When I was younger I applied for an apprenticeship at a ford dealership, to be a mechanic... I had to take an aptitude test and do two interviews and was rejected.

pfft, I wasn't quality. I knew absolutely nothing about Engines, and still pretty much don't. I just google things and then try my luck.

That being said, I'd love to spend some time with actual mechanics and further educate myself.

morning guys, so I have started to think about getting me a new turbo again after spending my spare monies on my lil bro's car so have started putting lil bits aside, wondering if anyone here could offer me some insight on how or where I should go, money is a problem for me atm currently have $300 in secret funds lol so I guess I will still be a way off yet before I can get something, so any recommendations or if anyone has a good spare upgrade for me willing to let go at a fair bro friendly price let me know [emoji6].

Hypergear.

Secret funds stuffed down your bra?

How much further do you wanna push it?

Don't put single items on that require retuning. Try do it in groups to save costs.

Might not be able to max out turbo without injectors. AFM. Etc so no point putting bigger turbo then have it turned back to standard power

Are you looking for power mods or handling ones? If power then Trev is right. Always do them together if the car needs to be tuned after. If handling ones then I'd say get a decent set of coils and then brakes. If the coils are good enough you might be fine with stock sways.

Hi Guys who wants to have a morning breakfast meet.  The reason why I didn't set something much earlier like we discussed a few months ago is I had problems finding a CAFE where we could look over our cars while we eat and be near our cars and not far away.  

I have managed to find a nice suburban CAFE.  It is called Mid-century CAFE and Collectables, and it is in Yokine, 4KM away from the CBD nice, quiet and out of the way of typical noise, rush and crowds of your typical cafe place and traffic jams.  It's a pretty basic place with basic menu, not your typical CAFE setting but it is a retro setting.  They are closed Sundays but Saturday mornings are open from 8:30.

Probably not looking too clear this Saturday but next one might be better, so I'll set a day and see you all there.
So let me know if you're keen on this to bring your Skyline and have a bite, I'd love to see some GTR's out too.

It's bad timing for me...as my car is in the shop for (ETA).
Also, I think Z00key's car is also in the shop, unless that's finished and he didn't tell me?

Picked up my car yesterday, looks soooooo much better, guys there said reason rear kit didn't fit properly was other guys they had it up a fraction too far, he also said that the under body work that was done was so crappy can't believe they were a professional panel beaters. Anyway car back now noticed on the drive home power steering was slightly heavier unsure if it was me from driving a tiny light toymota corolla to this will have to pop hood and have a look. as for cruise nope work Saturdays so won't be going joys of retail :(

Not me?

Cyclists are just awful.  Near my house we actually have Cyclist pathways for them to use...but they don't. They insist on "sharing" the road.
Most cyclists also don't signal properly, and insist on riding side-by-side, meaning traffic has to change lanes just to go around them...when they could be on the Cycling Path 3 meters to the left!. They ride through red-lights, don't ever check their blind spots, and have no idea how to properly act on the road. I've read so many reports about cyclists hitting pedestrians, resulting in fatalities.

imo: Cyclists should have to register their bikes, and pass a course that teaches them road positioning and what to and not to do when on the road. Also, if they want to ride on the road they should have to wear better protection. 

in short: Take it to a cycle path/track. //end rant

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
