godsaidso, look at Matt's ( umm his name on here is whats on his number plate) car and mods. HIs is only an na engine and driveline. I would deffinently recommend converting your na to turbo so save on the dosh.

03-09-05, 08:36 GMT+10#203 yeah thats a pretty nice ride mate i take my car to TMS it is worth having a look he does an extremly detailed job and he doesn't stuff you around. For 10 grad that car will be unbreakable you should be able to get a new engine and a skyline box and computer and everything else you will need for that. We did my cooler piping ourselves but if i was you i would get a hybrid cooler of here for cheap and then get a jdcustom plenum and cooler piping kit they are worth what they cost. If you can afford it in your budget get a 9inch i saw them advertised for $1700 31spline billets bolt in your car with a rebuilt center a spool and new gears of your choice. Give TMS a call and have a talk to Peter about what you want to do their number is 4774 6707 very highly recomended mate.

On the brighter note. Whenever you want to start organising that cruise Dean I'll be there. Went and looked at that car from mission beach that had 30 000 spent on it. Dark blue leather interior, interior is so schmik! Motor has been rebuilt and runs nicely, has only done 2000k's since rebuild. Has a group A kit on it.. Tossing whether to get that taken off and replace itwith all the normals bars or not.
But yeah, bought it so IM IN!

No pics as of yet. Car still isnt here. Pick it up sometime this week -- I think thursday.
Has a slight ding in the back which I got quoted $500 for to fix, so when I fix it I will chuck up some pictures. Got the car for dirt cheap, so obviously there are a few minor things I want to fix. Has basically all the major things though, cross drilled and slottered rotors, fresh paint, interior, stereo, brand new diff, etc.
So I get to blow money on the engine straight away

05-09-05, 18:07 GMT+10#215 i got a royal screwing on the weekend from the cops too it came as follows
Friday Night done for about 1.5cm on the inside of my front tyres being bald,one tail light playing up, one reverse light out, one high beam out. 75 dollars
Saturday went out bought two new front tyres new headlight bulbs new high beams all new tail lights new reverse lights pulled the headlights out cromed up the reflectors everything sussed.
Sunday driving to my dad's house in mitchell st (behind the strand) for lunch road block just after the turn to the rock pool, they sussed out the tyres and lights as one was from friday night. db test 66db at idle 102db at 4200 rpm legal limit 90 db :s as i was getting tested foney got pulled up going the other way i think he said they got him for his locker not 100 percent his car 91 db at idle :s i'm like he is stuffed at 4800 rpm (Rb 25) i saw 107 db on the gauge but Irving only recorded 102db.
On a lighter note after they wrote out my tickets they said all i have to do now it get a new windscreen washer/radiator over flow bottle and a new indicator lense and my car will be legit and they will leave me alone oh and fix my exhaust and they will leave me alone.
