what would you be doing in Europe / Pomme land?

Look at things and get drunk frequently.

And I haven't covered more parts of the UK and Eastern Europe.

would like to do UK pubs someday. Would also love to visit the Whisky distilleries in Scotland :)

Have done heaps of pubs in London, haven't been to North of England, Ireland/North Ireland, Scotland and Eastern Europe - am planning on hitting them when I go there next.

both mate. I want to make sure Sean has history with the car so tuning info is all there for him. yep, it's going to be a long 1000km as I would only drive it on the weekends.

I done 400ks yesterday, so should take you 1 weekend.

Take the beast up through the hinterland for run in Antz. I know the roads well. I will book in with sean and get him to steal my timing and I will come with you.

Is it good drive thru there?

that would be EPIC mate.

They don't have to be! Emotion + car = money pit

Yep. But we wouldn't own these cars if it wasn't for emotions. We'd spend next to nothing and go buy a Yaris or a Mirage

Good luck with that. You don't have your Skyline because it was a sound economic decision...

The truth if I've ever heard it

True but. .. some decisions are worse than others. All the time you see people keeping their car because they can't bear to sell it and wasting thousands turning it into somthing it ain't. When for not much more money they could have just bought the right car.

True. But logical isnt always best. If i was logical I'd go buy some new small car that will take E10.

Doooooo eeeeeeeet.

They allow passenger rides...

I'll bring this up with the rest of the Exec team. See if we can get something organised.

BTW, when you're shopping for turbo on the GT-V, make sure you get low mount kit not high mount kit. Mate and I discovered that top bit of intake runners hitting the turbo.

I like this one, he's full of useful information :)

Call me skeptical but I massively doubt that Nissan would give the gt-v a low compression version of the 25de. Why would they make a new version of the engine to make it less powerful and less efficient?

GT-V wasn't a new version. It was a limited edition.

Turboing an n/a works well when you run low boost on a turbo capable of flowing lots of air at low pressures. on the n/a block is there provision for oil and water lines for the turbo?

Can't tell you off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure it does, there is a lot of extra bits and pieces that have been capped off. Would need to investigate further in daylight.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
