anyone who paints an original Nur in Millenium jade in any other colour than the original Millenium jade ought to have the car taken off them and a stern talking to from their mother. There's a reason its a collector's edition... respray it and you'll instantly lose about 20-30k, cos then its just another 34 GTR with a respray and factory leather interior (about 50K on the market these days). Mod the mechanicals, tune it up, ADD to the car (east bear skirt kit etc in black looks hawt on millenium jade) but don't take away from it.

cheapest best bang for buck is gonna be an SR20 S13 Silvia. Cheap to fix Cheap parts Cheap panels can fit lotsa skyline parts and newer silvia parts for better performance. plus you won't be haggling against guys wanting 180sx's to put strawberry kits on to make into another show pony / weekend drifter. S13's a cheap and nasty, and they may give you Hep C, but goddamn that burn is worth the ride. buy it, beat it, fix it, beat it some more.

yes. according to the RAWS books from 2008 Australia complied roughly 36 skylines a month. that's a new skyline on the street a day... kinda. That's not including 15yr bombs, the 100 R32's sold locally, private imports and race imports.

i just got the interwebs back at my new place, so I can sit down to work on the site again. it will be epic (well it better be, I've been promising a new look for only 4 years).

hehe thanks for digging this up, i totally forgot about this concept I did... I'll have to finish it now... and a DR30 will be done in the process

Nt specifically targetting you here Sloane, but for the punters reading this, just note... "cruise" is not the same as: skids skating industrials paddock bashing minority bashing burnouts drive by chops drags ram raids mountain runs timed runs rolling start runs touge dori dori etc. so if you're referring to any of those, don't organise or ask for them on here... but if you're not after any of those, and just looking for a good old fashioned catch up, yeah hook up with dezz or Leanbac and they'll tell you where the next meet n greet n eat is.

adam, you just solved my tyre dillemas... I was trying to figure out what 225/40/18's would look like on 9.5J wheels. They look mint. hehe time to chuck em on the cef.

dang... chaser or mark II?

adam ... what tyres are you running on it?

didn't one of the cars come off the road on that NS cruise?

i don't think its that people who post in here don't like f&f. I'm sure they like it at least a little bit. Its just that they like making fun of it a whole lot more

lol you can't seriously think that you could post about FnF on SAU and not expect the thread to go offtopic into Vin Diesel quotes or VTEC yo pics. Its like posting about the coolest abortion technique on a catholic forum. Don't expect pleasant results.

meh, only temporarily... VIC reg tho Should be back in melb once my R32's ready to bring up.

You two in a committed relationship now hey?

ooo tyre shop hey? can you hook me up with some prices on Falken 452's?

another reason why you don't put GTR's anywhere within reach of idiot American kids. See what you've started Carlos? On the upside... more spare parts.

I use linux on my router, ADSL modem and NAS... and manage Xen servers at work that run redhat VM's... but linux graphical interfaces suck balls, so I won't use it as a GUI. Gimp is a waste of time and anyone who prattles on about VIM ought to be introduced to a vagina sometime soon. as a streamlined OS though, hells yeah.

i'm just waiting for em to finalise the myki smartcards so that I can program a code onto the chip too... so all i have to do to get on the bus is wave my hand over the scanner. I'll probably do the jedi "there is no fare" mind trick too for shits n giggles.

Merged all the Earthquake threads. Fark yas. wish I was back in melb to get my free butt massage.

I've got an RFID chip in my hand that opens doors and unlocks my laptop... does that count?

ahem... on the road and pimpin.

245? sif. man up and get a 225 on it... I'm going to try and get 225/40/18 on my 9.5's in a few weeks That said, unless you're going stupid low and need to tuck your perfectly flush offset wheels under your rolled guards, then you shouldn't have any valid reason to stretch em.

You're a frikkin comedian. Yes, those who join this merry band will be privvy to Paint Chips and LOLs performance tuning.

wait... wat? Offset is how far in or out from the centre line of your rim that the hub mount is. This has no correlation whatsoever to how a tyre will sit on your rim or how much a tyre's sidewall will flex.

he seemed to do OK with it while coming 1st in their local touring car championships he did run diff and gearbox coolers with NACA ducts.
