Finally, some more rally cars! Very cool Z. No one out here would dare rally a 240.

Got any gravel shots?

thanks dude, yeah rallies are becoming a bit too rough now with all the 4wds ripping up the roads... was bags of fun on semi slicks tho, might have to reset suspension & join the tar babys!

here's some on the dirt for ya

This thread has spurred me to get my old car painted up for the upcoming series in Oct.

what do you think of the concept design i have had done for the old girl. Not to sure about flames though

Yeh, bin the flames and just put a back shadow or something accross the car for a bit of contrast.

not a dedicated track car, but definitely not a cruiser.

That car is 110% car-character love. That kind of project/track car I would love to have myself. Top stuff please post more pics or vids or whatever I'm a bit hungry for more now :P

Here is a couple, from last year.

Full lot below

What a beast. Last I read this was still being built so good stuff to see it up, looks like the track car paint scheme and all :( How's your season/comps goin?

Last season went ok, usual thing with a new car, little problems here and there that hindered our progress. We finished the season 20th.

This year I sat out the first 3 rounds, lak of funds, but managed to get a drive in the Sureflo 300ZX for at least the last 2 rounds.

Hopefully it turns into a full drive next season.

Here's an updated photo of work in progress on my car.

The rear rims are 17x12 Panasport Racing rims with 300x640 Dunlop slicks on them and fronts are 17x10 Panasport Racing rims with 265x625 Dunlops. Flares are compliments of the local holden dealership. Im awaiting delivery from down south of two more rear flares which will then be blended into those already on the car to give a full flare all round the wheel-arch.

Chose them because they were cheap, the plastic is flexible and will take a knock without busting and they were a pretty decent fit. Still got to cut out the rear wheel arches and fill in the gap and then paint everything in go-fast pink.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
