Yeah the manifold heat sheild is the next thing on the list, its only a little job so will give it a spray. Gonna make up a stainless heat shield one day maybe, but for now a paintjob will do

Fuel hose is up there to, should get off my ass and just go buy some haha. Will probably get a photo of the engine when the suns hitting it tomorrow. The whole bay needs a good clean but it'll get a respray and tidy up sometime next year, just not sure when at the moment

I'll probably not be able to townsville till about the 9th of December, let me know if you want the money for it now or cash when I pick it up

Let me know if thats no good and I'll organise to get it picked up

Palmyra opens for Test and Tune's every second friday night from memory. Had one the friday just gone

And the Airlie thing sounds good, your hotel was sweet lol

Edited by 89CAL

i am hoping palmyra is open good friday so i can have a run against you guys.

that hotel is sweet, wonder if we'll get kicked out this time.

engine is all good to be picked up and paid for then mate.

To easy, I'll be in touch before I head up anyway

So you planning good friday drags here then up to Airlie Saturday? Not a bad idea, I'll see if the calender is up that far in advance

yeah thats the plan so far, hopefully a few more townsville guys come this time.

i am going to start getting prices for accomadation in airlie beach for the easter cruise, just after numbers so i can get a more accurate figure.

so far the plan is to go mackay on good friday and race at palmyra drags if its open, then head to airlie on satday check into hotel, go for a drive get pics then let shenanigans begin.

where i am looking at for accomadation http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/at_Marina_Shores_Home.html

prices off their site http://www.marinashores-whitsundays.com/check_availability_hotel6.asp?Region=360&Town=Airlie+Beach&hid=9178&numAdults=1&numChildren=0&numRooms=1&roomType=0&lid=1&toPage=all&item=3&tranHost=&tranURL=&selDayStart=7&selMonthStart=4&selYearStart=2012&selDayEnd=9&selMonthEnd=4&selYearEnd=2012

i hope we can get a decent discount for a large group but really $200-$300 for 2 nights is pretty goo in my books. i think it cost me & phil $160ea for the night.

i will start a dedicared thread if get enough interest.

I can't believe this town...

My Mate takes his car into my favorite fabrication shop

- contractor does some work instead of usual staff

- contractor wanker proceeds to bad mouth me even though he's never met me, seen my work, etc. He'd "just heard some things" while pulling himself over the counter

- calls my mate and asks the stupidest question (says the new bovs won't fit because the old one is in the way..?)

- then SNAPS the front grille clean in half, and tries to hide it by "melting" the plastic together with something like a soldering iron.

Grille is $600 unpainted from Nissan.

My mate is f**ken pissed, and I mean really pissed.

Dodgiest flamin mongrel in the world....

If I ever go back to his shop I'll be specifically asking for them to not let this clown near my car.

Mackay is full of dishonest shit stains.

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
