Ho hum. So... Registering things in the land of VIC. The car was previously registered by its prior owner in VIC, however whilst it "passed" a roadworthy cert in VIC (i got one done by the previous owner), when i brought it to ACT i had a bunch of problems - since rectified. However rules aren't the same place to place. When I hit ACT i ended up getting it engineered with the following to get it passed (as well as having it retinted). Non-standard Rims/Tyres, 18x8.5, 18x9.5 rears Non-standard Fuel Delivery System (Fuel Pump etc) Non-Standard Exhaust Electronic Boost controller FMIC Non-standard Coilovers Body Kit Strut Brace Non-standard steering wheel Now the only thing to add to this is, it has a Pod (and powerfc). Although its mounted and has a seperator (not a box) between the pod and the engine bay. The car passes exhaust in ACT and I'm not overly worried about that here, but the pod/FMIC combo seems to worry me from the others experiences here. Basically - what should i do to the car before taking it over the pits?

That was me. Dark Blue I live in Melbourne now, although the missus is there for another 4 weeks yet - with the car.

The boys are starting to know them, quite a few skylines are going through there.

Goodyear Autocare Belconnen - Formally Belconnen Discount Tyre Service.

Team SAU - ACT division stormed the Belconnen mall and consequently the Cinema. Thanks to Jayce's keen early birdness, we scored the first seats in the house. Movie was great, chat was great and thusly the SAU ACT Peanut gallery was born!

Couldn't really tell you, Ask Marc2. I had a ton of other work done as well. And yes, all i had done was the Bushes (bushes were about $800)

Understatement. Interesting to see after you've tightened it up

we booked our tickets online. that way we just walk forward and pick that crap up from the red carpet stuffs

So, I went for a blast in the car tonight, up and down black mountain and mount ainslie (twice). Holy f**king Shit. My car sticks oh so much like glue now, it ooozes confidence in a corner. I figured i'd have a fairly different beast to drive, but this was just ridiculous. I had a friend come for a ride and he simply couldn't believe the sheer amount of grip i had (he drives a WRX, slightly modded). This was just SK's Bush kit (the lot, camber, caster front, subframe and 2x camber rears). Roughness of the car hasn't really changed, But its so much tighter now. Unbelievable. Highly, HIGHLY recommended. Best $800 i've spent on a car, ever.

I'll be out tonight.

Does that mean you're coming too now? Or are you piking for some car show? pfffft.

The list for this job was 2x Rear tyres Fitting of all Bushings (front and rear - incl subframe) Fabbing up a new Power steering Reservoir to rack assembly Fixing an odd fan belt noise on start Brake Squeal (when warm) Fixing the intercooler mounts properly replacement of radiator hoses and coolant flush power steering flush I booked their mechanic all friday and by the looks of things mon, tues and some of wednesday.

I know I sound like a broken record at times on here - But i can't recommend Marc, Stewie and the boys down at Belconnen Discount Tyre Service enough. Sure my car isn't on time - but they get things done properly and keep me informed all the way. Seriously. I'd recommend them for anything upto performance tuning/turbo work - even then, i'd probably give them a go. 02 6251 5977

OI! I booked them well in advance AND told them to quote the time!!! Not my fault they haven't got it finished yet!! Also. Spotted Marc2's work pulsar in an odd location.

I guess we start the list then... LTSJayce + MrsGT nsanity + 1

Uhh, aren't Brembo's standard on GTR's? Dyno Tune price looks a bit much ($500 is about what you pay in Syd/Melb), Spark plugs? who lists spark plugs? There seems to be quite a few "Fit" prices that don't line up with parts. For that kind of money in a 32 GTR, I'd expect a monstrous hp figure, dyno graphs, and the whole driveline in tip top shape. Not to mention the car be in good nick.

On a track, yes. On dirt out in the sticks, yes. Driving it out of an intersection - You're a f**king idiot. I have no qualms with people giving their car some stick, just as snooze said - pick a semi-appropriate place, a busy road isn't one of them. My Sport Maxx's don't leave lines - well don't appear too. I would assume they might if you smoked them.

Probably because everyone was looking at him as a hoon who got his just desserts. From the pics provided, there is no sign of the road being slippery - you said yourself that the car has been freshly put together (i'd assume with decent tyres). It simply looks like someone gave it the boot down onto a high traffic road and is now paying the price. So how did he end up almost wrecking the car?

I like them. One of the few things that Canberra has done right imho. Altho they are quickly reminding everyone that they are a bunch of fags and putting speed cameras in with them to boot as i understand (Barton Hwy, Federal Hwy).

The "Donnan" style.

Boost or Stereo is all i hear... I'm starting to question what kind of skyline you own

sack the bastard who set your suspension up. Seriously - they are nothing...

good question. it will mean that ACT will choose between being scum sucking f**kbags like Victoria, or just f**kbags like NSW.

Great night, despite the chef being out. Good to meet some new people, great to chat with some others I've already met. Yes Shell, i'll wash the car next time

Well I've got Shell, so there is no excuse for the rest of you not showing up
