youll need the correct ratio. pretty much only from an ARX or hicas equipped RS model

unless you pull the LSD centre from that diff and hope it fits yours

also, automatic diffs even from 350z are open wheel

didnt see one Stagea while I was in Thailand.... I did however see so many modified utes it wasn't funny...

I'm pretty sure they should start associating the word ute with that country!

also thought I saw a stagea many times, only for it to be a lowered LOLvo with a big exaust and a body kit!

There wasnt a single Stagea to be spotted in Sri Lanka either! Millions of modified Tuk Tuks/Three-wheelers though. Hardly any utes, but a suprising number of Evos and WRX's (read: still not that many of them)

LMAO man if you can drive in lanka you can drive anywhere..

my uncle made me get on a motorbike through duplication road.(somewhere in colombo)

i swear i thought i was going to die 10 times.. especially when he goes through red lights

through duplication road.(somewhere in colombo)

F. That. Yeah I know duplication road, went down it a couple of times - a few half decent shopping places in that area.

Meanwhile, they did have something cool though - on some of the main roads (in fact, duplication road I think had it) the main traffic lights have a count down for when they sequence is going to change, so you know how long is left on the green/red. :worship:

My mate and I both saw it and had the same thought.. would be used for street racing here >_<

yeh near Majestic City shopping and stuff.. yeh most of them are count down on main roads.. it adds to the efficiency of traffic or something..

lanka is seriously a place you dont wanna get into a crash though.. if your at fault a whole bunch of people 'may' intentionally beat the shit out of you.. saw it once, and cops dont do anything.

but that was before the war finished.. duno about now..

yeah Thailand has the same count down timer, and all the bikes are off at about 3, before it even turns greeen!

that's probably because half the time the ones with the times (especially in Bangkok) are 3 minute red lights ughhhhhh!

it seems like an eternity with the timer there aswell :P

generally if there's no timer, they don't pay attention to the colour of the signal from what I could tell :P

thats ages.. better off walking lol.. probably safer too

the thing is its probably so hard to actually get to a speed to cause a bad accident in bangkok,

unless you're on a motorbike / scooter (which 90% of the population is) haha

lol at how they all congregate to the front like seagulls

I saw Stageas in Okinawa, Japan. However most of them were just dull and boring- NA models, stock rims etc etc. Only saw a couple of good ones, and neither time was fast enough to catch on Camera.

Photos to come- but don't get excited, they are pretty boring!

IMG_2605.jpg First M35 I saw, outside a panel shop I think.

IMG_2613.jpg Woke up one morning, and this one was outside my window!

IMG_2638.jpgPlace had 3 nice R32 GTR's for sale. I wish I had the time to wander into some of theperformance garages on the Island, I did see a R35 outside of one!

IMG_2664.jpg???

IMG_2665.jpgSeem to be lots of R32s on the island- one place I saw about 8 GTR's in a row for sale. Less R33/R34's.

IMG_2731.jpgDay out at the beach. Bring the Stag!

IMG_2733.jpgThis was from Toyko- just caught it out of the corner of my eye in an alley. Series 2, 250RX

IMG_2739.jpgBentley Flying Spur, I think?

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
