The biggest issues with perth is its speed limits and people being stingey. People pay as little as possible for tyres, corse ur 20 dollar plastic tyres arnt gonna grip the road and not enspire confidence. How are you supost to drive if u cant feel what the cars doing??? Specialy in the wet.... and the speed limits, iv never understood why ud make giant v8s and have such slow limits. At 100kmh my concentration level is minimal as which i think most peoples is too. Lots of unconcentrated frustrated people makes for dangerous roads.


Where do I get these $20 tires? [emoji12]

Hey folks - unfortunately I need to sell off my Skyline!

Does anyone happen to know anybody who might be chasing a manual V36?  I have a good'un.  I thought here might be a good place to ask!  If you guys know anyone or have any tips, let me know. 

As always - much appreciated!

Sup travis pastrana?

Making the most of the wet weather on the bike?

 

LOL no. Sad news is after 5 years of manual labour, I have fkd my spine again (3rd times the charm - looking at fusion this time) So the bike isnt seeing much use.

Actually looking into stripping the old girl down and rebuilding it as a retro street scrambler. Think old steel fuel tank, flat tracker eat and low riding guards front and back

*rummage*

ALso, as fellow wagon aficionados, Y'all might want to take a squizz at this years pebble beach concours. 

Apart from Aston Martin FINALLY releasing more details about the upcoming vanquish shooting brake. V12 2 door wagon out of the box with almost 600hp? Anyone in the market for a kidney or 2?

If you wanted it to be a race car you could buy it back and tube frame the front end.

    • 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.
