  1. Alberts or CarStereoCity are the 2 major car audio shops that come to mind... but they would be the most expensive Although I have heard good things about the knowledge and quality of installs at Strathfield also.

    Perth Motor Show

    aaannnnnddddd *breath-out Well, I made it through without going.
  3. Make it a 8:50-9:00 meet.... I say a 9:15pm depart from Woodvale at the latest. Takes about 20 minutes to drive down to City West then...
  4. I have a super prestigious L2S Had for nearly a year, need to reapply at the end of May.
  5. EBC? PRofec B Spec II, Blitz iBC (or something), APEXi SAFC2... I have a PRofec B and its fairy good for the price you pay, but not anywhere as near as bling-factor as the SAFC. Other mods? Splitfire coilpacks and make sure your spark plugs are upto date (buy new if you havent changed them yet) Fuel pump, injectors (I went with a NISMO FPR as well as Nismo pump and injectors) Cams to go with the cam gears, my pick is TOMEI for cams (260/9.15... keep it safe) and gears. Then for the big money mods clutch (Nismo for me... or Jim Berry), suspension (Bilstein for me... or TEIN/APEXI N1/HKS), wheels and tyres (unless you want to drift etc.), brakes (I got basic DBA4000's for now, might brembo up later).
  6. Stop with these useless car recommendations please... Get a GTR mate
  7. Soon as in, during the raining winter months? September - November is a good time for drags as its still cold but the rain is sorta dying off. Plus my clutch is on its way and needs to be installed first
  8. shave the door handles, boot key hole and GT badge. Tint the windows.
  9. My standard Super Coppermix twin is on its way from Japan, can't wait. But I am not planning on pushing more than 450hp so handling 640 is good enough.
  10. I saw one yesterday, man they are awesome little things....
  11. Just got back from Kermits with my new CAT and front muffler removed. My car sounds so much more meatier now. Love what that man does Kudos
  12. My NA, 4cyl, 1.8L Laser TX3 has 123kw. Celicas are 2.0L as well.
  13. pffft, I'd say 300-320rwkw with a good tune more like it. N1's like GT-SS's will easily get you a 300kw figure and with your forgies, pump, inj, pfc, cams?? you could expect more.
  14. What if you break your legs in a horrible and unlikely steering wheel kneeing incident? "Babe! Babe! I will be ok in the drivers seat while you run and get help" "Darling, I could drive you to..." "GO, NO TIME TO LOSE.... MY HEARING IS FADING, AARRRRGGGGHHHH" .......it's lunch, Im bored
  15. HOLY CRAP! Unlucky dood, hope your ok, it was a nice Zebra
  16. Skyline in reverse? Skyline with no gearbox? Skyline driven by a dead guy? Skyline upside down?
  17. I can vouch for the SK Bilstein + Whiteline kit. Have it installed in mine and really improved handling over my std struts + king springs. Ive heard the HKS are possibly the hardest setup you can get and (common) Superstreet's being the cheapest. I like the look of the upside down Monoflex though..
  18. I bought bearings direct from Nissan for my 32GTR. fronts were $386 for a pair and rears $580 for the pair.
  19. Be afraid The Ghost Car Happens at the end...
  20. Woah, heated topic.... I'm sure theres some complicated issues involved but rather than get confused I will just see what happens. Though in the back of my mind I am expecting it to be stopped. P.S. I received an email from them today and they seem to be working on an old exchange rate or, are just decreasing the AUD value to get a bit more profit. I worked out the AUD:JPY to be $1:Y97.5 when its about Y99.3 at the moment and was Y98.8 the night I ordered it. No biggie though....
  21. PR ship using EMS, its usually fairly quick so I am guessing it will be air freight.
  22. Crap, oh well, I ordered the clutch last night priced close to $1800 (including the 18Kg shipping charge), to my address. I will let y'all know for future reference what I am stung with.... I'll be pissed if I get a call from Brisbane wanting another kidney for shipping to Perth
  23. Dunno what currency coverter you use but the Aussie dollar buys $0.832USD $780AUD is $649USD
  24. Not really sure where this should go... I haven't imported any large items before but I am looking at clutches now and according to PerfectRun they are an 18Kg weight with a $240 cost to ship it to Australia. Will there be any other charges after that or does $240 cover everything? cheers
  25. My Momo wheel didn't hook up to the HKB boss kit I put on so I just wrapped the ground wire around the centre piece and made sure it firmly made contact with the inside of the boss kit. Vua'la, ground
