  1. Damn..would take the seats if you were in Melbourne - how much for postage out of curiosity?
  2. Epic win by Pedrosa..I honestly thought he would have let Lorenzo go and settle for second - (thats more his nature) but wow, did he impress me on the last lap. Brilliant race Pedrosa.
  3. I dont understand why he made that move? Must be just money? Because no one has been able to ride the Ducati...so, yea, I don't have much faith in him to perform. But he isn't a bad rider..normally in the top 4 which is pretty good. I actually want Pedrosa to win this year. I reckon he is due for a championship win now...very talented rider. Just breaks too easy when he falls
  4. Dovi over to Ducati confirmed. Could be the best move he has ever done or the worst in his career. Bet he had to think about that one hard considering how everyone else is performing on the Ducati. Could it be another talented rider to taste the bitterness of the Ducati pig? Or can he pull something out of the bag? Gonna be interesting to see indeed!
  5. Thanks alot for the informative post Carbon. I totally forgot the 34 had traction control (what I get for owning the car a few days)..i will do a little bit of experimenting on vacant industrial roads this weekend to check it out. Will also check the airfilter and change the exhaust system next week or so.
  6. Thanks for the reply R34 - I didn't mean to sound ignorant, just wanted to know if anyone experienced the same thing going from an Auto to a manual. The new 34 will have it's exhaust system changed in the coming weeks, so hopefully that helps a bit, and of course, keep learning the car! Thanks for the reply though dex
  7. Hey guys, can someone please do this one for me? VIN: 6U90000ER34005728 Thanks! dex
  8. Hi guys, I just bought myself an R34 GTT in manual and I am trying to figure out when / what stages the boost comes on. I am new to driving manual skylines having just upgraded from an auto R33 GTST. Now, in the R33, you plant your foot down and boost comes on quick and it 'plants' you into the seat with how much get up and go it has. Similarly with just driving around, you want to overtake someone, plant your foot down, the auto transmission seems to downshift and the boost comes and quick and hard. Now driving my new 34 GTT, not alot of boost builds in first gear (if any) which is fine - i don't expect the manuals to take off like an auto (especially with me still learning the gear box). But now in second gear, I plant my foot down, I see the stock boost gauge come to life, but the boost still seems quite linear and it doesn't have that 'forces you into the seat' type of feeling..it sort of builds up slowly.. Hard to explain, but I am hoping someone can just enlighten me with the manual R34. Both cars are stock, with the exception that the R33 has a custom 3 inch exhaust, while the R34 is still stock. What RPM's and in what gear, should I be expecting the boost to come on hard? Thanks guys! dex

  10. Dovi looks to go over to Ducati..should be interesting to see if he can do anything with it?
  11. Hi guys, I have a quick question. Does anyone know (or does it even exist) anything about the R34GTT 40th Anniversary model? I know with the R33 there was few interior changes and the 40th anniversary badge on the pillars...but did the R34 have an anniversary model too? Thanks! Dex
  12. It's all pretty much true mate. I just got 2 fines in the mail this week for doing 64 in a 60. A few months ago I also got a defect notice for exhaust sound...so you gotta be careful over here. It's not to say you can't have fun..just pick the right spots. But for everyday driving and speed cameras, you gotta watch it. - Welcome to Vic
  13. Hey guys, I just bought an R34 GTT 40th Anniversary! Super excited, but it didnt come with the front vent / grill on the front bumper. Anyone has one for sale - pref in white? Thanks! Dex PS - I think it's something like this one on ebay? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R34-FRONT-AERO-BUMPER-SIDE-AIR-DOCK-VENT-GRILL-OEM-/270891786480?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f1268a0f0
  14. Hi guys, I am hoping this is in the right section. I am looking to buy an R33 GTR spoiler, prefably in white. I am located in VIC...so if anyone has one for sale, please do let me know! Thanks! Dex
  15. LOL! Thanks for the laugh at work guys...this question now means that every single question I ever had in my mind about my R33 has been asked and answered on this forum. You guys are the best!! I love this place! - Yup, I also have to find the sweet spot on my R33 to let it flow.
  16. Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could help me change my o2 sensor? R33 GTST 1996. Is there a guide out there on how to do it? Or if you are around Mentone area in Vic and looking for a 6 pack of Coronas or something in exchange for some help let me know! Thanks! Dex
  17. Hey guys, Just a thought that has been in my mind for while. I have ambitions to one day own an R34GTR and would just like to know from those who do, how did you go about financing it? I know the answers would be pretty straight forward...cash, saved, loan etc.. But what I really want to know is your age and what you do for a living and how long it took you to get your GTR. So for example: Age: 28 ICT Manager Saved for 3 years and bought the car outright. Bit of a personal reply I know, but it would be great for those of us wanting to own GTR's what our other fellows did to get one Thanks all! Dex
  18. Free bump..absolute steal for this price. Should sell no problem Good luck mate.
