Thanks guys!

Justin love the pic :D LOL

Well 28 now...bugger only 2 years to go before I reach my self imposed:

"I MUST HAVE A GTR BY THE TIME I'M 30" deadline :D:(:D

But, I canna complain. My wife got me a nice set of alloys for me birthday - Work Emotions in white. I've been wanting to upgrade wheels for a long time, but with the arrival on little one and a return trip to the UK this year, funds have been kinda short...plus I can never, ever decide what wheels I want...TE-37's, NISMO LM GT-4's, SSR integral, volk GT-C, the list goes on...

I think my wife got sick of me debating! :D The works were going cheap, they were the right size, they had decent tyres and they were white. I know, I know - white is major pain in the a$$ to keep clean...

... but then again, who ever said looking good was easy :D

pics will be done as soon as the weather improves - been raining constantly for 2 solid days - typical vacation weather :( The wheels aren't really much different to my old ones (17x8) all round with 225/45/ZR17 Bridgestone Potenza RE040's. They'll do until I can get a nice set of LM GT-4's...

or maybe some TE37's...

then again, Volk GT-C's look pretty nice!

:D Ahh too many wheels to chose from! :P

Just came back from having a full 4 wheel alignment done - rear camber was way out on one side - now been set to -1.24 degrees - does sound like a lot? The tech guy said that was as close to 0 degrees as they could get given I'd had the car lowered.

Dave...afraid I don't know the stock numbers for the GT-V. But you don't want 0 in the back! So that figure looks ok to me. Best thing to do is to drive it around and find an empty car park and see how it behaves on the limit and if its what you like your car to do. Sorting out the handling is the best thing you can do for your car, and probably the hardest! Unless you are one of those people that are all for straight lines;)

Weather has been poor here too....but it seems to be clearing up now! I hope the raniy seasnon hasn't come early this year!! :P

    • Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂  
    • Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.
    • So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?
    • One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives   
    • I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
