  1. They don't have pics on the website: http://www.sauvic.com.au/merchandise Black jumper with "GTR" written on it but couldn't find any pics...PM Bec she can provide more info.
  2. While I don't agree with your discussion of creatine I haven't done extensive research on the subject. What's your definition of a high protein diet? And what adverse effects? I've never seen any such negatives of eating high protein diets, where are you researching? pubmed?
  3. Yes, and opinion of the balance varies, the group on Nissan Silvia talked about 35/50/15 in the ratio of calories from protein/fats/carbs. Where carbs/protein contained 4calories per ? and the fat was 9 calories for an equal sized serving. The important part was the fats are Omega 6/3 in a ratio of 2:1, eating saturated fat won't help you much at all
  4. Hi, I had a quick look on the SAU Vic website and I can see the polo shirts but do the GTR/SAU jumpers still exist? Where can they be bought from? Thanks, Gareth
  5. Heated it up with a heatgun and remolded it slightly to fit over a Greddy aftermarket radiator....R33 as well
  6. Wrong section, but who's hosting the event? If it was SAU its normally in the events section and you have an email / supplementary regs section. If its drivers dynamics they are a private company and you can call them....
  7. If you don't mind driving, Traction Tyres rowville does an excellent job, they are not cheap, I think I paid ~$110 for a 4 wheel alignment but they tune the settings carefully EDIT: at Traction Tyres you can actually see them working...lol
  8. And here's a quote from the Aus website which is under less legal restrictions compared to the USA in terms of oil usage, from http://www.redlineoil.com.au/oil-finder.asp : I'm not recommending either way for a Getrag gearbox, just want to disagree for the entire it doesn't work with synchro's argument.
  9. SuperTools sell them in 3 sizes, around $40+ I think, I can't recall the price
  10. Thanks, I've had the same issue since I bought my car, had the diff re-built, changed oil twice now, still whines, I guess it will need a recondition at some point
  11. I wrote a thread on how to tweak your speedo by small amounts, there is a MP/H to KM/H conversion too but that might not help you. There is another tutorial about adjusting your speedo using an electronic calibrator from Jaycar, that may help you...
  12. Does this help? hypoid lubricant for read (sic) differential? Apparently hypoid oils are for hypoid gears ....
  13. I'm guessing the read "this" thread above didn't get through. Read this thread here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...58#entry4848358 That is the workshop manual the manual on the web is NOT the workshop manual, its the engine manual only and yes its not legal to download a copy...
  14. There's tutorials on that kind of thing JPNZ would probably sell you a manual but they cost $$$
  15. Really nice, interested in how much that cost....one day lol
  16. Sorry to ask a really stupid question, I've read the discussion and its interesting, one thing I'm getting confused on is the definition of capacity. I always thought capacity was based on physical size, like the capacity of a cubed container of a certain size might be say 30L. In terms of engines, whether its 2 stroke or 4 stroke, do we measure them both by the physical capacity? And is that measured by the size of all the cylinders combined? Or something else...just send me a link to read Thanks P.S. I purposely did not ask about rotary / wankel because I'm not interested in starting another page of debate...
  17. Rebuilding can be cheaper, NPC performance clutches rebuilt my Nismo clutch for me, you can give them a call if you want, I posted it up there. Be warned that many mechanics won't like your car been around the workshop for a week if they can't move it...
  18. +1 no GTR, not good daily drivers (yes that's debatable), engine rebuild is ~6-8K, your tyres cost $$$, even your windscreen will cost $250 where a ford/commodore windscreen costs $150. Even if you have the money I'd still say stay away until you are older and more mature
  19. I've seen vendors selling them for $2500 a pair but its not the one I want (it was a -5) and its +$200 or so to get the gaskets et cetera. I'm not currently purchasing, I'm looking at buying a house first so that will be a slight delay EDIT: I am interested in the difference in the turbines. Also I've seen an NZ seller selling HKS GTSS for $3100 as a kit plus $75 postage
  20. Hi, Hopefully no one in Vic will mind, I've opened a group buy thread here in regard to the full (not just engine) R33 workshop manual. JPNZ has offered a discount if we group buy so if your interested just reply to the group buy thread or PM me. The normal price is $150NZ, or ~$130AU printed and delivered I believe. Saving money on postage by posting to a single address is a possibility but that's only if there is enough interest from a particular area/state/common place where everyone can get there copy If anyone else knows another Australian forum/group that might be interested in the group buy please tell me, I haven't got a price yet as I need an estimated number of purchasers and then I can get a confirmed price... Regards, Gareth
  21. I've had them repaired cracked glass on R31 headlight's before. I don't think the car-type is relevant, they work on headlights, they keep stock of the more common models headlights but they can repair too....
  22. The reply I got on high-flowing GTR turbo's ended up within ~$100 of buying Garett 2860/2560 turbo's new (if you used the ball bearing version). And other forum sponsors were selling the garett turbo's cheaper than Hypergear...
  23. Try Marty at FHRX, $40/sheet is expensive! I remember paying about $25/sheet roughly.
  24. Spoke to him, if we can get a group together to buy them he has an Australian account and he could offer us a discounted rate. Created a new thread here for an EOI for a group buy. If we don't get the numbers then no discount, but if we do get a few numbers there then we can get a discounted rate *and* deposit into an Australian bank account.... Regards, Gareth
