  1. non taken mate, i see your point, And to add to your comment regarding the trucks, to be honest i never understood this carfull driving around trucks ect, untill the last year i have had to drive one to and from work each day and i can tell you how much it has made me be conciderate of other trucks on the road when im in a sedan now. the braking on these trucks are shocking and with a heavy load they just lock up. People cuttin gme off ect have no idea how bad it could end if im not paying 110% full attention to the idiots on the road. And NEVER be next to a truck when they are turining from the middle lane, you will get side swiped as the turn there back carrage will enter the far left lane,
  2. i have checked for error codes ages ago, after i had it hooke dup to a nissan diag ect, the codes are kinda hard to read but although i forget the fault code it was flashin git didnet help me iwth anything, even tho my AWD light is on the AWD still works. i dont get it. is there anyone who specilises in nissan AWD?
  3. mate your not wrong about the comparrision of bar scenes, that was just what i had to keep telling my slef so i didnet stray away fromt the boxing camp and into the bars, although $3 long necks of chang beer at the local corner store dont help, especially when there 8.5% and you dont relise till 3 later haha
  4. would you loose much of the rev limit on a 30? i know with the stokers its limits you till about 8k if ive read correct. i aussume the down low torque would be quite nice tho, with some suitable turbos you would have a very nice resposnive street machine.
  5. mate im keen on the build motor, pm me some details ect cheers from turbo engine to intercooler, the whole lot
  6. stroker kit or a Rb 30/26 , ive heard people have problems with the block sitting 50mm higher, any thoughts.
  7. Muay thai camps for the win, bars and girls you can do in sydney, thai culture and world class muay thai training is were its at.
  8. Bumping this for discussion sake, such little info and ideas on these GTS4's its a shame, they get knocked due to being N/A but no one can see the building base aspect of them
  9. Price on shipping to 2111 NSW
  10. Mate i did all my hours and spent well over 2 thousand with a instrustor, The Gimp at Ryde RTA wasent even going to let me take the test becasue he did not belive i did the hours, mine was the only log book he checked after he just flipped to the back and signed off the 6 people infront of me, then he proceeded to say, well THIS time ill let you take the test just so we can see if you really have done any hours. Then after taking everyones "advice" not to take my R33 on the test i paid $175 to use the instructors car, and i failed in the end. School zone that came into play mid test, i was not looking at the time in the car my mistake next time i come with my 33 and fail again, going through stop sign apparently, then i asked which one was it? i was then told he DID NOT have to tell me which sign i went through and its my fault for not seeing it, i knew he was full of crap. Again came with the 33 two weeks later and i pass, now this one i thought i must of failed, i Stopped at a stop sign, head checks, there was a car about 300m at the top of hill comming down, he was speeding like mad so it mucked me up a little as i went he came flying down, the stupid instructer screamed and then ripped my handbrake up whilst knocking my arm tryign to get them off the steering wheel. ( mind you i was on the ball once i noticed how fast this douche was comming down the street and i braked till he had passed) i did not panic as i had processed the situation and knew what to do. Now are we spose to have good drivers with a system like this, we need real road driver training, with deffensive courses ect, and People who can test who know what THEY are doing. Not someone who freaks becasue they dont have dual peddels. so back to the comment you quoted, i dont care how many hours you have done, if its going around the same block everytime you dont learn stuff all after the first 10 hours, the rest is just auto pilot, They have now made it every hour with an authorised instructer counts as 3 hours in the log book. this might help the pocket but not the driver. The best peice of advice i got from my instructer was the way you will drive for the test goes completly out the window when your really diving, you should dive to suit yourself and the conditions of the road and people around you,
  11. http://smh.drive.com.au/roads-and-traffic/speed-cameras-minister-orders-38-to-be-switched-off-20110727-1hzcz.html Thoughts? its what we've all wanted to see and now its happening.
  12. interchangable for an R33 GTS4, so a R33 GTR?
  13. what you looking to swap or trade?
  14. how much for the 33 rb26? no turbos included? can you et yours hand on a complete motor?
  15. My perants came along to buy my first car ( n/a r33), and gave me a loan for it aswell, they had no idea about the turbo rule untill i told them, The old boy was going to buy the 180sx next door for me untill i opened my mouth. None the less he thinks my na skyline is powerfull to a degree but trusts i dont drive like an idiot on the roads, they know any car can kill 120k's is 120k's weather its my line or his camary. Ive had enough scares on the road to know what happens when i do cirtian things and as much as i wanted a turbo stright up im so so glad i didnet. i think it comes down to knowing YOUR car and how it reacts. to better myself i intend to do a few driver courses, i think training is the most important thing, who cares weather you do 100 hours or 20 hours on your l's after the first 5 hours its just driving along with the rest of the zombies on the road, its learning what to do and what not to do in situations, ect.
  16. i just got back, have fun mate.
  17. Bumping for video of the car, if you wanted a look before you see in person
  18. hmmm the harder it seems to sell up and find a clean GTR the conversion seem a good option, rb26dett around 4k, extra 10k for brakes and gear box and wheels. then labour, i think $15k you can have yourself a nice sleeper AWD beast
