[dysonest]

keen for a cruise today ppl ?? weather is decent. ill be goin for a roll anyways

[89CAL]

Ok so who's available/keen on a Saturday day/night meet + photos. Some of you want to go to the drags (think that's Saturday) so we can split the day or you can all go to that together

I want to get photos of any colored cars during the day and probably black cars at night (as they look a bit better at night) but I will take photos of all the cars at both times

I've got a few little things to do saturday morning but will see what everyone wants to do then work out times

[Nur33]

Ah damn i will have my head jammed in a Liebherr Digger sucks arse!!

[89CAL]

Here comes the excuses

[The Mafia]

ok, I've downloaded Nissan Fast 2010. Callan, I understand that you were chasing it?

Its supposed to work with Windows 7 x64, but I haven't tried it yet. If it doesn't, I have a Virtual Machine built running Windows XP and Fast already installed that I am happy to copy over. All you need to do is download VirtualBox (free) and add the VM.

Happy to burn a DVD for either one.

[89CAL]

I tried downloading it from a site that has some random skyline/Nissan stuff on it but it only partially downloaded every time I tried.

I'm not in desperate need of it but if it works on windows 7 64 bit I'd be happy to have it

It's very handy to have

[89CAL]

So if anyone has a spare WORKING CAS, please let me know Mine sounds like the bearing is about to explode

[89CAL]

So everyone sick of the Mackay thread? I'll just make it my own thread, with another Pic

I've got my fix of carbon fibre engine stuff now I think, taking votes on what to do with rocker covers - Paint them black or polish them/paint them silver

go

I think you should buy my carbon fuse box cover callan would look very nice with the other carbon bits ;-)

[89CAL]

I was thinking that, but not yet. I want rocker cover ideas ATM lol. Don't know what to do with them

[skitzs rb26 gtst]

Paint them. polishing takes to much effort to keep clean.

[89CAL]

Yeah but I think polished will look alot better then black. Might just paint them a high gloss silver

[Nur33]

I would paint them Cal, polishing sucks arse and it if you don't keep on top of it they go dull very quickly, unless you like polishing your engine every time it rains etc.

[89CAL]

No I dont lol

What colour? Have some metallic-ish silver caliper paint which would probably be alright and would resist the heat well... that might do

[Force Fed]

make some stuff match up, blue always goes well IMO.

[Nur33]

Paint it what ever colour you want, i don't mind the blue and silver, i done it on my mates R34 once and i'm about to do it to my other mates supra. Cusco Metallic Blue with Metallic Silver doesn't have to heat paint just prep it correctly and she will be all sweet. Having blue silicon hoses is a pain because a bright red engine with blue hoses it not nice it you know what i mean but i think the metallic silver and carbon will look good.

Here's a pic

Seeing this is a Mackay Car i'll post it. My mate Richard has been saving his hard earned coin for the last few years to build the ultimate street Supra 1998 model VVT-i and has entrusted me to beef up the power for him hehehe.... hopefully be punching out a nice 650-700rwhp in a month or 2. Mostly HKS gear in it and it will be getting tuned on Sucrogen E85 same shit the R32 runs and tuned by none other than Mr Mark Jacobson at Godzilla MS. Once the supra rolls out of the shed Kingy's R34 GTR will be coming in for a new and improved fuel system and a re-tune on E85 big numbers coming out of that thing hopefully.... R35 killer it will be can't wait..

Pics:

Before

After

Boxes of Goodies just about make ya firm in the pants lol!!!

[89CAL]

I remember when my HKS box rocked up, felt like Christmas all over again.

Hopefully the T04Z delivers more to expectations then my turbo did lol

I'm probably gonna go silver on the Cam covers to put a bit of contrast between all the carbon fibre surrounding parts. Will experiment over christmas anyway, have a month off to play around with the car, and I'll be respraying nearly the whole front end and maybe a few other things anyway so will have a play with the cam covers in between

[Nur33]

The amount of boxes that arrives at our house every week, most people must think we do this shit for a living, lol just a weekend hobbie.

Wish i had a month off again to, keep chipping away at it Cal, it will look like a million bucks soon enough, it's hard to make a RB25 look nice.
