We bit the bullet today and dropped the gearbox out of dad's road GT-R. We're still waiting on the new front shaft to arrive. But the car is all tarted up on the outside now, and apparently it looks alright.

Spotted the BMS II GTR today ben in my very hungover state.

Update for us, spent till 2:30am on friday night at the sign writers getting done, developed a miss at symmons on thursday so hopefully that is all good now (think it was just fouled plugs).

All the little shit things i am not capable of doing are being done today, and hopefully get some more recce in this arvo.

Good Luck to everyone, come say hi and don't be afraid of the pink pussy!

Spotted car 819 scrubbing some tyres in at Basky today. Had a couple of issues so they called it a day early. Can't wait for it!! Will make sure I come say hello to a few people if they are about........so if someone comes up and says "Hi I'm scotty from SAU"....thats me :lol:

We had it out setting up the terratrip today. I just saw you don't have to be at scruteneering till 2:03 ya bastards, we have to be out there at 8:20 tomorrow morning.

Also there a 1981 Audi Sport Quattro running round town (it's in the tour ), it sounds soooooo good.

[PHaT MR30]

We did a 3:36.78 in the 200sx with a few hiccups along the way few missed gearchanges and bloody launching off an island!

Currently placed 5th in the rookie behind Vandenberg (EVO), Dunkerton (EVO), Maguire(Sti) and Coutts (Sti).

So not too bad!

[Duncan]

yeah we're stoked, 3rd in category 8 hopefully we can keep it up tomorrow.

But more importantly....can anyone who can lend us a 32 GTR gear shift tomorrow give me a call on 0419 BOOTY CALLS - we have lost the nylon bush at the bottom of the gear lever on the other car so there are no gears....help!

we will source one from nissan tas or the mainland tommoz, but we will need one for the day to stay on the road.....HELP
