  1. http://www.carcentral.com.au/20080514664/s...onvertible.html Lots more pics with the new hard top in action..sweet new color.
  2. http://www.carcentral.com.au/20080520702/r...ccord-euro.html http://editorial.carsales.com.au/car-review/2934946.aspx New-gen Accord Euro is looking pretty good. Fuel in the R34 is killing me and i can get something in this price range as a company car - was thinking of getting one of the new Mazda6s but this could be better. What you guys think.. I'll be happy as long as long as it doesnt need 98 ron fuel
  3. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/superca...hp-at-the-hubs/ If this is true then it might explain why the car is doing so well despite its hefty weight. With 15% drivetrain loss were looking at around 550hp!
  4. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/coupes/...ossible-v-spec/ Race version or possible V-Spec? Would be awesome if Nissan made a Porsche GT3 style model
  5. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/coupes/...n-silvia-240sx/ What do you think guys? God I hope not. Looks too much like a budget sedan or something.
  6. The $80k is US pricing, which is just shy of what you'd pay for an M5 up there. I suspect it will be about 120 - 140K here
  7. Cmon, so what does everybody think about it? It's not aggressive enough IMO but i bet the aftermarket guys will take care of that.
  8. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/coupes/...08-nissan-gt-r/ This is it guys.. looks superb. Can't wait to see it in the metal.
  9. Not sure how much fuel the S15 uses, but my 34 drinks like a fish. From 50L, i'd be lucky to get 400km even when driving like a granny. 300 - 350 ks is the norm, but i drive it pretty hard especially when the tank is full. Fuel is crazy expensive these days. Parts are also more expensive and harder to come by I've found. Then there's the more expensive insurance for an import. A Jap spec S15 would be hawt.. with a clean look and no spoiler.
  10. Assume it'd be cheaper, no need for that wet sanding and the final doesn't need to be smooth.
  11. I believe Nissan used VQ engines for the last year that the R34 competed in the JGTC, not sure tho. Also, i think the VQ3.5 is lighter than RB engines. Go a twin-turbo set-up from APS, would be an amazing car. Always wanted to do it as well, but would miss the sound of the RB.
  12. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/superca...-black-miracle/ Was thinking of giving an old U12 Pintara TR-X a matt finish, with matching black rims and tinted glass and lights.. Going for a whole sleeper look.. Ferrari looks hawt in any color, can't really say the same for the Pintara.
  13. WTF??.. i think that guy took the whole 'Canon muffler' thing literally.
  14. http://www.autoaero.com.au/shop2/product_i...products_id=277 There is no modifications needed to fit a GTR bar and bonet to a GTT right???????? GTR bar is designed to fit wider front fenders, correct me if i'm wrong but i believe the mounts are different as well, bonnet hinges and latch are different
  15. Mate don't screw around with window tints.. Make sure it's LEGAL. I think it's 35% in NSW. I've heard it's one of the first thing insurers look at when investigating.
  16. Which area you in? BD4s in Gladesville is great.
  17. Hi, i need the driver's side headlight and front-fender for an R34 GTT coupe. Appreciate any info if anyone has one or knows who supplies them. Located in Sydney. Thanks, CT
  18. Mate you need to get your hand off it, and I don't mean your gear-stick. If it hasn't occured to you, there are many on this forum that appreciate cars other than Skylines. That's why we have the 'General Automotive Discussion' forum. Stop posting useless comments. This IS the final production version, press release has come out today.
  19. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/sedans/...hi-evolution-x/ This is it guys. After seeing those original shots of the new WRX, looks like the new Evo will put an end to Subaru.
  20. WTF? He probably couldn't launch it properly, but that's still no excuse.
  21. Yes, i too would like to know where to get the carbon-fiber boot lid for the R34. Got some rust around the center brake light....
  22. Isn't the whole point of adding carbon-fiber to the interior to add strength and save weight, using stick on stuff is just adding pointless weight. Hey, it might look cool but isn't this RICE?? Plus it looks like it's gonna start peeling any second, Pull it off before it leaves sticky shit all over the original surface...
  23. Dude, i feel for you. I'm stuck using my mum's old Pintara as I try to get my car fixed. My biggest fear is the car will shit itself somewhere busy, it hasn't been driven regularly for more than 2 year. Can't believe it happened to you.. I hope some decent person helped you. The other day my mate's car broke down on 2 separate occassions so he bangs on the hazard lights, first time some retard taxi driver behind starts flashing and horning him, second time there were cops behind and they just horned him too. Never even got out to help push it to the side. WTF BTW: Anybody got a working phone number for Body Form at Prestons for someone named Peter?
  24. Thanks for the tips guys.. got a couple of recommendations for Body form.. but the phone number is dead. Anyone know Peter's contacts.
  25. I've called JetSpeed and Carmate in Sydney... anyone used them.. Do GTRs really have different headlights to the GTT, i know the bonnet is different..
