  1. How do you know that?
  2. Slowly building some hype there Terry!
  3. As long as you and the people involved are ok mate that's all that matters, a car is just a car in the end. Rest easy!

    I wish I took my car to racepace *sigh*
  5. 1. Did you ask the guys supporting the booth who might have his number? Any other noticeable traits that the car might have? wheels? model type? etc. 2. Not all Skyline owners are assholes and if they are it has nothing to do with the car anyway. Like the other day on the forum I asked innocently how a rear panel was done on a particular car and the kid just gives me an attitude, wow he's got internet power!!
  6. You have to look at the backside for the whale impression All you need now are some BBS dishes to go with the soup :D
  7. Exactly.
  8. I still love the Supras but they still look like whales Haven't seen that many but those Yanks sure did know how to build a couple back in the days. Got any pics?
  9. Doesn't that rear wing look abnormally high?
  10. Good call, didn't see that one though a lot of people try to build "fake" GTRs, nothing wrong with that since its $15k + $10k GTR kit < Real GTR.

  12. Thanks mate!
  13. Having just recently tested an R34 GTR and currently owning an R32 GTR here are my opinions: - The ride in the R34 was definitely smoother than the R32, R32 felt closer to the road, a bit more jittery HOWEVER this can depend on the suspension, tyres and coilover setup each car has. - The R34 is indeed a quieter car in terms of road noise, exhaust etc, my car doesn't squeak, squeal or ratter, its just an older generation sports car with a more traditional sporting philosophy. Once could accuse the R34 GTR of being a bit tame if you close your eyes. - I favour the R32 interior more than the R34(!), I think for 1989 the interior of the R32 was excellent and still very functional today. The R34's interior doesn't feel like what a 60K++ car should feel like and how often do you use the centre LCD screen? - Seats are different, some favours the wider seats of the R32, others favour the tighter fit of the R34. I'm blessed that I fit in most Japanese cars including the Suzuki Cappuccino so either one is not a problem for me. - The interior space to me is smaller in the R34 than the R32. - The boot space is smaller in the R34 than the R32, this was my biggest surprise and I don't think I can fit the same luggage I took in my R32 in an R34. This might be a problem.... - The battery in the R34 (and R33) is located in the back and based on a recent experience of trying to jump start an R34 this was more troublesome than I thought. Is there any good reason why the battery should be at the back??? - The R32, to the curent generation, would be considered old school - raw. Some people like that, others prefer comfort. THe R34 is geared towards comfort though its still a GTR, its meant to be customised for performance. Both cars (and the R33) are awesome. My R32 is a daily, I have no problems whatsoever with it being a daily car except when I choose to press on hard on the gas pedal and watch the car drink away :-) But my car is not tuned and is running rich as a stock car would out of the factory. I think I can definitely improve on my 470km city/hwy and 615km hwy fuel consumption. The R32 GTR may have started the RB26 phenomenon, the R34 finished it. The 10 year gap in improvements is too much to overlook the R34 as just a more expensive R32. It is a magical car.
  14. Great job guys, Malaysia is the only country in the world I know that lets you get away with tint that dark Looking to join the club soon.
  15. Salary packaging would be better if : - your salary is higher than 70k (thus you buy a more expensive car) - you do a lot of Ks which SP may cover maintenance and expenses
  16. Thanks richar, that's answers my question on the other thread.
  17. Wow haven't seen these for a while but how do you achieve 10-11lt per 100kms? GL with the sale.
  18. Hey folks, just wondering if anyone have had experiences buying a skyline or any other cars from interstate and was it a lot of trouble to have them registered to Victorian registration? Also, are there any problems driving an interstate car in Victoria? (ie. issues regarding rego, insurance etc). Thanks!
  19. GTR R32? Do it!!
  20. I haven't seen language like that since bigdaikon.

    Yeah it does sound tough and is not directed at you, anybody is capable of teaching, if they have any experience and has good teaching fundamentals. Trust me on this, I've worked with many of the mentioned non-native instructors/teachers and that seems to be the requirements. On the other hand, I have met a number of Irish English teachers that had to go back because no one could understand their English behind the thick Irish accents.
  22. You have to give Pez credit for building a "FRONT LIP" from scratch!! Awesome work, was going to ask you to do something about my front lip as I was going to carbon-wallpaper it if anyone can do it!
  23. Well here's one Victorian who will be there and in the thick of things since I've moved here and brought my own R32 GTR. Have done the run and it is better than any that I've tried at Dandy Mt or whatever. The GOR is however one of the best cruise due to the sight of the sea and coast. This one though is like one huge backroads of chicanes, twists and nurburgring-type passes and humps! Tougher than GOR (if you go harder) and more rewarding IMO. You need to stay awake! Its in October and the weather is better. Plenty of time to think about it and consider several other things you could do in Sydney as well. We're getting a few people from S.A. which is awesome and we'll do our best to show our hospitality. I think if there's enough Vics coming we may even do the Sydney harbour run, or bondi beach, or cronulla, or taronga zoo or...
  24. wow 2 of the same rims in the last 2 photos, are they Enkeis?
  25. Is...that...a...vic...plate?!!
