  1. Liam: Definitely mate, I've had 3 turbo's on this car now, and have spent way too much over the past 6 years chopping and changing. Next outing will be Haunted Hills on the 29th, can't wait for it. It's going back into the workshop for a once over and to fix a few niggles, as well as get a re-tune prior so hopefully it's running really well there. I'm not expecting too much as I'm going to run on old tyres until I'm sure there's no bias issues, but will be awesome regardless. It was even heaps of fun in the Clubbie.

    As for tyres, I get them from Protek tyres in Oakleigh. John is a top bloke. If you want Advan's you may want to speak with Traction Tyres, they're really good guys too and very knowlegeable. Good luck on Friday!

    Also, here's a vid of a random dyno run on another camera:

    Haunted hills! ive seen footage of that track, looks the goods! I'll eventually head up there oneday but really need semi-slicks as road tyres just dont cut it haha. I'll give protek a call and get a price sorted.

    I was meant to head to winton today for an open practice (took the day off work) only to find that I had no power to my coilpacks :) so this arvo had to rewire it straight from the battery.. looks pretty ghetto, but it does the job :D . Theres an alfa romeo track day being held this sunday so i might head out and give the ol girl a run (but dont really want to pay $110 to join that club.. :ermm:

  2. Thanks Liam :( It's been a lot time in the making, and still a bit more to do, but everything that has been done so far has been to a quality I'm really happy with. I thought if it's going to be gone that long then it had better look like it was time, and money, well spent.

    No vids as yet as my POV cam batteries died on the day after a few minutes of each recording... but I'll gt some up after HH this month.

    Yep, sold the Clubby and bought the STi about 6 weeks ago. Loving it! Nice choice of ute man, they're fat as and sound great. I was just after something smaller again as the Clubby was a bit big for me and getting on in the km's department, and I didn't require my daily to be my tow car anymore. Great daily though

    Yeah its better to do things right the first time, definatley saves money in the long run!

    Nice vid, pity the batteries packed it in before you unleashed the beast! POV cams are great, Ive recently bought a Go-pro motorsports cam I dont have the cash to spend on better equipment but maybe later down the track I'll upgrade haha. I'll give it a test run at open praccy at winton this friday.

    Sti is another favourite of mine, awesome cars, probably cheaper on the juice aswell!

    When are you gonna be hitting the track next?

    And just a quick Q for all, where do you guys purchase your semi-slicks from in melbourne??

    Cheers

    Liam.

  3. Hey Dane you have a great setup mate. Ive said it once before but I'll say it again haha looks bloody unreal! The box for your fuel system looks the goods :) The dash and custom panel where the radio use to sit is a work of art, nice brakes aswell!

    Good all round package :thumbsup: any vids?

    I see in your display thing that your driving an wrx now.. did you sell the clubsport? Ive just bought myself a vz ss hardtop ute with a few goodies, :blush: great tow cars!

  4. many moons ago when I was living at home some cops came round one Sat arvo...

    I walk outside to see them inspecting my old 33... started to chat to them and apparently a neighbour had dobbed us in as we had a loud car that was waking them up in the morning... I asked them what time and they said approx 5:30am... There was no way it was me as I never get up that early so I took them out the back to show them my dad's old Alfa Giulia GTC... they just laughed and asked to hear it... I gave it a few revs for them and they said nice car and left promptly lol... that car is seriously loud, I did used to feel a bit sorry for the neighbours! lol made my 33 sound positively quiet in comparison :bunny:

    Hahaha nice one!

    Im yet to get a visit from the po po's but im sure in the near future they will be knocking at my door :bunny:

    That yellow Panspeed fd is automotive porno!

  5. My jaw literally just dropped when I saw the above photo! :)

    That is INSANE!!! :(

    *edit, just read the last page.

    mmm rx photos! that 787b monster would be incredible to hear and see it in the flesh. err metal.

    As for pissing off the neighbours.. 3 weeks or so ago I had dog shit thrown at my garage door and squished under the roller door and into the handle/lock :) haha ratbags, I will be getting them back as I know who they are (have complained a numerous times :dry: ) its not like i sit and rev the car at 2am and hoon in my street (there are lots of kids that play in my street)

    Last encounter I had with them they said they are going to report me to the epa, I said go ahead take my rego and pointed to and empty space where my licence plate should be. (its a track car, no rego) they wern't very amused haha

    Im thinking about shitting in their letterbox.

  6. My vet tells me that chocolate is cumulative in doggies (much like mercury is cumulative in humans)... They can't process it and get rid of it and it can be harmful if enough choco goodies are ingested.

    That's why they have carob drops, and not chocolate drops for doggahs!

    Just an FYI :yes:

    Now he has no Boost bar, and a sick dog... rough day!

    A mate's dog ate a whole block of chocolate and she was fine, so I wouldn't worry too much. But yeah, no good for them

    My ex eats chocolate but unfortunatley she hasn't died yet... :P

    Hey stuart, your evo is coming along nicley, love the cage! good work.

  7. Ok - here's some footage from The Sideling which is probably the most famous stage us Rookies got to do and was also the 1st stage I mentally decided to have a full red hot crack at. As can be seen I got over excited once or twice. Ended up doing an 8:09 which was around 20th outright (but best in Rookie by 10s) - but to show how the Woo is doing it was still 1s slower than him in the RB20 R32 fence eater. :P

    Nice work mate! enjoyed the vid!

  8. unfortunately I don't take nuts as payment lol

    I love your FC too dude! very nicely put together... maybe we need to give each other a ride sometime:)... actually that sounded kinda gay but you know what I meant lol

    Haha thanks mate yeah it is,

    Im getting it back from the tuners next week hopeing for around 230-240rwkw (small numbers compared to you gtr freaks! haha)

    It was originally a non turbo auto, power was pityfull so in went the 13bt and 5speed from then on there was no looking back haha

    finally an update!!

    thought you might like to see how the r34 is coming along, still lots to do.

    but we have done trial body fitting, engine and gearbox are in along with front and rear crossmembers and arms, most of the electric are done.

    still needs suspension and engine management , all oil and fuel system etc etc etc

    front wheel track will come out another 30 mm yet!

    lots and lots of hours gone into this car already and so much more to do.

    hope you like.

    :laugh: That is honestly the best 34 I have ever seen! Bloody unreal!!

    Top work mate

    Looking forward to the vids! :thumbsup:

  12. Yeah Liam, Tim (not Donny, LOL!) bought the R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur along but he was car number 53 inline and when he arrived they were only up to car number 30.

    He had to leave and could not wait. It would be good to see if it still pulls 306 rwkW's like last year at RE Customs.

    Tried finding you last night... I should have just called you... You still got same number?

    Some nice cars there last night, a lot of EVO's too.

    Ah yeah thats right tim hahaha

    I only stayed for an hour as I had something on later in the night, some bloody nice cars there! there was a midnight purple 32 gtr that looked absolutley mint!!

    pm me your number jamie. I went swimming in a pool with my phone still in my pocket and it drowned haha

  13. Hey Liam, hows things?!

    You can always put it on a tow truck like how you took it to '08 Auto Salon... LOL!

    Anyway see ya there tonight.

    Hahaha nah too much effort!

    Tell Donny to bring the NUR r34 gtr or even the nismo bayside blue 34 gtr! :P

    See ya tonight man.

    Liam.
