weight in a flexible manner) and damper which controls the interaction of the car and wheel in order to maintain tyre contact) is one that takes years to perfect. There is never a right setup for all conditions, so you go with the best compromise. If you are more about track then stop stuffing about and get the race suspension offered by SK (not the street stuff) and make no compromises. Your issues seem more about road though and you have to expect that a car that's a bit older will have more rattles and squeaks, and the addition of new suspension that is working perfectly may (will) make them more noticeable if it is a sports type suspension. I have a dedicated track car which is uncomfortable to drive on the street and will become more so, but also have a GTR33 that I still drive daily only 6 months after back surgery. It was so uncomfortable that I ditched the Apexi height and damping adjustable suspension (quick point, all skyline shock/springs are "coilovers" not just the aftermarket stuff) for SK's kit, as specified by him and revalved to his requirements. Lets face it, we'd be hard pressed to find someone who knows more about suspension setup, and certainly it won't be the guy at most alignment shops. While the ride is still sports and good enough for me to go play competetively against our quickest runners at DECA it is still a joy on the streets with massive front end grip over the previous setup. It also reduced the number of rattles and squeaks. This is what it was: from here so maybe measure yours up and see what the rates are. Certainly whoever specced this kit was on drugs, but it used to be outstanding for sliding around the skidpan on road rubber and good for nothing else. I haven't bothered to learn just how the valving differs in SK's kit or what the spring rates are.What makes you comfortable is important though, but it seems odd that there are a few quick drivers that like the Whiteline/SK stuff, so I'm interested to learn more about your setup and get some insights on your driving style.
  12. But at least the vaue will increase....... All the best guys.
  13. Gotta agree on the old mazdas, back when the company had some cred. Murray Coote was in my club running a 323 Familia GTR in QRC/ARC with the big turb and hand built engine, plus a variable torque split. I'd still love to garage one of them. Mazda have become a company trying not to offend anyone, but still pretending their cars have go. Eg the RX-8, the best thing can be said is it has great handling, which is just code for it's gutless.
  14. Active AWD is Front/Rear 100/0 - 50/50 so still a FWD based car with the inherent shortcomings. Don't know what you're talking about with the el'driftloser focus on the marketing Shan Basically, still just a current crap shopping trolley Mazda tring to hang onto the success of their only real zoom zoom model - the RX-7
  15. Dropped to $1000 ono. Surely someone wants these.
  16. You put it on eBay after I (and possibly others) expressed interest, which is totally uncool, but I'll watch and make a last minute bid if it's going real cheap, considering the outrageous amount you want for postage. I might have offered advice on removing the wheel, but now only after I buy it Also, the R32 GTR brakes (Sumitomo) you are offering there are not suitable for 33/34 GTR as we have Brembos that take a larger disc. Also need 5 stud hubs so won't fit R33 GTS and any other 4 stud vehicles. I also don't believe R32 GTR front hubs will fit RWD cars but maybe the hubs off the GTSt you have will be available. Those calipers are no different to R33/34 GTSt/GTt except allow a slightly thicker disc and currently sell for around the $300-400 mark for a pair. Just hope that helps before someone buys them and finds they won't fit straight up.
  17. Nice that you got the A-LSD sorted Paul. I know one of the wank tuners in Qld had the detail but refused to part with the knowledge That thing needs a foghorn and battle station sirens Dave......
  18. Junky....vids or BAN!!
  19. Sorry Caz, I take that as even though it's club policy not to speed or drive dangerously on the streets during club sanctioned activities, because people do it anyway then we shouldn't reinforce our position and attempt to continue the education of our members. Some would suggest our silence would be an admission of allowing or encouraging such activity when this is simply not the case.
  20. Damn, if I hadn't fooled around on that one skidpan run victory would be MINE!!!!
  21. I'm not a big attender for cruises so you will have to be a little more detailed. Certainly Speeding isn't condoned on cruises and this was never about modifications, just stupid driver behaviour.
  22. Yep happy with the condition of the wheel, I'll take it if you will COD .
  23. This can be common on the track when the rubber boot is split. Scotsman lost heaps at PI through here, but with ess aggressive driving would occur over a longer period with less residual. Just replace the boot with a standard item from Nissan and you'll be fine.
  24. Snowie, see post 9....
