Ill read up on them but thats the type im after, thank you Cheers mate, got also a few people from NS looking out for me also Cheers, dont know of the xr6, sorry mate It was a thomo east ground on leslie street, 2 mins away from Dalton rd. I also found out some more info last night that another car pulled up beside the s15 and were chatting away laughing all near my car, i bloody wish i had kept a look out for my car whilst there, i do every other bloody time. It was a car full of 'lebo's' was all i got told (2nd hand info). Doesnt give me much tho. Dont know what car they rolled up in either.

I went yesterday, it want that bad, good mix of cars. Just before the gtr came out a supra was on the dyno when i got there and it had sucked in a t shirt through the inlets and still ran about 580kw, then after it was removed it only ran just over 600, i want too impressed. Then the gtr came out, the traction control kept kicking, something to do with the too much torque to easily so it would go into a limp mode, even with the haltech comp. Then when they did get it going it didnt sound too good, honestly it didnt even sound like it was getting anywhere near 4000rpm, Obviosly it was, i cant rem what they got it up to but it ran bugger all on the first run and hit 366kw, i shit myself thinking my car is not even anywhere near that, almost double hahaha. You caould tell it had soooo much more to give. Ill post up the movie of the gtr shortly seeing as no1 has put it up.

Ill be taking the wife and kids, so ill be in msstigs (number plate)car, the commo wagan. go to the auto salon website for a $5 buck off voucher for each person that arives b4 12 i think it is. I heard the add for it on the radio

3 weeks ago i had a 35-40y.o with his wife n kids in the car - A TARAGO!!!, he was reving the shit out of it as he pulled up to me at a set of lights in the city. Lights go green and i stayed still, he spun the tyres (of wot that van could) and i took off slowly. I got up to the next set of lights and gave him an earful cos i thought, your in a van, you have ya missus and worst of all you had 2 kids in the back and your trying to take me on A complete idiot!!!

Mate that was i what i was dreaming about, how the hell i would get outa that position. i hope this pic works

Cheers, ill keep that in mind

All ready on it. 2 blokes at the club said that the 2 guys jumpred outa the car and were wondering around. The way he blocked me in, looking back on it, in the position we were training on the ground most of the night would block of the view. Im not saying that im 100% that bloke did it, but im and most of the other people at the club are 95%, thats good enough for me.

Sorry but is this a joke or is this for real?????

I thought the show was pretty ordinary but as somone else has stated it was the first show and i would think they wouldve had some jitters through out it no doubt. In saying that though, top gear in the uk started in i think 78, then when clarkson come on he made changes and the ratings went through the roof in 88 i think it was. I think by 5 episodes in sbs will find out where they are, whether the 1,000,000 dollar budget per episode is worth it for top gear or will they just get rid of it by the end of the 1st season. The 6 or 7 seconds they showed on the track were shit of those cars they ran all at once. They didnt even show a full view of how the track is layed out!!! I dont see where the mil went for the show cos they didnt need to buy the cars, maybe just rent and pay for sevices before and after each run and repairs. I dunno if it was my foxtel that buggered up but it was like they edited the time of the gtr when the english bloke mentioned it and i had to wait till i saw the time on the board. The english car magazine dude (clarkson) who was host is riduclus, ITS AN AUSSIE SHOW! he even used english sayings like "git", whats up with that and reminded me to much of dicko on aus idol. The daily telegraph cartoonist (james may) was ok but the porsche driver (hammond) was pathetic, he was to yobbo for me, a complete wanker. Il keep watching it just cos i can but wont be sad if i miss foxtel buggers up and doesnt record it for me like i am when it happened with the uk version. Very poor SBS and i hope it gets better, not for your sake but for the sake of the 'top gear' brand. If the japenese get a version of it, that would be the one to watch!!!! Lets Hope!!

That is true, im thinking of buying 5 different sets of locks nuts, yeah i may be going overboard but this has scared the shit outa me. Im not a big fan of driving on 3 or less wheels unless i get a motorbike!! I live in Melton too which doesnt have the best rep,touch wood nothing has happened to me, but id rather pay 200 bucks on a few sets then whatever it would cost per year for insurnence on them. I like my rims that i got with the car and have never seen them on any other car. I dont feel like parting with them just yet.

Congrates SAU on 100 pages of spotted cars!!!

Yeah they are but i havent seen one like this, it really stood out, i wish i could rem the plate but for the life of me i cant. I did have sum but i lost the socket so when i had new back tyres put on last year i got them to take them of all the wheels for me. I wanna get sum that not many people have, my mate had a the same set on his vk that i used to n he got his from autobarn like me so its easy for sum bloke just to go to autobarn type of places and buy a set of them just to get the key. Where are the best places to get a set but not from autobarn or supercheap auto type places, can anyone tell me?

Saw a grey r33, maybe gtr, was going oppisite direction to me on western hwy bout 12.45pm near bp in deer park, i was coming out of westwood drv. They wouldve just past the truck trailer laying on its side cuasing a small bottle neck of cars. Had sau sticker on back drivers side window.

Nah no cameras, im sooo bloody lucky the wheel never came off, ive never experienced that feeling so i didnt know what it was. If i find him again, ill let you know what happens!

Hi people, i drove to cricket in Thomastown today and saw a nice gunmetel grey type r S15 with a bodykit and personalized plates black with white (didnt take notice of what it was) sitting in the car park. He is not invloved with my club so sort of had a quick glance to see what the driver looked like, please dont think im racist here but he was paki, sri lankan or indian, from one of those places in the sub continent, there were 2 defineitly possibly 3 people in the car. He had a nice look at my car but as i had a decent look at his i didnt take to much notice of why he would be looking so hard. Anyway he was parked a few spots from me when i first pulled in at about 5:00pm. I trained and didnt really take that much of notice at my car as i was from a fair distance from the parking spot. I go to leave training at about 6.45 and he had moved his car to behind mine so i couldnt back out, i put my cricket bag in the boot and he took of as i did that. I started the car and left. I ended up catching up to him by chance as we were both turning left onto Dalton rd, i had to go right towards the city and he went left towards greensborough as we got to the ring rd. This is where the fun starts. As im driving along the car starts to shudder about everytime im cruising and braking but not under load, 5 mins away from home in Melton (40 mins) the noise got really bad and pulled over, as it was dark it was to hard for me to tell what was wrong, i thought it was my diff going but cos i was only 2km from home i kept going. I got home and found out that 4 wheel nuts were loose and i had sheered the 5th stud off my back left wheel. Now i know there was nothing wrong with it before i left for cricket as i had just gotten 2 new front tyres up the road from home today and the blokes didnt touch the back wheels at all ( i was watching them the whole time as not to scratch the rims ). I know that they were tight and were not loose as i gave the rims a clean on the weekend. Now id like to know if anyone knows who the f**k this bloke is??????????? Gun metal grey s15 type r personalized number plates black with white (cant rem) Paki, sri lankan, indian, sub continent ethnicity Parked in Thomo but headed towards Greensborough down the ring rd Now im up for a new stud which dunno how to fix yet, gota read up on that and, yes i know, i need lock nuts but havent goten around to putting any on, i will 2moro!!!!!

215 or so in my old vn 5l, also got sideways in my mates blown 430ci ltd at 190kmh on a long sweeping bend, private rd , prett scary, i few beers got drunk after that to calm the nerves

Im pissed, lol, wot a game, thats all i need to say!!!!!

To be honest neither have i, but what a bloody game of football was played, it coulda went either way till the last 15 minutes. Im so bloody proud of the club, good one em!!!

How wrong you are, the moral of the story is to find what experiences people have had. Id love to be able to buy a cheap ass turbo to do what most of the people on this forum have paid a shit load more money to do, if it means buying a cheap turbo off ebay to do it, then so be it, but first id like to know what experiences people have had to do this. If YOU were to use the search button yourself you would realise that they are old threads and people just got flamed when they wrote in those sections. This is a new subject where people can tell there expereices in the hope without getting flamed by people like yourself they could learn. New members are afraid to start a thread such as this because it would get closed cos of what you have said where i think it should be kept open so people then can relate there own experiences whether good or bad it shouldnt matter. People learn as they grow, that should be enough to allow this thread to stay alive. For once id like to see this stay around so people learn from others. Not only the good but the bad. If i could buy a turbo that lasted the next 3 years for $150 in the hope that it would keep performing, that would allow me to save enough to buy a BRAND name which has a guarantee to last - with the extras needed to run a car at over 250kw which is what most people would like id be more then happy for that happen, but id like to know what there experiences were before buying, thats why i hope people keep telling there experiences.

Hi, i gave up on games a long time a ago but just wanted to let everyone know that Sporn on PC has a virus that beds itself onto you computer, i dont know much about it but it seems to watch your comuter and give back info to EA even if you try and remove the program form the computer itself BEWARE!!!

Just wanted to say that i barrick for Hawthorn and what a wonderful win they had, includinf the 80 bucks i won at the TAB!

I think this is a great topic, alot of people including myself have been shot down for even using ebay and turbo in the one sentence. Yes it is mostly the new forum members that ask these questions cos they want more power strait away so the turbo is what they look at and i think almost everyone here bought a skyline cos they new the potential of what they could do, not cos of there fuel economy. I have been watching this thread since it started due to the fact that i think getting a hi flow done for my r33 is ridicusly expensive compared to buying a new turbo kit. I got quoted 1700-1800 for mine to be hi flowed, its not that much of a difference to buying a new turbo kit for at least 2200, so if by finding a turbo off ebay for under 500 bucks and finding out that some people have had good expereinces is a help to me, but then on the other hand people that have had bad luck is also helpful to me. Some people dont have the cash to be able to save 2200+ cos they have other things going on in there lives whether its cos they have a mortgage or dont earn a lot. Honestly so many people are so quick to jump to the conclusion that if it came off ebay its shit. Sorry mate but its people like you that make other companies make soooo much money cos you would be the type of person, to me anyway, to say dont buy this name brand cos they dont sell much but buy this brand cos they sell heaps. Just think what wouldve happened if people said garret, apexi etc were shit when they first started, we would be all driving around in NA cars. Please keep this topic going and please people, please tell your experieces.
