Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

The end of the cricket was bloody awesome - apart from the fact that we lost.

Very exciting game though - never thought we would post such a low total either :sick:

Not liking the cricket is unAustralian and should be against the law. Fair enough test cricket can be a bit slow at times (that what all the beer drinking is for), but the one dayers are all action.

Fixed :sick:

Cruise was good. Lost the main pack, 'borrowed' Luke ENR-034s map then we went for a nice drive through the hills then I went home. I absolutely love having a stock car, pulled into the meet point car park, looked at the multiple cops at every exit and just laughed :(

they feel good?

So far so good, i haven't had a chance to really test them out but atm its staying very flat through corners and im getting a bit more feedback all round.

what sort of settings can you play with?

Height only, everything else is preset. as far as settings go i cant find any information on these coilovers as they were only ever sold in japan and in limited amounts too apparently... majority sold had spring ratings at 9kg front 7kg back that's about all i know.

Other noticeable feature is a double spring setup, i haven't seen anything like it before. Should have grabbed a few pics before i put them in but heres one I found on the net for an r32 GTR

helper springs. pretty common. they compress completely flat when the car is on the ground and keep the main spring captive when it decompresses.

i work at a tire store.

yes you do need a wheel alignment your toe, caster and camber need to be adjusted.

not that expensive, and can save your tires.

i disagree if you setup up your ride height to a similar to factory height you wouldn't need and alignment if you say take an inch or 2 out you probably might

cricket and paint are 2 of my favourite things... =P

honestly cricket wont hold my attention for long, but the end of the one dayer was right down to the wire.

certainly much better than tennis

you not ment to sniff it :sick:

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
