dark blue/purple 33 turning into Braddon Mobil around 11:30
That was me.
Dark Blue
I live in Melbourne now, although the missus is there for another 4 weeks yet - with the car.
-
Well the owner has had 2 Stageas now and also an ATESSA Bluebird. I don't know if they specialise in them, but they're certainly getting to know them.
The boys are starting to know them, quite a few skylines are going through there.
-
if anyone has the kit installed locally i'd love to know how fitting was and where.
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!
-
how much is it to get fitted, so this is just bushes???
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)
-
So - there appears to be a reasonable amount of satisfaction in the outcome achieved from having the 'kit' ftted.
Understatement.
Interesting to see after you've tightened it up
-
Seeing that the line on opening night was huge, and I'm expecting similar as news spreads on how good this movie is, I'll be getting there early for a place in the que. I'd suggest people do similar, as most waiting Trans' Fans (different from a Trannie Fanny, I believe) will get a bit p1ssy if the group storm forward and claim a spot near the front held by one person...
See you there!!
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.
-
well then...
I'm guessing it's pretty good!
Does that mean you're coming too now?
Or are you piking for some car show?
pfffft.
-
What's wrong with it? Marc said something to do with the intercooler. Anywho I'll be there a bit tomorrow, should say Hi.
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.

spotted nsanity's car on the hoist at goodyear tyres in belconnen. your car took time away from mine so i couldn't get my gearbox finished, damn you!
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

I'm looking at a 92 R32 GTR which is said to have quite a few modifications which I have had the dealer list and have added below.
I would appreciate some opinions on the modifications listed given I intend to use it for Hillclimbs and occasional track days and still drive it to work. I would also like to know what to look for, what to avoid or change etc in order to get it over the pits here in ACT. What do they look for?

TOTAL $47,070.00
The dealer wants 35k for it.
I'm not sure if I'm better off buying standard and doing some of this stuff myself, or let someone else do all the work.
PS: It needs Federal tyres on it though
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.
-
Its harsh to say he deserves it, going from AWD grip to RWD would be a bit of a step
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.
saying that I cant see any black marks on the roadMy Sport Maxx's don't leave lines - well don't appear too. I would assume they might if you smoked them.
-
The thing that got me the most was that not one car even slowed down and this happened on a busy street, to check if the poor guy was ok.
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?
-
He means those lines that lead up to busy roundabouts (one at the major erindale roundabout and on monaro highway near chisholm)
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).
-
ill be there, a tiny bit late but ill be there.
ive got the thermos, jacket and beanie at the ready lol
The "Donnan" style.
-
I dont really feel any thing it just the noise d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d.d. when u could have a normal road
Boost or Stereo is all i hear... I'm starting to question what kind of skyline you own
-
Those big white line painted across the monaro highway , i know they have been there for years but they are like little speed bumps
sack the bastard who set your suspension up.
Seriously - they are nothing...
-
Anyone know whether there will be signage up for these as per all other fixed cameras?
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
The Epa Thread/Roadworthy Thread
in Victoria
Posted
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?
