Bought the mag last night.

Looks pretty good for a 4 door, but the article says you did it on the cheap, (tight budget) but bought the car for $5000. It must have cost you a bomb to get it to the point it is now, so how can it be anything cheap.

I just finished a conversion and I know what that cost me and it wasn't what I thought it would be.

Anyway, good looking gadget it is, must be fun to drive, I know what mine is like with just 140.

Cheers, D

Unfortunately I didnlt get a say in the writing of the story, I bought the car 9 years ago for 5 grand!

Everything on the car I have done myself except for a few things like the exhaust and tuning.

Being a wualified Panelbeater, painter and mechanic, the cost of labour was never an issue.

And yea.....it is heaps of fun to drive....it get sback out onto the track this sunday, the car has not seen a circuit event (besides drift events) for around 4 years now, so hopefully it will return some good times.

yeah... i was thinking the same thing and didn't want to be the killjoy, but now that someone else has said something....

Posting the article up here means that people who would have gone out to buy it, probably won't bother buying it now.

If people want to see articles on particular vehicles, this is going to be reflected directly by the number of units the magazine sells when certain vehicles are featured.

If they sell less magazines when certain cars are in there, (because people are scanning articles instead of paying for them) the magazines will stop featuring those sorts of cars because they don't sell enough copies.

Maybe you should consider taking the pics down (at least until the issue is no longer available in stores) so that people go out and buy it.

.....otherwise they'll just say to themselves "we featured that 31, and sold 2000 less copies, let's not do that again!"

Yep, I had never thought of that.

I have taken the pics down, dont want to cause any problems.

John did they offer to provide you with (or sell to you) any other photos which were taken during the shoot? (other than those posted above)

That centre one would look really nice blown up.... have you got a higher res version? :(

Yea....the photographer gave me a disk with the photos on it.

And for our first wedding anniversary, Kelly got a huuge poster made up and framed with a few pics of the car on it!

You realise that article is copyright? It's not yours to simply distribute as you please.

Do you not think that maybe a pm about this would've been more appropriate?

Great idea K :) this is what i did for our anniversary :)

No. It is a matter that ALL forum members need to be mindful of. And I said it because a moderator didn't / couldn't / wouldn't.

      Dose will be able to confirm this more, but a 1.5 way IS a 2 way. It's just not as aggressive on one of the ramps. Changing from 2 to 1.5 I'm not sure how though.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      No updates on the car but figured I'd share a nice outing. All the recent work paid off and I got it all together and out the shed for a car based pre-wedding celebration for a good mate of mine. Pretty casual cruise through the hills to a pub for lunch then out for some go-karting at The Bend. Headed down to Myponga for the night We stopped in at the reservoir before heading out down to the coast for lunch via the dam  By the end of the weekend away I covered 350km and the 32 generally behaved its self. A good Shake down after being apart before the Track day in a few weeks

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      By SteveL · Posted

      The front prop shaft from my GTR had very notchy unis, which obviously needed replacement but unfortunately uses the (usually) non-replaceable (staked) type.     A new shaft is something like $2K plus shipping from Japan.   I wouldn't even bother asking the local Nissan spares dept.     Rang Hardy Spicer but no go, which surprised me a little.     There's a place over Dandenong way that would make me a 'performance' shaft but un-necessary in my situation.   They claimed to be getting the equipment in to replace staked unis but couldn't give me a timeframe.   Anyway, long story short, found a place to do the work just 5 mins from me: https://knoxdriveshafts.com.au $420 (cash) and about a week later I have my driveshaft back.   Price includes balancing. Owner is a one man band working out of a shed in his backyard but from what I could see he's very well setup with some expensive equipment.

      Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator

      By blind_elk · Posted

      Thanks. That's what I was after. One of the kits, the o-ring side is too big diameter. The other kit is a plate with a o-ring to seal and the hose connection offset.
