Spotted EPIC FAIL ....

My R32 skyline .... LOL ...

LHR 17" Chrome rim buckled ever so slightly by potholes near airport and on majura road in 4 places around the rim and is heavily leaking air around the bead of the tyre and was running on rim ...consequently splitting the sidewall of the tyre all round ...

215/35 R17 Silver stone tyre @ $320 per tyre aswell ... not cheap and this is the 2nd time these tyres have failed on that set of wheels ... DODGEY chromes to the bin with them I say ...

And the Epic fail part is I had to Drive home on a 4 stud bloody space saver ... never ever thought i'd ever have to use that tyre but it came in handy this time round ...

Space saver FTW :thumbsup: ...

Will have to take my White 15x6" CSA wheels with polished lip in tomorrow and get a cheap set of 205/60 R15's fitted to get me by until I can afford some nice new 215/45R17 rubber on my good set of 17x7" SSA wheels

around $250 per tyre for the tyres I want ... cant afford that for a little while so cheap 15's will do .... Hoorah for 4 stud and cheap ass tyres

If it was around lunch time Kat, them I was either taking the car to Pedders to get inspection or looking for reliable double sided tape for aerial...Pedders told me useless information, nothing I already didnt know.

Spotted a White R34 tailing a bit behind me Thursday night when i was going home. Also spotted that R35 around Mitchell/Gungahlin

Apparently there is 2 R35 GTRs (White) in gungahlin and apparently they are neighbours, but im just thinking that one had come down from Sydney. ??

R33SkylineGtst: Nice to meet you too :)

Hope everyone who went to Coles Express on Wednesday got a free sausage roll...and then discovered who horrible they are.

If you guys want to do a around the town cruise, come to my work as I will give everyone who wants free coffee XD ...or hot chocolate.....I guess

spotted on Friday arvo an R32 being driven up the hill out of Queanbeyan (otherwise known as the suspension test track - wink wink), then turning around at the intersection of captains flat rd, giving it the bottle and hitting the limiter - not pretty... (yes, i know who was driving)

i suspect mine got the same when it was in... rev limit for my GTR next time it is there...

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
