lol @ one of Alvin's defect reasons...

"Rear spoiler mounts are too sharp"

In case you hit a pedestrian while reversing backwards?

2. I'm not even going to reply to the color suggestion request, since it won't be one of our suggestions anyway.

1. There's only so many colours, if enough are named it will likely be one of the suggestions

2. I do hate some people who ask for opinions when they've already made their mind up...though some people wanna be assured by others they have made a good choice...I hate the ones who do it and go against what everyone has suggested

3. I was thinking of a metallic blue or dark purple which have been suggested :)

Cheers for the info re: gtst and gtr, hence my question as to how different they really are when fully set up

Which seems hard. For what its worth I wenT WOT from 0kmh with 375rwkw and had traction in first which was rather suprising. Howvever around a corner is considerably less likely.

Scotty would know how much of a stickler I am for the stealth look. If someone was just looking to buy a rb28 neo I'd sell them mine.

As for r33 colours, go get House of Kolor's Galaxy Grey. Someone did a drag r33 with this colour and it is fantastic. I asked about it for my r34 before the convo subject changed to 'prepare for write off'

I'm not buying a legit 375rwkw with traction in first unless you were running drag slicks!

Same colour. Unless you are doing bay, door jams etc, in which case MNP

Don't wanna do same colour cause to me that's always been like spending a few thousand on having it look slightly better than before. I like to justify the expense by doing a colour you can't get that model of car in, so that it's more a modification than a repair.

My current favourite contender is this, which I think is dark metallic blue running slightly into dark purple.

These things come in all sorts of custom colours, including this blue, which is quite striking but may be over the top for a non supercar?

Anyway, keep the suggestions coming and feel free to show pictures! I'm pretty open at this stage, though a blue or red or any colour that 33s don't normally come in has good odds. It would have to be a damn good silver to make me want to respray same colour.

The Auto helped a lot, big semis, stock stall converter, softish rear... I drove it and was seriously impressed, especially with the auto controller. Damn shame it didn't last...

Why there was no footage of the drift day that killed my spare tyres Greg? I am quite sure it wasn't hooking up then...

Time for a c34 Stagea shell mate. You have all the good bits for it already. :P

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
