What you mean??

lol man as i was reading i thought u were gna say u touched her or something.... :D

+1

clicked into this thread to see pics of the crappy cars autosalon had... I worked with Hayley, i dont wanna see pics of her....

Now get some car pics up lol

LOL!! not many decent cars...thats why the thread is moslty all about the girls..since they were better than the cars...lol...

i just saw paul u signed up 2004.. holy crap lol. thanks again for giving me info to stay at same hotel ^

Here is some pics of my ride.. unfortunatly i didnt get to fully finish it for autosalon but chucked most of it back together gave it a quick detail and put it up on display..

I have noticed a crap load of 4 door R34's now and i wanted to do something different as usual to break away from the common look so i decided to change it completely.

I wasnt sure how it would turn out was a bit worried to see if i could pull it off or not but it came out better way beyond i thought it would look like. I love it.

Although i am pissed off i had my rear wheels sitting flush with guards until i stuffed around with camber arms and stuffed it completely.... fml lol

Great pics bro...your car did look great...good stuff...

My old car at AutoSalon:

46578_1561963057142_1477316364_1894027_3551147_n.jpg

Apparently pulled 310awkw on their dyno.

Nice shoes he has put on it but an ugly wing!

Don't mind the pink wheels! There's only a few shades with which you could get away with that...white...black...grey/silver...

i think pink looks completely out of the colour contrast...black or grey would have been better according to me...

+1 for the wing...hate those wings...nice looking car though

Funny thing was, my missus goes. Hey look, DRFTO - Dorifto...

I was like no dear... DR FTO.

She: "Oh".

I don't think FTOs could drift on Front wheels.

I was talking to Benji's (the guy who owns it) girlfriend, and asked if it was suppose to be Dr-FTO, which it is, but she was saying heaps of people call it drfto.

Not drifting an FTO (cos they're FWD) unles you're using macca's trays or pulling a hand-breaky.

After looking at some of those car's at the show, I thought that Brenton (my boyfriend) should have entered his FTO (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3869992) The page is a little outdated as it now has 17" Enkei "Clamp" mags, and a different exhaust system.

Brenton's 2 cents: anywayz some drivers would rather grippy cars with a short wheelbase, lightweight, low centre of gravity, with a responsive NA engine with consistent power curves then skylines that remind people of crapadores drifting around a roundabout thinking their a 'fully sick race Ka drivA! skylines are awesome but they are bigger cars and have their place,theoratically you could get slug aus or american car and lower it, change all the bushes, change the cam, standalone ecu, slicks, 2.5" exhaust,extractors,supercharger,slotted, drilled and vented discs, uprated pads, fuel pump,bigger injectors, CAI, upgraded sway bars and strut braces, weight reduction etc and idont really see how it wouldent be close to a skyline.....unless were talking about a 4wd gtr

i guess my rambaling point is that skylines need mods too look awesome and handle great unlike the fto here's a link to a stock 1

http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=htt...280&bih=591

theres a completely stock 1 off gran turismo.....21k that's pretty expensive lol

FTOs have a nice looking front but the back is just whack, it always looked incomplete to me...or like Mitsubishi could have changed a couple of things about the rear and reached perfection but they didn't bother. It's a less attractive and slower Supra...and the last person I ran into with an FTO...dragged me, lost, and tried to follow me home out of anger lol. The problem with these cars is that, like my Calibra, you need to have a passion for that particular car and a want to do something "different" or you'll be very sore at the end result of the spending due to limited aftermarket support and the fact you're starting out N/A. I'd have bought one if it wasn't for that damn rear end.

The only reason you have to throw money at a Skyline to make it look good (read: different to everyone else, attract stares etc.) is because there are so many of them. If they were rare like FTOs you wouldn't change much besides the usual lowering/set of wheels (IMO that's all that should be changed anyway).

brenton says: i can see where your coming from, but the rear end does grow on you, does looks like some 911's. fto's aren't the most powerful but as an all round sports car they rock, and woukld beat NA supra's around a track despite having a 3l engine in them

Below is a U-Tube clip of it doing just that:

They have their good-from-factory place just like Preludes, Calibras and the rest of the FWD sporty marque. It's when you start spending money to chase performance that things are easier/cheaper using a factory turbocharged japanese sports car.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
