  1. that car is just insane. I love it.
  2. I'm in windsor, I have r33 s2 gtst coils sitting in my garage. I'll sms this to ypu as well.
  3. In light of all the cop-hating in the first 5 odd pages of threads in the NSW section, I just wanted to bring an example of cops that are ok. Last night I was dropping two mates off at the pub and on the way got pulled over for an rbt, and while the cop was at it, went over my car with a fine tooth comb. I sank 4 beers at a mates place then left to go home. When i did the count to ten into the machine, it obviously registered a reading, and the cop asked me if I'd been drinking. I said I had 4 beers while eating dinner and waited around for an hour before leaving because I didn't want to get done drink driving. The cops reply was "fair enough mate, you've got a reading, but it's under the limit, so thats ok, now pop your bonnet". Thats when I went 'uh-oh'. Cop: Have you got any illegal modifications, pod filter, bov, exhaust, big rims, anything like that? Me: Yes officer Cop: Do you have any engineers certificates for any of these things? Me: No officer Cop: (looking in engine bay) What else isn't standard in here? Me: Erm, the pod has an enclosure, the front mount isnt a stock item, theres a boost tee type boost controller, but the blow off valve is a stock item, the loud atmo one's arn't really my style. Cop: Yeah, me neither Me: Umm, I've also bought an exhaust that advertised it was under 90db, but I haven't had it tested, and my wheels are at the maximum allowable limit according to the sticker on the drivers door. Cop: Yep, ok The cop then checked my licence, came back and said this: Cop: Mate, it's good to see that your trying to do the right thing - we see skylines and supra's and silvia's and all the imported cars giving us nothing but attitude and blatantly doing the wrong thing. Keep doing the speed limit, mod your car to the limit of the law, and save the speeding for track days. Me: No problem officer, in all honestly, I realised it was going to be hard to be an enthusiast of skylines when so many idiots spoil it for me when I bought this car. Cop: Yep, true mate, have a good night. I realise that police can go either way when it comes to imported cars. When i try and sum up what happened, I'm a 23yo male, in a 33gtst (possibly the most 'flogged by bogan' model skyline) with illegal mods done to my car, with two mates sinking beers in the car. And I got no fine or warning. Moral of the story: Don't be an idiot when you get pulled over. Be honest and truthful, and explain your actions respectfully to the cop. It really can't hurt.
  4. get some hektic rimz for it brah!
  5. cams is the easiest bit. Do the lot yourself. If you have some leave from work, allow yourself 3-4 days to do it all. Probably just a weekend if you know what your doing.

  20. True story: My dad accelerated onto a freeway back in perth, got up to the 100km/h speed limit, then braked extremely hard for a 74yro man in a camry doing the 50/60km/h on the onramp and taking 20 mins to get up to the speed limit. To avoid crashing into the camry, dad had to swerve into the freeway (the inside shoulder was too small to get past the camry) and subsequently got cleaned up by a harvey norman delivery truck. Dad obviously got blamed for the accident, and wrote off his v8 statesman - but lets face it - it was the joker in the camry that started the whole domino effect of the accident. Even the guy in the truck said the idiot in the camry should have accelerated up to the speed limit. The guy in the camry just drove off (probably didn't blink an eyelid, or wasn't even aware of what just happened) Just an example of what can happen with these retards on the road.
  21. hate it when that happens
  22. lol.... so I'm not just a pretty face after all?? hahaha.
  23. Yep, just got my L2S last week too.
  24. i think uniquecars.com is the offshoot of carsales that has track cars and imports and stuff like that. I'm not 100% on that though.
