Hey there R33Dan.... welcome to town mate and trust me when I say handling the heat doesn't get any easier the longer you are here. And if you don't have a nice big fmic now, then you should probably think about making that your next mod - especially with that new turb.

And hey, that reminds me ..... there's a guy down at Perkins Shipping who reckons he can get a heap of cheap Jap performance parts. Says he has some Galant, Silvia, 180sx and Skyline GTR parts for sale. I got him to put my name on a set of Brembos ....... and at the price he quoted me, well shit ..... it's practically stealing!!!!!

Hey Ken, you interested in any of these parts?  :ddd:

4CDFED I'm always interested in some cheap (stolen LOL) brembos to fit the stagea.

Cheers ICE

hehehe....... truth be known mate, Ken probably went on some drunken rampage through Ropongi one night and got half the parts off cars parked in the streets as he went along. I'm sure he did get some of them at Auctions, but I'd hate to imagine who he filled full of piss to achieve that!!!!! :alcoholic

Grabbing parts at auction is fine, getting caught doing it isnt though! All my parts are legit man! I have got a set of bnr32 brembos with slotted and drilled rotors coming in the container but Craig has first option. Do have another set of 4pot 32 calipers and rotors if you are interested.

Cheers,

Ken

hey do you guys wanna meet up somewhere go for a cruise or somethin or who will be out where 2nite

Okay guys .... I suppose we had better stop post whoring R33Dan's post.

R33Dan, sorry mate - we'll get back on track now and answer your last question.

I'm sure we can all catch up for a drink sometime, but most of us NT guys in this forum are nearly all married with youngens - so I don't think we get much of a chance to go cruisin at night anymore....... although sometimes I have been known to do it when I'm trying to get the young bloke off to sleep :)

Anyhow, that said - a few of us don't mind a few cold ones on the weekend and I myself don't mind a couple after work on a Friday arvo - that is unless the missus wants to go to Casuarina, but hell - there's a couple of bars over that way too :ddd:

But if your into cruisin, best bet is just to have a look around town on a Friday or Saturday night. Check out the Carparks on the cliffs around Casuarina Drive or head down around the Trade Development Zone (TDZ) about halfway along Berrimah Road and your sure to bump into some other like-minded souls.

I'm also going to head out to Litchfield Park on the ANZAC Day long weekend with the family if anyone else is interested. We will be heading off early on Sunday morning (24.04.05) and will be staying in Bachelor overnight - so that I can partake in our traditional ANZAC Day past time and sleep it off before heading back to Darwin on Monday arvo. Anyone else wanting to tag along is more than welcome, but if u want to stay overnight, then you might have to pitch a tent or get a room at Rum Jungle.

Cheers ...... Craig

    • 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)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
