Welcome aboard!

for a cheap mod, grab yourself an air filter ... it gives the car a nice deep induction note.

We suggest a Wheel alignment as your first point of call, then drop Okibi, forum owner and fellow Sandgroper a PM and see where the Sandgropers meet up. I think they do something fairly often in Perth.

The guys can talk you through the specs for above.

and a 2001 will be a Supreme Blue, the most awesomest colour ever :mrgreen: If anyone disagrees, just tell em' you know Caffeine and Dave from the forum, they'll quiet down real quick.

Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.

Very nice! I love the colour.

Are you coming on the cruise on Sunday?

Early NB8B models were infamous for "clutch judder" - could that be what you are experiencing? see here for some more details

I was pretty happy with the APEXi CAI on my NB (10AE)

I got mine from Greenline - it was reasonably priced, and the AUD to YEN exchange rate is improving.

my understanding is that the nb8b (late 2000 on) used the same engine block, the extra power was from a revised head and variable valve timing or something.
