Are they scared you assorted 'gweilo' will breathe on it? I have an alleged story about a 400r that made it to these fine shores but that'll wait for some other day... T.

LOL - don't need to worry about me... mine is parked in behind a Mercedes in a garage and electronic gate with CCTV security. There's no way ANY high performance import should be left in the open at night. T.

This yellow one is trotted out every Nismo festival like an geriatric at a nursing home open day I fink I have an AVI video of it somewhere. T.

I think the big sticking point was that you cannot park your car off street of your premises. It must be locked up. T.

Because car crashes aren't newsworthy in 90% of cases. T.

Epping Rd. attracts Type R's (or Type-AARGGHHH!) for some reason. It's claimed a couple I can think of. There's one I remember vividly on it's lid down near Herring Rd. T.

There's no requirement to have an RB26. You could push the rolling shell over the line and come runner up and collect da monies! T.

Where's this 'representation' people keep talking about? T.

It's highly illegal. A NZ company did the translation and several Aussie stores sell it. I don't know if that NZ company actually licensed the Nissan Japanese manuals but it is hardly my place to investigate. T.

How much do you dump into an R33 diff? T.

I have winmax most likely on my brakes (ask Eric, I got NFI what are actually on there). Tony (silver r33, red motor, carbon bonnet, bronze TE37). Holds up well at Wakefield. They don't squeal unless you heat them up and hammer them. T.

Mercs are mostly slow, boring, slack handling trucks. Well made trucks though with a good design for maintenance unlike BMW's. The only reason Mercedes have such a great rep. is that the people who buy them are not enthusiasts so they wouldn't know a good handling car unless it ran them over. I'm not including AMG specials of course, they're aiight. All Mercedes passenger cars, excepting the A class is RWD. I personally have had mostly good experience with the 'normal' cooking line of BMW/Mercs but forget all you know about this because 'performance' German cars are different and while people say their 328i is 'tops', that's because it really is an ordinary motor. Make no mistake, there are plenty of problems that the M-series has that will never come up in the normal BMW's. The problems in the M3/M5 are quite well documented. Oh btw. did you know that in Sydney at least, the BMW M3 is a much higher insurance risk than Skylines? T.

Is it legal? You can get lexan sheet cut to size, edges bevelled pretty cheaply but in an acco... it's your head... T.

Hey, I'm in Beecroft too. Never seen any Skylines in this area. You wanna meet up and see my cool panel T.

There are surprisingly a far few 'older' drivers here isn't there? I think the younger guys are lucky to have exposure to these cars. A lot of us grew up with really shitty cars. T.

Isn't it $100 for a gallon? That's how much it cost me. T.

Funny how I don't have this problem... T.

I launched a dipstick into LEO (lower earth orbit). I think it's over Japan right now. And I made a smokescreen like I was signaling for a plane on a desert island. That was a nice day. T.

Sorry I didn't reply - I don't get SAU at work for obvious reasons. OK... make it $125 fitted and meshed to your car (shop is in Carramar/Lansvale area and it's a professional shop who've done Autosalon cars). And don't fit any GT-R badges. That's gay. T.

I personally think there's not a cheaper way to get some high powered RWD action. Or 4wd action if owning a "Godzilla" is your bent. I personally never much dug the CA18/SR20 or Silvias. Once you go 'inline six' you never go back. For a 200+kW, manual, RWD car with some semblence of driving dynamics, I think there is no other choice. I don't dig on rotors nor do I particularly want something 15 years old. T.

PriceOrDelete! T.

Here's a pic of mine I just installed: http://www.nitroware.net/~tony/r33panel.jpg I do note that my bonnet is a bit harder to close for some reason. Like an idiot I forced it and it did pop shut and when it opened there was no marks. T.

http://www.highperformanceworld.com.au/aca..._BRAKES_65.html This is all I can find. They aren't for Skylines are they? T.

LOL I'll sell you mine if I pick this up Bryan! Matt - pix to me as well ->>> [email protected] You free? I might come and have a looksee as I'm in the area. T.

I have a perfect one here - unfitted. http://www.nitroware.net/~tony/33grille.jpg The problem I have is that I've paid a guy to stick it on m car - do you need someone to stick it on your car (ie. fitting + mesh?) T.
