i spent 1000 on my tools at work and got given 1400 bucks worth from the government for being an apprentice, wtf do you need so many tools for??

yeah, the government grants came into effect when I was in my 3rd yr.

no tool grants.

no rta allowances.

I was one of the last who done it tough.

had no missus and didn't go out.

thought tools were a wiser investment than wasting in a car.

I was right, been through about 6-10 cars since, still have the tools.

and so many tools, to make life easier.

instead of doing things the hard way, the right tool can make a big difference.

ant dawg shreading shit up!!

everyone must get one of these!! so much fun!!

ive seen big guys on these things to if certain people are worried.

60 bucks from kmart but stock wheels are shit so i got green machine ones for another 30 bucks which should last longer.

Which Kmart?

If they is that cheap I'm getting me one ASAP

What sort of brakes do they have?

Oh and Senic drive Merewether or Yule road or Mermorial drive Bar Beach or King Edward Park for down hill skids

waratah had 5 on friday and i got 1 of them.

might have to wait till next week or just shop around for the better "green machine" tyres cause 2 kmarts didnt have them in so i got the last 2 from toys r us.

there could be other costs like the seat may break after time, but if you got a school seat and bolted that on itd be sweet, and if you want to get real good all the 80km/h guys get pumped up tyres and put pvc pipe over them and bearings and bigger axles etc, but i cant see anything being expensive to fix/dodgy up

oh and brakes is just the 2 pads on the rim like a bicycle, not heaps good, i just tightened mine though and its MUCH better.

but think about it, its only metal and bicycle parts, everything is cheap and easy

haha and right on queue, was out the front of mine on the thin foot path for a bit more of a slope, drifted round a corner and didnt go round hard enough, hit the raised grass and it tried to throw me out, heard a slight crack,

seat has a small crack in it now which will probably get bigger haha, anyone good with fibre glass? thinking of just reinforcing this one cause its pretty comfy.

and mounting it a bit better.

may have to start a build thread hahahahahahahhaha

J-Rad I think I still got some fibreglass stuff here in the shed if you want that

The other thing you can do is go to Withworths or Bias and get a fibreglass repair kit, just make sure you get some 400gsm matting as the 200gsm is crap and a waste of time. As for making it stronger some plywood or always works well but fibreglassing is piss easy just have to mix the resin and catalyst in the correct ratio

thinking of getting a school seat now, just cause the stock seat is flimsy. though school seat will look cheap haha.

I will be disapointed if u dont get a bucket seat of some sort and mount it to it, just saying.

Hahaha yeah monthly pays would suck balls

Fortnightly I could live with

And yes a little short this week but not from holidays which rocked but the new company that does the pays at the hospital have f**ked up Melisas pay yet again and not paid her for 32 hours from the last fortnight

And don't even start me on the sick leave and annual leave fiasco the hospital has created.

its not that bad, i get fortnightly pay n sorta cope :P

also finally my coilovers are in australia, in customs now should be here this week :D

Nice one, my car is booked in for Saturday to get my coilovers fitted... Anyone keen for a cruise sat Arvo ha

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
