Someone saying they spoke to Anthony last night has said that the car dropped oil under its own tyres causing it to veer hard right and hit the wall.

Such a shame to see one of the worlds quickest RX3's tumbling like that. I really liked that car :(

That's a terrible shame-but brilliant that he's come out of it okay, and that's the most important part.

That was one of my favourite comp cars.

Here's a shot I got of it at Compak Attak in May. :D

not laughing at the situation as it is a shame to see such a well presented and quick car like that written off.

but it is maybe coincidental but at the HKS mini Jam not to long ago in QLD a Pac customer flipped his RX3 Sedan whilst racing he was the original owner of the Daquino RX3 back when it was silver before Rob Stanbury brought it and then sold it to Daquino.

he was known as the Dentist when a interview was done for fast fours.

Dentist's car in QLD - viscious cross-wind into the chutes.

Anthony's RX3 at WSID - popped/loose fitting dropped oil under right rear tyre.

Pure co-incidence. Let's not forget how well and more importantly, how consistantly this car has been campaigned for years.

co incidence was probably the word I was looking for

was just tying it back to that originally the Red Rx3 was the dentists first car which he sold. then brought back again then sold again to stanbury who then sold it to Daquino.

then the bug bit him again so he built another RX3.

and unfortunately both cars have gone bye bye within in such a short time frame

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
