i naturally assume theyre Sri Lankan or Indian, as 9 out of 10 of the supras i see these days are driven by them and usually have roof wings, many bonnet scoops which dont have holes cut for them and roof vents with the ugliest chrome 17inch rims youve ever seen.

yeah them...

aaaaah Nico Rosberg... who's he race for?

Mercedes GP, alongside M. Schumacher - The Germans

lol personally I don't care if you've got a 600kw GTR, no fucker is driving my car unless I'm 100% confident in their skills.

This lesson was learnt after some guy who claimed to be a "awesome driver" with a 300kw GTSt rode the clutch on my triple plate ORC rx7 and fucked it.

I don't ask to drive other people's cars, and I don't let others drive my car. My car, my mods, only I've driven it long enough to know every little detail about it. You don't, and I don't trust you to treat it the same way I would. Simple as that.

^^ That's fucked man!

Did he fix it? Pay for it?

Same with me, the only ppl I let drive is my mechanics who I know personally.

Also my panel beater, but they know not to 'drive' it, only when moving in and out of the workshop.

+ I wish not to see my panel beater at all, meaning I don't want to have any panel damages.

:(

If I'm in the car to supervise then generally anyone that owns a manual car is welcome to drive. At any stage I can say GTFO.

The people I don't trust are panel beaters and the like... I've only had bad experiences with them. F*ckers used like $40 of fuel when apparently all they did was "move the car around the workshop"

lol dumb kent... i told him "its a bridge ported T88, its got a triple plate... can you handle it?" and he's like "yeah man I know how to drive manual and I have a powerful car". Crunched the gears when shifting to 2nd, 3rd and 4th cos it kept wheelspinning on him, almost dropped him when he finally pulled over.

yeah actually, the people who drive it are my mechanic/panel beater, and the boys who work at the workshop. Cos they all know how to properly drive cars.

Only people that drove my car were

My brother - when it was stock/mildly modified

My mum - when I was overseas for a few months, 250rwkw

RE Customs/mechanics/suspension guys etc

Justin

The guy that bought it didn't even drive it until he had handed over the cheque and was driving back to Sydney...

Yeah even when selling my cars I never allowed test drives. I'd drive them to show them how the car drives and tell em I'm protective of my cars... they usually understand. I've had one guy get all suspicious so I told him to fuck off. No exceptions.

I echo this.

I would never buy a car that I haven't driven. Some people that know their cars really well can hide some faults with their driving. When I went to look at my car the owner drive first then let me drive it so I could do a few tests.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
