So 'the' day has finally came. I now am now gtr-less *insert epic sad face here*. Am leaving the nissan 4 wheelers for a suzuki 2 wheeler. Was going to add a comment about how a gtr isn't the best form of transport for a family man starting out...but neither is a bike...soooo that kinda stuffs that. Anyways, Gabnr's new master's name is Quoc, extremely nice guy and will be joining the forum soon. So fellas, be nice to him as you've all been ever so nice to me.

Quoc ==> beware of the west side boys, they bite, but not hard and are a awesome bunch of guys. Enjoy the forums and your newly aquired car. Ps. forgot to tell you, it's due for it's 2000km service (if you decide you're a weirdo like me and like to spend more time looking after it than driving it).

Hi All,

I have finally found time to join SAU (at work.... shh) . Been busy with a mates wedding, being the best man and all is damn tiring.

Anyway, I am indeed the new proud owner of "gabnr". Been searching around for a car for about 3 months before I found Michael's GTR, been looking between Evo 6, FD's and GTR Skylines.

On the day of inspection I was amazed at how clean the car was and how well it ran. So I pretty much snapped it up straight away.

The only plans for the car is just suspension work/tweaks. Just rest assured that gabnr will be looked after and is in good hands.

Anyway, looking forward to meet some of the SAU members some day.

Cheers :rolleyes:

Mattee welcome to the 2 wheels world of things....

Don't worry mate, you were not the only one to leave the GTR scene for similar reasons!

Bunta-Q i can tell you that 2 years ago when i first saw this car, the owner was a pussy! =D This keeps his car true in the condition you bought it.

Anyways hojak if you ever want to go for a ride PM me i have a 675 and plenty of torque.

*tears* When does the bike come? Any idea what bike your getting? I wanted to get my license sorted over Christmas but not sure if I'll have enough money now :(

Just picked up the bike today. Was hoping to pick the bike up as soon as i sold gabnr to help me forget about selling it, but instead, i had a few weeks to think hard about what i've done. All good now. It's a purple gs500e. leave me alone people, purple is cool.... :(

Man you were supposed to sort your licence out on your birthday, haha. What happened? pro honda in rocklea is sweet. They gave me a 2 for one deal for a two day coarse (as i've never riden before), took a friend, halved the cost, sweet. Paid for my first day, and passed the coarse. Didn't have to pay for the second day. So basically i paid a quater of the retail price of a standard 2 day coarse---mucho cheap, paid like $120 for my licence. Might be a way for you to get it cheap. You got a bike already?

Ended up holding off on the license as uni was hectic and I needed wheels for the pig at the time lol. I'll check them out that sounds like an awesome deal lol. I haven't got a bike yet still saving/ trying to sell the pig. Admittedly I haven't been trying too hard.

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
