I was driving along Brisbane St on the way to work today, and at the Lawrence St intersection at the top of City Park (Launceston people will know it). There was 6-10 cars in the turning lane waiting to turn up High Street, when this woman in a commodore turned infront of me (opposide way on Brisbane, turning down to Lawrence), through a gap in the line of cars waiting to turn upto High St. I got on the brakes and aimed from where she came from, but she saw me and stopped in the middle of the road! It's a 60 zone, but I'd backed off so I would have been going 40-50 approaching the intersection (do this everyday to avoid an accident), so i was able to wipe of most of my speed, but My front left got her rear passenger door. The only good thing is that my intercooler and oil cooler are fine, it's only body damage. But i'm not happy :domokun::blush::wacko:

Saw the said vehicle on the flat tray... you need a 1980 SSS 180B to drive to work mate.

well it's an insurence job, so more than likely it'll all be replaced with new stuff. So if it's replaced I could pilage it for you, or keep it for myself as a track bar (and put ventinlation holes and stiff in it)

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
