i work with a guy who grew up in the dark ghettos of Labrador on the Gold Coast and he is COMPLETELY CONVINCED that his VK is a superior machine to my skyine.

i patronise him constantly by asking him to explain to me how something so mundane as a dirty old VK could be superior to my skyline (with its racing pedigree)

he tells me its rare!!! he says its a rare car because he has had (by someone else mind you) a Buick v6 out of a VP commodore!!!

I let him know that a VK commodore is hardly a rare vehicle and that despite its power upgrade, a buick v6 is hardly a motor to brag about!

As a side note, i feel this information is relevant: This guy has never brushed his teeth in his life and they are all rotten (brown and black) at the top! He blames the lack of flouride in the Gold Coast water system... I live on the coast and i've never had a filling!!!

(side note: that DR30 is no longer my car in my sig, i now have a R32 GTSt powered by RB25)

God I have a mate like this he drives an old 1970s Valiant Charger with a 245 Hemi and EVERYTHING else is a slow piece of crap to him, ive been in the car with him when he was beaten by another mates DEAD STOCK Gemini and he gets beaten by P plater girls in Barinas all the time, yet he still swears by his Valiant being the best and most powerful car on the road and sits on everyones ass telling them to get out of the way of his muscle car.

Myself im not a fanboy to any particular car I respect anything with power and I wish thats how everyone else was im sick of bogans in their 40s yelling out "jap crap" when they go past in their auto v6 Commodores/Falcons with exhausts.

pfft i got some p plater in his dads 297kw hsv line me up a few days ago , for 297 k/w it really didnt impress me much he only got ahead by a few meters than i stopped coz i was approaching the speed limit lol

but back on topic you will call him narrow minded, he thinks the bigger the better

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
