    Actually just realise I left out the most important update of all! I bought a Nismo radiator cap whilst at the Nismo Omori Factory

    Well unfortunately I couldn't buy one cheap enough there so the 180SX had to do I can't wait to get the diff sorted and fit the new parts though

    Finally back from Japan, so some updates in regards to the 34. Taking it to the workshop that fitted the diff on Monday to find out what the problem is, hopefully that gets sorted quickly (and cheaply) so I can take it for a drive, it's been over a month and I'm missing it I went in on a group buy with a friend and purchased some AP Racing 660 brake fluid just before going to Japan. Also ordered some new Intima SR series brake pads yesterday. I have a couple of friends using these pads and they seem to be pretty good value for money. I am waiting to hear back from Paul at Street To Track so I can make payment on front and rear 24mm adjustable Whiteline swaybars and also some DBA 4000 series T3 slotted rotors. Can't wait to receive everything and get it all fitted. The swaybars should stiffen the car up a little bit and make it handle a bit nicer and the braking should definitely improve Next on the list is looking into buying some BC BR coilovers after paying a few bills lol. This should be everything I want to do suspension wise for now. I will finish with a couple more videos from my Japan trip. Tandem run on School Course with Jordan Graham from Adelaide This is the last run I had at Ebisu. As you can see, the car is in pretty bad shape. I may have hit the wall on Minami during G1GP practice My back right tyre was almost gone so I went backwards on School course to try and make it last a little longer. Once I felt it start to strip I went full Aussie and just did a burnout to finish the tyres off before packing up and selling the car back to Powervehicles. I was also asked to take a local Japanese guy (no English) for a passenger ride who loved it.

    Do you know how old they are and what sort of km's they have done?

    Still in Japan so no updates for the GTT. I thought I would post a pic of my ride at Ebisu though Not quite a Skyline but still a Nissan Whilst here I have been to a lot of awesome motoring related places including the Nismo Omori Factory, Mobara Twin Circuit, Nikko Circuit, multiple UpGarages and Autobacs stores, Daikoku Futo, driven around on multiple Initial D touge roads, watched some street drifting at a touge 2 hours from where I was staying (didn't get to bed until after the sun came up). I had never done a drift event but I have been driving at Ebisu for 2 weeks which has been a gret learning curve for me. I also watched D1GP Round 3 & 4, and am competing in the G1GP tomorrow, and then getting ready for the Summer Matsuri this weekend. All in all it has been a fun time so far, with more fun times to come Also, here is a video of me my first day of taking on the famous 'Minami' track at Ebisu Circuit. This was just after a week of being at Ebisu

    Jumping back a bit in the thread (I'm still in Japan and it took me 20 minutes to catch up on this bloody thread ) I'm running 18 x 9.5 with +22 offset and I have 235/40 tyres up front. Have a look at my facebook pics if you want to see how that sits in the guards. All standard suspension arms, so you have the advantage of being able to make adjustments

    Well I've been lazy/working too much to put together the footage from the drag day, but bad news has struck. Driving to work this morning and only a couple of minutes away **CLUNK** followed by what seems like a slight rattling noise. Jump out look under the car and oil is streaming out of the diff. I'm going to contact the company the fitted it for me and see what they think it is and whether or not I have a 'warranty' on their labour. The 'crap' part is that I am going away on holidays for just over a month as of Friday and all my funds are tied up with that. The positive side is that I am headed to Perisher for a week and than going to Japan for 3 and a half weeks straight after. Making an appearance at Ebisu for a couple of weeks so that will be good. Might be my last fix of fun driving for a while it would seem.

    Love this thread. So many nice projects haha.
  9. timmy_89
    Clean car man. Still planning on doing the GTT brakes? Next plans?

    Attended local 1/8th mile drags again yesterday. Borrowed semi slicks from a friend and was amazed at the difference. My new pb is 8.71 (half a second down on my previous). Nothing too eventful, will put a video compilation together later in the week and post that. For the time being here is a video of me racing my dad in his VY SS. It has basic CAI and extractors/exhaust, 300rwhp. He didn't have any other wheels to put on so had to run with his 20" haha. Didn't have the greatest traction but it was good to have a couple of runs against him
  11. timmy_89
    My bad, I read it as Feb 2012 haha. Oh well. Anyway, I was trying to reach out to people from a few towns out this way and not just Dubbo
  12. timmy_89
    Car looks very tidy. Have you done any mods yet? What are your plans for it?
  13. timmy_89
    Haha I wasn't very active on ns.com, but I assume you read my tiny build thread on there if you had an Autech too. Can't say I regret the decision of upgrading to a GTT
  14. timmy_89
    Mind sending me a link? I couldn't find anything 'recent' prior to posting this, otherwise I wouldn't have. The only thing close was the thread about Chris moving to Dubbo, which was over a year old.
  15. timmy_89
    No one on here out this way? Lol
  16. timmy_89
    Hey all, Looking for any fellow SAU'ers out in Central West NSW. I live in Dubbo and there are only a couple of us here. Have a friend in Gulgong who also surfs on here. Wondering who else is out there for a potential meet up/cruise around these areas. I've driven to Bathurst a couple of times on weekends to do a lap around Mount Panorama and then back through Sofala, which is good for nice twisties. Anyway, if you are out there and reading this give me a shout Tim
  17. timmy_89
    Nice thread. Car looks clean. What do you plan to do mod wise in the future?
  18. timmy_89
    You should come for a drive over one day
  19. timmy_89
    Haha just saw this. We've already met though
  20. timmy_89
    Ouch. This video looks like slow-mo almost. Also, do you have a link to your build thread Lithium? I'm not sure if I've read it before or not.
  21. timmy_89
    Wow. Good write up
  22. timmy_89
    LOL
  23. timmy_89
    Here is a phone video, I'm yet to go through the GoPro footage. Excuse the bad camera zooming (friend doesn't know how to use phone camera apparently ) and the commentating. The guys that run it often talk crap but it's usually amusing haha.
  24. timmy_89
    Hey all. Competed in a local 1/8th mile drag meet today. Was good fun, even managed to take out the win in the bracket I was put into. Photo from setting up in the morning. Trophy ^_^ Will post some vids up when I get the chance during the week
  25. timmy_89
    Just you waaaiit. Hopefully you wait for a long time though. Hahaha
