Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

around $400-$700 per axle, dependent on condition.

What spring rate are they? Too soft and it'll be poo....

What engine are you using etc?

And just double checking, you do know you'll need an S13 front end and drill the rear towers or mod stock tops/get cusco pillowball HR31 rear hats for them?

So because you've done *gasp* nearly 50 hours of driving, you are a hero and can do fully hektik doughys and just be fully sik in general? Please!

I'm sorry if I'm coming across an ass here but the last few months there are certain members that have joined this board that are bringing down the general quality of this forum and I feel ashamed and embarrassed that they are associated or have anything to do with SAU. I dunno if other people feel the same but I'm already enough of a target as it is driving my car. I don't need the police reading these forums, seeing reports of "doughies, spinoffs on the free way, etc" and then seeing me drive down the street with an SAU sticker on my car and associate me with that behavior. Yeah, you are 16, fantastic, I was once that age too, never did I resort to such foolish behavior and while I'm no angel, yes I do speed, we all do and yes I haven't done things I'm proud of, I'd like to think I drive without putting others lives in danger and on the odd occasion I have done something stupid I haven't come onto a public forum to brag about it to try to boost my ego. Fact is, it doesn't impress me and I'm sure it doesn't impress 99% of the people on here. I have a friend who drives like a dickhead and his behavior doesn't impress me either, don't think I'm having a go at you because I don't know you, I just don't want to see this club go to shit and get a bad rep like so many of the others out there.

Mods feel free to delete this post if you feel it is out of line but I'm just expressing my feelings and is not a direct attack on Pepsinator, I'm sure he's a good bloke, I just don't think he fully understands the shit that can go wrong behind the wheel and the consequences thereafter...

Unfortunately I don't have such a luxury... yes I drive what most would be considered "cop-bait" and that is my choice. However, childish and reckless behavior that brings all Skyline drivers into suspicion under the eyes of the law just makes it 100x harder to just enjoy my car for what it is without being harassed from SAPOL

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.

      We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.

      Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)

      New Skyline will be RWD and manual

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
