The whole time I was in the camper I was just dreaming of having my car over there!I did see a few R33 Skylines though lol. I remember one of the NZ guys who wanted to compare XR6 turbos to Skylines saying Christchurch was the Skyline capital of the world, I think he is right haha.

Meaning that if someone hits you and they are in the wrong, then it is up to them to give you money for the damage because they may not have insurance lol. Imagine hitting a $200K car and writing it off, that's half a house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right however, and what nobody seems to get their head around is that it is for the protection of ALL, not just the person whose car is hit.

stevet Member 85 Member For: 16y 5m 8d Posted 22/08/09 09:00 AM Share Posted 22/08/09 09:00 AM Hey guys. Who is a good tuner of turbo falcons in the southisland?? Anyone had good experiences? Prefer if they use VCM or Snyper. Having issue with tuning my car locally and looking at alternatives, someone who has worked on XR6T's and knows them well.
