Shes pretty stock Craig, its a company car after all. Has an STi computer, HKS exhaust, STi springs on the billys and an AVO interwarmer. Will have a custom dump/front pipe and a HKS filter in the factory box, they will arrive at my shop on Tuesday of course. SO yeah, its not that quick especially when compared to the Stagea.

Im coming down to meet up with a mate from Melbourne and attend his fiance's surprise 40th. The wife and kids are coming along. Should arrive in Alice on Monday arvo and then off the next day to the rock for 2 days and then back to Alice for another 2 days and then back to Darwin. Looking forward to it, might see some of you boys and gurls there!

Cheers

Yeah I had a look on the radar and its pretty wet around TC to Alice and beyond. Luckily this wagon doesnt scare me in the wet as it doesnt have a lot of power. I wouldnt mind seeing some rain though, havent seen any since Easter.

Have you been to the Rock before? In the rain it is even more amazing!

My car is so slippery in the rain it's scary, go round a corner at 20 and still slide.....fun though.

Should stay an extra 2 days and come to the drags! only $40 for as many runs as can get..

since the great timing of the rain ive come to the conclusion i need new tyres :)

went around miler road rondabout in third doing less than 20 ks and just slid, foot on clutch off the gas and still ended up facing the wrong way hoping cars would stop... exciting stuf hahahahaha. good fun though, went back and did it on purpose haha....

id hate to know how you line boys that actually have power feel :D

It is soooooo slippery!!

turned off larapinta onto lydavale doin maybe 15-20 and trying to be cautious, still ended up sliding. If I'm doing say 60 in 4th and accelerate slightly quickly it just spins. I need different tyres for the wet, lucky it doesn't rain much!

hell yeah, its pretty amazing how a corner we take everyday changes once its wet hey lol.

you need a front wheel drive in the wet i reckon, or a big fat sedan haha. stuff that.

its fun when you want it to happen but not when its by accident lol

Jimmy dude, enter! I'll enter again for shits and giggles. Be fun as. And wont have them super f*k off machines there either!

Ozzy? You in? Be good to nail some times in without worrying about qualifications or what? Cause this is mainly a screw around day. As i've heard?...

Definately! Hope to get both cars out. GT-R is getting some maintenance this week and the Datto is getting a B&M line lock fitted :wacko:

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
