I live in the SE Suburbs, near the clayton area, I've seen a loooot of other skylines around there :P so i hope i can recognise some of them soon!

Hey thanks guys, looks like a great forum to me. I saw that post about the cruise on the 10th, bummer, im on holiday in perth until the 14th :-P I'll catch the next event though, definitely. Oh and its a non-turbo gts, the 97 model with the dual airbags.

I might give a word of warning about T.G.S Performance from whom i bought the car, recently i had a low speed front impact (not my fault either) the result of which being that i had to get a new front kit and headlights fitted, mainly due to the poor fitting of the front spoiler. as it turned out, when T.G.S had fitted the previous front after they had imported it, they REMOVED the front impact bar to get it to fit, thus giving fark all front impact diffusion in the incedence of a major accident. The good blokes at Blackburn Motor Body had to build a new one and fit it before putting the new kit on as it was totally unsafe, and i would never have realised without having that little smash :-P On the upside, its all fixed and has a new kit which looks and is fitted much better than before, all on the other drivers insurance! She'll be looking first before cornering in the future!

yeah, her karma must have been paying back 100:1 that day :-)

well, i'd rather be in queensland or something, but my family's there, and they pay for the tickets :-P if its free i'll take it.

on a side note, my brother here in perth wants to sell his r33, do you think i should tell him to advertise it here in the perth forum??

Cheers,

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
