  1. Nick got some but not sure when we'll get to see them
  2. There are thousands of R33 GTR's already here, in good condition and cheap as chips. You would be silly not to consider one you can test drive and look at before going ahead and importing one. You wont save much money importing an R33 anymore.

    They dont let you bring back drinks these days. At the airport they were confiscating them. Apparently some people like to put bombs in Boss coffees or something.
  5. Haha thanks shonen. I'll try and drive it to more monthly dinners if they have good parking. I thought yours was pretty hot last thai orchid dinner. I like the lowered spoilerless look a lot.
  6. My car was suffering with shitty fuel syndrome after I filled up at Lindfield Mobile. I'm staying well clear of Mobile Synergy now. A bit of octane booster fixed it up for the ride home though. Anyway the cruise was fun except now im seriously sunburnt.
  7. There is no such thing as an m spec R33. There are Type-M's and Type-MR's but M-Spec is an R34 GTR model only. Type-M in R33 terms means it has a turbo. All R33 GTSt's are Type-M whether they have optional aero kits or not. Apart from that theres about a million threads covering the differences so look one up.

    The Food And Drinks

    I've eaten quite a lot of food in Japan and some of the more interesting ones i've had on my plate are: Live squid sashimi; This you eat straight out of the tank. The squid is alive, then slice alive, then served raw. When you eat the legs they attempt to stick themselves (with the little suckers) to the inside of your mouth. The chefs called this "kiss!!!". Oh yeah they also try and wriggle off your plate and hate when you pour soy sauce on them. Whale dishes; I've had whale in many different dishes - in a mid sized town called Kochi on the south coast of Shikoku there is a decent sized whale eating community. I had whale sashimi, whale hotpot and whale karage style (deep fried in batter). Whale is a red meat and tastes awesome. I've also seen horse sashimi but wasn't up for it due to the dodgyness of the restaurant i was in but it seems quite popular. More normal foods I loved over there were; - Cold soba noodles (great in the summer) - Tuna neck (giant tuna the size of small boats are cut up - the neck meat is like a cross between beef and tuna and swordfish) - Chicken curry rice (for 500 yen you cant go wrong) - Sea pinapple (some kind of see urchin thing you eat live or steamed) - Chawanmushi (egg custard with suprises of seafood at the bottom) I was also a huge fan of eki-bento (take away pre-packaged lunch boxes they sell in train stations) which help on those long shinkansen trips cross country. The best advice I can give anyone eating in Japan though is to find resteraunts with a bar where you can watch and talk to the chefs (and even drink with them while there on the job in some places) who make your food and you will have the best times. As for drinks i never got into the million varieties of teas but i did like the Boss coffee, the one that comes in the rainbow can is the best. My girlfriend loves the Soba cha but i cant stand the thought of drinking noodle juice.
  10. If it is a fuel leak you really shouldnt drive the car around its dangerous. Whatever it is get it to a workshop asap.
  11. It would work but its a lot of work for no gain.
  12. It's best to do it at the wheel if its seriously out of whack and do the in-cabin adjustment only if its a minor thing. Sometimes you might have to do both especially if you've frigged around with the wheels on and off enough for one day you can finish the job off with the adjuster inside.
  13. Im in for North Sydney.
  14. Why are you asking about GTRs when you're searching for a drift car?
  15. NOPE!!! but yours is! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> aww and I was thinking of bringing mine... Guess i'll just stay home that day Wait do stickers count as modifications???
  16. It couldn't be simpler, take off the rear wheels one at a time and on the hub you will see a plugged up hole for the handbrake adjustment. Unplug the hole and with a flat head screwdriver turn the small gear inside up or down depending on the way you need to adjust the handbrake. I cant remember if up or down is tighter or not but you will soon find out by trial and error. Make small adjustments and get the handbrake to about halfway between the current position and the desired position. Once youve done that, put that wheel back on and take the other wheel off and do the same to the other side until the handbrake now comes on at the desired height.
  17. Yeah i love the rear end of it.
  18. refresh! Well its not a big deal anyway - 18 pics and no other content. Though the pics are high res.
  19. I got mine from AutoOne in Chatswood. Autobarn in chatswood had them too. Dont know why your local autobarn didnt know what they were.
  20. Love the rear. Not feeling the front or side profiles. It is just a prototype though so i'll reserve my judgement for the next revision or until i see it in the flesh.
  21. I didnt drive the Sport but i drove a Clio 1.9 diesel around europe for 3 weeks and i loved it. Renaults are great.
  22. Only 3 hours till http://www.gtrproto.com opens btw.
