in japan atm they are all about combining the street car with the race car style

This is the style I've always liked. GO first, show second. I just like nice, clean, simple, understated yet classy lines and style.

rice style is ok so long as it's done.... stylishly. if you're going to rice your, car do it properly, and ferchrissakes give it some go, preferably without the look at me bus-brake-BOV and er... neons... Ruffels mate I dont know, they might look good in person but I reckon your car needs a 1)good polish! 2)better wheels 3)lowering, and something on the ends of that wing, to even think about pulling off those neons. But that's just my opinion!

If u enjoy modding ur car with rice why not?

some people prefer looks as opposed to performance.

its all about individual choice.

at the end of the day we both enjoyed a tastefully moddified skyline.

whetehre it is a gtr with a t88 or a gts with a do-luck kit and volk te37 rims :huh:

after many hours of consideration ive decided that im going to ignore the NSW new P plater laws, get the GTS-T R33, drive it down to melbourne and get my VIC license then come back to sydney, where Sydney police wont know the VIC laws about power to weight ratio :) there for i get my turbo (not quite a GTR just yet) and i get to legally drive it :huh::)

might be different for you guys down there, but I think you need a garaging addy in the state in which you are registering.... good luck tho, those laws are a load of shite, just another knee jerk reaction from someone who doesn't have a clue

yeah all my relatives live in VIC, so that wouldnt be a problem, just if i get pulled up in NSW i have to say that i live in VIC 60% of the year :):huh::(

CF hoods? who here has one and where did you get it?

and is it legal to change the side mirrors to like the ones on BMW's and Mercs. how it has the indicators on the actual mirrors? i think that looks kinda bling :)

completely off the topic of rice but why the f*** is there so many speed humps in the streets of the inner suburbs in melb. now.... they never used to be there 5 months ago, now every time i go there to visit freinds/relatives n such i cant drive hardly anywhere that isnt on a main road due to there being speed humps down every side street without having to worry if im gonna go over one without losing my front bar :D

heh scathing ...

that reminds me of seeing a wrx with 19" rims going around the track... -.-

Yep, seen that too. Been a couple of WRXs on big rims running big boost on Wakefield. Pull away from me in the straights, but I can almost get parallel with them on corner exit of Turn 2 (the Kink is Turn 1) until their turbo finally spools up and they can power down again.

I've also been out when the old Tempe Tyres promo GT-R (the grey one on 20" rims) tried to go out. He popped the boot in the staging area to show off his stereo. :roll:

Once again, he pulls away in the straights and just gets in my way from Turn 2 exit.

The idiot also ended up sliding off the track and shredding 2 of his tyres (too low profile for the dirt / stones, or just because Tempe sells nasty rims with really sharp edges? Who knows..?), forcing the operator (I am not calling him a driver) to ask around for a set of space savers to try and drive home.

Then agian, in japan atm they are all about combining the street car with the race car style, becuz its more of a challenge then if it was just circuit/drag built. (eg gutted interior etc)  Also, becuz its more practical that way for normal people to have a fast car they can drive on the street, n they make more money .. etc etc

The way I see it, it depends on your intended purpose. If I was building a car for track work, it would have no interior and no creature comforts. If it was street registered and driven to events I'd have a radio (aside from whatever is required for rego), but only because if you're driving in tunnels sometimes they use the emergency broadcast in an accident. But, then again, I could just buy a $20 battery powered one.

But if I'm building a street car, it'll be streetable. The engine won't have a narrow powerband that you fall out of if you change up 2RPM from redline, nor will it be missing most of the interior. The suspension will have a fair amount of compliance, and my wheels will be light and strong, but not huge.

At the same time it won't be heavily lowered (even though it improves aero and my CoG) since I have to drive over speed humps, nor will I be putting on a big fibreglass bodykit since I never hit speeds where the actual performance benefit makes a difference but I will frequently hit the kit on the road when driving to work.

Have a look at some of the quickest street cars out there, the Clubman style cars. Even with their stock 4AG engines most people have buckleys of keeping up with them on your favourite country road or on the track, but they've got similar drag coefficients to 4WDs.

If I do body mods it'll be after I've exhausted the performance mods I can afford to do or, in my situation, if a good deal comes along. So I'll get a kit before doing a full engine rebuild or a TT kit, but if I had the money required to get the latter I wouldn't be buying the former.

im not even sure they did actually agree, but i'ld reckon.. (out the top of my head, while making it up) around 140rwkw ... :rolleyes:..

:note: i was writing this before seein gr33dy's post.. anyhow

yeah ive researched a bit and yes it is around 140rwkw for a stock GTST R33

just wondering where the best place to get a custom boot install and the interiour of my car re done?

preferably in sydney, but id be willing to drive to brissy, melbourne or canberra

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
