thats true! but still!!! even the crappy EGshit pulls away from the 86 more than tha GTR.

i mean, see the distance that the FD gains on the straight away compared to the distance the GTR gains at the start of the race.

the GTR is made to look slow, and nakazato is a h0m0~!

Hobby Japan (in CBD & Box Hill) have InitialD DVDs and 1:24 plastic model kits of the Akina cars (S13, 180sx, AE85, AE86) and some others like the SilEighty and EK-Type R Civic.

darK: The InitialD store is on Russell St, near corner of Lonsdale. Has lots of Japanese stuff like CDs, DVDs and collectables - toys :)

Cool store - but quite pricey.

I have Shingo's 'Night Kids' EG6 Civic (like my old one) and the 'Night Kids' R32 GTR (Takeshi) as keyrings (thanks to EBay). Also the BitCharG set (see below).

The manga comics are available from Alternate Worlds (Chapel St). The arcade game is lots of fun and due out on PS2 later this year (Sega release).

The movie (3rd stage) is really good. Apparently Madman are going to release the whole series (x4 I think) here after Tokyopop do a EL conversion in the US.

Oh yeah...

The SS Edition Trueno in Gran Turismo 3 is the 'Shuichi Shigeno' version (shows on the detail 'my garage' screen)

Shigeno san is the creator of InitialD - the car is a bit of props to him. That's why it's a pretty good little drifter.

The EG6 and R32 are little plastic keyrings - like in the photo. 4cm long.

I had Takumi's AE86 Trueno but I gave it to my (then) girlfriend as she has a white Corolla.

The GTR has red LED headlights and the Civic's front wheels are turned in - drift style. It has 'NightKids' written on the window.

The Civic is on my house-keys which are in the boot of my car in the basement - hence no photo :)

darK: Flames - probably. That cat is still 'rather' high-flowing :)

Mind you, you need to be pushing it pretty hard - so maybe not as we'll be on heavily policed roads. You can hear it 'pop' though.

Will get a video of it before I put the cat on.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah been doing it in an x shape. Do you reckon it's worth putting guide coat early where the filler isn't sanded down completely smooth? Reason I ask is because as I'm sanding it one part might be level which I don't need to sand anymore but the other part might be high so I can just focus on that instead of sanding across the whole repair area. I wonder if the putty is too thin, though the area is almost completely smooth before I do it as I've already put filler prior.

      Complex conex, sand in X shape. And don't go hardcore. I find putting on filler to be the art here to help.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By Nydt · Posted

      Hey y'all, I have a completely stock 1991 R32 GTR, yesterday I took my car out and went for about a thirty minute drive. It was fine on the way there but when returning home I think the car might have gone into a limp mode. I was cruising in 5th gear around 130km/h, the hicas light came on and there was a significant loss of power. About a minute later I hear a thump, the car starts driving normal again and is fine the rest of the drive back. This is the second time its happened, same as now it was fine on the trip there. On the way back it had the hicas light on but that time I would feel the power going in and out before hearing the same thump and it being fine.  I have no idea idea what causing this, but if anyone has any ideas it would be great as a start chasing the cause of this. Also I can provide more details if needed. Thank you

      When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.
