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

Right.... This is probably why i find that some jap cars have seized toe bolts, and are out by 21mm. (Treating them like commodores in my opinion)

Not to mention the fact its a 40 dollar, every 10,000km kinda thing. i spend more money on a cruize.

no skin of my back if he doesn't get a wheel alignment,

just i know that his toe would be out. and its good to check all the figures are even after installing coil-overs.

either way you don't NEED a wheel alignment, but your car does handle better, steer better, and wear tires better if you do.

Hence the fact i wheel align my car ever 5000km with oil change. (i would still do it even if i didn't work at bob Jane)

Edited by CleanAndSimple

all this talk of wheel alignments... i should probably get one done soon.

oh yeah, crickets boring as batshit. football interests me about as much as cancer does. and id rather stab myself with a diseased needle then sit through a game of tennis.

bring on the womens beach volleyball though...

Looking at all the cruise pictures, it's pretty low that cops had made such a huge presence on a cruise like that, considering what they're actually cruising for.

Sure, it's no excuse, and there's plenty of defectable cars... blah blah blah... but it's still bullshit.

I counted about 5 or 6 people getting defected... in the car park.

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 :huh:

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.

+1. I dont care how Pommie the game is, we have dominated it for decades, making it OUR game! Every team over the last 10 years at least have been waiting for this time, where Australia has to regrettably rebuild, and become a team again.

Decades? I guess you dont remember the 80s when the West Indies would rip the nads off the Australians repeatedly... and ya certainly can't claim it to be 'OUR' game when the indians are dominating the game from the admin level upwards...

Paint drying or cricket. At least with paint drying u get to kick back and admire the handiwork

so maybe years was the word i was after, not decades.

I still just dont see how a one dayer or 20-20 is boring to watch? Yesterdays game was boring, but a full on game like Aus v South Africa, aus posting the highest one day total ever, then south africa chasing it down. That was a damn exciting game to watch.

Dunno about 20/20, one dayers are >more< interesting to watch than test matches, but its still pretty bloody dull... and playing cricket in australian weather? 40+ ? Forgeddddit, you couldn't force me to be a spectator in those conditions, let alone a player... soccer, while boring as hell to watch (not least for the pansies that roll over clutching their legs and then taking a free kick without any visible physical discomfort) is actually pretty fun to play... afl, while its far far too athletic for a portly bloke like myself, can change at any given time and generally has more goals/points scored often than the single goal in soccer, or the occasional 6 hit in cricket.

Don't get me wrong. When the guys smash the ball and start running, it becomes interesting. But how many overs do u generally have to go thru before someone hits a screamer?

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • 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... 😅
