Not sure if they will fit or not, and not sure if he still has them or not, but I sold a set of 255/40/17's to one of the guys that works with Ed. Have a talk to him and see if hes still got them, and if they will fit :cheers:

ok i'll call him in the morning, and see, but if he had them i assume he would have mentioned it by now, then again its very likely it didnt occur to him, as it didnt occur to me untill yesterday.

i have untill tuesday or my rego will be cancelled (fu**ing vultures) it would be better if i could find a workshop who werent sucj tight asses about a tiny bit of low tread on one edge of one tyre, oh well.

hey mate, well Jayce was kind enough to offer to lend me a pair, but i ended up getting a free easily legal pair (to keep) from dusky007 (alot of you will know him from garagetitan) so they are on and im having it checked tommoz. but i doubt i will get a mechanic that wont be tight and stiff me for something simple. and if they exist i dont know where they are lol.

a hell of a lot of pain on my part would have been spared if the prick hadnt ticked the "full inspection required" box.

had it inspected today, rear wheel was knocked back for being to low on tread, which i couldnt beleive!?! so im starting work at 11am, and i have to find a legal tyre, and have it on and checked then take the car into a shopfront and have it cleared all before i start work, or my rego will be cancelled.

they could let it pass, to put it simply, but they wont.

i have 3 formals to do, and come hell or high water i'll do them, i made a commitment and i'll uphold my word, there is always a way to get things done, and when it comes to the crunch im sure i'll find a way to get it done, im just rapidly running out of time.

just called dickson, with the hope i may be granted an extension, apparently i have another 2weeks to have the defect cleared......WTF?!?!?! i was told that i would receive a letter in a few days saying i had a further 2weeks to have it cleared, i wouldnt be fined any extra and there would be no penalties, so thats news to me, but good news in this case. :@)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      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.
