last thursday saw a white 33 with a nice kit driving around the regency park/south road area, saw it again a couple hours later turnin onto grand junction rd, then i reckon it was the same one again that i saw turning out of a side road on the road that leads past edinburgh airforce base. looked sweet anyway.

then saw a nice dark blue 33 at semaphore traffic lights on tuesday.

I think i saw Deluxe driving down South Rd at St Marys this morning also saw HR32 driving down there the other week. I see alot of skylines driving past work ( adrian brien ford )

Yeh that was me......on my way down to tint a car to get my bubbles sorted on the rear window.........if anyone noticed :lol:

Whiplash: can i have a test drive of the XR6T and typhoon? :P:O

Ha, why bother they feel very heavy when you drive them 1800kg's they also loose a fair bit of power to the rear wheels. I reckon that the R33 GTST has better acceloration and handles a hell of a lot better. will be interesting when the turbo focus come out 165kw. i also see alot of skylines on flagstaff hill and happy valley drive. I also spend a lot of time at marion for work, getting cars registered so i see alot down there as well.

Meh - lightweight compared to the Stagea. Well, about the same.

There are ways to get more power...... :lol:

LOL

I wouldn't want to do too much to one of the turbo falcons had one in the workshop for 8 months with a broken head from the piston detonating all because the owner tried to modify the engine all he had done was add a uni chip and BANG!!!!!!!!

Give me a RB any day.

Can't wait to see the new Stagea

Modified properly they are quite a nice piece of kit.

Munro's XR6T runs 11s.

Hey that just my personal experience with them, i was a huge ford entusiast when i started working there but after working with them i wouldn't buy one. I deal with all new fords that arrive and have to sort out some warranty stuff.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
