Hey Guys, Today I had some suspension work done fitting SSL / SSSL springs. When I went to pick it up , the guys told me that in their check-over they found it had no coolant! The car was only in for its 7000k service a few weeks ago! Anyway, they topped it up with water for me for now. Now, I'm not sure if they just missed it in the service? or there is an actual problem? I'm leaving on a road trip to brisbane Thursday morning so I definitely don't want to be carrying a problem with coolant. Regardless, I've booked it in tomorrow with my local mechanic, who is going to flush it out and put new coolant in, as well as check for problems. He advised me that he uses a green Nulon coolant, will this be ok? Sorry for all the questions guys, just don't want a problem with a practically new car on its first big road trip! Cheers, Tom

What time are you guys expecting to be there? I'll probably get there around 8

You know that great feeling you get right at the end when you and your missus are going for it? Well it will feel nothing like that. But the car will go farkin fast!

Fark, looks mint man! unique! What did you get defected on if you don't mind me asking? Height?

Sorry to hear that about your wife mate, I'm sure it will all be a speedy recovery! I'm still keen on a cruise tonight, is anyone else still planning on going out?

Any updates?

I've got the 16gb 3G model with Telstra, can't fault it. Loved my S2 (Until alcohol made me lose it ) , and now I love this one. Would go Samsung over Apple every time.

It will probably go down by the production cost of one rego sticker, whatever percentage of 1cent that is.

Hey steve-o if that's on sunday around midday (cant see fb page) then I'm attending that. Work mate invited me along, didn't know many people knew about it. I urge anyone who is keen on a bit of a social cruise to come along! Would love to meet some of the NSW forum crew!

B-e-a-utiful! Thanks Worm. How will I go in the way of traction with them, street and strip? Also samhouston, thanks for the advice! but I really need a street tyre, needs to be driven whenever it rains as it's a daily.

Yeah, I'll definitely be looking for the 35s. Hope they are readily available. Edit: After looking at the Nitto site, the 18's don't come in 285, damn. Would I see much benefits out of the 275/35/ZR18?

Sometime this week or the next I want to buy some new tyres for the rear. Currently I have 265/35/R18 Falken RT615 Semi slicks fitted. The rims are 9.5" wide 18" Lenso D1Rs. Not a bad tyre in my opinion, but I need a street tyre as I'll need to drive in the wet as a daily. The tyres I'm looking at are 285/35/R18 or 285/40/R18 Nitto Invos. I know many of you here speak highly of this tyre. Firstly, I'm fairly sure it will fit, can someone confirm? Secondly, will I need a speedo adjustment to compensate for the change? Thirdly, I've noticed quite a lack of traction with the current tyres (Not always a bad thing), can I expect better grip on the wider/better quality tyres? Even though these are semi slicks? Finally, I am going to take it down to the strip at some point soon, will the Invos be good enough to get me a solid time? Hoping for high 11's, at least. (361rwkw FG Sedan AUTO) Any suggestions are welcome Thanks heaps, Tom

Why oh why did I hop on the forums in the break. Its still 6-10 at 69mins Happy that cronulla will win though

Haha it wasn't a set up shot, someone else took it when it was parked there. Thought it was the best to show what 18s look like.

My D1R's 18", I don't think think they look too bad!

Anyone going? Would be interested to meet a few of you guys and have a good XR6T turnout!

Hey Mate, Good choice. I also have 18" D1R's , although I'm running 8.5" front 9.5" rear. Why don't you go staggered? better look IMO, unless yours rears will be bigger? but 10 is already pretty big haha To everyone else, I would also be interested to know if my 18" D1R's would clear brembos? I was always under the impression that these rims were too small.

No wonder I had so much trouble selling my old car! I obviously just needed to have photos posing with the car wearing bling and what looks like a wetsuit. Dillz, you should take a note from this guy in regards to selling your car!

Actually doesn't look half bad, looks a bit odd if you look at it for a while, but still pretty awesome.

How about a group photo from each state? Taken by the resident photo nut in said state. Then have them filling up a page, the cover, or the back? Just an idea if you want everyone to feel somewhat included.

What shop? What kinda stuff you thinking of doing?

Hahaha definitely should run that on TV

I'm with Vodafone. Nuff' said.Never EVER go with them.Telstra is the best I believe.Btw galaxy 2 is an awesome phone, I love it.

Can't view on facebook :(
