Haha. As an ex magna owner I can say there's a lot of wankers around. I had a 100% stock looking one that made 190.3kw at the front wheels and it was the fastest non turbo one in Australia. I always had other owners try and go me and I would just laugh at them

^agreed. I get VR/S/T/X commodore owners starting on me. I did take him on once and backed off halfway through because around the corner was the popo (I got flashed but old mate didn't see or care) and and he got done

I don't seem to get anyone hitting me up for a run @ the lights lucky you :P

My only encounter has been with a guy who works at the same shopping center as me in an Evo 9 who wanted to have a go LOL surprisingly he didin't pull much on me until it was time to back off due to the 80kph speed limit even he was surprised

I cop it all the time, usually off the inbreds in old shitbox commy's.

Lately i've noticed that a few BA/BF falcon drivers on their P's try racing me too. I reckon my car is one of the fastest P plate legal cars on the market, aside from the SV6 commonwhores put out 210kw. I beat anyone with a p plate just about now lol.

Edit: Also HEAPS of bogans in landcruiser utes and hiluxes try racing me, i just don't even bother and pretend not to notice them..

not many people over here know what a v series is. i get a lot of questions about what it is especially cos it has no badges. no one is expecting the whistling turbo either but they get the message when it hits 3000+rpm gotta plumb that bloody screamer pipe back in lol

I do get my share of people trying to get me going. Sometimes I'll entertain them but if I see P-plates, then I'm just a slow old man. Inexperienced drivers are not to be encouraged in an activity they know little about yet.

What annoys me is if i beat someone they either get angry and tail gate me or will keep trying over and over..

I've been on my P's for longer than normal, lost it for 6 months last year so i've had them for 4 years now.. I consider myself an experienced-ish driver but i do understand what you mean with the d*ckheads that just get their P's and try to race everyone.

i like 'spirited acceleration without loss of traction' - but i don't race anyone. it's far too easy for things to get over 30km'h above speed limit - and then i lose my car, my license, and most likely my job without a way to get there anymore.

yes - victoria is a nanny state, it's out of control - but the rules are the rules and i don't see any point in testing them.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
