My father told me just recently about a corporate weekend he was running. His boss asked him if he would like to go for a drive after the days workshops etc. He said sure, as the guy is his boss, and they proceeded to climb in his MY01 rex. As my father retold the story, I could hear the fear in his voice. :P He said he nearly needed to clean himself. The guy took him on some weird backroads. He said at one point he looked over, and the speedo was reading about 170. Moral of the story? drive quick enough to remind yourself you are alive.

I like that moral. I've only ever been past 170 twice, as I've never been on a track, and I tell you it's f*****g scary on a Sydney road. I clocked my car, heading southbound from the domestic airport and I never knew how bumpy this road was until then. It's a fairly new road but going that fast you tend to feel more of its flaws. Don't think I'll be doing that again. :mrgreen:

Where in Europe? Were you born there? How do the roads compare to Sydney ones?

I'm from Europe too but I was too young to remember most things. My dad used to tell me stories of when he used to go to Germany. Those autobahns sound cool. You're doing 180 and the steering wheel is starting to shake and all of a sudden whoooosh. A BMW just passes you with no effort at all.

    • Sorry to dig up an old post, these seats do not sit inline with the steering wheel so expect them to be offset towards the door. Also they sit a lot higher than the factory seats. There is a datasheet available online that confirms this. Can also advise be careful who you purchase from if you get them from a distributor in Australia, the company I purchased from in Sydney is no longer listed as a Bride distributor and I understand why, there was zero support from them.
    • You weren't kidding about the long block, what a difference it made!! I fixed every dent almost and all of them except for one and it feels 100% smooth on the others! I just need to fix one up and put some guide coat. Thanks a lot, that was game changing and time saving. 
    • I got a quote to refurbish some BBS look-alikes -best part of 2k. I had some alloys sand blasted - bad idea, in retrospect. Had to wear gloves to handle them! I had them powder coated to protect the rim. Rather than sand blasting, I recommend hydro blasting (blasted with micro-fine glass beads carried in a water stream). I had a set of TRX rims done recently for only about $200 total.
    • As title, selling some OEM r32gtr parts: all parts are in great condition despite age and still functioning (taken off working car) Intercooler + Piping Kit: 400 OEM Coilovers: 450 OEM Exhaust: 450 OEM Airbox: 550 Front Pipe: 450  Nismo Floor mat: 300 Happy to send more photos / any info needed cheers Prefer local meet up in Sydney, based around 2067 but happy to move. 
    • Hell yeah. Glad to see it’s closer to the road.
