Bump

That car belongs to the owner? of STZ Automotive in Northgate

interested in the trims... only problem is i'm in brisbane.... would you consider posting them (i'd pay of course)

have a pair of used, but good condition ones here... $100/pair ONO

interesting run.... highlight of the night for me would be being followed up Mt Mee for about 15km by a cop 4wd, sitting right on my arse, waiting for me to do something wrong.... after a while he slowed right down and dissapeared.... then got followed again after dropping Col off then got pulled over by the RBT on the highway (breath test, nothing more) much police activity!

not long to go now!

prenup ftw

heh, whatever i buy (if i buy a house) i'll be buying it by myself... women are money grubbers anyway.... no chick is owning half of what i spent my hard earned on so she can clean me out if we have a bust-up

just remember guys, no dickhead behaviour/dangerous driving/drifting etc. if i see or hear of anyone doing this, me and big dave will be onto you!

m0rt... BUGGER! Ian - I'll have a Hawaiian on Pan base

will anyone be bringing a UHF?

its been done before... i know a manager of a dominoes who has a Silver '32 GTR

Just got back from the Evanescence concert.... soooo good.... i :heart: Amy Lee!

exactly... i don't thrash my car on the street, i usually bleed/change brake fluid, engine oil, oil filter, gearbox oil, diff oil, spark plugs etc after a track day, as well as doing an engine oil change beforehand (and i use good quality oils for all of these). When i drive the car on the street, i always warm it up before it sees boost (i.e. it doesn't see boost for the first 10 minutes of driving) and also warm it down for the last few minutes before i stop the car. At the track i warm the brakes, gearbox, diff up and down before and after use. Gearchanges are not hurried and i don't slam it into/crunch gears, as well as rev-matching on downchange (less stress on the gearbox) There's a big difference between driving a car hard on the track and 'thrashing' the car on the street.

Yes.... my R32 GTS-t owes me roughly 30 - 35k.... its advertised for $16750.... Hrm, don't really want to get a R34 GTR (or any jap car for that matter) as it's simply too old for what i want.... also too many KM.... Car i'm looking at is a Volkswagen Golf R32 (Mk IV) - only 200 sold in Aus. Yes, it's a step down in performance to my GTS-t, but it's also a step up in style, build quality, refinement etc (hey, i'm getting soft in my old age, and what i want from a car has changed since i bought the skyline )

I've been thinking for a while of selling my skyline and moving to something newer/more refined. I've found the car i'm after... lets just call it 'Car A' - it is 3 years old (2004 model), majority of them have around 30 - 40,000km on the clock, and to have it on the road, would set me back approximately $50k to get said car, i would need to sell the skyline and then take out a loan for approximately $35 - 40k (over say, 5 years - i can afford it, and still be putting away some money each week into savings, after all my expenses are paid) now, i was all set to go, i have advertised the 'line for sale etc, even went as far as comparing loans from the banks and getting insurance quotes on the new car... went and looked at one in a caryard, have test driven one etc.... and last night, for some reason (probably 'coz one of my 'non-car' friends thought i was insane), i just got in my head the notion that it seems silly to spend that much money on a car (2nd hand one at that), and i should buy an investment property instead... and ever since then, my mind has been going round and round in circles, and i can't decide now what i should do.... I'm only 23, so i want to enjoy life/nice cars while i still can, but then again, i also want to be in a good financial situation in the future (i.e. have a couple of investment properties etc) what would you do in my situation?

probably why i didn't see/hear you... lol

ZOMG, i was spotted!

dude.... this run takes you that way..... when we exit at caboolture, just take the highway north instead of back south

Still for sale - open to SERIOUS offers

Still for sale - open to SERIOUS offers guys

i've been bitching with good reason, and no, i'm not going to elaborate on a public forum, purely for the abovementioned reasons, and they are the reasons i have never disclosed any details. so, kthxbai... unless you have a clue, stfu. p.s. i would like to second the motion that this thread be locked. and for the record, the issues i have/had with them are semi-resolved, it only took approximately a year to do so, and as such, i am neither recommending them, nor saying you should not go there, i am merely stating that i took my car there, and i had problems - as you can see, others have been there, and not had problems, so make up your own mind. Like Trent/Chris/Whoever that post from Mercury Motorsport was written by (i take it it was Trent) - everyone has bad days... maybe it was one of those days that my car was in there - it could have changed a lot since i was in there last.... but to quote the old saying - once bitten, twice shy.

they're like assholes....

hrm, sounds the same as the gateway northbound, between the shell @ nudgee and the boondal turnoff.... i don't think there's any original highway left there, it's all patches, that have been patched with other patches x 100... and when my car WAS damaged by the road, they didn't want to know about it and basically said "not our problem, tough luck"

agreed... another (well, many) negative experiences with mercury here.... they will never touch one of my cars again. oh, and as for other people who can remap the stock ECU, talk to matty spry, as i believe he can do it as well. failing that, you could fly drdrift up for another tuning tour.
