  1. Bring the two with crappy tyres to wakefield sidd
  2. Understandably, and you should be scared also... Nice result but, looks good
  3. Any recommendations for tinters around the Shire area? Also any way of telling whether the tint will offer UV protection? Keeping the car cool in summer FTW!!
  4. Well Im pitching a tent in preparations...
  5. More info needed mate. Are you running any form of boost control? If so what? Also, what is it set at? What boost does your car usually run? What is it hitting now? How does it reach that boost? Does it come on like normal then stop climbing at a lower boost pressure? Or is it more sluggish to reach a given boost pressure? Knowing these answers should help eliminate a few possible causes (eg boost controller, wastegate, stock solenoid etc)
  6. Damn, that looks sex!! Nice buy!!
  7. Has it been thrashed on the limiter for 100,000km or has it cruised in 5th gear for 100,000km? Is there inherently anything wrong with the engine as it currently stands? Hairline cracks, excessive wear on components? Whats its existing service history like for the entire life of the car? Not just since you've owned it. How much boost has been run through it so far? Through what turbos? How regularly? Has it been on the track? Regularly? In what conditions? Even *if* you knew the answers to all those questions (and probably more too), you *still* wouldnt be able to give a definitive answer to your question, but you would be able to give a better, more informed estimate. You wont find a definitive answer mate, people will only be able to give you an idea of what a GTR in that condition running those turbos would *typically* be able to handle
  8. Have you had a look at the type, gap and condition of the current plugs yet mate? Not much point in asking what plugs you should be using or if its the plugs causing a flatspot without finding those details out first
  9. Hahahaha would love to see how they look after a good stint on a circuit with the *real* calipers getting nice and warm...
  10. All the same, painful to see a Ferarri with a bulldozer sitting on its roof...
  11. Oh please please PLEASE get some videos!!
  12. Yeah not at all your fault mate Glad you understand what Im saying. If youre serious about doing it then I 110% look forward to seeing the end result, because an RB30/26 powered gem or rolla would be pure insanity Assuming you do go with this idea, one thing to consider (Im really not sure about it personally) would be what gearbox you plan to use, and how much the tunnel would need to be modified/chopped out and replaced completely to get it to work... I wouldnt imagine that geminis or corollas would have a huge amount of transmission tunnel space?
  13. Sorry mate but looks like you've misinterpreted something if you think what I said wasn't useful Youre the one who came here and asked 'how hard it would be to put an RB26/30 in a Gemini, Corolla or something along those lines'. And I answered you by saying that through having to ask that question, you already sound like youre out of your depth in terms of difficulty. Im happy for you to go ahead and burn up some money on a gemini and prove me wrong, but until then my useful words which answered your question still stand champ
  14. This typically is the kind of question that if you need to ask on a forum about how or if it can be done, youre just dreaming about doing it. Sorry mate, don't think its realistic unless you have stupid amounts of money to burn and a capable workshop doing the labour.
  15. Hahaha how crazy, I had a set of those particular rims on my 180... (no I certainly didnt buy them, they were on the car when I bought it) Glad nothing like that happened to me!!
  16. I think it looks like quite the beast... Interested to see what the final pricing will be - seems to be getting debated quite frequently of late...
  17. Damn, the things I'd give to own either of those cars!! Awesome!!
  18. Take a stab and say 253kW?
  19. Big motorbike store up here in Sydney, called Sydney City Motorcycles. http://www.sydneycitymotorcycles.com.au/
  20. Looks awesome tacker, well done Look forward to seeing more pics of her!!
  21. Im using Motul DOT 5.1 and it seems great, no complaints here. Im assuming RBF600 would only be better still...
  22. Yeah personally Id be looking at boost, oil pressure, water temp, exhaust temp, fuel pressure
