get the V-spec II nur instead, easier to get a hold of one as there are more around and worth more in the long run anyway, mainly because it is the 'proper' GTR and not some GT cruiser version which the M-spec is supposed to be (i.e. a little softer). I believe I saw an M-spec Nur at auto salon or something last time here in Perth, nice looking car

noone got any ideas?

reckless driving is 45km/h over the limit (or doing something stupid like burnouts). if you are doing between 29-40km/h over it is $700 and 5 points during a normal period. You won't lose your licence, but obviously with the way you're driving it won't take long. Forget about retards tailing you, they get bored if you don't play back. radar detectors are only useful if you're going maybe 10-20km/h over the limit as anything more and chances are you will get done before you have the chance to slow down enough. And NEVER ever let your folks/friends take the fall for the ticket. If they find out you will be charged with perverting the course of justice (and so will your friend) and would likely receive a term of imprisonment. I had a client use his dad to take the fall for a multanova ticket, they found out, 12 months suspended term, and a lady got someone else to take the fall for a minor car accident, 12 months immediate term. It's not worth it. Follow the road rules, go to track days with SAUWA and don't be one of those tools on Today Tonight making us look bad.

I've got a better idea, how about you keep the quiet exhaust. Anyone will tell you that as long as your exhaust isn't restrictive the quieter the better. There's nothing worse than an idiot with a fart cannon who thinks he's special taking off at the lights doing 0-60km/h in 10 seconds. It's much better to have a quiet exhaust, attract less attention from the cops and others will just laugh at the gay sound coming out when you're doing 40km/h. I had people come up to me at the drags and ask how I got my car so quiet, it's better than all sound and nothing else.

started a thread here for trying to get my door glass out. I figure if there's anyone in Perth who knows what to do (or able to come down and help out ) then I'd really appreciate it...I've just had a bad experience with O'Brien's trying to fix my civic door window 4 times without success so I don't want to pay them to screw up the GTR.

does it play divx? also did u connect it up to the MFD?

Yes but then all your volk stickers come off...those pesky things! wonder if someone can powder coat the label on at the same time as they powder coat your rims...

ha I saw the white 09 civic, spotted easily although not super different to the my06 models.

searched for topics and there seems to be stuff on R32 glass removal but I'm trying to get at those felt pads on my R34 to clean them but I realise I'll have to remove the glass first to get at the rear ones. I've got the trim removed no problem it's just what to do next any idea how to remove the glass from an R34 gtr? it's driving be bonkers because I don't want to rip off the plastice first and start undoing bolts if all it's going to do is screw it up some more thanks!

love this car since cannonball run oh my god it's jackie chan!

I would say Galant VR4's, cheap, rare and can be found in manual. Soarer's are OK, but more of a luxo coupe so maybe not your style. Levin BZ-R if you want to save money and fuel but still drive something different (but FWD of course), otherwise old AE86 but getting too old to find a clean example. leaves you with local S14's

yep was crazy...saw a few cars around from SAU but in the end couldn't keep track of everyone, just too many people there. Not really a traditional cruise but it was good to see some of the different cars around and to help the cause. anyone know how much was raised?

I'll see if I can make it after work... ...out of curiousity who do these funds go to? i.e red cross, salvos, etc.?

may I ask how it blew and what happened? how many km's did you get out of it before it died?

what do you think about posting them?

yeah the security guards think it could be the 'same guy' because of the similar style in which the break in seems to occur. They're trying to find any security footage but it's unlikely. Just shits you when it happens at 1pm in a very busy car park and noone does anything.

OK classic case of some opportunistic wanker who has broken into my black 8th gen civic whilst I was doing some grocery shopping at Galleria Morley. The guy has smashed the passenger window at around 12-1pm today (7th Feb) and taken my radar detector. The detector wasn't on the dash at the time but in the centre console so they probably looked in or saw the window mount. The detector they took is an old Beltronics XR950. It is quite old and would usually come with the leather pouch. Whoever has taken this one would not have the pouch. So if anyone saw anything or spots one for sale on any forums, ebay, quokka, cash converters, etc. I'd appreciate knowing about it to maybe send some goons around Now I gotta get my window replaced after they screwed up bits of the interior too...and I've only had the car back from the repairers for 4 days... grrrrr

so who was down there?? I didn't see this thread before I headed down there with a mate in his F6 typhoon. Saw Simon, I didn't catch the names of the other skyline owners there. Mine was the stock 34 GTR with the TE37's, not the lovely one with the GTC's For everyone's benefit my stocker ran a 13.7 which is probably pretty spot on for a stock 34. My mate's F6 (BAII) ran a 13.8 which is stock except for being flash tuned to 270rwkw.

i think princem is a car dealer trying to make it look like prices are lower than they actually are to get a bargain and then upsell to Jo Public.

basically say you were trying to evade a tailgater and get out of their way or out of fear. I've been advised of ppl being followed for the purpose of stealing their car so it's not such a far fetched idea that this happens.

remember the plates and report the incident to the hoon hotline otherwise just don't take the bait, whether it's a cop or not I just let it go. You know you're car can smoke theirs but you don't have to prove it on the road. Just feel better knowing you could if you wanted to.

best to list the parts you've got in there and what tune you're running on. It's one of those things where I think the workshop will be able to justify the bill because of the amount of time spent on your car. But that's why the advice has been to take it to another workshop, because these guys may lack the experience. It could be that they took 5 hours to find a problem that would take another workshop 1 hour. So best to part ways me thinks.

hmm this 98 debate, I usually get about 400km out of BP98 but I recently filled up with caltex98 and it could only manage about 350km...not sure what happened there. On another note mate has bought an F6 typhoon and flash tuned it. Just with tuning it is pushing 270rwkw, but importantly the tuner advised that the caltex98 currently in the tank was causing some issues with ping and he had to retard it a bit. He advised that with bp98 he could get about 5kw more. Even more interesting is his advice to actually use Peak 98, as he said in his experience he could get even more out of it, and that it may in fact be about 100 octane fuel. No idea if he's talking outta his ass but he is the tuner, and I guess the engine doesn't lie when it starts complaining about fuel.

they may have amended the legislation. I believe 2nd offence is up to 3 months anyway. I thought 1st offence was 48 hours but maybe that has changed. 3rd offence is they take the car and sell it.

do the girls mind photos? or will they pose for photos as well just for fun?
