  1. A tune is probably the answer. Maybe your timing is a little off. Dyno will solve both.
  2. 18x9 rear, 18x8 front.
  3. What more can you ask for in a video? Bloody loved the R33, my pick of the lot. The MCR R34 was the weapon though, awesome track car. Interesting how easy it is for the R35 to calmly keep up with monster GTRs.
  4. I think the problem with this legislation is the grey area it creates. Police have MORE authority to decide what 'happened' and the appropriate punishment for hoon behaviour. If hoon activity occured there should be punishment within reason. End of story. But what this does it propogate the stigma that anyone who modifies their car is a hoon. Even if you drive a 400hp Skyline to and from work, like a granny, pay your registration, follow the rules, give way, indicate at turns and hand over your money for ridiculously priced premium fuel- in the eyes of most police you will always be seen in a negative light. You can be pulled over without warning. To those of us behaving maturely these laws won't really effect our lives. But bear in mind that you have LESS chance of defending yourself whether you are right or wrongly accused of an offence, and MORE likely to be viewed with contempt. This stigma of modified cars ruining society is the problem. Hoons ruin peaceful streets. Illegal modifications ruin the environment. Enthusiasts and legally modified cars are as good for society, and social culture, as home renovation and fashion shows. Apart from SAU events and track days, being an enthusiast takes up a decent proportion of my social life and has made me a number of friends. So i agree with some of the other posts, that we need to make the effort to remove the enthusiast community from under the banner of HOON CULTURE. In a way we need to be viewed the way citizens view Porsche and Ferrari drivers, with something like a halo around our heads. That'll take some time to achieve, hopefully these laws will make it easier if we band together.
  5. I have the Apexi pen style timer, it's good and not expensive. They have them on Nengun.com so check it out. I had an HKS pod filter, was good, but my tuner chucked it and put on the Apexi filter. Reasoning is the HKS pod (or any foam filter) needs to be oiled. The oil gets into the intake system and fouls the AFM element, meaning the meter will need to be cleaned more often. So don't get an 'oiled' filter.
  6. Yeh i think it was in the RB25 upgrade section. I was scouring the results so i can plan my mods list! When i saw your post i was like How does it go?
  7. Matt, your situation makes me angrier than the original poster's case. It's complete BS that you have to sack a HWP officer to get justice, which would be a pain in the arsecrack as it is, and then forever put up with his mates who, i can imagine, pick on you every chance they get. What right do they have to pick on you, if you're innocent, just because they're copper mate was a d!ckhead? We all know it's because they can. They're there to enforce the law. Not play games with their authority. It makes me fume. I'd do the same as you. It's either be fair with me or i will fight you. Glad you sacked the pr!ck.
  8. I think i saw a post by Joey saying what power/mods he had. Was it over 300rwkw? If so he'll need a while to explain the mods
  9. I'll drink to that
  10. Wonder what the cop would say to that? Hey that's sexist! (I agree) Lol i'll tell her about your post. You'd be an inspiration i'm sure Makes me drowsy just thinking about it.
  11. Poo. I can see the excuse for the markup. But that's just bad business. If Nissan Oz charged $250,000 what would YOU do? (Buy a Porsche)
  12. Only chumps talk about babes If you got da chicks there's no need to talk aboot them I prefer to look
  13. rofl What if you're kids are ripping each other's hair out in the back? What if you're BUSTING to pee? What if you've worked the night shift and have had 2 hours sleep in 48 hours and drive home? You won't get fined for those but they distract you.
  14. Ohhh yeahh. Here we go. Since i've owned my Skyline i've realised put some blokes (you too Anna) together with their cars and watch them chat on for hours about front mounts, 1/4 mile runs, cop chases, dyno graphs, compressor housings, wheel offset, 4 cylinders vs. 6, 6 cylinders vs. 8, how to order a boost controller online, turn-in + apex + exit speed, HICAS lock bars, plug gaps... watch this continue at the meet...
  15. Some awesome Skylines coming
  16. How about asking someone to repair the wheel
  17. When you compare fines for biting into a crispy apple, with dodging traffic at 160km/h, it just looks ridiculous.
  18. Don't forget to toss before you test it out. Oh, and post pics too. Of the waterspray. The one on the car.
  19. Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete Love the pics. Keep em coming.
  20. How many KW did it give you?
  21. I agree with the points you've raised guys, thanks for that. It seems that leaving things like "don't eat drive" from the learner's manual but potentially booking you for it later on is illogical. My bet is she got picked on for being on her P's. She almost cried What's the lesson in all this?
  22. I've got a question, A good mate of mine just called me saying she was given a 'warning' by a cop (btw in NSW) for eating while driving. Let's call it "eat driving" Anyway, she's on her green P's and drives a Festiva. Hasn't had a fine yet. She was at a red light eating a sandwich, had been fasting for Lent and was starving. So that's why she was 'eat driving' The cop pulled her over, told her off, scared the sh!t out of her, and let her off with a warning. WTF? Is it a traffic offence to 'eat drive'? What's next? "Mate, i'm giving you a fine for breathing. Don't do it next time."
  23. The ballast is a good idea for the spectators. It doesn't benefit the teams much, but i know i'd be bored watching a GTR 10 laps ahead for an entire race. Close competition gets bums on seats Anyone remember the R32 GTR?
  24. Awesome. Exciting to see the R35 getting beefed up. I bet the guys working on the car are happy
