Mine always smells like gas. I think $7500 is reasonable - i wouldnt sell mine for less that 9500, but thats cos i love it. o2 sensors are really easy to replace, and not too expensive either. Lachie

go for the top ones... the bottom ones look like they are from a ford ltd edition TANK car that this old dishwasher guy at work drives. it has a gold badge and gold spoked wheels.

Sorry for offtopic but some of the best bodybuilders in the past have been vegetarian (before it became all about your chemist, not about your diet). Check out Bill Pearl and Boyer Coe, two legends of bodybuilding, both of whom are vegetarian. Personally i find it so much easier to build muscle on a vegetarian diet than on a meat one. As long as you have protein powder its fine, thats vegetarian (soy based). On topic, I own an R33 GTS. Any idea on the costs of converting it to LPG? Its just a straight six so it should be pretty close to the N/A fords and holdens that get converted all the time, right? Lachie

Gold would look great. I painted my rims a gold-bronze colour, and it looks great on my black R33. If you went a rex-style gold that would be mint. lachie

I would have to say its the baby itself, rather than a spirit in the house which is causing the problems... when the bed itself rocks gently, much like a cradle, you have to be suspicious. The baby is rocking the parents to sleep! Perhaps the baby has a powerful spirit and is just getting used to life in this plane? If that is so then the problems should stop after awhile. You could try making sure the baby is as comfortable as possible when going to sleep and is in general quite relaxed. I would recommend that you get an energy worker, such as a Reiki practitioner (you could probably find one who could help where classes about Reiki are taught) or a psychic. A Buddhist monk (a senior one who is very experienced at meditation) would also probably be able to help. Pretty much every high-end meditation book mentions that you will encounter spirits and beings from other realms when you get to higher levels of meditation. So the monk could help see if it is an actual spirit or whether its the baby's latent power. Also don't forget that everything happens for a reason... perhaps this is some kind of lesson in spirituality for the couple. it might not be too wise to get involved too deeply. Lachie

Reroute the exhaust pipe into the cabin when you leave the car Sure, your car will crash, but you'll have the comforting knowledge that a car thief burned to death inside it haha but seriously you can get jail time for doing that... one guy boobytrapped his car radio (in the us or britain, i think) and some dude tries to steal it... and he ends up with 3 inches of steel through his hands. however the guy who did it ended up going to jail for a few months, "intent to injure" or something like that.

Nice work Greg- those Coby extractors add a load of torque Great stuff. Lachie

Looks fkn great, man. Personally i love the stickers, they arent overdone or cliche. The Do Luck kit is beautiful. Great stuff. Lachie

All Japanese import cars run rich mate, my 33 GTS always has a strong smell of unburnt petrol becasue it is tuned for the higher RON japanese fuel; we have a lower octane fuel here so it runs rich. if its something that concerns you a lot, you can buy a programmable ECU and lean out the mixture a bit. should improve efficiency. lachie

How about not buying the car, and investing the money or doing something sensible with it... 40 grand in a nice hedge fund would be cooler than another toy that goes WHOOSH... especially if you are not made of money. now's not a good time to go into debt to buy a liability. Just my 2 cents, if you want the car go for it. Lachie

Its LP2 for the 33 and for the 34 its either LV4 or LX0. Check : http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/aboutgtr/history.html Spraying my GTS in that colour soon, i actually have the paintcode written in front of me Very nice colour. Lachie

The recent article in the Herald Sun here in melb said that it is going to have a twin-turbo V8. Lachie

Jar: just going on what my GTS-T friends have paid on their replacement turbos and parts and so on, after they have been blown up by massive boosting Running a car on higher pressure and with more heat, fuel etc. will make it more susceptible to breakdowns. What i love about N/A R33s is that they have the tough turbo engine without the turbos and associated parts. Altho i still had to pay $2500 in a lump sum for comprehensive insurance with Just Cars. For a nonturbo... So you need to shop around, its not automatically cheaper. And i'm not on my P's either. Lachie

I bought an N/A R33 for my third car and couldn't be happier, mate. Unless you're wealthy don't go for a turbo skyline, not only do companies gouge you on insurance, and with petrol prices rising so quickly these days pretty soon turbo cars will be unsellable relics... go the N/A R33 and it'll be fast enough for your needs, safe enough for you, and won't cost an arm and a leg to run, maintain or insure. To give you an idea of my fuel efficiency it costs me just over 10 litres to go 100km - the same as a lot of my friends 4 cylinder cars. People on here say they are crap, but to be honest it depends on your priorities. If you're willing to sacrifice a lot just for the extra speed, then go for the GTST. Otherwise a N/A R33 is a good choice. Lachie

I'm pretty sure i could rig up some awesome napalm sprayers Would give some bastard the shock of his quickly-diminishing life... Even some kind of electrified door handles... haha man you could go so far with these kind of ideas! OMG AND THEN I CAN PUT A .50 CAL MACHINE GUN ON MY CAR (anyone remember Interstate 76?). Back on topic, we can't really let fear stop us from driving our cars. I would imagine BMW, Ferrari and Porsche drivers would have it much worse, and there are loads of them on the roads everyday. Personally my defense would be to loudly shout out how crap my car was. Here's how it'd go: Carjacker: "I got a gun, get out of the car!" Me: "ITS NOT A TURBO AND ITS NOT REALLY FAST AT ALL!" Carjacker: "I don't care get out of the f**king car!" Me: "ITS WORTH ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!" Carjacker: "Get out of the god damn car!" Me: "THERE IS ALSO A CREAK WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS!" *carjacker leaves* Think that would work? Lachie
