hey guys/gals,

Just read the article in the 'Speed' mag about the GTR vs EVO vs STi, awesome read. But did notice something... that mentioning of a 'John Munro' and also a the fact that this person owns GTR's, EVO's and M3's... i'm assuming this is u Munro? Or some very freaky coincidence/identical lives!

Anyways, i think it has been out for a little while so prob old news to most ppl but thought it was a great read, and yes the GTR is still King baby! And yes, Munro, u have THE best garage ever.

Power FC plus exhuast + RB26DETT = 272rwkw :P:D That's what the mag said... that's what i call impressive, couldn't believe it!!

Oh yeah, did have a question. Are M3's good drift cars?

Yep.You can spend days sideways in a new M3.Thats why mines coming with the 18s & not the optional 19s.

The R34 does make good power with only a Power FC & nismo exhaust & front pipe.The std turbos are making 1.2 bar & it pulls quite well from 3000-7500rpm. Pity it weighs 1650kg!

I am hoping to sell the EVO, but if not I may have to let the R34 go to make way for the BMW.Love to keep all of them, but thats life in the fast lane.

hahha, i've got a nissan pulsar doxx, maybe our cars should be like wacky mascots for SAU :)

wow... never knew the drift potential of the M3. In one of the Top Gear vids i've got, the main guy (besides Jeremy Clarkson) gave it a test drive, road and track. And he was drifting abit after he took the traction control off. I'm a huge BMW fan but didn't know they were that suitable for it... oh well, just another thing to like about them! :D

Awww.. keep all of them!! If u can have as many as u do now, just 1 extra M3 is not going to hurt! :cheers: Let the R34 go? i must admit ur in a very enviable position... a killer street R33, R34, EVO, and trying decide what must go the 34 or the M3. I could be wrong... but if u have all these cars (and an 'off it's tits' drag R33) i'm guessing it's not a $$ issue in regards to 34 or M3... maybe just build an underground car park, seen some around my area... pretty cool idea.

hmmm... guess i should try and get a copy of the 1st speed mag.

anyways, if u don't mind me asking.. what sort of line of work are u in? Maybe i should follow, seem like it's good way to end up with owning all these crazy ass cars!

cheers.

Actually it is a $ issue cause I am not really working at the moment.I am between small businesses & when you order an M3

it takes 12 months to arrive & was not expecting to have so many

cars a year later.

The "6" cars thing is not quite correct as the M3 is only arriving in the next couple of weeks.My other car that was not listed is a Tiger SS 6speed GenIII ute.I use it for towing the race car & slinging wheels & parts around - very handy for circle work too!

Well mr usuckpoo, the R34 is driven the most, mainly up in the hills.The race car is obviouly driven rarely now & has run out of rego.The new R33 is still undergoing a rebuild, but when ready will be driven often - eventually making the R34 an occasional driver. 3 GTRs is not very practical so may sell the 34 one day as the 2 R33 are too hard to sell. I actually prefer the shape of the R33s to the R34, but the 34 does have a better interior.

Consider $100,000.

It has over $20,000 of extras on it & has never been damaged.

Not intending on selling it ATM but will see what happens later.

Problem is it looks so good with the GT4 Nismo rims on it I would

never hear the end of it from my friends if i did sell it.

I used to service parts washing machines at mechanical workshops for 13 years.Filthy job, but got to know most workshops in town & helped to pay for my car addiction.

Also had a caravan business for a few years which I did

very well in.I am currently getting into a new business

which I am not at liberty to discuss at the moment.

As far as all the magazine articles go - well Martin is a mate

of mine & I'm always happy to help him out with articles.

BUT, from now on I will not be that keen to have any of my

cars featured due to the letter I just received from Transport

SA about my Race R33. They know all about the mods done &

will not register the car without an inspection.In other words,

that car will never be registered again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speed wants to feature the race car later in the year - thats fine

'cause the damage is done, but my street cars wont be featured

again & I will not be posting details on them in the future.

It is a shame - but whats a revhead supposed to do?????

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
