and the only reason ive got nye/nyd off (for the first time in 4 years) is because i got galacticly lucky and my name didnt come up until the rosters were done.

awww :D aren't we all hard done by

i have a sponsor child from Honduras just a little thought before WE all complain

The minimum wage is USD150 a month (probably obsolete datum). The people of Honduras are among the poorest in Latin America; Gross national income per capita (2007) is $US 1,649 >>Source<<

still feel hard done by or lucky enough to earn 30+k a year as opposed to $1600 US/year

Going on an impromptu cruise for GTR's only.

PM me before 11am if you want to come. Meeting in a specific location at midday and then cruising the hills for 2-3 hours.

Numbers are limited, and entry is restricted to GTR's. Sorry, but thems the breaks. After 11am tomorrow I'll be driving and wont have time to talk to people, so if u got stuff all else to do tomorrow, have a gtr, and have the petrol, msg me.

No exceptions.

Bugger! Sounds like an excellent idea Ben, but got the GTR booked in for work on monday :D

All those people complaining about not getting time off over the festive season; i've been working in hospitality for 9 years and have never had a new years off and rarely get x-mas off. Finally get one off this year and because i've just got over Glandular fever i can't drink for 2 months. So no drinking for x-mas, new years or big day out (first time i'm going). I've also worked every birthday since i was 23.

Now where are those violins.

Motorbikes FTW!!!

Me and my mates got pulled over last night by the boys in blue. One cop starts looking over my bike, commenting how he wants to get his bike licence and all. Has a look over it, comments there is no rego label displayed. I tell him honestly I got the bike regoed a month ago, but I've been slack getting a label case to attach to the bike, but the label is under the seat. He has a bit more of a look and lets me go :)

I seriously thought I was going to get done for: no chain guard, rear tyre down to wear indicators, excessive noise (no baffles fitted), and probably whatever else they wanted to go to town on.

Well time to get off my ass and get those baffles in, rego label case, and new hoops! :D

just wondering if you were or you know the linee from st marys that got caught riding in the bucket back to the depot when his hard hat fell off and hit the cop car traveling behind the truck. I laughed when i heard that one

haha yeah, sure do.... and it wasnt riding back to the depot. they were doing SLOs (street light outs) on standby, and he was riding in the bucket down port road............they were doing 50kph (when ur only meant to do 5kph with someone in the bucket). We laughed when the report came out and there was a PHOTO of him a few seconds before his helmet came off LOL

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
