Rezz

You guys aren't concerned about the 'shut lines' around the bonnet? If not please get a group buy going (somebody make a group - PM me with addys, quantity, colour etc ) and I'll do the rest. I'll also need you guys too pool the total money together, then remit the money to my address (through the post office?). Sorry, there'll be an added charge in that, but I don't have an account in AU now.

Yeah, the dragons are cool... there are no hidden meanings and most people would consider it art. If you really wanted to get a kanji done, yep I agree, go for a single kanji with a general meaning. Looking through that link in your first post Bl4ck32, theres a pic of a guy who got "Mike" (in katakana) on his arm... I can imagine the conversation now: "So what does that say?" "It says 'Mike'... I'm 'Mike'..." [sarcasm]"Oh thats cool."[/sarcasm]

Oh boy... mines_datsun indeed... pissa

Ask DaiOni, I believe he 's had one done.

This one?

For the sticker: use "Prepsol", it dissolves any wax and other stuff like that giving you a perfectly clean surface. It's what the pros use. Hyper Rev issues: Yep, definately got yourself a good publication there. I won't argue with you, you get SOOOOOO much more out of... well... everything Japanese orientated just by being able to read Japanese. I have both "Skyline 25GT/GTS-t" Hyper Rev issues (cheers Evo_Lee) and the Hyper Rev 1989 - 2002 GT-R Memorial issue. Bloody good stuff.

"Inner Strength": :D:D In the words of the honourable Keanu Reeves "Don't do it"...

Got enough parts to start my own 1/24th scale wrecker yard...

A tad blurry, sorry, but it looks like the dashboard screen is actually "on" doesn't it? [thinks]...must buy shares in Hotworks...[/thinks] Heres the problem for the delay... the shut lines on the bonnet are no where near satisfactory. Compare this shot to the shots I posted on the Failady Z S-Tune model, and you'll see what I mean. No amount of re-alligning was going to get that front bumper closer to the bonnet shut line... hence the "re-release". I just wish Hobby Search could've sent me one of the revised ones!!! Trouble is, theres no way you can find out if the shut lines are any good until you open the box and start changing parts. But anyway... Nice... and of course theres the fully adjustable suspension. My collection. Found a use for the old R34 GT-R wheels already... Can anybody say "slammed"??? Hahahaha

It just suddenly turned up today... I was on "Hobby Search" back about the Hotworks Z-Tune GT-R model, but they replied that it was on "re-order". Now, read into that any which way you want, but I interpreted that as a fault in the quality or something... I was right. Some pics: Detail, as usual, is great. "Weldina" muffler... Carbon wing ffs! THAT... is sweet.

Oekley doekley... Don't get me wrong, Evo_Lee know more about Stageas than me... in fact I don't really know much about them at all, but what I do is pull up www.google.co.jp and click on "日本語のページを検索" (search Japanese pages) and then type in "Stagea", then all these links appear on the screen, then I click on the ones that have car info. Presto... a whole bunch of Stagea sites. Bonus info: You can search for images by clicking on "イメージ "! What I wanna know is, why can't you do that? Sorry, my intent is not to flame, but finding info on the 'net is rudimentary and should be a piece of cake for a 21 year old. Anyways, I've already found some links for you to try... even when I'm tired and cranky I can still be useful! S.W.A.T Stagea Web for Advanced Tune Randy Stagea Tany's Stagea (and Pingu collection) Autobytel-Japan info on the current Stagea That should get you started...

Cheers man...

....eeeer.... yeeeeeees....:Oops:

Been doing that long?

Their in-house parts cover suspension arms, body reinforcement (braces etc), clutches and sundry parts... no turbos, intercoolers, big brakes or aero... but alot of those parts that they do produce are for R33 Skylines. Bit over priced though.

Bwahhaha! That was posted in the wasteland 2 months ago... what a doofus that guy is for modding a car like that. Maybe he's a player for the Springboks or something...

Hehehe... I think you mean "Nagisa" Auto... Try this link: Nagisa Auto BNR34 02 spec and use babelfish to translate the katakana... I'd type it all out but I've had a long day.

Luv your avatar Andrew... did you do that in Paint?

Bumping this old thread up... Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of late, the info dispensed has been really helpful, and more and more members are getting their cameras out and making photo threads (most interesting IMO!). Cheers guys, keep up the good work!

Bump bump... Anybody?

Have you got that issue of BC dude? If so, I come round this weekend and check it out... got some stories to tell you too.

I heard that the "Evo X" was mentioned in the current Speed magazine, can anyone confirm? Even better, could someone post up a scan of the article or pic?

I certainly do!!! Thanks for letting the guys know about that little piece of info Troy.

Anybody remember this? So did they make mention of the M45/Fuga in the latest issue? Did they elaborate on the V8 going on the V36 Skyline??? My guess is they ran out of smoke....

I pretty sure the rest of us (and cars) are ok. Kyushu is the southern most "main" island of Japan, and yesterday they got hit worst by the typhoon. I think Sapporo is about as far away from Kyushu as you can get! Although I think the typhoon has travelled up there today! Doh!
