My car is set up for a bit of everything too. Jack of all trades, master of none

Hmmm, I was going to suggest Dyson Rotary in Melb'. They Express posted me one to Adelaide. Ended up costing me ~$160 in my hands. I've just had a look on their website & they list the 2line LT handset @ $190! Demand must've pushed the price up!? See here - http://www.dysonrotary.com.au/ASP/template...item=MICRO2LINE Dalton Automotive (also in Melb') list the 2line @ $160 See here - http://www.daltonautomotive.com/default2.htm

I could've selectively edited the threads, but it's just too much stuffing around.

Mick isn't exactly a hardcore drifter. Add to that a very powerful GT-R & I'd say he didn't do too bad.

~$150

Just a quick request for all SA forum regulars; The recent heated discussions are something we've not seen in the SA section before (not to any major extent) & I'd like to see things remain this way If another club wishes to post info on upcoming events then go right ahead. No prob's. If it’s your local knitting club get together then it’s probably better to keep that one to yourself If anyone has an issue with another persons post please keep the response constructive & refrain from resorting to personal attacks. If you feel the need to get nasty, please keep it via PM. Here’s an example that wouldn’t get deleted; “XYZ club has a scone baking day on the 10June03. All are welcome” Now say don’t like the XYZ club, or had a bad experience with them, your response to the post ( & to let others know) could read as follows; “I attended an XYZ club meet once & didn’t enjoy myself. I don’t think the XYZ club is my kind of thing. Thanks anyway” Hey I know it sounds stupid/gay whatever, but you get my drift. I’m just trying to keep our little SA forums a pleasant place to be : ) Group hug. Cheers all, Matt P.S If anyone has an issue with the thread deletion that has taken place recently, PM your concerns & it’ll ignore them & tell you the bugger off Naaa just joking.

Mick's GT-R had run 12.3 @ 122 (or thereabouts) so it wasn't exactly a dunger to be killed, if you can call a GT-R a dunger? I think we'll be seeing the car back bigger & better. Yep the driver of the R31 was bloody good.

Not too bad a day. Denzo doing a 1/4 track burnout in Mick's R32 GT-R was pretty impressive. Pity they cooked the motor

Yeah she was near stock as a rock when I got her ~3yrs ago. Sometimes the journey is 1/2 the fun. Sometimes! Nothing wrong with buying a car that someone else has already done a large % of the work for you. Mid/high 20's wouldn't buy an average 32 & bits need to achieve 11.3 @ 122+mph that's for sure. Nice buy Matt! Looking foward to see her in action mate

I've already gone to the trouble of aligning the rear camber as neutral as possible. I've lost count of the aligning sessions to get a good set up for road & strip. And I've fitted grippy rear rubber.

3puck button clutch with stuff all wear!

No prob's dude. Hell mate don't feel bad! I'm stoked we've (SA Skyline crew) got another seriously quick car in the ranks. Your new beast! Getting traction sorted is the hard part that's for sure. With the grunt your hybrid has you should nail a 12 even with a poor launch (providing it doesn't spin @ 1/2 track). Mind you Matty Lowth ran 13.1 @ 119 on his first pass (with ~320rwkw). With a bit of luck (& some practice) I'm hoping we'll both nail some 12sec passes on the 31st. Maybe even a high 11 for you? As long as our faces look like this - - at the end of the day I'll be satisfied. I guess I look at it like this, the longer it takes & the harder it is to achieve something, the sweeter it is when you do.

Mel has refered to her Jap transplant SR20 NEO VVL (200hp) powered Pulsar as the Poosar Flat 15's in an atmo 4cyl is nothing to sneeze at!

C'mon Mel you have to come! Bring the Poosar if the 32 isn't ready

Matt, Re NT555R's you're looking at ~$400 to 450 for 275/40/17, or a tad less for 245/50/16. I've been given a contact for Nittos if you're interested. Have a read here mate - http://www.nittotire.com/mainframe.asp

Matt will confirm I'm sure but I was chatting with Mick (Tilbrook's/ ex Subzero) who drove the car to its 11.3 @ 122+ & it was running slicks for that pass. Regardless of the above that mph is awesome. I'm sure Matt will pull respectable times on road rubber (NT555R's Matt - don't bother with anything less!) Roll on the 31st

Hopefully you can make it mate.

I've just done mine (rocker covers/cross-over pipe). I used a Black&Decker "Mouse" sander - cuts 50% off the time

The Microtech can probably do the same task? But as I like my old HKS EVC I've never bothered to look into it. Lazy bugger ain't I Ahh I like the challenge of doing it the hard way

Yeah 111+mph is better than a few upgraded turbo GTS25t's! My turbo has the potential to get me a bit quicker over the 1/4. 115.83mph on a 13.60 with 2.667 60ft shows this. The larger the turbo & the harder it comes on boost the trickier it becomes to launch successfully, unless you have very very good traction The nice progressive power delivery of the stockie makes it much easier to launch, or more to the point even with a so-so launch the car will still be quick over the 1/4. Take our 60ft's in my 13.0 @ 113 & Matt's (BOOSTD) 12.9 @ 111 - I actually have a quicker 60! (2.238 vs 2.247) But where Matt's turbo would recover quickly from the bogged launch mine would be still spooling up.

I run EBC Greens on the front (~$200+) & EBC Kevlars on the rear (~$90). Autobarn stock EBC. You can't actually get a Greenstuff rear pad for the R33/R32 range. I'm guessing R34 would be the same? Combined with RBF600 Motul fluid they are bloody excellent in spirited road use. They produce some dust (very minimal), but they do squeal a tad, what decent performance pad doesn't? The EBC site claims 'zero squeal', most of the time they don't. Read here - www.ebcbrakes.com.au Greenstuff - http://www.ebcbrakes.com.au/green.htm

That's either the best RWD 'street tyre' 60ft I've ever heard of, or it was on slicks? In which case it won't count in the HPI drag list Don't worry about the RT Matt. Doesn't effect the ET/TS.

Sold mine for $450 (~2yrs ago) to a mate.

What an upgrade Matt! Well done 11.317 @ 122.36 is flying! I think that puts the car very close to, if not on top, in the HPI drag list for RWD over 2400cc!? Matty Lowth ran his ~320rwkw RB30DET GTS25t a few days back. 12.3 @ 123+mph (2.3 60ft & slipping clutch) The mph on both Matt's cars is very close!

Ignore my S13/180SX comment above. But tell me how do you get an R32 GTS-t to weight only 1,240kg!? I'm sure they weight more than that!
