The biggest issues with perth is its speed limits and people being stingey. People pay as little as possible for tyres, corse ur 20 dollar plastic tyres arnt gonna grip the road and not enspire confidence. How are you supost to drive if u cant feel what the cars doing??? Specialy in the wet.... and the speed limits, iv never understood why ud make giant v8s and have such slow limits. At 100kmh my concentration level is minimal as which i think most peoples is too. Lots of unconcentrated frustrated people makes for dangerous roads.


Where do I get these $20 tires? [emoji12]

Hey folks - unfortunately I need to sell off my Skyline!

Does anyone happen to know anybody who might be chasing a manual V36?  I have a good'un.  I thought here might be a good place to ask!  If you guys know anyone or have any tips, let me know. 

As always - much appreciated!

Sup travis pastrana?

Making the most of the wet weather on the bike?

 

LOL no. Sad news is after 5 years of manual labour, I have fkd my spine again (3rd times the charm - looking at fusion this time) So the bike isnt seeing much use.

Actually looking into stripping the old girl down and rebuilding it as a retro street scrambler. Think old steel fuel tank, flat tracker eat and low riding guards front and back

*rummage*

ALso, as fellow wagon aficionados, Y'all might want to take a squizz at this years pebble beach concours. 

Apart from Aston Martin FINALLY releasing more details about the upcoming vanquish shooting brake. V12 2 door wagon out of the box with almost 600hp? Anyone in the market for a kidney or 2?

If you wanted it to be a race car you could buy it back and tube frame the front end.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
