I more noticed the opposite. People trying to give off the impression they are angels on the road and never take their cars over 2500 rpm, condemning others bad behaviour when there's every chance they themselves would've engaged in similar behaviour in the past to that of those they are condemning.

Pretty much the definition of hypocrisy :)

But in the end I care very little because their words bare no effect on the enjoyment I feel when driving my car, by myself/with my mates, the way that I like to drive it. And this will continue to be the case :D

Andrew i'm not saying that i'm an angle infact it well and truely the opposite. But there is a time and place for everything and yesterday afternoon on an official cruise in broad daylight was not the place. If you have 100 cars on a cruise and 10 of them are being dicks then as far as joe public is concerned there were 100 cars being dicks in the hills. It's not correct but it is their perception and that is the battle that the import scene is fighting here, it all about perception.

We are an endangered species and i don;t get why other people don't see it. With the harsh laws that have been passed in the last 2 years and the inevitable laws that will continued to be passed eventually we won;t be able to take our cars down to the shops to get milk without being hasseled and when that day happens we only have the blokes like SteveP and 1J on NS to blame when they condone the bahavour of the guys how act like tools on large officially run cruises.

Lines like say yes your in, but words like Toyota X chassis feind and JZX100 in your profile scream your batting for the wrong team :D

It's all for the love of inline 6s Dan. And also for the love of ones that don't spin bearings if you rev them over 7000 :):D

-schnip-

I think you missed the part where I was specifically non-specific about who I was referring to Dale :P

Well i had a fun cruise. Sure there may be alittle reckless driving from time to time but hey who doesn't. My car cut into rwd for most of the cruise so had to take it alittle easier but sure did let me know when i was going to fast for a corner :)

I'll be at the bsm cruise, which im hoping will be the first cruise with the 26 in.

The other 4wd must have been pushing it.

    • I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..
    • I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share. 
    • Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.
    • Absolute Legend 🍻 After fighting with the scanned ones for the last 10 years this is a God send 
    • ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
