poofff

polished alloy is ppoofier than chrome

pooooooooooooooooooooooffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Geez you have a fascination with poofs, gays and bananas. Are you locked in or too scared to come out? :blink:

Not happy Jan! This happened towing the car last night not long after having a flat tyre and finding the spare was a Commodore wheel, and the hubs are Falcon! GRRRRRR!!!!!!

I think someone's overtightened the bolt with a rattle gun. One had been broken for a while.

Hey Baron...how would the Atlas 200 go towing a trailer and car. The lock up security of the back for tools nad tyres...hell somewhere to sleep woudl be cool. Cheap rego too. Could it tow a 1300kg car + trailer?

yeah it should be able to. I mean it can carry a 2 ton payload in the back alone, so surely could tow a trailer and car, and fit a few hundred kg of tools, spares, esky, bed and pee bottle. maybe even some nudie mags and it already has a nice light in the back to read them by. it's 4.2 litre diesel so torque shouldn't be short. gearing limits it to probably 130 or so though. actually not a bad idea. you could easily have room to sleep/relax in the back. could fit heaps of shit in there and can fit 3 people in the front. can be driven on a car licence (just) and being under 4.5T is still affordable to rego.

actually it would make a cool tow car. you could set it up with a cheap compressor (supercheap have one atm $190 off, going for $170 2.5hp etc looks ok), small water (or beer) tank, 240v power, you could get some huge team wang decals for the side. and a beaded set cover for the seat.

Is worth serious consideration. I mean i can fit a bench, seat and bed in the back. Throw a littl Gen Set in their, air compressor and tools/tyres. Throw a camping fridge in there...then a tow hook. For about 25k all up could have a pretty full on support/tow vehicle...

Hmm...

hell I'll even look after it in syd for ya!

plus it's an import for that extra JDM cred, and when you reverse a japanese lady comes over the loudspeaker in japanese to tell everyone about it. great way to meet girls... can't ask for more than that.

Oh yuk,,,thats not a pretty sight. Someones in for an ear bashing. I hope that was the only damage.

Neil.

yeah that is ugly.

Richard....I was thinking about that truck but you would need somewhere to store it and the car. in the end if i do get a truck the car will have to fit inside....

dick

does it do skidz?

king oath.

dunc. yeah that is the downside. storing the thing, and you're right. the ideal way is to have a truck you can put the car into as then you effectively have a rolling garage! but my truck is cheap cheap and getting cheaper by the day! lol. and has JDM credibility which you need.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
