Damn man that sucks a$$ .... I had my 'S' Silvia front badge nicked just 3 weeks after I bought the badge (for $90) .... I don't park it anywhere near shopping centres anymore!
U can't import them anymore dude .... they got a few non-turbo ones in before the authorities caught on (pre 1999 models, as they weren't released here) but I believe importation in any form is no longer possible - in fact you cant even bring in anything that could be reassembled here .... they got really tough on it!
Name: Andrew
Car: Pewter 200SX/S15
Loc: North East
Job: Property Valuer
Stuff I enjoy: cruisin', draggin' (legally of course), beer, my wife, puters, movies, music, blah blah blah (in that exact order )
Sorry Matt take me off the list .... I haven't got any of my proposed mods done cos I've been too busy so there's no point running (since I ran a couple of weeks ago) .... will definitely be there though for a look!
Sad to hear it Matt .... that's a horrible 'end' to one beautiful car! Hope this doesn't really end your involvement with SAU, as you are only too well aware its not so much about the car you drive, but rather your attitude toward having fun the counts!
I wouldn't worry about any on that list .... but watch out for S15 200SX's .... I only have Trust Power Extreme II zorst, pod intake and a bit o boost (11psi) and I run 13.33 @ 104mph in full street trim .... wait til I get a cooler and Power FC for some decent tuning (running so rich atm its not even funny!).
Traffic was still banked up all the way to Park Tce at 2:30pm when I went through .... thanks for the warning Enrico, I turned off and avoided a really long wait!
I'm not impressed with all of this at all .... except for Matt that has a serious family emergency, it's not fair to say you'll support something then back out at the last minute. It bodes very badly for future events and where will we be then? Why go to all the trouble of organising something only for people to say they're going to turn up, then back out at the last minute. (And I wasn't even involved in organising anything btw).
/end rant
Hippy - I have enough traction issues already man without losing a couple more hundred kilos on the rear end .... but I will hopefully be fixing that soon with a Whiteline handling kit
Matt - Stickers for an event are cool (I might even be in on it too) .... I'm just not a big fan of the whole 'look at me, look at me' all the time, plus it would draw unwanted police attention, I'm sure.
So what was the verdict, should I (or is anyone else) gonna look into the Autosalon display thing?
hehe yes each to their own Timmay .... I know there are plenty of people out there that think S15s are POS, but not eveyone likes the same thing!
Speaking of R34s .... http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...asp?StockID=322 - my dream car!
Grepin, sorry dude I think I'm confusing you with Freebaggin (maybe) - when we had the dyno day at Tillbrooks with the LS1 lads there was a R33 with an RB26 in it and it was insane ....
Gotta agree with John there .... whilst you can definitely appreciate the 'heritage', it's like looking at a posie of flowers next to a pile of dog droppings .... in relative terms of course
Phat 33 .... I didn't put his car down man - just said the stickers suck ass .... take it easy dude - take a chill pill. I am allowed to not like his stickers - sheesh.
As for it now not 'looking like a Silhouette' - hrmm I think you're getting R34 confused with R31 - they haven't made a Silhouette since about 1988 (to my knowledge).
It was a compliment dude - I dont think we could even get a rwkw figure for your car cos it kep wanting to jump off the freaking dyno!?!
And an apology to Munro - of course Johns insane beasts shoulda been listed first .... apologies John!
I saw Phuman the other day .... I agree with the sticker comments!
.... idea - we should enter a pile of Skylines and mebbe a little 200SX in our own display and do a Skylines Australia display to rival SVD I wonder if u have to be a bona-fide club (not that we'd tell em we aren't anyhow) Then we can go in the dyno shootout (if there is one) and see how we go. Would certainly blow away some of the efforts I have seen at dyno shootouts previously. Mmmmm get MattR's 300rwkw+, Matt Whatsisname's 260 odd rwkw, Grepins *wtf* rwkw and we got some serious competition for other clubs!
