ok, atm I have my car.

the front bar is on, but ****ed after i let my friend drive it, and he didnt know how to enter driveways...

Im also looking for a trust airpod and attachment and a nice fmic set up.

but i need insurance, beacuse I dont want to lose my car, I'm 21 had 8 speeding tickets in the last 6 years, and had my license suspensed once(the new rule).

I'm just wondering wheres the best places to go and whats the best value for money. like I dont want chrome pipes for my fmic, i'd rather black, but a chrome fmic.

my drivers door window motor is now ****ed from going up and down too much, so i'll have to replace that also.

and b4 i got my car service my car did 80 in first and then 135 in second, now it only goes to 60-65 and then seems like its trying to get more air. and in second only gets to 100. this is good for me, but I would rather a car taht works properly then not.

basically im bored sitting at home, and would rahter spend money on my car :D

thats at stock psi also, I dont know what happened and chaos has seen my car go :D

so I'm trying to think what could have happened, can you reduce the turbo psi from stock to lower? or can new spark plugs do something?

my car has a rev limiter of 7000 but not speed limited(this is good so I cant over rev.)

so, maybe i need to get it tuned or something. dad doesnt want to help, he believes my car goes fast enough as it is, and that he doesnt want me to loose my license again...

greg have u tried taking the airbox off?? maybe thats why it seems its trying to suck more air in cause i noticed last time u had one on.

insurance....well with ur history you will struggle to get it.

I'd say go with a 400R front bar or garage ***ui or something like that (NA_R33 has one) and this have a large section in the front for a front mount.

nah new clutch, once i bought it from autoshop the clutch was over trightened and they had burnt the **** outter it, i got a new one the next day, some dakin perforanmce clutch for 900 fitted, was quoted other places for $1200. the clutch is fine, the only problem i have is the air filter is stock and the sponge is shit its almost about to fall apart(some rips in it) so I'm going to either get a panel air filter, or waste some money on a pod and make some air box thingy :D

at the service, i got new plugs, the mud outta the radirator(this didnt make the car heat up at all for some reason :D and new oils and shit like that. I run my car only on ulimate, I would get racq to tow me to a bp if i ran out of fuel in front of a shell :D

i check the water and oil regualy and would rather be saef then sorry. I also have to find somewhere that will lathe back my disc, or maybe buy some slotted ones :D

and imm thinking of getting my license back for night work, because i make 300 more a week doing nights. I THINK i could drive to and from work properly and that I will slow down on the open roads. speed kills those that dont look in their mirrors...

Bwahahahaha! Funny. I'm a BP only man too.

I got my front discs machined at Global down here on the coast. Removed them myself, drove there in my shitter, had lunch, went back, all done, $30. Still want DBA rotors tho...

Slowing down in a Skyline is a figment of your imagination... :D

speed kills those that dont look in their mirrors...

And aint that the truth...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
