GTR-N1

No website afaik, but I'll post up pics here real soon of my 2nd GTR - pearl black. 2 grades of Menzerna polish were used... > swirls and scratches gone > Bob Barker, Daily Telegraph photoshoot > Best Concours M Skaife Award at R34 GTR 21st

The bravado he displayed in front of his son, came back to bite him! I could 'hear' him say to his son that afternoon, "Well now I've softened him up for you, he'll be desperate to accept a lower offer when I ring him back!". smarty pants

Have Tim, Alex, Darren and Chris supplied enough "dots" for you to join yet "????"

When someone pulls in behind me at Maccas Chris, I don't care what he's driving - Lol ...and I don't feel like changing my User Name atm hehe...

Hiya Brendan, Many thanks for feedback. So glad you're on the mend and... 1) finding purpose through the study/work you're putting in 2) are able to break through pain barriers that most of us would cringe at. BTW, I came across a cerebral talk-back documentary on radio on the weekend. It's about how the venom of the black mamba snake contains extremely powerful analgesics - researched atm at Edinburgh Uni I believe. Unlike opiates that wear off, these 'mambagines' (named after the mamba) don't form "tolerance" in potency. Several links can be googled; but here's one... http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/345542/description/Black_mamba_bite_packs_potent_painkiller Apparently, totally different nerve channels are utilised from those of opiates.

No trouble at all fellahs. SAU.NSW will be organising 2 more Tech Nights in 2013. Stitching together one for 24th April on things mechanical, with a couple of special cars on hoists. It's easier for these places to do Tech Nights on weeknights so as to not disrupt their families. So, 24th April being a Wed is the night before a holiday. I hope that works out even better for SAU Members. Anyway, on to the next page > Page #2 should see us "booked out" at Meguiar's!

Probably look a lot like my spares eh Bobby? But with different caps! ^^ these are the same specs as yours. Their rarity forces the price to stay stable.

I took my car to JEZ ^^^ last time. Highly recommended if you're happy to go a bit north of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Lol

I wrote a book called, "Good Grief - Bad Time" '3 Ways of Coping With Loss' It's distributed by a reg. charity these days, but I have a spare that I can send down today if you wish. You can present it to the family on behalf of you SAUers who are attending? Perhaps you can sign it? Gratis. Let me know K?

What does the 3-digit embossed number say on the engine block? Have you put the VIN/Chassis number through FAST?

Checked out as a real N1. Insured value is more than the asking price.

Hi, You might wish to stay in touch since I'll be replacing my one with a Nismo2 version. I presume you have one ribbon loom feed? I think mine would be Sharp since the car is '99. Cheers T

Possibilities... * mistaken identity * vexation at your type of car * district hooliganism * jealousy * alcohol/drug fuelled violence ...or a combination of some of the above? Can your CCTV be matched with a commercial one nearby, which displays the same taillight idiosyncrasy + Rego?

My Anecdotes over the decades... 1) There was a time when most adverts were linked with a land line - you know - the receiver has a hard casing. Anyway, when someone called up with one of those 'half-price-offers', I'd say, "Hello" - "Hello" - "Hello" as if I couldn't hear. Then when the sucker was yelling his offer (by this stage)(obviously with his ear flush with the receiver), I'd then smash my receiver on my desk or kitchen bench (or any sort of hard surface), a few times > gives them the hint that 'half-price-offers' are damn-well rude if they haven't even seen the car! 2) As a buyer in a car yard once, I started to inspect a car from underneath the rear. Two salesmen walked up behind me, and instead of introducing themselves, one remarked to the other with a guffaw, "He's looking at the wrong end". I immediately got out from under the car and said to the nearest dude with a bright red tie, "Hi, my name's Terry". That salesman said, "Hi, my name's...". And I interjected by saying, "You need a wash - you stink" > walked off 3) I gave up advertising with the Trading Post after it seemed to be invaded by advertisers and buyers from the middle-east. I gave up, because callers became more abrupt. They had no respect for my wife if she answered. They'd try and 'soften me up' with ridiculous offers - only to have probably the real buyer (-their friend), call up with a 'more reasonable' offer but still 30% off the asking price. 4) A lovely looking young lady came to my clinic to quit smoking. On taking her name down, I noticed it was Greek and asked from which part of Greece her family was from. She announced that she had a Greek father and a Lebanese mother. At her final session, she said she was late because her car was on its last legs & needed to be replaced. After the session was over, I asked if she had Lebanese friends in the car industry who could help her out; to which she retorted, "Oh no! I'd never buy from a Leb". Anyway, despite stereotypes, I've bought a Mazda 929 (Roselands), an XR6 (Chipping Norton) and a Prelude VTiR (Punchbowl) from middle eastern people - a couple of them Lebs. I don't like to stereotype - but I check for 'cut 'n shut' - and I've seen a couple.

"Number Recognition" via RMS, has my car down as a "2011 R34 GT-R" Kat

It looks at this stage, to be in wonderful condition Brett.

Thanks Genelle for your hospitality + bathwater for the N1 The beach mission went well with all the cars 'n bikes. At Husky afterwards... ...taken by an OzFoz car club member who spotted me too - Lol

Lance (as Moodles2) was a helpful soul here on SAU many a time! Prayers for his family and friends.

JapLink Motors 23-25 Bridge St Rydalmere. Todd and Yumi have 2 Japanese technicians employed there who know their stuff. And they charge discount for SAU members.

Yes. The corollary is that with a clean bay, you can detect... * oil leak * coolant leak * air leak and get to it more quickly!
