The newest Holdens to me look like the R33 skyline styling. I like the look but it'll be a boat on the road. Holdens are normally heavier than their paper stats say. In a mag they weighted a holden and a ford the ford was bang on exact weight the holden was 400kg heavier, so a 1.8 ton car was really 2.2+ton.

Because someone might own it though if you seen it you wouldn't be thinking the owner would have left it like that. I'll get onto the cops in tonight or tomorrow

Hi, havn't been here in a few years. ANYWAY! I've seen a Skyline sitting at the exact same spot for the last month or 2. Last night the wheels have been taken off the car and it's been left half up on a shit jack with the front bumper sitting on the ground with some pavers for support. In other words it's been left on it's brake rotors, I took a good look over it today. Anyway, I currently know where this Skyline is and I'm not going to hand out the address to anyone but if this is your Skyline PM me and I can give the address of where it is other wise I'll be going to the cops to let them know about it. The rego of this Skyline is 055 JME, the GT logo is a blue G with the standard T coluor. I know what colour and inside colour is so I'll use that as a bit of info the owner can tell me. Anyway, PM me if this is your car.

Ska: That groning from the power steering means it's low on oil or your pump isn't moving it around well, then again you say you were turning the wheel on the spot, the tyres will keep grip and will make nosies because you arn't moving and the tyres have to shift around on the one spot. Think of wearing brand new shoes and standing on gravel and then shifting your feet left and right you'll feel the gravel moving but doesn't want to move.

I wouldn't believe that 12 seconds crap. Metal takes longer than that to naturally heat up anyway, even on a summer day. These days all the engine manufacter's recomend that you don't idle a car to heat it up as it causes more damage also the same with sitting there and reving it up, you should start driving straight away. Most motor parts would be made of billet or an even harder type of metal, these metals don't wear or break much as they can handle a much higher amount of heat than mild steel or other such metal.

Too hard a prsure on the pedal might be the major problem. Though going beyond that, don't grease the rotor itself, you only grease the back of the pad that touches the piston, to stop the vibration of the pad (if you don;t know) if you do grease the rotor it will make it harder to stop and you'll get the squeeling. Another problem you can get is brake dust or brake pad dust, if you have to much it will cause the squeeling, use a spray brake rotor cleaner so you don't have to take the caliper completely off the rotor. Anthor would be to change the pads, probbly the wrong type of pads for your driving style as top notch racing pads will squeel as they arn't up to the correct temp etc, so dropping back to more street type or semi race type pads would be better. I've read that the endless g spec are good for street and race track, but they really dust up. Another thing to check is the brake ratio as too much presure could be on the front brakes might need to change that as well.

Should be simple... Though the GT-R's are slightly wider than ECR33's so hard to say, I there are ECR33's with RB26's in them.

compared to the other year R33's, what are the specs for a 1998 R33 is there anything mahorly or minorly different from the other years. Also wondering what are the differeances between a stock 1998 R33 to a 40th special edition R33. any help with would be great.

Those taxes go towards checking out your stuff to make sure your "stuff" isn't bring in any extras. For example drugs... Bombs... some other crap people don't know about... Also pays for the wharfs or airport fees etc, as you seem to have had them brought in via air, you get charged extra for that, but you just save time. Sea is cheaper but takes longer to get to you. A legal way to get around it would be to claim they are a gift to you from someone else, if you can get them to ok it, you don't pay for any customs or import duties, but I'm not sure what the limits are, also only ment to do it 1-2 times a year. Other wise just pay the money.

I've noticed in the last few years, Some cars won't allow you to use them to jump start other cars. The RX7 might have been one of these cars, or the battery was next to dead on it. Anyway, should use a surge protector and you can get jump leads that have that but will also have a power cut in case you end up touching wires together etc and you won't get those problems in the first place.

I went and I ended up taking just over 200 pics. I have a few pics of that R34 Skyline it's M-spec II Nur. quite a dear car, had a PC computer in it as well.

If your importing you'll need to really drop from 20 grand down to 15 to 17 grand for the car you need an extra $2000 roughly for tyres and ORC as well.

I don't really want to rain on your party but I found the Initial D cartoons to be suxsors!. My Thoughts though go ahead and watch, I won't be.

ok looked it up: So if your car can force 6000 newtons, this would equal 6000 newton meters. To further explain this your car can basicly push 6 tons of weight 1 meter at full power. A newton is the amount of force nothing to do with torque, the weight of 1 newton is the same as 100 grams. A Newton Meter is the amount of 1 Newton (100 grams) being moved 1 meter in any direction. Another example would be picking up 100 gram weight, and pushing it 1 meter, you can then say your arm has 1 newtonmeter or 1nm. Great isn't it????

I would need to look this up again but, I think newtons are a mesurment of power, like watts. Newton meters is a measurment of power over 1 meter, So your car could push 6 tons over 1 meter. Newtons I don't think is a measurment of torqe but newton meters is.
