  1. agreed its good to have a trade to fall back on, its sort of like an insurance that you will always get employment. ive been an automotive painter for 7 years now, and it has its good and bad points. its always rewarding to see a smashed up car roll in and have it looking like new again in a couple of days, it good to use the skills learned on my own cars too, and it keeps me active as opposed to sitting on my ass all day in an office. chemicals arent so nice though, pay isnt great (our trade can thank insurance companys for that), does get a bit repedative after years of the same thing too. i made good money painting on the industrial side for a short time eg earthmovers, cranes, shipping containers and other massive shit. but thats far more enduring and messy (no-one i worked with was really in that for the long term). but yeah if you are keen on the idea give it a go and see what you think, croydon tafe do good pre-voc courses that will almost guarantee you an apprenticeship somewhere and also give you an idea of whats involved with being a mechanic. and if you dont like it just leave and try something else.
  2. i vote stock over led's! same for all cars, i cant say ive ever seen an improvement in fitting aftermarket tail lights. my personal opinion though
  3. 99 GTT - dude there is no way a boost controller, aftermarket ecu and hiflow turbo are legal mods.
  4. oops, nah i was refering to my daily cos thats what i drive 95 percent of the time i better edit that thread cos its not for sale anymore
  5. lol dont stress flick, the watermark is a good plan, just saying i thought the smorgasboard was a bit on the average side, ill probably drop past depending when it is
  6. i agree with matty on the watermark, we had our work show there and while the location is cool, the food is a bit average
  7. so the police now use youtube and internet forums to do their job? dont they realise how much bs gets posted on the net? like mentioned earlier, today tonight pull a feature on adelaide hills "drift racing" footage that turned out it was from the streets of japan, f**k there was even japanese lettering printed on the roads in that vid! and with the idea of helping change police/media views on imports, that would be like me saying lets help politicians be honest, it isnt gonna happen. its the fools out there doing stupid shit like burnouts/drift in the suburbs that ruin it for the sensible drivers that understand there is a time and a place for it, and its not on public roads. i agree we need a drag stip and somewhere that holds regular drift meets, like other states. but here in sa we get a revenue camera on every intersection instead! +1 for me too
  8. +1 here too, but in fullham this arvo
  9. ah shite, i forgot all about these hoodies, i reakon ill pick up the 2 printed and also 2 blank one if possible?
  10. thats like the 3rd time in a week ive spotted you at that intersection Vu
  11. did anyone else spot all the hundreds of old school cars this afternoon all cruising past henley square? saw a few skylines in the mix too
  12. spotted you on henley beach rd yesterday about 6pm Vu, i was turning off holbrooks rd
  13. spotted a grey 32 at hilton, had sau sticker on 1/4 window and no rear bar
  14. spotted a white 33 with a black bonnet and roof, bodykit and flush bootlid on the freeway yesterday. tagged as a duo from mt barker to murray bridge, anyone on here?
  15. my dad got me into these cars, he's always owned nissans. and were huge fans of the group a skylines! although the push to buy one came from one of the guys i went to tafe with, he took me for a spin in his 32 and about 3 months later i had bought a skyline
  16. that 1st pic is awesome man! i have a new background!

  22. i gotta go outside and shut the gate, so im gonna have a look too
  23. recently had some interest in this, so i thought i should post an update as ive changed a few things since placing this ad recently installed a brand new single plate brass button clutch, easy to use and handles the power nicely, cost $1000 installed 2 recaro recliners + rails to suit r33, cost 1000+ removed xenon kit and went back to standard hallogens removed momo wheel and nismo knob - went with brand new retrimmed leather wheel and brand new 33 GT-R leather shift knob combined cost me 400 no more autogage boost meter, i bought an electronic blitz gauge now mounted behind steering wheel (legally) spent 200 it also doesnt have the orange front bar indicators anymore, i changed to clear type, but now i plan on deleting them off the bar and putting indicators on the headlight sides like the r32
  24. sorry mate, not these days. but maybe a bit later down the track, im trying to line up a place with a shed
