  1. I've driven on them on my old housemates car. So I am speaking from first hand experience. When RE001's are a mid priced tyre, last 30-40k km, and grip fantastically wet and dry, I don't know why you would put shitty 595's on it when tyre's are the only thing keeping your car to the road, irrelevant as to whether you use them to their potential- emergency braking is never planned! You would think someone who owns a GTR wouldn't be scared to spend an extra couple of hundred for better rubber. That statement isn't accurate. You have listed all 'street' tyres above 200 tread wear... Fixed it for you
  2. Personally I would put a fresh RB26 with 2860-9's in your car, and sell your existing motor or head. -Response(you are already talking about twins) -Future support for more power -WIll be a near standard setup, so good if you don't want police issues(do you plan on going to interstate tracks?) -Most shops know how to build a solid RB26, and the aftermarket world is full of parts. You COULD build a 2.8 RB26 with 2860-5's, but traction could be an issue... What is your budget for wheels/tyres/brakes/suspension? Check the class regs of which every class you want to race in before you build.
  3. +1 I would never put 595's on my car
  4. In the gc8's there is a combo you hold down to bypass it, how else would dealers move the cars? I assume that is still in place, and hence they are no harder than another vehicle of you know the code.
  5. It's WA, what do you expect? Home of the worst drivers I've seen in the country !
  6. isnt your car german?(not the 1200)
  7. Hence I recommended getting a shop to check the motor and normal GTR trouble spots The newer the car the more of a pain to check IMO, and he was fine with my BMW, as I mentioned. As there isn't any "Stateroads" over here, he is your best bet for paint depth, and the rest. Check a sample.
  8. he mentioned. people put M badges on everything these days, or there are m sport packs A real Z4MC has the M3 engine etc.
  9. Z4MC, or mates Z4? traction comes in handy... my old 32GTST was useless until 80km/h + and yes, the factory exhaust on the R32 gold sounds better
  10. http://www.a1autocheck.com.au/inspections/inspection-descriptions with Paint depth analysis. Being mobile is handy. Did my BMW and did a great job. I would look at doing that, and a workshop to check out the engine/trouble spots. Yet to see a workshop do a great write up.
  11. Flat spot is the tune. Cool packs break down. Of you can get new OEM cheap, do it now, has to be done at somepoint and means you aren't risking a tuning session. Pumps: nismo or bosch Cat: got a highflow item? Ebc: yes, gizmo are good value. Air filter: new highflow is $50, check yours. O2 sensor? Has it been replaced? Dunno if your tuner will touch closed loop anyway.
  12. And that, is why I avoid cruises with pubic meets ;-) Not hard to do "PM for location".
  13. R32 golf? been wanting to 'compare notes', i had to make the decision in purchase...
  14. Does Dsg chip second? I replaced my Stagea with a 130i. Black. Msport. 195kw. Needs an LSD. Euro ftw!
  15. Remind me closer to the date? Cruising in an NA is going to be embarrassing.
  16. Ditto.
  17. Do you know off the top of your head what tints he uses?
  18. i sold mine with far more mods for 7.5k a little over a year ago in melb.
  19. G'day, Has anyone used either of these two, and if so, which would you recommend and why?

  20. Dan?
  21. Destination? New to Perth, new to owning a BMW, not new to "fun" cruises and turbo nissans... -Ryan.
  22. Shit, good job! Gives me hope that i might do the same at some point. Being sole income makes it a bit hard, maybe once i buy and pay off a house.
  23. lol, need cash for an LSD!
