Strudel- 1st Gear January 22, 2011 Author Share January 22, 2011 lol.. long time ago, didn't realize it was still there. think it was only the suzuki section. That's good, saw some pretty bad footage on the news past couple of weeks. lots of fund raising going on. weather in vic was weird also, one day it's cool cold, next day it's roasting hot. Ah, should have picked up this thread sooner before selling my 15 + starlet and moving back to sg for now, could have maybe met up with Xalmon. 1000aud delivered? haha, don't know whether it's cheap or not.. lost the sense of value for car stuffs. Were the old rotors worn down already? kinda reminds me of the z32 calipers i bought for the 15, but never got around rebuilding and installing them. :( Thats a shame. I was planning to introduce you guys when I'm in Melb. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in 2nd hand models.. Hahaha. Cannot compare lah. Interest rate here very high also leh which a lot of people dont know. Everyone seems to only see the good side of Australia, like "cheaper house" (I would argue they're not but lets not go there), cheaper cars, "higher pay" (I would argue this as well) etc. If you wanna get a secured car loan, you'll be looking at around 12%? And mortgage is around 8%? For unsecured personal loan, you'll be looking at 15%? When you see these you'll appreciate SG more. BUT the working hours/environment is something I find Australia to be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strudel- 1st Gear January 23, 2011 Author Share January 23, 2011 12% for a car loan? Thats.. Insane.. Wow.. Okay. And I heard taxes are high right? If I am not wrong... The tax rate I am on is 30% now and I think maximum is 40% or 45%. That 12% is variable and average you'll probably be looking at 10%. Thats why I'll never take a loan to buy a car in Australia. Only pay cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strudel- 1st Gear January 31, 2011 Author Share January 31, 2011 Unfortunately I've hit the kerb last week just before the car goes to the workshop to get those parts installed! Thinking of selling cheap and getting these from Japan, TE37 in white 18" x 10.5" +12 because the LMGT4s dont have an ETA date and Rays dont know when they will be making them...

Like that only want to change? Either you are too fussy, or you are finding excuses to get a new sets of wheels. Just use some white paint marker, & it will not be noticeable from a distance. In fact, if you do not tell people, most probably won't even notice the kerb rashes. Edited January 31, 2011 by Kiadaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my rims but dont mind wider ones. I would prefer the LMGT4 over TE37 any day. Anyway see how ba. Gonna bring it to a wheel shop and see how bad is it.

Stratovarius Turbocharged February 1, 2011 Share February 1, 2011 Nice ride. Love the previous generation of GT-Rs. Any 400Rs over in OZ? i only saw a R33 here once. R32 twice.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a 400R on auction once and thats around 100k and a very low Ks N1 for about 75k. To give an idea, the going rate of an average 33 GTR is around 25k.

Strudel- 1st Gear February 11, 2011 Author Share February 11, 2011 (edited) Alright... the verdict is out. That rim is f--ked and twisted. Just ordered a set of white Volk Racing (Rays) TE37 in 18" x 9.5" +12 from Japan. Cant drive much for the next 6 weeks due to sea freight... Sian.
