  1. I really like Tri Spokes, i've always had a thing for them, so they suit me fine. You mention that the rears will be too sunken? Will they look noticeable shite? Or is it something that could be compensated for with wider tyres etc? Basically, i'm just worried that they will look out of place given that the offset is rather different between front and rear : ( Can anyone explain? As i'm not very good at this business.
  2. Hi guys, I'm looking at some Tri spoke rims for my r33 gts-t. They're being sold without tyres. Basically, these are the specs: 17x9 20+ fronts 17x9 35+ rears I know little about offset etc, but will these wheels suit my 33? Please bear in mind that the car is lowered slightly, but I do with to go lower down the track with coilovers etc.
  3. Been there, done that...All I saw were a bunch of lying cops. I would trust a used car salesman over a cop any day of the week.
  4. Looking for r34 gt-t wheels to suit my r33 in melbourne. Don't care too much about condition as I will be respraying them anyhoo. Anyone?
  5. x2. This is so important.
  6. I challenge this Pettit guy to defect me. I'll take my hat off to him if he can do it and get away with it. I'll just let my good mate George take care of it. Then we'll see.
  7. Incredible. I don't think that would be enough to stop a 1.7 tonne car. Maybe in the interim some sort of fencing would help, but I think you should plant a couple of trees in the front yard to give protection in the long term. Plus, fencing is ugly if it is tall, solid and impervious imo. I would recommend the following types of vegetation, personally: Eucalyptus Melliodora (Yellow Box) Eucalyptus Leucoxylon (Yellow Gum) Eucalyptus Corymbia (Red Gum) Perhaps some smaller Acacia Impleca (Lightwood). In addition to providing a level of protection, the planting of these trees would provide some screening of the property from the street and provide shade, habitat etc for native animals. My house is covered in large native trees, and the bird are simply beautiful. Very calming and relaxing to sit on the verandah and listen to them going about their business. Feels like i'm in the bush, yet i'm still only 30 mins from the CBD.
  8. Just remember I posted in this thread a while ago: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...p;hl=filling+up Perhaps there is some connection?
  9. I have no idea mate, I'm not a very mechanically minded person. I had it dynod a few weeks back when I had some work done and apparently the AFRs were all good, it's just something that I notice ,being that I drive the car on a daily basis. I imagine the charcoal canister is still connected as I got the car 100% stock and have only changed the basics. Thank you for your reply, it is much appreciated.
  10. Whenever I fill up my r33 with a full tank of fuel the car feels like it has way more power / response. Whenever the fuel starts to get below half a tank the car gets 'doughier' and keeps getting worse the lower the fuel reading is. Last night I still had a quarter of a tank and was driving like a slug, when I filled up, BANG, response is back and car feels like it has an extra couple of kw atw lol. For the record, I have a 400hp fuel pump and am only running 170kw atw, and this problem has been happening even on the stock fuel pump before the mods. Can anyone explain this? Cheers, Adz.
  11. Might sounds stupid, and maybe I missed something. But...what is the motor for? lol. What does it do?
  12. Spotted HETK1K in Eltham / Montmorency yesterday. Gave the wave. Second time i've spotted you
  13. Someone here is going to be accused of the kennedy assination next.
  14. What did it dyno at? Interested.
  15. They'd probably defect your sneakers for being under the legal tread requirement.
  16. Do you have the plastic inner guard for the right hand pasenger side? Also the right hand mirror assembly? My retractible mirror motor is broken.
  17. In this neck of the woods, West Heidelberg would have to be up there.
  18. Do you have the plastic inner guard thing for the left hand side? Mine flew off on the freeway and I need a new one. If so, how much $? Cheers bud.
  19. The cops in the north east are nuts! I live in the area and evertime I get in my car I am paranoid of being pulled over. Been pretty lucky lately though, it seems they have better things to do and generally leave me alone I spotted an SS Ute cop pulling over a random in Rosanna this morning, I couldn't believe it!
  20. You're forgiven Seriously though I was only being cheeky, didn't mean to sound like a jerk Welcome to the club. It will be good to meet you at an upcoming cruise etc some time in the near future. Out of interest, what suburb are you located in? You might have already mentioned it in a previous post but i've probably missed it.
  21. Welcome to the club! I'm surprised nobody has flamed you for not posting in the newbie introduction thread instead...or for placing yourself in each photo...
  22. lol classic.
  23. X2. Sounds like something a spoilt child would say, imo.
  24. Cheers ben, would be good to see you again. Hope to catch you then : )
  25. Thanks for all the advice guys. Well, the car is in the shop as we speak, so I will let you know when I get it back either tonight or tomorrow.
