Hey,

You don't happen to live in Bayside do you?

If so, I know where you live (not in a stalkish way!) and I pass your house sometimes on the way to work.

My god it's the best GT-R I've seen in a while... It takes me an extra 5 minutes to get to work!

change the $ to GBP (pounds) and you're about on the money - they were low-mid $2000 - which i think is about equivalent to what Mines want for their uprights

:blink: yeah I have optimistic memory. but yeah you're right over $2K even with half decent exchange rate. but they are complex pieces for for real deal dry carbon it's on the money. the quality is top level.

that's a BEAUTIFUL GTR ..!

I want one :rofl2:

Stupid P regulations

Is it really the P plate restrictions? Or more the fact that you can't cough up $60k+ at the age of 20 for a car like that? :P

Much to my disgust, i have seen P Plates driving (and owning) $60k+ cars. However I'm yet to see one in a $100k car which is what a Nur-Spec is more likely to set you back :)

Long gone are the days of the $1000 Corona Station Wagon as a first car.

I'm not jealous >_>

BTW, hot car. And by hot I mean "Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansen in a girl on girl scene with Jessica Beil watching on and touching herself" hot.

That is a very awesome gtr mate!!!

awesome find!!

its sad to hear the guy who brought your GTT nailed it in front of you man! :spank:

i think the LMs make alot of 34 gtrs, so i dont agree with a earlier post about the wheels not matching.

great work mate

thanks for the comments :) -

it's been interesting to see the reaction the car gets out on the road, and when parked, etc. people will take pictures and walk across the street/road to have a good look.

The best reaction though is from little kids, i'm amazed that some single digit aged kids know what it is - some just see some low thing, with black wheels and a big spoiler and go 'wohh....' :D

well, i spent a lot of money on the GTT to be able to handle a spirited drive, whilst i wasn't really like that on the road, i certainly had fun at the track. The new owner has just switched to E85 and enjoying it of course :) His tuner has checked it out and of course, Trent's tunes are on the money :) i know the engine will be able to handle the new owner, time will tell if everything else will hold up, especially if it's being drifted

meggala!!!!!! blast from the m..f.. past!!!! how are you!?

you had some nice cars, you had a SR20DET R32 as well didn't ya? you were one of the original importers from memory, way back in the day, one of the few good sources of info! :thumbsup:

yeah, the GTT acquisition was a while ago, i do miss it :( lots of fond memories of that car....

Midori definitely seem to know their stuff, their R34 time attack car definitely mixed it (and at times beat) the big boys, and there's definitely some cool things going on (especially the suspension work) Unfortunately the driver skill level isn't quite up to the cars ability, hopefully one day :happy:

i thought someone had signed up with a very similar username, didn't think it would have been the original! welcome back!

thanks for the kind words though, much appreciated :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
