I can help with your addiction... :)

I would prescribe another 100kw to put that smile back on your face, but power costs money and lots of it. (as i'm sure your gtr mate has found out.) And you cant control what you have now... Back driving yet? :P

Another month and and half...almost...there...LOL

Even if I was pushing 350awkw I'm sure it won't have the same "feel" as a 350awkw GTR/Evo/WRX/etc etc...heck I've been in an Audi R8 (300kw?) and I'm sure that thing would rape a 400kw Nm35.

The 2 tonne weight and the gimped throttle (even if wire cut) is teh ghey.

Ah well can't have it all. Unless I start saving for a weekend car :P

The response is the killer with these, I drove an Evo 8 yesterday; I'd kill to have that kind of throttle response. Not so sure about the Police attention (or the woeful wing) though; I like my "invisible" wagon.

2tonnes? I weighbridged mine at 1680kg.

Just realised why I do everything myself on my car - fing auto shops are as helpful as a kick up the balls.

went to a jax shop to enquire about some centre caps - had the measurement and everything. All he could say was you should try the wheel company email them or whatever. Didn't want to help at all. To busy selling shit wheels to commodore owners I guess.

Anyone know anywhere I can find some plain jane centre caps with a 79.5mm centrebore, with a decent (over 15mm) clearance over the bolt?

SSR US want $40 each for SSR ones :(

Nope, just have a centre bore of 79.5 mm, fit obviously, have a decent depth to fit over the hub bolt, and not look ghey- nice and plain so I can spray black and shove them on

The SSR ones look a work of art - turned aluminium or something I think, but are also shiny, and I don't really want shiny, and I don't really want to pay $40us each + postage to spray em black!

Dunno if Iain can still grab one to try, but maybe you could see if the centre caps of the Nismo LMX5 rim would fit?

They looked nice but pushed in to the rim so may not fit other rims. I don't know how yours are attached.

Nah, I'd say the LMX5 centre bore is way too small. EVERYTHING I have tried has been too small, Craigs, varrstoens, stocks etc.

Just need to suck it up and buy some 2 mins noodles to live off for the next fortnight :P

2tonnes? I weighbridged mine at 1680kg.

Holy crap! I stripped everything loose out of mine (sub, spare wheel, tool kit, rear ashtray) to get to 'drag weight' & weighbridge came in at 1800kg. Curse you luxury (shakes fist in air for effect).

Having another look at theirs I can see, looks like it'd be hard to replicate the ssr. There is a rubber o ring and everything in the base of them. I can't quite tell how they seat, but the wheels so have a little lip in them. It's a mystery.

    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
