    How Many R34's In Sa

    in South Australia

    Posted

    As for me Ive bought a corolla sportivo... now before you laugh I get 720 KMs to a tank and it has 150 kw from factory... check out how they go here.

    I rented a corolla for the last week at sunny coast and struggle to get more than 550km with plenty of highway travel :)

    it's not the vvt-li 1.8L like yr's but they still goes pretty good, much rev happier than my line

    Sau Driver Training Day

    I did a course with John Bowe Institute of Driving. They do everything really, I did a racing and skid control course. Taught me how to get more out of lap times and handle the car in a skid. They do a range of courses and its basically doing laps of Malalla with a professional driver (I had a V8 Supercar driver with me) and they instruct you on your technique. Then you compare your times, but they also do a advanced driving course at Malalla too which is the same but less focus on car position and more on control.

    I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to learn their car in a safe environment (Advanced Driving Course) or likes to learn to shave seconds off lap times (High Performance).

    Courses are expensive (like $200-300) but you get group discounts, you dont need a CAMS licence and its the only time your allowed an instructor in the car. You get lunch, drinks, breakfast, etc and the pretty much as much track time as you can handle.

    very keen, please give them a call and see how many people they require for group discount :sleep:

    from memory i have seen similar thread at least a few times in the past.

    Everytime, we have a lot of people express their interest but can't make it at the end for various reasons

    so please ask for a deposit before organise anything to avoid disappointment

    Sold Her Skyline $7500

    Keen as to buy a house soon, and to keep the Line would be really hard with maintenece and modding and really you could drive down the road anyday and BANG get a defect, and there goes the fun right there...........

    So unfortunatly i would prob leave the import stage for a while whilst i sort my financial things out first!

    There would be a few things i'd need to clean up on the beast before selling, So it wont be too soon, but still hopefully in the nearish future!

    made the same rational choice, hence driving the r34 right now.

    Feeling bad every now and then, a very painful path.

    Something i thought i should get something real slow so I can completely forget about performance and 100% concentrate on the goal

    Who Has Actually Upgraded Their R32 Gtr Brakes

    in South Australia

    Posted

    I was going to upgrade the brakes in my 32GTR a while back but the cost of the callipers{brembro} was shall we say $$$ {best price I could get $3500 including second hand disc's} the big thing there was SECOND HAND

    it's a rip off

    the Ferreri F50 Brembo front brake kit is about $3000 (calipers, 355 2 piece rotors, pads, brake line) brand new in Japan

    even you add postage and tax it won't cost more than 4g
