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.

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.

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.

[Mike_]

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:

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.

[Matty 31]

got an email with the pics of a later model stagea thats goin for 20k landed, and photos of that 33 i was talkin bout last week too.

anyone interested

[BTM]

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.

^^^^ thats the best way to do it anyway......... don't want to rush into something!

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...
