BMW was a loaner from BMW on a ambassador program.

tomic was on P's and got an exception to drive it as it was "work"

got busted doing burnouts BMW took it off him and cops gave him ticket for being a hoon.

few months later he got off p's and bought said Ferrari.

shortly there after went to court re the hoon activity.

lost license.

lols were had.

beers were drunk.

It's also a two way street...you can't expect people to respect you regardless of your position of power if you act like a jack ass. People who say "my game my rules" end up playing alone.

Which is why bosses who don't respect their employees end up with poor employee satisfaction and a high staff turn over. Do it enough and their bosses start asking questions too.

Lot of this Tomic hate stems from jealousy cause young kid with lots of money having a bitch about something...meh...I say good on him, at least he's standing up for himself instead of just prostituting his dignity away for the sake of earning $$$.

Or possibly it stems from when he was given an exemption to drive the M3 on his p's, solely as he was a celebrity and it was "the only form of transport available for him to get to tennis" and he then used it to cruise the strip every day and act like a flog attracting as much attention as possible. Then when the police showed up to pull him up for the 3rd time he refused to stop and instead drove off home and called the lawyers... but not before hiding behind his gate calling the police names, then getting on tv and accusing the police of racially profiling him...

It could also have been that...

Soooo jealous

Looked under my car when it was on a hoist

bad idea

such a bad idea

also, are AD08's still hugely pricey? like $350+ per tyre pricey?

Why not buy Ventus V3? Seem to be $250 a tyre and from all accounts grip better

After my NT05's lasted 7000kms I am now sad.

I think you just had a conversation with yourself

Entirely possible, but was under the impression ventus were waaay more pricey, like, on-par with the AD048R

Given the echo chamber that is VWL, sometimes self-conversations have the same content

why? getting expensive ideas or things not right?

if the same workshops/people work on your car regularly, soon theyll start taking the blame for everything that goes wrong ;)

Nah. Was at scottys. Found out I had 3 bald tyres (1 is brand new and just replaced, woot...), snapped/bent steering/suspension components.....again.. and my exhaust idea had to be massively revisited for another time.

I have a couple of spare new AD08Rs from the import monster AD08R bonanza but love them too much to let them go for as cheap as they did

Solid tyre even at 2012 issue or whatever they were

From what the internets says, the Hankooks go for $250ish and outperform them, the AD08R's go for something like 350 unless you find a deal.

Almost bought the guy who was selling 2x for 500 awhile back (ad08r's)

Just knew my rears were worn, but on the indicators after 7500kms on NT05's was.. yeah. I suspect the Hankooks last about half as long as the AD08R's. Hence the query about them before HWP says HEY MATE BALD TYRES OFF TO DEFECT LAND and which they would be correct to do so.

That's The only prob with NT05's

The indicators coke up reeeeally fast. The trick is to not give a f**k and drive the shit out of them anyway. I used to rock mine well past the indicators

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
