  1. Look into a 265 or 255. Note that the actual width of the tyre (the 'shoulders') varies with tyre brands, so one 265 can be wider (have a squarer shoulder) compared to 265 from another brank.
  2. So that's what the rattling was in the computer I threw away. OP, quickest fix is to unplug the smaller of the two plugs on the HICAS computer.
  3. That's a decent price because it includes the ballasts and bulbs. OEM HID headlights are pretty much $3k new from manufacturer.
  4. Jesse Streeter is awesome. He can buy parts directly from manufacturers as well! I got my Cusco brake master stopper within 5 working days, ultra fast.
  5. To be honest, when I started driving in Amsterdam I was terrible, but picked it up pretty quickly. Didn't know any Dutch (still don't apart from a couple of words, which I forgot now) so I would have failed a written test at "Name and Date" lol. The good thing about over there is, the public transport infrastructure is well established and so many people ride bikes that there are far fewer cars for the population. So I had the room to get accustomed to LHD and their signage (all logical signs to was quick to pick it up). One time I stuffed up was in a big driveway, going on the left side to exit when I should have been on the right. The lady that I blocked had a good laugh. The main problem with driving is that the driving test is way too easy, teaches you basic things but doesn't assess how well you can drive. New import drivers should get a full license test (that has been vastly redone), fail > L's, pass > full. Will be interesting to see if there is any impact or if it's business as usual over in WA (hopefully the latter).
  6. Oran Park is all houses now. You haven't mentioned offset. But 275 wide tyres are wide for 9.5", try 265. What's hitting the strut, the tyre or the wheel?
  7. I still have the high-res photos, but since it's a small point-and-shoot camera, they aren't awesome photos. Sexy cars though, one day I'll have one... I didn't come up and say hello, saw an old Asian bloke, must have been Terry. I know how you look like! (I'm retarded and don't do socialising with strangers much).
  8. Go down to Supercheap or similar store and get yourself a jack and two stands. HPX in my GT-R worked great for over a year, daily duties Liverpool to Chatswood. Didn't survive a few sessions of track work, GT-R is too heavy for it at those temperatures.

    Just saw the other post, doh.
  10. Ah dude you might be out of luck. Best to check with the local authorities.

    You have posted in the wrong section (this is the R35 GT-R section), but since you're new around here, I'll let it pass :P. R32 GT-R wheels are 8" so 205 is plenty skinny. Roll the guards for more width! You can look at running more negative camber to make them fit. Note that depending on height, the rear can change to -2.5° (too much), so you'll have to look at getting adjustable upper arms. For the front, you can either get adjustable bushes (Whiteline), or aftermarket arms like Nismo (gives about and extra 1° of negative camber) or adjustable arms (e.g. Hardrace, JustJap, other cheap Chinese stuff).
  12. Didn't he say he has QFM HPX pads? Those are street pads. A1RM is the street/track pad. Also, what kind of cheap arse jack were you using if it snapped? Get a proper jack man, that shit is dangerous. Before spending more money on another set of pads, how about removing current pads and filing the surface? Give the corners (leading and trailing edges) a bit of a file as well to create a chamfer. After that, bed the pads in by following the procedure above. This is the third instance I'm suggesting this. Both my cars have had HPX pads, both squealed when I first put them on. Filed the pads, and they have been quiet ever since. My R31 is ticking over 3 years now without a squeak. GT-R thrashed the pads after a track day, so if you're planning on doing track work, HPX won't last. But for street they are great.
  13. The trading section. Ebay, gumtree. You can also import some from Japan if you wish (look on Yahoo Auction Japan, once you find something, contact Jesse Streeter).
  14. Yeah you can transfer the engine and loom+ecu into a turbo shell relatively easy. Bonus is you get the bigger brakes (if shell comes with it).
  15. Had a kink on c pillar, but looks like the repair was done very well. It was otherwise immaculate.
  16. Look on yahoo auction japan, then when you find the link, contact jess streeter to bid for you (you tell him your max bid in yen) and send them over if you win.
  17. If the seats are cheap, buy them. If you don't like them, sell it!

  19. No point, Australia isn't rich enough to maintain the roads and teach people how to drive. Far too many Aussie drivers are struggling with 100 km/h. Irrelevant on this forum as most give a shit how they drive. I reckon this thing will get demolished in a few months.
  20. I paid $6k for mine (in Sydney) Rego and insurance is a killer though Damn Sydney!
  21. You would expect that uniting into a nation would lead to things like standardised train rails...
  22. On the barrels there should be a RAYS sticker with the sizes and offsets of the wheels on them. By the way, they look like LMGT2.
