hi guys had my first bad experience when it rained in melb yesterday, was taking a standard turn around and roundabout at about 40km/h (not accelerating) and the back end totally drifted and almost put me off the road, lucky i was taught how to correct shit like that but anyways i was extremely surprised how easily it lost tracktion, i think its probbaly i have shitty tyres, they came on the car and are brand new but i dont think they had the fact that it rains in the world when they designed them as it doesnt seem to hold at all in the wet, is this a common skyline problem or just my tyres ? if so what tyres would you guys recommend, im a newbie driver and i dont do anything stupid,i'd just like to be able to not hold up traffic going half the speed limit when it rains i wanna be able to trust my car in the wet if yas know what i mean

17 inch i didnt pay for them i dont care if they're plastic, gees calm down you guys, they came with the car so im not complaining as i rekon they are unique and look wicked but yeah they're 17 inch and the tyres are very thick, they make the car sound like a wheel bearing is out of whack so soon im going to have to get some new low road noise tyres

the thread aboyut not being invited to a cruise by me has alink to pics

they're not black!!! they're carbon fibre, grr i h8 when people say they're black, lol

so what u guys think ?

the sun acrtually wasnt beaming dude it was quite dark all day, just very humid LOL!

here's the car itself & the carbon fibre rims, my beautiful baby MY BABY!!!

ok ill see what i can do

my camera has flash but it wont do justice for my car or the mags, i need a nice bright sunshiny day

sorry guys got held up, too darek now for pics, if its sunny tom orrow ill get em done as ill be home all day

gimme 30-45mins

they are coated i found out, but they still look sick and i have been told they're still worth $7k, lemme go have ashower and then ill take a pic and post

no worries

can i come donw to watch and show people my car ?

i live near broadmeadows, tullamarine airport, my area is westmeadows, anyone close to there ? i've seen HEAPS of skylines around and been ackknowledged by them all lol one big happy family

anyone wanna arrange something small? i wanna meet all you guys and your sweet cars and show my sweet car to you guys anything organised for this week ?

its seriously like a 1 min drive from my house LOL

near my house, if you like i could show you if you come around ? i live in westmeadows near tullarmarine airport, this one is ALWAYS open

off my own topic but anyways, is stamp duty a once off payment when i register a newly imported skyline ? coz i dont wanna pay $700+ per year for rego lol

i weighed my skyline without anyone in it the other day and it was exactly 1.4 tonne or ton whaever it is i dont know the difference im too young for that shit lol!

elaborate

wher's the best place in melbourne to buy a boost gauge and how much should i expect to pay and what's the best brand/best looking ? do i base my decision as to which one purely on looks ? or does the accuracy/quality vary ?

32 is, 33s are what we have

yeah in mine all i can hear is the turbo a little (and sorta the engine) but thaT SOUNDS NICE, BUT ANYWAYS how do you soundproof a car properly, is it easy to DIY ? or is it something apro needs to do

why would you make such a nice cxar loud ? i learned my lesson doing the exhaust on my last car, if i do the exhaust on my skyline im gunna make sure i can't hear it much from the cabin, otherwise ill leave it stock
