Anyone ever heard of these guy's?http://www.slideindustries.com.au/product_p/tk-ni-rb.htm

He claims the turbo's and manifold are not made in China.

I've heard of them... Tats too... wouldn't know about the made in China thing though.

Not sure if coincidence but there used to be a place called Sliding Performance in Brisbane that used to sell performance parts.

I'd be wanting to know if they're the same place cause those guys stuffed me and a lot of guys around on orders before they were removed as SAU sponsors.

THE CAR IS READY!

Finally! :rolleyes:

I think you need to chuck a sickie and go get it.

Not sure on insurance as I'm Old, but Shannons works for me.

Who is the 33 insured thru? Hit them up.

THE CAR IS READY!

Going to hopefully pick it up Friday or organise someone to pick it up tomorrow.

Now suggestions for comprehensive insurance for a 23 year old male with no crash/suspension history?

Have you organised someone to pick it up for you? where is it located? If you need a lift tomorrow let me know

Nick was nice enough to sell me his R34 GTR VSPEC II NUR model kit. So got some things to help me out and build it !!!

I'll be going a Bayside blue (Redbull blue) instead of MJade as they didn't have the colour :(

So I got to see/drive the car for tonight. Staying at my Aunty and uncles and it's parked out the front.

I was filled with excitement and the car looks amazing, the paint is great and I love the pearl in the dark. First impressions when I went for a drive was that surprisingly enough my 33 feels 10x better to drive.

I think the coilovers are shot so they will need pulling out and replacing with some nice springs & shocks. The clutch feels a lot different because I'm so used to my heavy duty clutch and my loose gearbox.

Right now the rims are rubbing on the guards and have cracked the paint under it, similar to what happens when you try roll them without heating them.

No backfires or anything but I took it easy because it's got no insurance and needs a good service. Wheel alignment is needed and probably all the suspension looked at.

Very happy with the purchase though and I can't wait to get into some modding when I get back from NZ.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
