Russ,

Blew a cooler pipe off and the resulting fireball out the exhaust set the rear bar on fire for a few secs. Nothing too serious and other than asthetics the car is all ok. Infact it's pretty good now - would like to have gone head to head with you down here but I see you guys aint on the list. I take it that means you can't make it?

There's a few regulars missing this time actually.

Up yours... :huh:

This car is absorbing my blood, sweat and tears. YellaGTRs blood, sweat and tears...its been a friggin huge effort and its almost come together. Its going to be damn close...but at the moment the final hurdle is going to be rego.

So waits and sees if i have any probs...but you two just go on sitting by the pool dinking Martinis mocking our efforts to get our car ready...did i mention blood, sweat and tears (...and plenty of abusive language!)...

LOL did i mention i have done several all nighters now and still had to go to work the next day...:P Im friggin try'n

again man if you need some help with anything give us a bell we owe you a few

You dont owe me anything. Im happy to been able to help you guys out when i could at the track. That said i may be pushing sh1t uphill this weekend so will wait and see if i need to lean on you guys!

Drove the car briefly, no miss under load, drove fine. A few exhaust leaks from rushed install of turbo, but spent most of the weekend ripping the manifold off, new gasket, studs, washers. Have new rotors, pds, diff, swayabars all to go on this week.

Fingers crossed rego goes to plan this afternoon then we are on our way with a car that shoudl look pretty neat, adn be running pretty well. My only concern is the gearbox...but new Syntrans will hopefully get us through the weekend.

HI-HO Silver!!!!

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
