  1. i just worked out....driving with little to no boost...500 plus!! haha but thats just an estimate
  2. i get less than 400kms based on the fact i get about 90km per quarter (no freeways).
  3. if you decide to sell interstae, let me know
  4. anyone have one of these thingys lying around all lonesome and unloved but preferably painted? hehe If you do, pm me with price. Thanks
  5. hehe you're gonna get in trouble for not posting a price! hehe
  6. hehe "happy dyno"! 450kw equals 603hp.....conversion is something like 1.34. So i'd say more than 650hp at the fly for you wreckedhead. Impressive power either way...for both cars
  7. he is comparing gtst not gtr. i say supra over the gtst. but if you can afford it, go the gtr!
  8. it was 3k with fitting. I cant rebuild the clutch cos thats what was done by the previous owner 4 months ago. Something inside had shattered and was stopping the plates from engaging. The fork has a huge chunk missing from where something was rubbing against it. Soemthing about the bearing was also modified (by Amberley - bah!). So i had to get a whole new set - cluctch plates, pressure plate, carrier, flywheel, and whatever else goes with it. I couldnt be bothered dealing with it and want the car back asap so i just went ahead with it. Thanks for the info guys...i'll keep it in mind next time my clutch dies! hehe *knocks on wood*
  9. hey all, i am looking for a new twin plate clutch for my R32 GTR as the current one has been mangled by the previous owner. I have had the car nearly a month and have driven 3 times. The box has been pulled out and it looks like its gonna cost me $3k. Anyone know where i can get them asap? Melb preferably. Cheers Glenn
  10. I thought that too...i wanted a stock GTR.....but then i realised, stuff that, i'll pay a lil extra and get a modded one. You can save money. But then again, you could be buying a lemon. Your choice really.
  11. in my first car i had bubbly tint on every window. the worst thing was you couldnt peel it off cos it would just break...old and brittle. i did the razor blade thing...and careful as i was, i managed to stuff all but 3 of my rear demister lines. The car i had after that also had pretty crappy tint (that old skool purple tint). i remembered what happened last time to the rear demister, so this time i used a heat gun. heat and peel. the only thing i didnt think about was my roll cage padding.....needless to say, it melted! bah!
  12. maybe next time Franga, you dont drift your 180 to DESTRUCTION! BWAHAHA
  13. how much without the tyres? i want to put semi or full slicks on it. pm me. cheers
  14. i'll take it that either no one has had any negative experiences or have never been there then. Reason being, the car was taken there to get a RWC by the seller (on Weds) and it passed. i had got an RACV test on it the day before (Tues) and it listed a few problems with it. Anyway, i had clutch issues a few hours after i picked it up on Friday (gear select issues on a twin plate installed 4 months prior at Amberleys). So on the Saturday i took it to my mechanic. He said there was heaps of things that shouldnt have passed....namely: - chipped and pitted windscreen - front left inner c/v boot split - holes in spare wheel well On the monday i called Amberleys and spoke to Ian Weightman(who runs the place) and he said bring it down. He quickly looked at the car and said that it wasnt like that and implied that i had caused them. I told him it was written in an RACV report done the day before. Still he refused to acknowledge. I told him i would take further action with Vic Roads and he said he was fine with that. So off i went.... I went back to my mechanics and got another RWC done and it failed. Some other items found included: - turbos leaking oil onto exhaust - excessive play in rear steering I was given the pink sheet to indicate it failed and faxed it with the RACV report and Amberley's RWC to the Roadworthy department. A few days later i get a call from an inspector who had already spoken to Ian and advised me to take the car back. On Friday i took the car back and picked it up in the afternoon. I was told that c/v boot was replaced, windscreen fixed, and turbo hoses tightened. I drove straight back to my mech as the clutch still hadnt been fixed. On Sat i was told turbo is still leaking, holes still in spare wheel well, excessive play still remains, and the windscreen needed to be replaced cos it was pitted (and it was a half ass job repairing the crack cos it was still there). So i called the inspector on Monday. Today i got a call from my mechanic who told me that the the inspector came down and checked out the car and took picturs of it including under the car on all the oil spots. He will be getting in touch with Ian shortly. Things arent looking good for Amberleys...either suspend their RWC licence or it will get revoked. I had given them plenty of opportunities. Ian shouldnt have been so arrogant towards me in the first place. Suffer! P.S. if you actually read all the way through that, i am impressed! You are ok in my books! haha
  15. can you email me pics of the cooler and recaro seat? thanks [email protected]

  18. HAHAHA finger in sump...thats a good one!
  19. As the title indicates, i am looking for feedback on any bad experiences with Amberley Automotives as i am having problems with them now.
