See at least when i was going like 200-300 ks a day when i first got mine (once again... not going anywhere in particular) petrol was around 93c for Optimax etc :action-smiley-069: so it wasnt too bad

Damn that must have been in the days!.. Not so cheap anymore :P

Personally dont mind paying up to $1.00/L for petrol, but anything more is just getting to be a rip off.

Thanks guys :D

I'm already feeling the money thing. Gotta fill up again (50litres in 3 days :O) but i had to drive around to show my mates + uni etc. :) Its worth it anyway! Plus i bought the pod filter and some new speakers for it. Turbo timer next i think.

I keep trying to make eye contact with other skyline drivers to give a thumbs up etc. but no success yet :) I'm sure if it was one of you guys you'd return it!

Going from a lancer to a 32gtst makes it feel like a ferrari!!!

Makes me want a GTR even more. I took a girl for a drive today and she described it as faster than a roller coaster :yes:

powerade still costs more than petrol..

no its not... i bought a 24 slab of it the other day $9... theyre 310m cans... which means that it works out at 37ish cents which means per litre its around $1 and seeing as petrol is 1.28, its more economical to bike to work each day and drink powerade to refresh and replace your electrolites then drive.

think about it

Hey mate,

Congrats on the car, I got my first car (R32 GTS) about a year ago now, probably the best decision i have ever made, take care of it and you can't go wrong ;)....however I'm a tad jealous of your turbo ha ha, i got mine NA cauz i was worried about the new turbo laws coming out, turns out i could have got one anyway but ahh well.....32-GTR is only a year away lol :sorcerer:

If your thinking about tinkering with your stereo check out my DIY thread on installing a sub and amp,

Have fun mate,

Best regards,

Sean

never seen powerade in a can.....

Dont know where you get your powerade..

Powerade/gatorade is usually like $1.50-$2.50 for 600-700ml (whatever size the bottle is)....

don't know where you get your petrol....

read in a wheels magazine, that petrol is at its cheapest ever when compared to several years ago.

The price of water, electricity, food etc has increased by a much larger percentage than petrol and is more expensive.

Article in December 2006 Wheels magazine :wave:

Congrats on your purchase?

Any pics yet?

What uni do you go to?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
