yeah... 6:20 right now. mark should be packing up his little scooter and heading home from the auctions right now

0011 81 n then the number without any leading 0's.

epic lulz... probably not in fluoro aqua tho.

i had a clean sheet till 11:45 on the 31st of Dec 2007... got clocked 15k's over the limit n lost a couple of points trying to get to the countdown with mates on time. ah well.

is that the inside of the white beast?

Hehe, with an attitude like that, you'll fit right into the loony Stagea owner group... welcome to the forums... and check out this section: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ussion-f82.html

yeah pretty sure Ford's emissions test cell was in Lara, at their proving ground. edit: http://www.acart.com.au/emissions.html

lol was just typing out a reply to you. just to update stagea hyperrevs are both sold now. as are the skyline ones, except for Vol 89 and Vol 37.

there's that bonnet again... what is it, n who makes it? the lights were made by a bunch called Infiniti in japan. They still make em for the S14 I think, but they've stopped making the R32 ones. one of the cars autostyle got a long time ago happened to have em, and I suppose a mould was pulled and now its become their "trademark" on the R32's they tune. wouldn't bother with em, I got a set down from japan many years ago and they're great for show or race use, but for street use they suck balls. Unless you enjoy blinding oncoming drivers and having poor beam focus.

if I ever get another 180sx in the future, I'll be putting a 2005 stang front on it with something like a Steeda or Saleen kit... it actually works alarming well due to similar rear body lines. They look f**kin rad, just love love love the styling cues comin out of the US as far as sports cars are concerned, all retro with modern twists. The new stang, camaro, transam (concepts) etc all look awesome. wouldn't buy a new stang out of choice though. Solid rear axles are cool on shitty old rustbucket AE86's and that's about where it should stop.

its a special edition GT-R CarTop mag/mook. I can do some proper scans of it if you want. Vic, being a special ed they'll have it for a while in stock.

hehe I was gonna say with the price of S1 R33's dropping so much, you'd be better off buying locally. You'd be able to inspect it yourself for added peace of mind.

lol why would it cause a melt down? 12V is a lot less harmless than 240V. it is a step down/stabilization circuit that can generate some heat, but nothing a good heatsink can't fix... and not nearly as much as an inverter can create. Basically the car outputs 12V DC, which is what your radio and amps etc all run on (actually 10-15 volts usually) and the PS2 runs on 12V DC (both slimline and classic... the classic has an internal 240V to 12V converter, whereas the slimline has an external converter). What you're suggesting is getting a 12V signal, converting it to 240V AC, then plugging your PS2 in which uses its internal converter to convert the 240V back to 12V. Doesn't that seem a kind of roundabout way to do things? way more efficient to just put the 12V output from the car, regulate it, and put it into the PS2, bypassing the internal converter. Its cheaper, less lossy, cleaner and therefore more efficient. You don't have to use the cigarette lighter socket either, just take out the circuit and wire it directly into the 12V stereo wire.

I have a ceffy... but its in Syd with my old man atm VIC reg tho There was a black cef and a gold cef at the RE Customs dyno day.

do you even read the replies to your thread? lol I just gave you a rundown on how to use a PS2 without an inverter.

Depending on how much the purchase price is in japan (which depends on the condition of the car, mods etc), and also where its bought from it can cost between $9000 to $13,000 landed and complied ready to be registered. Here's an example of the price breakdown: Car cost (in Japanese YEN) ¥280,000 Agent's fee in Japan (FOB charges) ¥100,000 Exchange rate (yen to AU$) 96.00 Total car cost in Japan - $3,958 LOCAL COSTS Import Agency fee $1,000 Shipping ($2,045 from some Japanese ports) $1,850 Import Duty (10% of FOB cost) $396 G.S.T. (10% of CIF value) $545 Cost of compliance $2,200 Total cost before registration (AU$) $9,949 So you can see a car that costs about $4000 to buy in japan will cost about $10000 all up, ready to register in australia.

you can cut it, and buy the N1 lip (or was it v-spec lip?) that goes over the front of the bonnet to cover it up. usually costs about $150. quite a common way of doing it... but you still have a heavy bonnet at the end of the day.

PS2's actually run at 12V DC internally. So what you'd be doing is taking a 12V DC (average, it does vary) supply, using an inverter to convert it to AC, then converting it back to 12V DC. pretty silly if you ask me... and very inefficient. Its pretty easy to build a voltage stabiliser out of mobile phone chargers that plug into cigarette lighter sockets. gives you a nice clean 12V DC supply, which you can then wire into the PS2, bypassing the internal converter. Total cost would be about $20 max plus some soldering time. Or if you have a slimline PS2, you can buy car power supply packs for em premade.

I can't see an Ascari A10 in the subzero section

full body vinyls have been around for a decade now, advertisers use it quite often. lol nice scheme... stop calling it a full body vinyl, call it foilacar and rake in the $$$.

wow that bonnet is a pretty nice design. do you know where the previous owner got it (I'm assuming they put it on) or what model it is if you don't mind me asking? car's hawt. good buy.
