Lol, Yarramundi would be tough; especially the top few bumpy corners, need a bit more room to wind up the bike. The GTR would be all over that! . A motard would be unstoppable up there... Yeah, I'm at Faulco, if you see a Black M35 Stagea; that's me.

Got to be happy with that, well done Nick!

That's great; your retailer must get extremely good prices through Whiteline.

It's a terrible idea to start out with wheels of such a bad offset; and they're not enough of an upgrade to even get decent sized rubber on. Wait until you can get something more suitable IMO.

Quick bump; Group Buy is going ahead, but it would be great to have a few more participants. Cheers, Dale.

Just a quick bump; Group Buy is going ahead; would be good to have a few more participants though. Cheers, Dale.

Sure will. Like a glove.

+1. Around town or anywhere up to about 90km/h, I flick the stick across into 4th; locks out top gear and is generally a bit more responsive. Doesn't kick down as easily, but I don't find it too much of an issue; much better than constantly shifting up and down all the time, because you can't maintain 70km/h...

Honda paint scheme looks like it was done by a team of 5 year olds with a pack of crayolas Go Stoner!

Spotted the Glenbrook Aero kitted M35 again today. Who are you?

$340 for an OEM Mazda engine mount. If I purchased the set of four; total cost would've been over $1200... Probably should clarify; these are prices I've refused to pay...

Genuine Nissan gasket sealant; $90 for a 110g tube.

Stole (sorry; appropriated) my materials from work, used their TIG, and got paid cos I did it on their time! Like a baws...

PM sent.

Two of my favourites right there. Normally on my GSXR 1000 though; I'm up for a challenge... Also Shooters Hill Rd, Just off Duckmaloi Rd or follow Caves Rd on the other side of Jenolan; Oberon to Taralga. I think I know your GTR; Gunmetal with sizeable blue anodised brakes? Saw you leave Valley Heights BP in the wet a few weeks back.

Yeah, not having a go Iain; but I do more than I get caught for; so I tend to cop it if I was doing the wrong thing. The rules seem to be pretty different for the Police though; I was handed a fine that listed my Missus car with an incorrect plate, incorrect vehicle and the wrong offence. I queried it with a traffic law specialist; and none of the faults were considered "Fatal errors" (details that would make the ticket void), because they handed the ticket to me. I was "caught" overtaking on an unbroken centreline, by a police car following at a distance of at least 600 metres. Supposedly they had me "Dead to rights" on the incar footage. I flat out denied the charge (NOT recommended) as I had completed my overtake before the unbroken line had ended; which he would have known if he'd been in the same suburb as me. He went off his brain when I requested a viewing of said footage; knowing full well there was no way it would show me committing the offence. He refused at the scene (what a shock!) and I had to request an appointment to view it at Green Valley HWP headquarters. I subsequently attended and met several very accomodating HWP officers who showed me around their HQ while they found the footage of the "incident". They have walls COVERED in photographs of of "illegal" modifications to all manner of performance cars; so they can spot them at a glance, which is why I always laugh when people do the old "nah mate, it's all stock" and are then shocked when the Police give them a defect. If you want to fly under the radar; don't own a WRX, S13, S14, S15, R32,R33 or R34 Skyline; 90% of the pics I saw were of mods to these cars. Aaanyway, when we viewed the footage; you couldn't see a farkin' thing! My missus car was a tiny speck in the distance, and they followed me for a further 7 km before doing anything. Then, they performed an overtake across an unbroken centreline and took off after me with lights and sirens going 240km/h (according to the speed data on the tape), and pulled me up. The officers watching, said they wouldn't have even bothered, and when told who the issuing officer was; they all exchanged a knowing glance and informed me he was quite "overzealous". When it became obvious that there was no "evidence" of my illegal overtake on the tape, I told them I'd be contesting the ticket. They then told me that it still didn't matter as it would be my word against two Police officers; guess how that ends. So basically; They would stand up in court; effectively lie, and I'd be found guilty. Left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth; but meeting some normal HWP officers (actually all drove some kind of performance car, and didn't treat me like a crim) allowed me to see that they're not all like that one. As an aside; the tape shows me doing 102km/h in a 100km/h zone, for a few seconds; and if viewed in court; would be added to the list. If you've ever wondered why officers reduce (round down) the speed on a speeding ticket; it's not because they're being nice. It's so they can have a few other goodies in the bag if you do decide to take it to court. All they have to do is refer to their notes (and trust me, they write down the actual speed); it becomes fact. I paid the ticket, and moved on.

Yep, I run them as short as possible.

If the officer handed you the ticket; it doesn't matter what it has written on it, if you dispute it; they'll just re-write it. If it arrived in the mail with an incorrect rego, road name or date; dispute it, you weren't there/not your car. Of course if they have video; you're still likely to be f**ked. If you did the wrong thing, and know you did the wrong thing; cop it on the chin.

Have you loosened all the control arm mounting points to release the tension on the bushes? This can limit adjustment. You'll need to have the car on ramps so everything is loaded and at ride height. Also, check the springs to see if they're marked left/right or nearside/farside. I wouldn't expect that, but you never know...

Well for the front; you only have a 24mm to choose. I'd be inclined to go with the 22mm rear, as if you go too large on the rear you'll end up with far too much oversteer bias. Also, you have an amount of adjustment to tune the rear with the 22mm bar anyway. Of course; any first hand advice is welcome.

Care to elaborate Aaron?

That's it

Off topic; how is your new toy Aaron?

Depending on whether you left it there or not. Tuning today? Hope you have a good result.
