  1. If you can't find one BD4 Motorsport have all those English diagrams but if you didn't buy it from them they will try and make you pay diagram!
  2. As above. Do an advanced driving course if you really are that worried. Get good tyres. I don't understand people who try and save a buck or two on tyres. My R33 GTST came with Federal tyres 235/45 R17 and they are crap in the wet to the point of being scary. Couldn't even keep up with the traffic flow on the highway because it was so bad. Changed to my favourite Yokohama's and it is like a totally different car. Another thing, just because a car can go fast, doesn't mean it has to be driven fast all the time. Lay off the right foot in the wet and the big boost rush won't be a problem. Short shift (before boost) if you can't help yourself. Always drive to the conditions.

    Roll Call

    I would be covering Toowong
  4. Which is quicker to 100km/h, R33 RB25DET or 1.6L escort block with lotus twin-cam head, dual 45mm webbers and 500kg chassis? NEED MORE BOOST!!!
  5. I also have a couple of other classics. I just can't bring myself to sell them!
  6. I bought my car from Auto J Mart (or AJM) about 15 months ago and I have no complaints. I have done 30000km since then and haven't had a problem. The only money I have spent is on fun stuff, and thats the way it should be. But I will say, like all sales people you still have to watch them. They are there to make as much money as possible and at every opportunity they tried to get me to sign on the dotted line before they completed the things I asked for. Thats normal though. Just do alot of research. I only wish I knew then what I know now, it would have made purchasing, and more importantly bargaining much easier.

    Skidpan Day

    What better way to spend a day of the weekend! If there are any spots available I be there!
  8. I would be keen. I got a few mates which have been trying to drag me out there for months. Is there anything else that may be required?
  9. I too am with Suncorp. I have a 94 R33 GTST, I am 25 with a rating 2 and I get hit for about $1450 for full comp. I have a few friends in other insurance companies and they either don't touch imports or cannot come close to that price. If anyone can better Suncorp let us know!
