mr baron, will the trust kit work with my existing trust hard pipe kit? i will have to bin the airbox, obviously...

yes 18 x 9 +20

lol GTRs are shit. sell it.

I'm with you - if it wasn't for the bigger brakes, I'd have kept the standard 16s and run a lower ride height. the stock rims look AWESOME. just have a look at Dirt Garage's silver 32 when it was in drag spec with the stock 16s. Hot stuff.

a couple of fellas in an AU Falcon ute with dirtbikes in the tray took the effort to wind down the window, and shout "Skylines Suck!" at me. gold.

he's just doing his job. i got sent to the EPA ONE DAY after picking up the car from a respray, new turbos, tune etc etc... he wasn't an arsehole, nor was I, but legally, he was right - i went to the EPA and sorted it. yes, he does a lot of skylines, but he also does a LOT of shitboxes too - I was having a chat with him. There is no "shitboxesaustralia" so you don't hear about him getting these wheezers off the road!

hi hus, who built the gearbox? cheers

bargain. fatz - does the trailer chirp second with the GTR wheels?

yes, clearly the link I posted is for Vicroads. How about you use a search engine such as "google" and find RTA for their regs? If you can drive a computer to find SAU, you can find *and read* the RTA rules and regulations yourself. sorry if that sounds harsh, but so many people come to SAU and ask questions that can be researched independently on the internet (in terms of legislation, rules and regs) and get hearsay and rumour based answers such as "my cousin's mate got done by some piggaz for his coolerz and carbon so itz illegalz". Get the info directly from the source.

GTS-Rs are awesome. Just not Ash's. lol j/k you know i love the 31 ash

if it hasn't been crash tested for occupant/pedestrian safety as part of a New Australian vehicle, then it's defectible. Come on guys, It's not that hard to figure that out. here's a good place to start with our Vic rules: Vicroads standards

nick, bikes have a higher limit - think it's 9Xdb or something.

if the older we get, the more irritable we get, then we're all in trouble. happy birthday mate!!

what are you smoking roy? you want a 9.5 rear, but you're asking for a 17x9 +28 to +30? what is the question??? you're a weird unit.

Ive got -5s in mine - if you're running standard capacity, stick with the -7s. better low end ps mine is std bottom end, unopened, 340rwkw

nice brakes

happy birthday man, feel the funk oh yeah!

Also, there are a number of considerations with trying to adapt the FPV gear to your 34... with enough $, you can do it. off the top of my head, these are some of the things you have to consider 1. will the front rotor offset (how far in or out it is, in relation to the hub) work on the skyline, and is the stud pattern the same? will the wheels clear the rotor and caliper, given this offset 2. will the rear rotor offset work? What will you do with the hand brake assembly? Adapt the FPV one, or run custom rotors and rear hats over the handbrake drum? 3. do I need custom brake lines make up to suit (probably likely) 4. will the caliper configuration work (be possible!) with the skyline front/rear knuckle assemblies? They may not physically fit! 5. what is the cost of custom hats and dogbones? Note that radial mount calipers are MUCH easier to make up brackets for, than lug mount (lug is what the factory brakes are, generally A/market are radial). My recollection of my hats were ~500 front pair, and ~250 for the brackets. 6. brake balance - will the skyline master cylinder be the right size to push the larger or smaller pistons? will i get a pedal with no travel, or lots of dead travel? that's just a start! I don't want to put you off trying it - i wanted to do this on my 32, as I could get some FPV stuff relatively cheaply - but in the end went with AP CP5555s front and factory 33GTR brembos at rear, with a larger rotor. The ultimate question is - $7K will get you a bolt on solution from stoptech; you'll probably at the end spend that on the FPV setup. Also, the FPV setup may not work, or be a lot of farking around to get working. hope that helps...

yes

thanks mate, you're a nice guy! i don't have a 34, but I think it's just a temp sensor on the outlet side of the cooler. you could just run the cooler without the sensor until it arrives (as long as you blank over the sensor hole), but you won't get a reading on the MFD for intercooler temp. You might also get a warning light or the MFD might not work if it doesn't detect a sensor - who knows...

The FPV 6-pot ft and 4-pot rr (option) is a good jigger...

holy dig your own thread up scooby!

selespeed is a known prob with alfas... ps, where you been, rianto??

baron you ar$ehole, bring one back for me. fark! lol

bargain.
