Got pre-approved for finance. Only one company would finance a car that old, but wouldn't finance a Skyline. -.- Too much hoon for them, probably. So now the chcices are: Different car (may have to be newer, dunno) or Personal loan. I'm oging to talk to the mortgage choice guy and find out about personal loans, though I am defs considering a Maxima Ti after driving Mike's. Was nice.

Yeah, he already suggested that when I got into his for a quick spin.

There's so much choice out there and I think I'd be happy with any almost any car from the late 90's onwards. I just want a skyline so badly and don't want to have to wait. :( Stupid Laws

Can anyone recommend where I should be looking to get a fibreglass repair kit to fix up two front bars? Both require multi cracks etc patched over a 10+ cm area... So one of the little kits from Super cheap ain't gonna cut it...

Try Paintmobile on Cheltenham rd Dandenong. They should have everything you need.

leeham will tell you to get a sss.

this.

SSS will munch NA 31,32,33 & 34 all day.

SSS with decent exhaust, some interior removed and good tread will keep up with turbo 31,32,33 & 34 most of the day.

inb4 hate.

this I believe

this i am dubious about

Lol trying to quote your post accidentally clicked on your name and went to your profile bucket boy, says you're 22...

So ideally you shouldn't be on Ps any more / shouldn't have long left?

Just go forced induction from the get go then?

What is this the f**kin YouTube thread?

Anyway, three way rolling between SS ute, Evo X and old faithful.

SS gives the thumbs up after losing; this is common for Commodore/Falcon drivers to do, I've noticed...and I love it because it's just mutual admiration for another car being quicker, it's respect (to some people, that's more important). Evo on the other hand, looks dead ahead like he's thinking "why isn't my car faster? I spent 50k on this shit." Remind me again why we pole fun at the taxis when the import owners are the sore dream boats?!

/stillhaventgrownup

if I rock up next to a sports car with their window down I usually put it in 4th, give it a little bit for a second for dat supercharge whine usually scares most off :P

I had some xr6t ute playing with me down the monash yesterday, thing was pretty darn quick sleeper as with those chrome plumber pole things just looked like a work ute, apart from the xenons he had on it.

getting bored of 370rwkw doe might have to go for 450 or 500 soon

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
