The little voice in my head... oh wait, that's the 2 week old baby screaming :(

ahaha's ! lol

how's it all going????

good luck on pickup, going to be a good fun trip :)

I still remember the day I grabbed mine, flew to brissy, got picked up, test drove, did a deal, dropped car off at freighters (following sellers dad in crazy mx5 slip-thru-traffic style; he was showing off, almost had an accident & fight at lights, then congratulated me on keeping up - LOL), taxi to airport then home. week later got the car from the freighters.

would have prefered to drive the car home but knees, room etc (since extended the seat rails)

best of luck

oh and to nick too ^^ lol our 5yr old is a terror atm but the 3yr old is a cutie :laugh: fun fun

It cost me over $50 just to get from the domestic airport to the city (Wynyard) but that was during peak hour. It'll be another $20 from City to Lane Cove. But if it's the weekend that you're going, it'll be much quicker and cheaper. Don't forget if you catch a taxi you're slugged the bridge toll too. Catch a train will be about $15 each (Chris is going too yeah?) But a cab would be about I'm guessing $50 to LAne Cove. In saying that, whereis.com staes it's only a 19min drive from Syd Domestic Airport to Lane Cove. Seems a bit quick.

Yeah, wish I could go too!

umm, yeah but wynyard is in the heart of the city.

lane cove is a drive from the airport thru the harbour tunnel and out to lane cove with very few stops (if any) till you get to lane cove. any time that is off peak will be a pretty quick ride. as long as you avoid the afternoon peak it will be a snip.

they can go cutesy and take you out via victoria rd and avoid a toll but probably add another $5-10 for the time sitting in traffic.

hey brendon, yeah it all went well, both bub and mrs are well. The 3 yr old isn't too impressed everyones attention has shifted away from her ofcourse.

Adam, maybe it is quite a bit cheaper then what i was thinking. If you have gear to lug around as well, and you're travelling on a Sunday probably cabbing it would be your best bet. Just don't lose your license on the drive back now!

Nope, Nick, if you're using the Harbour Bridge to head North out of the city towards Lane Cove, then you wouldn't normally have to pay the toll for the bridge, so you shouldn't have to pay it for the taxi either.

BUT, if you use the Harbour Tunnel instead of the Harbour Bridge, then IIRC the charge works both ways, but as Andrew says, off-peak is a pretty quick trip, either way. And it's best to ensure they DON'T use Victoria Road, as any money saved on the tolls you would have paid would not make up for the time you've lost.

That's right. But I thought you had to pay for them to come back over the bridge? The "Return Toll" as stated on this link. (http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/taxi/fares.html)

It'll cost you about $50-$60 i reckon. Can we place bets?? :P

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      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.
