As patrick suggested id be interested in a magazine shoot with the 32 and the 260rs.

Still running the 260 in, few more kms to do then i should be rolling around 320awkw. Engine bay has been cleaned up a bit aswell so looks good in pics.

Have to agree with everyone here regarding the HPI thing - high perfomance imports, wouldnt dare for the life of me even consider mine lol, mines rice but i dont care.

I agree with what others have said, this offer is for cars that have show and go .. agree that grims 2 cars would be perfect! Or 'whathisnames'. Both good examples..

Stop fighting over it tho guys :S

Hey all I have been in contact with the editors and i will be in contact with those who they are interested in please allow me some time to get to you.

I have not forgoten

cheers

Andrew

Well I just wasted five minutes of my life reading thru this thread and stopped twice to check if i was on NS.com....

For F#*!Sake people I have seen shitbox suzuki cuppacinos etc in HPI so lay off the n/a skylines already.

PURESX is about to be released on a magazine and dvd so he will probly be out

+1 for watsisnames r33 ...that is hot and both GRIMs machines too.

^Martin, what about your car? You've definately got what it takes I believe, looks power etc? Send him some pics :O

Maybe even a dual feature with Hostile and Snyper?

dooooo iiittttttt :worship:

thats if youve got your passangers seat in :O

Martin:

Personally, I wouldnt say your paint isn't show worthy. I would say its a beutiful street driven car. In photo's in the magazine it would still look amazing (like above) and you have plenty of interesting information with the current setup as well. Im sure Snyper is the same, so just put it in! :rofl:

i didnt see any flaws in that paint job, even if there were they could hit it like they do with the models.

bit of airbrushing here and there and she's good as new :rofl: something like my datos rusty paint job may take a lil more work though

G'day all,

Thanks for the 'votes' for my car. I wouldn't say my car is a typical Autosalon car but I guess it has a few of the major areas covered.

Andrew (nuttsHunglow),

I've never had my car in a full feature in a national publication. If you, and more importantly your editors think that my R33 is of the required standard (and is what you're looking for) I would be honoured to have it in a magazine.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks, guys.

I'm not actually sure, Steve. They were on the car when I bought it back in '98 or '99 - whenever it was. Volk Rays is all I know. I'd like to get 18s or 19s but I'm not ready to give up too much sidewall until I've achieved all I can on the drag strip.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
