I got some for my GTR - $295 from Roof Carrier Systems in Camberwell. Brand new - custom made to fit using Thule components.

Fit 2x bike carriers/board carriers very nicely :P

Re: Snow season... slightly OT, but roofracks are easy - you ever tried finding chains for 18x10 wheels! Hens teeth are easier. Lucky I still have the Lada :(

Russ: Re: OT - Niva & GTR

After getting the Nissan violated - it was described to me as having my young Japanese girlfriend raped, and having to return to the Russian mail-order-bride for solace :)

Here is my favourite 'family photo':

this is up for auction here

they're goin for 4000Y which is roughly $55, but expect to have paid 3 times that value to get it in your hands (taxes, commissions, postage etc)

I'll look for some roof racks

Found a roof rack.

Its actually a ski carrier (but I guess that's a roof rack) Its 1000Y or $13 (expect to pay about a $100 to have it in ya hands).

On auction here, but it finishes in roughly 23 hours. So betta hurry :P

PS: its off a 4 door r33 so dunno how it'll be on yours, guess its the same coz the roof is the same.

OK - just under 3 months and I get my car back :D Yay!

Here are promised photos of Thule racks:

Just been to IKEA

Couldn't be bothered removing the bike carriers before loading up with a new desk and coffee table :)

Pads on roof are soft rubber, clamping arms are plastic-coated.

Racks and bike carriers all made by Thule.

    • 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.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol. 
    • ok. Yea, then I would need to remove the turbo and weld an adapter on to it instead, if I fuc* this one up.  
    • No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
