Yes cos my girlfriend lives in Chatswood and I live in the Hills. And yes I was stuck in traffic at Mowbray Road... so shit. I really HATE Chatswood traffic.

Spotted near Capitol Theatre in the city tonight - grey R33 series 1 with white numberplates (black border) A**-*** (only remember the first letter) but it did have a SAU sticker on the drivers side rear quarter window.

Bad thing about these is that pretty soon you get used to the feeling and it doesn't make a 'difference' anymore.

Fuel pump will not solve the problem as its the ECU that tells the pump to stop. You need a PowerFC or similar replacement ECU.

Replica Kit = $800 Fitted/painted = $800 Total = $1600

Stuff the cabbie A successful businessman flew to Vegas for the weekend to gamble. He lost the shirt off his back, and had nothing left but a quarter and the second half of his round trip ticket -- If he could just get to the airport he could get himself home. So he went out to the front of the casino where there was a cab waiting. He got in and explained his situation to the cabbie. He promised to send the driver money from home, he offered him his credit card numbers, his drivers license number, his address, etc. but to no avail. The cabbie said (adopt appropriate dialect), "If you don't have fifteen dollars, get the hell out of my cab!" So the businessman was forced to hitch-hike to the airport and was barely in time to catch his flight. One year later the businessman, having worked long and hard to regain his financial success, returned to Vegas and this time he won big. Feeling pretty good about himself, he went out to the front of the casino to get a cab ride back to the airport. Well who should he see out there, at the end of a long line of cabs, but his old buddy who had refused to give him a ride when he was down on his luck. The businessman thought for a moment about how he could make the guy pay for his lack of charity, and he hit on a plan. The businessman got in the first cab in the line, "How much for a ride to the airport," he asked? "Fifteen bucks," came the reply. "And how much for you to give me a blowjob on the way?" "What?! Get the hell out of my cab." The businessman got into the back of each cab in the long line and asked the same questions, with the same result. When he got to his old friend at the back of the line, he got in and asked "How much for a ride to the airport?" The cabbie replied "fifteen bucks." The businessman said "ok" and off they went. Then, as they drove slowly past the long line of cabs the businessman gave a big smile and thumbs up sign to each of the other drivers. Who wins - Saddam or Bill? Saddam Hussein and Bill Clinton meet up in Baghdad for the first round of talks in a new peace process. When Bill sits down, he notices three buttons on the side of Saddam's chair. They begin talking. After about five minutes Saddam presses the first button. A boxing glove springs out of a box on the desk and punches Clinton in the face. Confused, Clinton carries on talking as Saddam laughs. A few minutes later the second button is pressed. This time a big boot comes out and kicks Clinton in the shin. Again Saddam laughs, and again Clinton carries on talking, not wanting to put off the bigger issue of peace between the two countries. But when the third button is pressed and another boot comes out and kicks Clinton in the privates, he's finally had enough, knowing that he can't do much without them functioning well. "I'm going back home!" he tells the Iraqi. "We'll finish these talks in two weeks!" A fortnight passes and Saddam flies to the United States for talks. As the two men sit down, Hussein notices three buttons on Clinton's chair and prepares himself for the Yank's revenge. They begin talking and Bill presses the first button. Saddam ducks, but nothing happens. Clinton snickers. A few seconds later he presses the second button. Saddam jumps up, but again nothing happens. Clinton roars with laughter. When the third button is pressed, Saddam jumps up again, and again nothing happens. Clinton falls on the floor in a fit of hysterics. "Forget this," says Saddam. "I'm going back to Baghdad!" Clinton says through tears of laughter, "What Baghdad?"

Yes doing the whole car is a MASSIVE job. Since your car & engine bay is black its better - its alot more obvious if you have it resprayed something like red and inside the bay is white.

I was in Chatswood at that time so no not me. Talked to mass on the way to Chats though.

You will usually have to make up a shield yourself. Simple aluminium sheet metal will do.

1. Depends what catback. Different brands/models have different sounds. 2. Again depends what pod. Generally its a sucking air style sound. Some pods are louder than others. 3. With an unshielded pod, you'd probably lose power (compared to a stock airbox) cause of heatsoak. With a catback you'd gain < 10 rwkw. 4. If you want a quiet sounding exhaust go for either a Kakimoto or Fujitsubo Legalis. Oh and I suggest you get a whole turbo back system. Catback systems really don't do jack except make the car sound 'better'.

By upgrading the turbo, won't you have to start looking into ECU upgrades?

Mine took an hour exactly.

My offset come recommended from Work themselves for the ECR33...

I use: 17x8 - +32 17x9 - +38

Depends what model Pirellis...

Spotted a gray series 1 R33 with SAU sticker on the rear 3/4 window going towards city on Epping Road this afternoon.

Tuning what? Power-FC? SAFC? E-Manage?

If you are chasing over 200rwkw in power with modifications, get the R33 as there is no cheap (eg <$2000) solution in getting around the auto shift logic of the tiptronic R34.

Need something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/20-LONG-1-2-CHROME-...1QQcmdZViewItem

That super sucks stan. I have a bad feeling finding the guilty creep that did this will be nigh impossible. As funkeh said, its most likely a random act of theivery. Lucky only cosmetic damage was done but I know how annoying and time consuming it is to get these bits put together again. Holla at me if you need anything.

White smoke usually means oil is being burnt somewhere.

4 door "GTRs" aren't that uncommon ... At this years Tokyo Autosalon there was a 4 door R34 "GTR".

Ivy nice car you may want to try advertising at http://www.ozhonda.com

With stan its always booty calls.

No way would it be a direct bolt on. You would have to do major modification work on the front bumper to get it to fitl
