  1. Love the pics guys. Thanks for sharring. I've missed everything this year thanks to work
  2. Spotted Bluprint on State Circle last night around 11:30 ish. I was standing on one of the overpasses with a few other guys
  3. No idea, sorry. If you call Ray, he'll explain what's involved. Cheers J
  4. Hi JD, Dickson is really inconsistent. I've seen some people get away with things that others got picked up on. So here's my 2cents: does anyone know if stock 33 springs will fit into TEIN coilovers ?? or what will ? - the standard springs will not fit into your Teins, different diameter. Also, they tend not to like height adjustable coilovers. One of my brothers just wound them up so the car was legal height and he got away with it while my other brother had to get his coilovers engineered and locked off at a certain height to pass. HKS Air Pod (fully secured, but not in an enclosed box) - if the airfilter is exposed, it is considered a fire hazzard so they might pick on that Front Mount IC - if it isn't original from factory, they won't like it. it changes emissions etc etc Boost guage on dash - i think it depends on where it's positioned, ie: does it restrict vision, is it likely to cause injury in case of crash Turbo Timer - illegal, for safety reasons, it will keep the engine running incase of a crash tinted windows (think they will defn get me here) - depends on how dark full 3inch apexi exhaust (gonna buy a silencer to quieten before i go in) - depends on what sort of a silencer your planning on getting. They don't like the ones that attach to the exhaust tips, they'll want you to weld it in. They also know about people getting "rego mufflers" just for the inspection. My brother did get away with his but they did make a note on the inspection sheet. It looked pretty funny, a 3inch pipe reduced to a 1 1/4 inch pipe and a Hyundai muffler. manual boost controller - manual or electronic, all illegal, changes performance, emissions etc - that's if they find it though Apexi Blow Off Valve - only legal if it's plumbed back into the system, if it vents to atmosphere again it changes emissions, fire hazzard etc Strut Brace - should be ok as long as it's secured and not obstructing anything in the engine bay TEIN Coilovers - like I said above. I was also talking to a suspension guy the other day and he mensioned that the inspectors won't pass poor quality coilovers like Pedders ones so I don't know.....you could just try your luck raising the car with them but because you got defected for being too low, chances are they'll look closely at the suspension in which case you might need standard struts and springs to pass. By law, the lowest part of the car (it's usually the exhaust) has to be at least 100mm off the ground. If you have standard parts, you're probly better off putting them back on the car. It's a pain in the ass but gives the inspectors less things to pick on. If you want stuff engineered, I recommend Ray Spence at Canberra Motor works in Mitchell. Hope I was some help. Cheers J
  5. I'll raise that offer to $600 for the GTR! I'll even let you keep the Federals....?
  6. I used to see that car at work a fair bit last year.(yes, I did spend a fair bit of time drooling over it ) Never meet the owner though. Always looked clean. It sounds sssweeeet.
  7. You have PM Mick
  8. Ooooh yeah, these are the V8 versions. The V10's will be absolute weapons. Yummmm
  9. Keith wants to know how much you cost Mick :laughing-smiley-014:

  15. Oooohh sounds like it's gonna be on next year More the merrier I say. Love the pics J, can't wait to see the rest. Ps: I don't mind being mistaken for TURISMO, he's ok but I'm better lookin :laughing-smiley-014:
  16. That's right "Starlet", you will be
  17. (HUGE HUG) 4 Michele XOXOX I have to say, it was a sad sight seeing the mighty Godzira sitting there, unable to move. We kind of knew something was wrong when you flew past with the engine revving it's t*tts off smelling like burned clutch. I had lot's of fun today Beat my PB twice and my best split time twice but the interesting thing is that they weren't on the same runs. If only they didn't decide to put me into a higher class halfway through the day, would've walked away with the trophy. Oh well, I'll just have to come back with my bumpers on next time
  18. That shot of the GTR looks awsome Mark. How good does the road look?
  19. When I got mine, rang NRMA and as soon as I said it was an import, the guy just said "we don't deal with imports" than there was an awkward silence. So I said "thanks, bye". Was expecting a bit more after being with them for years. Anyway, I'm with Shannons. Send a PM to _8005TED_ , works for them, I got a good deal through him.
  20. NOT IF I CAN HELP IT! MUUHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
  21. X2
  22. I bought a set of 18" jdm wheels a while back, they came off a JZA80 Supra. The back ones fit, although I would've had to roll the guards but on the front I would've needed fat spacers. Not sure what the offset was on them but they sit nicely on my brothers Supra now. (the b*#$*rd)
  23. Sorry, I just changed the link. It should work now.
  24. Hey guys, this has nothing to do with Skylines but thought you might enjoy it. It's a couple of years old but it's still pretty cool. I love the sound this thing makes and the acceleration is just phenominal. Here's some of the specs: The car is a Norma M20 Chassis with a 3 litre DOHC, 24V straight 6 BMW engine in it making 400hp, mated to a 6 speed sequential gearbox. Max speed on the Bourgelais Village course (not sure if this is the actual one) in the French Hillclimb championship is 230kph. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=439195
