lol i wonder why there's a tow hook on the strut tower

There would be some upward pressure applied to the damper by the sway-bar, as well as the lower mounting bush applying lateral load, but that shouldn't be enough to make it that difficult to turn the adjuster. Have you inspected the threads for damage since they were mounted?

Ouffttt taken out indeed! Lower speed limits is what we need here... /sarcasm.

Stacked or racked?

They're oem fitment on a32 maxima i'm pretty sure...

Yes they will fit, will probably need rolled guards. 265 are a bit large for a 9" rim. Go 235/40R18.

The boulevard/yarra bend? That place was a parking lot last year!

lol yes

There's a set of confetti SR3's on eBay in what looks to be great condition - so tempted, so expensive http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-Recaro-SR3-Seats-/251282627086?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a819c9a0e&_uhb=1 On that note, anyone selling or know of any 32/33 GT-R seats for sale?

Ahh wrong section: mods move please thx

Looking for a clean/decent pair of R32 or R33 GT-R front seats, must have no rips, but stains and crimples are okay, to an extent. Would prefer Victorian seller to save on postage. PM me so I don't have to check here everyday please :]

Black XD9's suit that black GT-T so well. Tony should buy a set

I saw a black R33 with taxi-spec BA falcon steelies: looked absolutely pox.

Nice clean build, and I agree, turquoise is a great colour to use for accents. Be sure to put some anti-seize paste on those alloy nuts and drop your torque a few ft-lbs, as they tend to stick and strip otherwise.

I have a 3" 100cpsi Venom cat. Good quality and freed the exhaust up considerably from the compliance crap that was on there.

It goes pretty quickly. Mine only took 6 weeks.

Seriously WTF @ so many Skylines getting stolen in VIC. What's the point in dumping thousands of $$$ into these only to have it stolen? Might have to sell up and buy a XR6T. Pull off the 'turbo' badge and it will be essentially theft-proof compared to a skyline .

Lips folded in = no worries. Might have to go a skinner tyre though.

I'm a bit of a security fanatic myself. My take on things: 1. Car should be equipped with a properly installed alarm and immobilizer system. As we know, installation is so important. I won't reveal my tricks, but the immobilizer module should cut fuel pump and either starter or ignition. Test yourself: if you can find/access the cut points or immobilizer unit within ~15 minutes of dissassembly, it's not hidden well enough. 2. Once that is covered, if you're parking on the street or in public, always leave your car in gear and with the steering wheel turned 360 degrees from center. If they want to get it on a tow truck, they will need to get inside the car to straighten the wheels or put it into neutral. This will set of your now well hidden alarm, alerting either you, or others. Thieves obviously like to work transparently, so a loud alarm going off while the car is being towed onto the back of the truck will be less than ideal. 3. Well Hidden Kill switch. I like the idea of a keypad immobilizer, but a kill switch will do essentially the same job, and with less hassle/cost. A magnetic reed switch could be used creatively used too. Cut a different point to what you did with the alarm system. Whenever your car is parked at home or for a longer time, flick the switch. If they break in and get your keys, they still won't be going anywhere. If they're stealing your keys, they're driving it away otherwise. Hide it in the boot if you're paranoid! 4. Don't care what anyone else says, old-school devices like steering locks or even wheel locks are a useful deterrent, once all of the above are done. 5. Park out of sight at home. Trust your instinct, if a particular street looks seedy, cough up the $10 and park in a lit garage, and do what I wrote above.

Nahhh, red looks ricey, would paint em' factory grey if anything. Probs won't bother.

Cheers dude, I went with Kumho.

Hey dude, I posted in the wheel sizes and offsets thread, but they're 18x9+30 225/40 and 18x10+38 235/40. Stock guards.

Victoria has to be the state with the most Skyline thefts at the moment, it's making me hella-paranoid! Did your mates car have any form of alarm/security? Street parked?

Suitable thread title, it has been pouring rain all day, and of course as I'm writing this it's sunny: typical Melbourne. I'm from around that area, one tip is to steer clear of the Flemington flats at night, can be rough. Otherwise a good suburb. Welcome to VIC!

Yeh, I love the look of white wheels, has a slightly 90's theme, while still looking aggressive. Hoping I don't get too much attention with them; they certainly stand out. And yes, keeping clean will be a bitch.
