  1. been there, done that, cheers to the champ who loaned me his stocker in the past, but i think he has since gotten rid of it, also try exhaust shops and import wreckers, another option is to stick a steel plate in your exhaust between 2 of the flanges with a series of small holes drilled in it to reduce the flow. usually works well
  2. hey no knocking gts skylines! 57und is one.... appparently.... well the back says so i know of a r32 gtr with gts badging as well... fools to badge a car with something that it is not, minimum respect.
  3. after spending a month tearing round a farm in a old 80s series landcruiser and the furthest i had to drive it in town was to the shop and back, it bemuses me why anyone would want to drive these things as a daily driver. they are heavy, they understeer, they have so much body roll its insane! Tried parking the damn thing in parallel parking, gave up and went and parked it down the road in a empty building space, unless you got a straight runup it was pointless. the steering on them is pathetic, the turning circle even more so. Want to stop? Better start thinking about it at least 50m before the corner and make sure you dont rely only on the brakes cause they arnt gonna stop you unless you got 100m of stopping distance. No I agree with the sentiments expressed by the majority of the people in this thread. 4wds are an evil that can be done without in the city. Sure its different in places out west where half the roads start off sealed for the first 50m then end up dirt. But on the m1 and the city.... not where they belong. In my usual line of work i drive a 4wd van, it too is a heap of shit when it comes to handling, braking ability and the ability to actually move when the accelerator is pressed. They should be used for what they are originally intended for, workhorses nt family movers. I will happily wait for someone to show me WHY a minivan is not a better alternative to a prado, ect in regards to use as a family vehicle. If your so worried about loosing traction on a paved road, buy a holden crosstrack station wagon or crewman ute (yes surprisingly you can fit the same amount of people in a station wagon as you can a prado) In regards to camping, unless your intending to go to some pretty wild and inaccessable country you are hardly going to need a prado with full lift kit, oversize tyres, 600 spotlights and a dirty big spair tyre stuck on your back door blocking your view of cars behind you. I have had personal experiences with 4wd owners and their egos and inconsideration for other road users. /end rant /go back to bed
  4. Gday glen If you havent already done so, you should pm dirk (Robocop) regarding this, he processes the membership forms and sends out the membership packs. Unfortunatly as erin has said above our sticker supplier isnt in Australia at the moment and we have run out of stickers filling the last backlog. If you dont have any success pming Dirk, please message me and let me know and i will try and sort the issue out personally. James

  17. goes awesome too but he didnt turbo the na engine, he put something else in. you should really research turboing a naturaly aspirated engine. its not as easy as it seems and there are many problems to overcome
  18. my car looks like shit, but it seems to command respect, and its a series 1 33 *shrug*
  19. no one is saying that, whats said is youd do better to save your money and get a factory turbocharged skyline as there are differences other than just the turbo and the brakes. your saying your car is a shitty series 1, if your not happy with the car to begin with how are you going to be happy with it when you have finished modifying it, cause in the end, its still a series 1 skyline, no matter what you do to it do with your car what you want so you like it, and most of all enjoy your car.
  20. I dont see whats so wrong with a series 1 r33 skyline. If you dont like your car so much, perhaps you should sell it and get what youd be happy with. Some of us own series 1 r33s and are more than happy with our cars. James
  21. try import spare parts places, just jap, rma import spares ect (hit the yellow pages for a good listing) brake distributors australia in labrador are a sau-qld sponsor. Trevor is one of the best when it comes to brakes and im sure he can help you out when it comes to upgrading your brakes. or as eug said, bolt on spacers that convert 4 stud to 5 stud are also around however your wheels are gonna stick out more due to you running spacers
  22. yokohama es100 are ok, i much prefered the dunlop fm901s i had but they have stopped making them as eugene mentioned sau qld members recieve discounts at all bobjane stores
  23. the inteligent thing about goin to aspley is your 5 mins drive from pineapple road, specially on a thursday night have fun
  24. hahahaha krawler your a classic happy bday melv James
  25. stevie its sad to hear your lettin her go id say around 22k for your car steve, its had a good service history and it has quite a decent and respectable list of mods. i can vouch for this car, its well looked after, extremly straight and very quick. James
