  1. From my experience, the Positive is actually toe out. But to be perfectly serious with you. Set it to zero. Too much toe in can also cause squirming. I had a MAJOR issue, where the car was crabbing around, unsettled underbrakes, hit a bump and it would wander around, and it was ALL in the rear toe, strangely, too much rear toe. The rear tyres were basically "dragged" around. Most of the time, you'll find what you're feeling the "front" is actually from the rear.
  2. In VIC he/she can drive it. I have an R33 GTS-t, I'm on my green Ps, I drive it legally (I don't have restrictions) also, I'm in NSW. From what I've read, you loose your licence straight away, fair fine on it, there's also the fact the car could be taken/towed, you also have no registration or insurance whilst driving with restrictions in a restricted car. Hence, you hit someone, your f**ked for life if you do some severe damage. I was, at a point in time, being pulled over for random breath tests (and licence checks) and honestly, I can't blame the coppers since it is a restricted car for most P platers. I drove quite a few cars before getting the 33 (Owned an old ute *still do* and a VR Commodore, plus drove multiple friends cars) and seriously, I was still unprepared for how the turbo car handles and drives. I'm still learning another 9 months or so on, plus doing skid pan days to learn more, and seriously, on the road, these skid pan days are making me drive more like a cat (Very cautiously!) If you drive it, and you're restricted, and you don't get caught, you're bloody lucky, but the day you have an accident, you'll be reemed in the ass for the rest of your life. Oh, and it also goes on your insurance history for 5 years, so once you get off your Ps, if you've been done, you have that problem with getting insurance...
  3. Be aware, that when you change the flywheel to a lighter component, you will start to require more throttle when climbing hills. And by more throttle, I mean a significant amount of throttle change for hills.
  4. From what I've heard it's only meant to be 10cm high...
  5. I'm about to attempt this today, except I'm going in a backwards order sort of... I'm pulling off some aftermarket springs, and putting ON some stock springs (The car is way too low at like 318mm middle of wheel to guard in the front!) Anyway, what I've been told, and will report back on, is to jack the car up to the required height off of the chassis or some other point, and throw a stand under at the chassis. Now move the jack over, and once the wheel is removed, jack the hub up also so that there is sufficient pressure on the hub to make it look as though the hub is in it's "normal" working spot. Now put the spring compressors on. Now lower jack away from hub. Now spring is compressed and locked. This takes the preload off of everything. Do the same for putting back in (unfortunately you'll have to tighten for AGES with a bar... ) I'l let everyone know how I go today, but yeah, that was what I was told to do, so I'm gunna try it...
  6. From what I have been told, when you hold the Andra licence there are certain regulations on top of what others have, that you then must abide by also, or you cannot run at the track again. The extra regulations are all involved with safety aspects in the car etc. And yes, there have been incidents over the years where people have lost control of cars, whether they be the high end dragsters/funny cars, or road cars, there have been accidents in all, and the severity seems to increase dramatically once you pass under around a 12.5second 1/4 mile.
  7. Have you got a price for the Cat and a price for the carpet in the boot? Also, what would you want for the diff? Is it just hte normal VLSD?
  8. Hey Haven't had a chance to get hte photos up yet as I lost hte CD for my phone to upload photos onto the PC. I'll get some more this weekend and transfer them. I'll be pulling the DVD player out tomorrow also completely, but I have a 12Volt power supply at home that i can boot it up from to prove it is working.
  9. I'm in definetely! These are a bloody awesome day! Even though they go through no "theory", when you get out there, you learn SOOO much about your car that I don't think even a track day can teach you! (The boys don't care how much rubber you leave and smoke you make!) Seriously, for those who missed out last time DON'T MISS OUT THIS TIME!
  10. Would you courier the tyres?
  11. Brendan: Can you please send me a copy of that file as an excel spread sheet to tonystump_at_telpacific_dot_com_dot_au please?
  12. As above. You can't convert the car to NA, as it's classed as a performance modification (although for the worse) The same withs wapping engines Your best bet is to buy an N/A one if you want a skyline, and later on convert to turbo.
  13. EPA will test for emmisions EPA will test for noise level as well (As can most exhaust shops) To clear the other issues, you will most likely need a complete AUVIS inspection? (Blue slip) Just make them happy, and it's all schweet. Also pods are legal on any car as long as they are enclosed. And if the copper ever wants to see what air filter I'm running, he's more then welcome to pull my air box apart and put it back together. But I hope he's carrying tools... Also, if you get defected for BOV or POD etc, fix it, and KEEP IT FIXED! The history stays on your car, and when they write out your notice, they research what has been defected before on the car!
  14. Cat convertor? 3" ? Think I've roasted mine... Carpet in boot?
  15. Ha ha ha, don't worry, there were a million others who spun too... So, who was it on here that managed to park theres in the mud?... I'm not happy! You should come clean the inside of my car! It's full of mud from trying to push your car and put that snatch strap on!!!
  16. Jeff, the very next photo in my actual library on here has you in nearly the same spot, facing the opposite way... ROFL!

  18. Brendan I think I have a photo of you when you went around with your foot planted. I'll upload just a couple now and people can have a looksie... Mianly found the dori dori photos and shrunk em a touch.. LOL
  19. I want to go sliding around again! I had an absolute awesome time out there, and later in the week I'll be able to do the uploading of the photos that I have here that my mate took. Have photos of everyones cars, in basically everyone single run, with only 1 blurry one! Photos are HUGE too if people want them once they're up, let me know and I'll send large ones out. And I'd just like to thank the whole crew that organised the day, it was an absolute great time, and I actually learnt HEAPS when I was out there. I'll be in for the next one... Will definitely be coming up with a touch more rubber this time too... Although grabbing the handbrake, plus first, at the same time, then ending it with dumping the clutch at full throttle to pull off a u-turn was hella fun! And knocked 1 second off my abysmally slow time... LOL Bos was great when I went out with him, showed me where I was going wrong. I'll be in for the next one, just one suggestion, can someone order the sun to be around 26 degrees not 36 degrees PLEASE!
  20. I'm still here, I just haven't had a chance to get the photos yet... Need more time in the day!
  21. It's in the idle setting menu. It's not to hard to fix. had to do it for a mate.
  22. If it's squeeling sounds like a turbo gasket on exhaust side
