  1. Actually, there would be NO right-of-way !! Therein lies the challenge It's like what I'd like to do with F1, throw 2 stock Hyundai Excells on the back of the grid to make the racing more interesting !!
  2. Excellent !! Thanks for all that info A. Yeh, they really are a great little turbo, even on an RB20 Here's the only other pics I took.
  3. Just wondering if there's any meaning to the code on the data plate of my turbo ? I understand the GT2535-56T bit but does any of the other code have any meaning like a production date or something ? Thanks.
  4. WERD !!! I've always had this dream of owning an international airport as a race track !! The real challange would be dodging the mobile aircraft on the runways and taxiways during the race
  5. Ed, If it's not happening all the time there's a pretty good chance it's the coil packs. When you get the coils out, have a good look at the clearish plastic window on the side and see if there's any burn marks, bubbles in the plastic, cracks etc, etc. Also, pull the rubber boot off the end and check out the carbon contact ( and spring ) to see if it's shot. The carbon bit contacts the end of the spark plug and can errode over a long period of time. When I had my HR31, sometimes the car would be OK but when the coils packs got hot, the fault would show up. I replaced my set with a set that were in much better condition and problem solved. If you do need coil packs, give me a yell. I've got a bunch of really good condition ones. Otherwise, have a good look at spark plugs, wiring, connection plugs etc for general condition. Hope that helps you some
  6. The F1 would be nice but drifting a Zonda is mighty tempting too Maybe if we pool all our money together we could..........hire the track for a day ?!?!
  7. So, who's in ?? http://www.dpccars.com/car-movies/06-29-06...ercarResort.htm
  8. Interesting point...... I'm pretty sure R32 GTS-t, S14 & Z32 front brakes are the same, so yeh.
  9. Gee, I thought the purpose of this particular thread was to discuss opinions on the machining of 1 brake rotor vs. 2 at a given time and not to put down other car enthusiast's pride and joy ( even if in jest )
  10. Although not in Sydney you could get what you need from Maltech ( contact gR33ddy ). Or, you could get in contact with GT Motorsports in Kirrawee on (02) 9521-4389 as they can organise street legal S/Steel brake lines for you. Hope that helps
  11. I would have to say that I trust brand names. With brand name products like Cusco, HKS, GReddy etc. I know the R & D has been done, the product will fit first time, every time, and they will back their product. That's NOT to say that I approve of the prices you have to pay to get these products !!
  12. PM's re NISMO Pads replied to. Cheers.
  13. I know it's not exactly helpfull but "pedders" ........... "charge like a wounded bull"
  14. Easy there Geoff.......... I did say "IMHO" ( in my humble opinion ). I didn't say you were wrong !! And my opinion is not exactly an uneducated one either as I've been an active Motor Mechanic for 22 years ( cutting my teeth on Ferrari's, Lambo's, Porsche's etc ) and an Aircraft Engineer for 19. I have also been working with race cars for around 12 years. As for the overhaul of one caliper thing, we're talking about an average street car ( no offence Abo Bob ) that would not normally receive the same amount of attention as most race cars ( in the brake department ) and therefore my comment. Simply put, what I said is what I was taught and is what I practice, and again, is my "opinion" so chill !!
  15. IMHO, "ALWAYS" do pairs ( fronts or rears ) when it comes to brakes !! Would you overhaul 1 caliper ? Always keep the braking even between the left and the right.
  16. Amanda, I'm actually amazed that that's the first you've encountered this type of behavour. For some reason, driving a skyline seems to attract dickheads like this. By all means, make a report with the police but don't honestly expect any result. Even if you give them a full lic plate, the chances are that nothing will happen. Police are virtually powerless unless presented with good evidence or multiple witnesses. Hope you're going to be OK !! Just remember, Sydney has a insane amount of drivers on the road and sooner or later you're bound to come across the occasional idiot. Just avoid them as best you can and let them go on their way. If you're really lucky you'll pass them further down the road after they smash into a tree ( I speak from experience on that one ). Best of luck ! Now go have a hot chocolate and think about something else.
  17. Up for sale........ Japanese made ( TOP QUALITY ), Stainless Steel 3" Cat Back Exhaust to suit R32 GT-R & GTS-t ( 2 door & 4 door ). The exhaust flows VERY well with no restrictions. Being Stainless Steel, it'll last a long time too. At idle it sounds like a lion purring and doesn't get much louder than that at full noise ( zero drone ). No chance of getting a db defect with this on. It also doesn't hang down low, so clearance is good. It has one minor dent on the front pipe section ( refer below pic ) but it has no effect on the performance. SOLD $500 firm. Pending Payment - Pickup in NSW only. ( Sick of dealing with f/wit couriers !! ) Check my Trader Rating people PM if interested.
  18. SOLD
  19. I used these on my 32 with EBC Greensuff pads and was VERY impressed. Makes for an awesome street setup and works great for the occasional weekend warrior ( but no good for the hard core track junkie ). I would have stuck with them if I knew where I could get more ( I now know ). Some people complain that they wear out too fast but IMO, it wasn't that bad and the stopping power and lack of brake dust was worth the wear rate.
  20. If money is your main concern......... Blitz has an X-Force Cat Back for sale to suit an R32 then talk to BATMBL about the rest of the system. Should fit in the $1,000 price range.
  21. SOLD.
  22. Knob & Short Shifter sold !!
