SPOTTED awk90f at lights heading west on liverpool st and sussex st last night about 2125 white R34 GTST with a rather fetching asian female driver, some would say a glamour. I would have married her on the spot. GTR ish body kit and sweet rims, this girl knew what she liked. also a silver r33 series 2 parked around the corner with black rims and a slighty messed up front bar. could have been mine if it wasnt for the cheapie rims. was a few supras and a couple of Type R's parked around the way and a rather fetching M3. china town on a friday, pure car porn.

hey i saw this in the telegraph yesterday http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/nationa...c-1225906511971 thought it was hilarious but also intruiging..who's up for a little cruise north to see if its possible to 'encounter' this mysterious spirit with a penchant for night racing? oh and i love the police quote about the only lights they will be seeing in their rear windows

ditto to the last post, all the cool stuff seems to be in melbourne pity these are way to big to stick in an envelope :

just a stock turbo?

oh yeah heard about this on the news, apparently he had been 'hooning' up and down the main street all evening, a bystander said it was 'ironic' that she was killed that way as she had just been complaining about speeding drivers etc. not sure that exactly fits the definition of irony but still sad all the same, and what a complete spannerhead the driver was, how the hell do u drive up the back of a parked car?!.

pics of the rims? only got the two of them?

so what do these things do? do i need it?

still have it? how much are these new? always kinda wanted one, could i replace the stock one on the spot?

still have them? would take 350? 0410644102

hmm tempting, take 550? 0410644102

do u take credit cards? sounds like u run a shop are both sets of rims still available? want the volks but probably can just afford the buddys.

nice, will they go on an r33 series 2? offset at moment is 32 and plenty of room. just not sure what the offset means..

hi no 7 and 8, will they fit on an r33? need rims so sound good, can u pm me when pics are up?

will these fit on an r33? whats on there now has an offset of 32' call if possible 0410644102

need a new set as waiting will be months on a replacement for my front left buddy club, anything lightweight that fits it would be great, with rubber preferred but not essential.

what do they weigh? suitable for r33?

still have the right front guard?> how much for just that? pat 0 410644102

just joined the fbook group about the upcoming trackday, didnt know them personally but the loss of anyone in the community in such tragic circumstances is a blow felt by all members. Obviously i cant compare my concern with the pain felt by their loved ones and those who knew them well but it at least makes us all pause and reflect on the sadness of the event and how close we all are to those shiny pearly garage doors sometimes. I for one will be taking the next pac/nasho run at a more sedate pace and not taking the joy i get out of the sport for granted. RIP boys..

anyway Tein SS suspension is in along with some sway bars, cant wait to see how it performs tomorrow at EC, new GTR fuel pump and fob batt key seems to have fixed the stalling issues. now for speed....

just got some SS teins fitted to my r33 with sway bars etc so will see how i go and post the verdict, got E creek on wed and will be able to compare with old wakey times soon enough.

hey 'quest' sorry i got it wrong, what the proper spelling doesnt give u a cryptic enough moniker? brake pads are bendix ultimates due to cost concerns, god knows what fluids been put in but hopefully nice stuff. calipers are stock which thankfully is pretty good on the skylines. will need them at EC know what u mean about the dosh, the new suspension is all on plastic and the gf's going to kill me if she sees my statement in a few weeks

thanks everyone, thats a lot of advice to absorb in one hit! I dont know how i got by without SAU before but i think i will be more of a regular now this race bug has really bit hard, i still dont get the not braking late thing as the traditional advice i have seen so far is to go hard when possible then brake as hard as is feasible (in a straight line if possible) before powering out from the apex letting the car slowly straighten up. Definitely need to work on lines and find my own comfort zone as everytime i have a fast driver come along for instruction he seems to give me completely different advice then the one before, im pretty sure i have the fishhook nailed though as it used to be my worst corner and now its only the last and first i have real trouble with now and then. As for parts, that seems to be one thing everyone agrees on--handling, handling and more handling! Not sure how much braided brake lines will cost me but Matt said a tein monoflex set up will go for about 3g's and make a big difference, swaybars, bushes and castors (?) were also mentioned..so it looks like its going to be ready indeed for EC, as long as i dont overcook that kink at the end of the straight too often i should be ok. Only driven rented MX5's there before which are pretty hard to embarrass yourself in so my increased power since those days should make it interesting.. is your black supra going to be there for a rematch guest? Not often they are outpowered by skylines (re the eagle video) so time to up teh boost dont you think ? ben u bringing the toy nascar? if it looked small at wakefield its going to feel like a micromachine out on the empty sunburnt plains surrounding blacktown.. oh and 118 is shocking you better beat the pants of the big boys next time or else, for shame ok hks (steve is much less of a mouthful) im off to skin a cat,the right way this time. thanks again for getting me in matts capable hands (that sounded a bit wrong but i aint touching it)

hey interesting conversation seeing as i maybe about to drop somewhere near 3 grand on a suspension my workshop recommends, tein monoflex. im not sure what this is exactly, if its just coil overs but they are def adjustable and like prescott says i dont think i will be adjusting it very often as my car pretty much just does track and 'fun' work. going to get onto Matt at F+E mechanical repairs in Smithfield and ask for the most hardcore settings possible and probably just leave it like that. If that doesnt rock the baby to sleep on public roads nothing will.... anyway love any suggestions on brands, set ups, right now its stock and bodyroll is so bad sickbags should come as standard. Matt said he was getting control arms and bushes in too, i imagine this is separate from the tein thing. pat

hey benM and guestlove （?）， would love to see that utube footage, have some from my bonnet of me tailgating the little blue car which i will post when i get some broadband happening. this wireless usb just doesnt do it for uploads, post the link here please if you get around to it. Wont be in decent semi slicks for a while as i still have a spare set of KU36, kumhos to get through but will def look for some once i drive the wheels of the current rubber. Even whats on there now made a massive difference to the crap that was on them when i bought it so cant wait to get into some proper sticky shoes. Asked the mechanic who still has my car under lock and key to throw some suspension and possibly a bigger turbo at it so that should help me get into the 1.15's, what was ur best time ben? what are u aiming for ? full lock around the corners is the only way to do it right?
