hahah was this in the arvo after the rain? once it rained i went home... did many people get back out? can't belive he ran out of fuel - lucky his engine didn't go bang!

Its common for a std GTR to pull an 11 - but when people say std they mean std engine/turbos... usually aftermarket exaust/air filter and more boost....

Do you have bembos on your R32 Marcus?

I don't even have any switches there, just 2 coin holder type things and a GTR emblem... are you sure its factory on your car?

check your cooler pipes first, and if that ends up being the problem, check your plugs to make sure they aren't fouled

yeah those falkens are shit hey - had them on my car when i got them, just take it easy, i nearly killed myself with those tyres!

Right about what?

Why did Troy get towed off?

exactly.

When i was messing around with my stereo (after i'd installed it) the fuse went, i lost my brake lights and my dash lights i think, ended up being a fuse, not sure how it happened, but its common. I wouldn't just replace it with a bigger fuse. Triple check your wiring.... or it could be the headunit.

When i did the figures before i bought it, it worked out i was going to end up with about 3k more in my pocket per year if i didn't go for the lease (thats not including the fact that i got insurance half the price through the lease compared to privatly insuring it, and that i've spent 3x more in maintenence than i estimated when doing the figures - so it would of worked out even better for me. My exit fee is 1 month of a lease payment i think, so not too much. I still don't belive you need an accountant to do the figures - its just a few numbers, punch them into an excel sheet and compare them. Compare what it woudl cost if you paid for everything post tax, and then what it would cost if you did it through the lease (pretax) plus FBT.

How did you go with your times marcus? Anyone know what times the Silver SS commodore ended up with?

Its an R32 GTR with some bolt ons

I still have no brake pads - waiting for them to come in at racebrakes, so i'm out.

West: what size tyres are you running? You know its bad to run different size rims/tyres on a GTR right? messes with the ATTESA.

hah i've only got 8% or something, so your well ahead of me

Ben will figure it out, don't stress

What kind of mph did you get bobby? what kind of power you pushing?

You must of shorted something out somewhere installing the stereo - hence why the fuse is blwoing its drawing too much current from that fuse... unplug the stereo replace the fuse and see if it blows - if it doesn't either the stereo is doing it, or your wiring

You can do the figures yourself insurance/petrol/maintennce will all be the same regardless of lease or not. With my novated lease at least all my maintenence/petrol/insurance is pre-tax so thats where i save a lot of $$. I agree with IML337... you have to do at least 25,000ks to get into the 11% FBT bracket, anything less than 25,000ks will jump to 20% FBT...

Half launch .. dunno how to explain it, getting off the line without bogging down big time, but without launching full on... around 4000rpm and slowly rising the rpm as im slipping the clutch out. I've got a twin plate so its pretty strong compared to a stock clutch... I don't do it that often, as the others have said i'm sure it willbe burning it out doing that... but i found just stepping off the clutch felt to harsh on the car and just didn't feel as smooth. Not sure if i'll be at Winton (not racing, might come for a watch) if i do, i'll take you for a quick drive to see if i can show you how i launch.

Damn that looks like an impressive package.

he will mean 2 x 2530... Aya: The car should handle 2530's fine as long as its tuned right and doesn't ping, injectors, powerFC and 2530s, with a good tune, should be fine.

Paintwork looks good! congratz - someone run into me so i can get a respray

I know your 7, i know your 7 eddy, you'll be a 7 year old walking the dog no house mathafakor. Chris what did you gain by having a go at him? even if he is being a dick to you, you still gained nothing... chill out - politly explain to him that you know there are some dickheads driving skylines but you're certainly not one of them, and you always make an effort to drive super slow down your street.
