My wife drives like a granny when its wet and cold. When its hot shes a differnt animal. Drives my cars harder and faster than i do, i think she shoulda been a pro driver with her dry skills. She said it steered staight on through the apex of the rounderbout and was headed towards a power pole. I think she done well to only go up the curb then spin it onto the grass. Bumper is toast, left rear wheel as a bit of curb rash and the undertray is cracked but all else looks gd. Drives straigh as per normal and hooks up under power like it should. Now its down to the wife to want to get in a drive it again otherwise it mite be ready for upgrades

Wow man just seen a 1989 skyline svd silhouette towing a box trailer at the bottle shop. Dead original. Burgundy and grey. George fury reconds it was a f***ing s**t box. I think it was a beautiful form of ugly!


Sounds hawt

Continental extreme contact sport. It's a competitor to the michellin pilot sport 4s but available In sizes smaller than 19" unlike the michellin.


I'm no longer a fan of continental, I had sport contact 3 on the Audi when I got it within 12000km they were so bad I couldn't slow down without abs kicking in the super sports were amazing, like new after 20000km!!

You'll love the pilot sport 4S then.

There's generally a $$ difference too, You pay a premium for the michellins. the reason they perform so consistently is because they are dual layer, you effectively have two different layers of tread compound so they can engineer the compound of the outer layer for when it has lots of tread and then the inner layer for when the tyre has less tread so you don't get as much drop off in performance. Basically every other brand tyre has that drop in performance as they wear out, it just is what it is.

That's excluding the fact the super sports aren't really a direct competitor for the sport contact 3, they have different intended markets, ones a sporty family sedan tyre and the others not far removed from a semi slick, the extreme contact is aimed at the super sport/pilot sport 4s market and as far as testing I have seen goes, performance is very similar but at 3/4 the price.

Air powered nail guns were great toys as a kid. A friend of dad's was doing an extension to his house and we would go over to visit (being early primary school students at the time) and have great fun nailing anything we could find laying about together. The bigger gun that did the 75mm nails had some decent kick to it.

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
