Hey all,

As some of you know I missed last weekends Winton round due to an expected arrival, and I wasn't disappointed despite it happening a day later!

At 7am Sunday morning my wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing in at 7lb 5oz and 52cm long. Both bubs and mum are doing well and are expected to leave hospital this Thurs. As you can imagine both my wife and I are wrapped, and even more so we now have a pidgeon pair which is more than we could've hoped for. We named her Courtney Leah.

It was a bit of a rush to get to hospital as my wife was having major contractions on the way and we arrived with only 20-30mins to spare....as a result I am almost 100% sure that I have made a donation to the state coffers :) but if I had to do it again I would given the circumstances! Anyway the doc is writing a letter on my behalf so I will see how I go.

-Ant.

Thanks guys and I will pass on your wishes to Nat.

All the best for the impending birth Snowie....being so close I didn't think you would make it to WA :whistling:

Lol James...we've pretty much decided that this is our quota so a procedure is imminent,after that I won't have to worry about keeping it in my pants....and depending who is going under the knife I may not have that urge to hump visitors legs anymore :)

Hehehe Scott....thats what cousins are for and the plus side is you don't have to clothe and feed them >_<

Cheers Paul....be sure to point Lauren in the direction of the thread so she can see the new arrival.

aww so cute!!

Zach looks like a very happy big brother >_<

My best wishes to you & your family.

So it looks like you won't be getting any more than about 4 hrs sleep for a while :)

Don't do anything drastic, I bet you'll change your mind in a few years when they're a bit older and annoy you constantly, and you wish they were cute, quiet little babies again. :whistling:

Lol....thanks guys.

congrats mate. time to get those pit crew jackets mits and boots made up.

Hahaha are you offering to knit them :(

so did you take the GTR to the hospital... haha 7,000rpm clutch dump into the hospital car park to handbrake turn in the ambulance driveway was totally necessary officer lol

While I did consider that for a sec the fact that leather is easier to clean than cloth (in regard to the passenger seat) and Nat would've had to wait until I had warmed her up didn't go in the R's favour :)

Only i think Brisberella would have been a beautiful name for a little girl.

Now thats a name....where were you when Nat and I were trying to decide on names?

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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
