Don't get verdes.

Why?

I wanna be ballllllllerrrrr

Just got a glowing performance review despite the fact i have done very little for the last 6 months! Win!

Sounds like my job hahahaha

Yeah brakes are next on my list. And the cat + front pipes fitted. Will have to wait for a bit though since I'm all out of money again after buying 4 new tyres and rego + insurance on the GTR.

yes that would add up!

I cant decide what to do brakes wise, the Ksports look pretty good....but all my other stuff is brandwhore...but brakes inparticular seem to carry a massive brand tax. though with the Aus dollar so good willwood and stoptech become pretty good options

Have you had a look at the porche brembos? Another one that would be worthwhile looking at while the dollar is up there. Have a look on ebay the only thing is getting the adapters made up etc. The stoptech brakes look like a good package aswell though and less f**king around.

Im all for no f**king around!

I think Ksport has the inside running at the moment, I saw so many cars using them to great effect down at superlap and everything i need gets delivered to my door, If i could find a decent set of r33 GTR brembos I would use them but every one wants too much, Its really making me regret that i didnt hold on to the set i had on the old R32 for longer. I had them in my garage for ages but them swapped them for the engine in Annas car.

Rotas are reasonably cheep. Could try them? Atleast they copy some nice looking wheels. Or have a look at the advanti rims that option 1 sell.

Yeah ideally I want some white thin 5 spoke ones... or some chrome/shadow chrome like my old ones.

But lately I've liked the idea of filling the entire space with some massive chrome bling dinner plate style thing....... so ridiculous....... so beautiful......... *sheds a tear*

you could sell the ones you have though right? Change over wouldnt be so bad

The ones in my pic were sold a few months ago...... I'm running 16" wheels that are similar to stockos at the moment

    • 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....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
