Tempting... Will have a look at their samples (yes - a good excuse) and will think about it. Maybe we could get a double-action twin sister thing going with the 2 purple GTRs

You guys are making me feel like a V8 Time for a tune...

Saw your car on Toorak Rd on Sunday. Waved - but it was empty

Yeah - have to go speak to Sam

400km! Bugger. I'm lucky to get 250 around town

Mine are factory fitted. Pretty sure Nissan replacements are about $2k each - not cheap. You can get HID kits from these guys: http://www.hidlights.com.au - but I think it is a bulb conversion, not a gas-discharge unit as on the GTR.

Cool - sounds like a nice way to spend Saturday arvo. The dirty lamps have been bugging me for a while. I'm in South Yarra. One magazine once said of the Niva "Great off-road, best kept there" Is loads of fun - just a smidge underpowered though. Very nimble - high angle of entry and exit.

canada: Wow - nice Macguver work How did you get the hanger end inside the lamp fitting? Did you need to take them off the car? Seems there are a few Xenon GTRs around now - we should have a mini-meet

Looks great! The more 33Rs the merrier

Canada: Try my trick... GTR for fun, Lada for camping. Will go anywhere your Rangie could - all for $1500

I have the same problem on my lamps. Can't see there is any way to open the lamp unit for a clean

What sort of economy did you get? I was getting about 390-420 a tank on that run.

Cool - I smell convoy! Will be taking both cars - Lada will be towing a 180sx and carrying the BBQ

Congrats! Sorrento cuise is a good idea - stay tuned to the events listing...

I"m heading in with BMT boyos. Also going to Heathcote on Sunday.

I agree. Golgo sounds great at 6500rpm in second... oh wait is that a police car? The Lada can be nailing 5000rpm in 2nd and still be doing 40km/h

Wardest - Best. Silly. Thread. Ever. Most enjoyable reading I'll buy you a beer next time out

Great thread Ed! 12 years old: Was pushing my cousin down a hill in a billycart. I let go. He turned sharply and stopped in front of me. I was still 'momentuming' down hill and ran straight into him. Nice sharp right-angle piece of wood (thanks saftey-grandpa for that little gem) hit my leg and gouged out a 10cm x 2cm gash in my shin - right through all the skin and muscle and stuff - to the bone. I couldn't feel a thing (torn nerves) and was OK until my cousin (who's now a cop in Perth) poked it with a stick and it made a 'clunk' noise - like the sound of stick hitting bone - then the blood gushed forth like the closing of the Red Sea. I'd like to say I was brave and dragged myself 20kms though the bush to hospital - but I screamed and mum came I still have a wonderful 'impress the ladies' type scar and cannot feel a thing in that part of my leg. Lucky I don't need to dial a phone with my shins that often...

You've got to remember, you can't just buy a Skyline in the US like you can here. The ones that are imported have to face a $25k US compliance cost on top of the purchase and shipping price. Only one dealership in the entire country can handle this (Motorex in Cali). They love them over there. Skylines have this 'supercar' aura - basically because they can't get them. Lots of people are modding Hondas and such with bodykit and lamp conversions. They just WISH they had the car availabliity we do. Aus 1 - USA 0

Probably Jet outside a strip club

I used a good double-sided tape (from Autobarn) for my AVCR and RSM on the dash. I needed to bend the Apexi stands so they were flush with the dash though. I cleaned it first with metho, and clamped it down with masking tape overnight - has been fine for 6 months.

Inspiration from 2000GT is obvious. I like it.

Cr34tion: I'd have them on CD backup somewhere if you really want Was for a leathergoods manufacturer website job - it just so happened they provided alot of specialist items above the usual handbags and belts. I can draw you a picture of the scatbox if you like too

You gotta admit its kinda cool that a thread about using the internet at work turns into something about asking people if you can watch them pee in the shower. OK so I skimmed the posts - but I think I got the general jist of things. Which leads me to... I went on a photoshoot to an S&M establishment a few years back - for a leathergoods website if I recall (which I do as it's not something you easily forget) and as we were packing up, noticed an interesting device in the corner... I asked the madame what it was - looked kinda like a G4 Cube, without the G4 ie: a perspex box, with a hole in the top, and an opening on one end. Turns out it was a 'scatbox'. Utilised for certain patrons who wished to taste the nutty browness first hand (rather than go through McDonalds drive-thru) She went on to mention that bookings were required a week in advance so that she could adjust her diet for optimum 'pooformance' for her client. I figured she didn't mean a takeaway vindaloo the night prior... Not sure where I was going with this... Anyway - I'm sure my point was going to be a good one. Back to work...

Is called the Niva Marsh and can be purchased new in Russia (about $40k - cheaper than a helicopter). Was developed as an extreme all-terrain vehicle that would cause minimal environmental damage (unlike a tracked vehicle). It's actually amphibious (has a small propeller out the back) and can float on those tyres. Pity it still has the 1960's 1600 OHC carby Fiat engine. http://www.autoindex.org/model.plt?no=2137&ass=# Pretty cool though:)
