Nankangs..?

Any good, I thought they were some pov pack tyres like NEXEN's, which I have used before...

nah man they are fkn shit, get what ya pay for

also lol@ that pic. Nice car and mods, but seriously, on an angle and turned in? that's like parking your car on grass and claiming it's low.

haha truth. hate the poser grass parking bullshit.

I've never owned an R32 for more than 3 years. I keep cycling through them, I sell em as soon as they're gonna lose value and upgrading etc.

I got all attached and shit to my GTS4, which is where I went wrong, otherwise I'd have gotten rid of it 2 years ago.

longest I've technically owned any car is the ceffy. Bought it for my dad in 2005?

Anyone who's owned any skyline, that's not in mint collectible condition or is rare as rockinghorse shit, for longer than 5 years, is a fool.

Wheels and calipers are awesome!

How come some times the caliper is mounted at the rear of the rotor and some cars have it in front of the rotor..?

Has it got anything to do with cooling the brake pads when mounted at the rear of the rotor ^^ as pictured above on the BMW M3... Or is it just for looks?

They are alright for now, pretty grippy. Not that I care, they are rears and dont last long anyway ;)

Slide ways action out in the Wild West-side of Melbs :/

nah man they are fkn shit, get what ya pay for

Yeah, I thought so haha!

picked a colour that was close enough to the basecoat, but still shiny enough to look good on the golf...

Mazda Stormy Blue

totally diggin Mazda's Aurora Blue as well, but unfortunately, is a different basecoat to the current paint, which means I'll have to spend more time painting it.

This would be sweeeeet, but I doubt I'll find a sample to mix the paint off:

Having to make a claim because vicroads are a pack of ass bandits sucks.

The fact that requires to make an at fault claim sucks more.

At least something is being done...amazing how helpful just car is when excesses come into it.

Moral of story: I'm flat broke but just car are picking up the R with a tow truck in a few days to be assessed.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
