I think i should bring some cushions for the back, want to bling up the recaros

Yep as a P plater you probably don't need a GTR just yet so the advice is sound to save your money on upgrades, etc. and just learn to drive a standard NA. By the time you get off your P's you'll be in a better position to judge the road (and other road users) and then you can jump up to something more powerful with the money you saved by not modding your first ride. I will go a different way and say you should get something reliable (depending on what you need it for) and therefore a little newer. I suggest something like a 350GT or 350Z like: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat....aspx?R=6647058 if you want a sedan you can have one like this: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat....aspx?R=7230052 I'd recommend a low end merc as well but they are supercharged and I'm not sure if they are prohibited (I assume so).

any idea what postage is to Perth? edit: what is the standard battery size for the 34 gtr? I think the guy installed a dodgy small a/m one in mine as it tends to go flat very quickly.

query; who here wants to start their own drive show

what I don't understand is why people do the stuff to skylines...I mean surely if you're jealous of a ride there are more 'envious' cars to own. I mean strictly speaking price wise there's much more expensive gear out there like the european cars that I don't believe cop as much flack. Even a new HSV/FPV is going to cost more than most skylines so why bother?

what you probably need is the remote...which you probably don't have.

yeah I think if you're going to mod it, well you might as well buy JDM and save $50k

parents help guess I can't bring a r35 since it's not regarded as a skyline anymore

haha yeah I can't find anything about it anywhere...he must have the dates wrong but I'm pretty sure he thought it was soon to be held ... maybe the eediot is thinking somewhere over east ...

2 drivers sounds good, but I don't think they would be in it to win it so to speak, so my options are to find someone that wants to do it competitively or go there with a few mates and perhaps have a bit of fun rather than all out attack, in which case having many pit stops won't be of any real concern.

hey friend of mine said he heard something about a motorsport event happening on 19 July in WA. Any idea if anyone knows anything about it? He said it was an event where you enter your own car I think for about $500 per car. any help is appreciated.

there you go pic of my car a friend took. Nikon D3x testing out a 105 f/2 DC. mmm bokeh...but the 200 f/2 has creamier bokeh I find, 105 is great though because it's more versatile, lighter and cheaper

R35 is the only way to go ... wonder how many HSV/FPV heroes you'll get, they produce the big dyno numbers but would probably fall down on the track. Depends on what the weighting is for each of the tests. Exotics would also be up there, so what they should have is price categories, both in terms of starting car price and price of mods. At least that's what I would do to keep it competitive and also informative (BFYB stuff).

anyway back to the phone...is it unlocked or will you be getting it done?

i love your ad troll bot! delete thread me thinks...

haha you can vote my 34 GTR if you want...you're right though it is a stocker...Just running the TE37's. I just chucked it there because my friend took the pic and he wanted to show it off need some moola to mod!

I have to ask the silly questions so as I understand it, it's $320 per kart, so if I have say 4 drivers it would be $80 each? 2nd question is for those that have done the race before, how many 'forced' pit stops are there i.e. for fuel, etc. and how many times did you have to stop in the race? I'm just trying to work out how/when driver changes should be done.

well if someone wants to co drive with me I will enter Is it SAUWA members only at this stage?

well if they have to meet emissions targets...go for it! At the end of the day, you have to have it's big brother to get one which is a smart idea. Makes it easy to say 'I drive an AM' and I think the resale will actually be pretty good because everyone that can't afford a proper AM will look for these on the 2nd hand market. Just please don't make it look ugly which it does so far. Turbo it.

OK so does anyone need a co driver ?

Actually I think you're wrong there martz, sure 'ring times are great for marketing but I wouldn't say it's an even playing field for comparing cars. The main reason why is it's simply too long and a public road. Rarely, if ever, does a car have the 'ring to itself for the entire lap, there's usually traffic somewhere unless they've booked out the whole track. Now because the track is so long there's usually large variations in track conditions such as weather. And of course there is always a different driver at the helm. so while I would accept the times, I wouldn't necessarily say it is the 'fastest lap' a particular car can do.

it is TGA, you can't help it the only real difference here compared to overseas cars are falcons/commodores. The rest is the same imported stuff and chances are after they screwed up the Lambo last season none of the exotic car companies are going to lend them anything good

tut tut...anyway I have had clients who have been charged with such dangerous offences for throwing bottles out the window general road rage which turn into assaults. Bottom line is, get as much detail you can about the person, car, incident and report it. Sure, the police might not do anything but in my experience they sometimes do and it's better than nothing. Otherwise you'll need to see me for your road rage

I got 18" white TE37's, shouldn't be too hard to find no idea on offsets or even width, haven't taken 'em off the car since I got it.
