still going ahead? im keen to, as since 31 club dyno day ive put a full 3" system on, got my actuator hooked up right and i'll b manual. keen to see if theres a major difference

so no pics of 31s then wait till i upload mine

hah the orange 32 is flick from CSA / SHY, luke (skylineguy19) girlfriend............her old car was the black NOT URS lancer..........the car was owned by a chick called erin from NS i believe....

mate of mine mite want it for his r31 wagon if ya still got it, drop me a line

my r31 works with 4 high beams (series 3) low beam side is a H4 low/high combo and central high beam only is H1..........all 4 come on when its on high beam

heres a few of mine (taken by Lorenz)

ive got silvertop and r32 gtst auto in my 31 only prob ive ever had is it seems to not engage properly above 1st..........lack of trans brake and basically goes to "idle" when ya cruising pain in the arse thru the hills thats for sure what rb20 and what auto?

correct me if im wrong are we the only state not to hav an annual roadworthiness certificate requirement everywhere else i read about cars needing annual RWC which keeps shitheaps off the road plus its somewhat easier to deal with modified cars as there's more workshops that can "engineer" whats on there? am i right with that statement? bugger it, lets all move to qld - no defects there

spotted a hot blonde drivin a s2 33 down port road at aldinga this arvo in the work truck, so easy to check her out oh and the car too cant forget the car

spotted vange tonite on main north road between o'connel st and fitzroy tce - i saw ya last minute as i was headin the other way - one headlight out on mine too sucked..........had to stop twice to fix it (wiring melted )

okay then. they tell ya when ya car is defected not to park it on a public thoroughfare afta your "grace period" expires. so what you're sayin is that its illegal to hav it parked in ya driveway with a defect on it. or am i confused.

Ive only just come across this thread and i'll ad my 2c worth I live with me folks. They're cool with my car and my mates cars. They dont care what they get up to. As far as they're concerned, whatever we get up to is our responsibility (ie we get caught doin illegal shit we cop it on the chin - simple). Theres a lady that lives about 2 doors down, her husband was a traffic cop until about 6 years ago (they've always lived in the same house too, and we've known them the whole time we've been here). She's a bit whacko in the head, fark knows why. My mate across the road has a 180sx, usual deal - exhaust, mags etc (tim's mate gavin). He's had the old cow go off at him about his "irresponsible driving" and that the car is "as loud as a jumbo jet" etc etc. The car was on defect for 6 or so months and got cleared recently. He's changed the exhaust again, its not loud like it used to be but it has a nice note. He hardly boots it around here (purely for the one reason of that mad cow). He's had a visit from the ex cop to say "oh i wonder how long it'll be before ya car is defected again". I copped a serve from her the other week. I was comin home from work on a thursday arvo, turned into my street a few streets up from normal (usually come off the main road but i decided to come a different way). She's out the front, doin gardening or something, ive HARDLY put the boot in (the RB20 still spools loud especially bein auto), didnt even get over 40kmh, had to pull wide to turn in me drive (cos of me neighbour's truck out the front of his house). I backed off the throttle and it popped a bit (nice lil pop, nothing major). I heard her yell something out but 1. i had my stereo up a bit so i didnt hear exactly and 2. i tend to ignore her most of the time anyway i get in the drive, turn the car off, start unpackin the car, mum's come out to help me and she comes storming up the drive. She starts roundly accusing me of being a hoon. she starts telling me i was speeding up the street. also then says that i ALWAYS speed up and down the street. My mum turns around and challenges her. "What times of the day does this happen?" She just goes off on another tangent, sayin something about "oh there's little kids that live in the house two or three doors down and one day you're goin to hit and kill them". My comment was "what would the kids be doing playing on the road?" apparently according to her that's "not the point". Then she starts rabbiting on about "oh my husband's an ex cop and he'll get his mates onto you and get u defected". Straight out im like "Did you hear that, sounded like a threat to me?". Afta that she stormed off. Needless to say in the weeks following ive been 1. Followed by a marked patrol car (5 times) 2. Been pulled over by a marked patrol car (3 times) 3. Been accused of reckless driving (1 time) The times ive been followed i aint been doin anythin wrong. Either been driving to work, home from work, or just going out. The times ive been pulled over they've done a licence check, done the torch on the tyres and rego, and commented that ive got a unique car. The one time of being accused of driving recklessly. Turns out they'd mistaken my car for a similar car (who'd been actin like a tool) in the same carpark i was in about 2hrs prior. Some of the guys from the 31 forums would prob kno the car im talkin about. Here's a tip if you didnt know it either You cant get defected on private property. That being your own driveway, a service station etc. One of the times i got pulled over was at the bowser at the local servo. Cant do shit as they hav to list the road the defect was found on.

Hi Guys I dont often get to post in here but this i think needs to be mentioned Police reports have been filed for both, but the more people on the lookout the better Just to let yas all know I had my work tools stolen sometime overnight. Didnt realise till patrick was around this arvo and i needed something and couldnt find it. My neighbour (who works for the same company as me) had his work truck broken into. Stolen were an in-dash CB radio and a couple of handhelds. Radios and shit were all Motorola - worth probably $800-$1500 Tools etc from my stuff total $5000 Most of these items will be marked with the company name: Bilfinger Berger Services Stolen from the Seaview Downs area My tools are specialised for my field. A lot of them are insulated tools Such items as Full body harness for working in an EWP (Miller Moxham ETSA Utilities specification) Insulated cable cutters (wont cut steel, but will cut ali and copper) Insulated pliers Insulated screwdrivers Socket sets and socket driver (JBS) Ratchet ring spanners ("podgers" - 18mm/24mm and 24mm/30mm) Assorted other spanners (specialist sizes - 16/18/24/30/36mm plus imperial sizes - both ring and open ended spanners) Hard hat, safety vests, earmuffs, and the blatantly obvious was a work manual with the company logo emblazoned on it (Policies and Procedures Manual) If anyone finds any of these items please notify Sturt Police station (82074700), then also notify my company (Bilfinger Berger Services - Parafield Airport: 81820600) Rewards will be offered if all (or any) of the above items are returned. Thanks Matthew Tonkin *mods - can this be stickied / pinned until i find out whats happening, if things are recovered etc? cheers*

spotted HOSTILE gettin away from me in the hills many a time today cheers martin man i love that DISH

u still looking for one may be able to help ya out (sa)

the r31 club had a smallish display last year banner - best bet is to speak to Ted Turner Signs at Edwardstown as they did ours for around the $160 mark i reckon - and thats a 2000x1000 vinyl banner dyno run is included in teh entry cost, dB drag racing is extra and ya gotta enter somewhere else

i got many a nickname my username is what i used to hav for EVERYTHING (i still hav my original hotmail account i started in 2000........thats a matty_tonkin start cos i couldnt get matthew_tonkin at the time Nickname i get at work: Rambo Nickname i get at army reserves: Tonks On Air name i used to use at Fresh (and will if i ever get off my slack arse and get back on air): Matty T Current Numberplate: SERTY-1 Something interesting no doubt

the powerplay HR31 looked mad as too personal pref......all the top cars looked phat

best bet check the brakes/suspension and steering tech threads on forum.r31skylineclub.com from what ive heard the front rotors u can change to R32, just carrying over the 5 stud hubs unsure about the rear tho. U hav it easy tho cos a lot more will bolt on than onto the aus models. Im lookin to do a similar change soon on my turbo aus S3 sedan........rear im havin to look at re-drilled hubs thats ya best bet, there'll b a few ppl who hav done this mod (or kno how) so try ya luck there matty
