ok, firstly - a big apology to NismoGirl...

heres the story about my weekend in QLD...

we get to the hotel on friday.. i give them credit card number 1 (knowing that there is ample money on there) so they can take some $1500 deposit off it for some reason before giving me the key to my room (i think its an under 25 thing)... it fails, transaction declined.. thats cool, i'll give them number 2 (with more than number 1 on it).... declined... wtf?

i couldn't use eftpos cause i have an $800 daily card limit on it (to save me buying those 2540's that i want!!) do they take cheque? no!

after sorting some shit out with them to pay it to them once i work out what is going on (having stayed several times previously), i go to my room. i plug in my laptop to do some online banking to work out the prob - the connection in the room is down (oh, and they gave me the wrong room). i go to use my phone, my friend tried to unlock it and locked the sim card... phone inoperable... thats why i was screwed, no phone and no laptop = couldn't come to the cruise. :D

we sorted everything out and all is back to normal now. :) but i will make it up next time!! :)

Thats ok. I ended up having ample passengers and had to knock a few back.

I did send you a mesage but obviously didn't get it cause your sim card was locked.

Everyone was walking up to me asking who or where Prank was. I just stared blankly at them asking the same question :)

Not to worry PranK.........A very dapper Squizz and his gorgeous lady in red more than adequately represented the "out of towners". All in all it was a really good roll up. Can I suggest that next time we wear name badges. With the best will in the world....a lot of us are not good at approaching strangers... even Skyline owning ones, and for me, my 60+yr old memory is not good with names....my elder son ....whatsisname....can attest to that :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
