  1. how can we compete with a place that sees optical-fibre as a bare minimum?
  2. For what? Drag racing?? A T88 is a laggy, plain-bearing, straight-line turbo.
  3. sounds about right i know someone who has spent $10K on more sub band-name parts than you for 355rwkw there is nothing more capable of emptying your wallet than a fully built GT-R...
  4. you could kill someone doing the speed limit what's worse- driver inatentiveness, or someone pulling into oncoming when they shouldn't?
  5. yeah, we know all about 'shitty new rules' in Au
  6. You'll find (or import) a decent one eventually. Then you'll be 'tha man'
  7. if it's 25 mm different from side-to-side, just walk away
  8. +whatever for standard I've never heard of a GT-R that will make these leak
  9. 25 mm is a whole heap of wheelbase difference. You sure the factory wheelbase measurements you are using are correct?
  10. oh i'll be there, with bells on (p.s can someone lend me some bells for the weekend? )
  11. and you'll cause even more people in poor countries to starve by pushing up the price of corn to make the ethanol (i know, i know- we make ethanol differently here in Oz)
  12. They are a much better tyre than the ZIEXs. Just check the manufacture date wasn't 11ty years ago (tyres go off)
  13. given that the previous generation NSX cost $245000, i can only imagine how hideously expensive the next one will be even if it is a little quicker than the R35, i bet it costs around twice as much
  14. yay for reasonable race start time- seems France is good for something Dezz, your Av is teh homo
  15. snapped this Titanium-coloured beauty in the backstreets of Balmoral when i was caning my murdersickle around the lower north shore this afternoon so rare to see Ferraris with aftermarket rims in Oz
  16. it's supposed to be the whole reason that people buy anything secondhand from businesses- to have some sort of recourse if the parts are faulty. stick it to 'em as hard as you can if they wanna continue to try and stooge you.
  17. May as well Yeah, the wet-road acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear is best described as 'hilarious', at least thats the effect it had on us. lol It's a fairly tractable engine- You can feel the torque curve really starting to swell just before 3500rpm, then it gets more serious at 3800, and goes absolutely manic from 4000... and flings the needle from there to 7000 in a blink while all four tires break traction in the wet It should be an epic thing in the dry; a real workout for the neck muscles. If it ever stops raining for more than 30 minutes at a time, that is =P It's going to require an ECU change to run the last 5 or so pounds of boost that the turbo can run efficiently, but I reckon that, combined with cams and a better intercooler and some silicone lower hoses should see around 550rwHp (410rwkW) without too much trouble. That would only take the injectors to ~90% duty cylcle too, which leaves plenty of safety margin. Time for that dry-sump setup now... Got the obligatory shot of the manifold glowing tomato-red during some constant load tuning-
  18. you've got a short to earth somewhere
  19. muzzas are full-sik hecktic Lebs, bogans are the sort of Aussies that rule 'the hill' at Bathurst.
  20. you host a race event at your place so i can sell hotdogs out front so what if you lose money, i'll be rolling in it (your logic).
  21. he's probably only really interested in copious quantities of the purple note, uleh
  22. fo' sho' im just not a fan of adding 150kg to such a nice car and reducing it's rigidity as well =[
  23. This morning on the King St exit of the Western Distributor, Darling Harbour 360's look best with the Challenge grille- shame it's a Spider tho'.
  24. looks awesome but you can get a full front and rear GREX upgrade for much less than that these days
