cheers mate - now that its not dark anymore, should be easier to do up that one last pesky bolt :happy:

wont bother about the brake upgrade at this stage; another day.

You sold your bike yet tangles? They can be rather lethal more often than not.

I had two friends that have come off theirs lately. Nato came off his R6 and broke his back, wrist, and both his legs near lobethal/woodside.

Tangles where did you get that invisible bike picture from i wouldnt mind finding it. :nyaanyaa:

Still not sold, unvelievable. Might have to take it to a shop closer to the city I think. Priced to sell at $10k.

Read about your mate on the R6, terrible news. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Umm, what invisble bike picture? Dont get what ya mean........ For my bike there are a cple of pics in the link below, or the bike can be seen currently down south at the Yamaha shop next to barncle bills at Morphett vale. I never really took that many pics of it. :happy:

um, off topic, why the hell are imports priced over-expensively (compared to other states) only in SA? can someone please give me a reason I'm trying to by my car and im so f**ken confused its not funny.

It's all supply and demand. In eastern states its high supply (More people wanting to sell) and low demand (less people wanting to buy). Here it's different.

Our market prices seem to have been falling lately though! bought my good condition series 1 r33 with all sorts of mods and 187rwkw for $13500 in late july - nothing wrong with it at all.

and the invisible bike pic is vanges signature hehe:

had a friend of mine email me some details of a 33 her mate's importer came across

series 2 r33 gtst

107000km

kit

18s

turbo timer

pod

exhaust

$15k pricetag landed in melb, ready to register

only catch is its auto. when they bidded on it at the USS auctions they didnt realise it was auto

pics will come soon if anyones interested, and i can give ya contact details to get in touch if interested

also theres an Evo 8 been imported for $38k landed and complied. 03 model, aus spec ones worth $48k - $50k on carsales. Hav piccies of that one too

I went to Sydney when I bought my car 2 years ago. It would have easily been another 4 - 6 grand if I bought the same car over here. Gotta watch them over there though, some are really well priced, others are way too much money for their condition.

Like mike says there's bugger all supplyers & lots of demand for them over here relative to the eastern states. I've only ever seen maybe 2 or 3 R33's on the road in Sydney over 4 separate visits within a fairly short time. Most I saw were in car yards on Paramatta road. Import central that place.

I think you're referring to vange's avatar??

Brendan, all the best with the turbo install.

Actually I was just today wondering why the guy that tuned my car only left the boost at 11psi?! He reckoned if he put the boost any higher it'd hit boost cut - is that true? I thought there was no boost/fuel cut or anything - its just if the ecu detects too much airflow it will hit R&R??

Made me wonder if I took it to a different tuner would they be able to get more power out of it....hmmm.

I found boost cut on my S2 GTS-t at about 14 psi, you know when you hit it because it cuts all engine power momentarily, not nice. I had to go back to the stock boost controller as the ball & spring lump of junk I'd been using wouldn't keep the boost down with my new dump. I was doing low revs so it didn't ping on anything, just a sudden blahh no power.

before the safc install (and with 3" exhaust) I was definitely hitting R&R at higher revs...very noticeable loss in power. Not a complete cut though, just felt like the car was running very rich all of a sudden.

All good now though. :D

What's happened to all the immaculate R32GT-R's. Just when I am about to sell my current car to purchase one, they all seem to have disappeared. Typical of my luck.

I suppose my problem is that i want something pristine. Guess I'll have to play the waiting game when my Silvia has gone and hope something pops up.

for those that dont venture into our newly created FS section

has autospeed ever written a positive comment about skylines?

clearly they favor wrx's and clearly they're not big fans of the gtr.

the reason i say that is because most other reports of the gtr are quite different and much more positive.

autospeed mention things like the gtr being hard to park and being too wide to drive on city roads?? what were they driving in, the bike lane? i guess its all about perspective. i drive a wagon and dont find it hard to park or do u-turns in...

anyway this is about the 3rd article i've seen from autospeed effectively bagging all gtr's and yet I've seen a couple of topgear episodes where they praise it.

I dont believe the article is a fair review of the gtr's. not to worry... :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
