...We started as Team Gatecrasher, Team Bin It, Team Flat Spots, Team Whatever, we had fun ...

Damn, almost had it! I wonder where i went wrong. :(

Thanks a mint for the pics, and 100% agree. We did have fun! :laughing-smiley-014:

...oh, and now i have seen those pics. Sorry about the flat spot. We always knew it was going to be my doing :P

well troy jamezilla told me you have a bit of a flat spot in bed too which is why I stopped answering your calls all those years ago. now if only I could get snowman to return mine.... :P

I better start building a car!! :P

Round 1 in VIC sounds fantastic, that means i'll get some merchandise that actually fits me, when vic is the last round they never have any small shirts, jumpers or jackets left!! :closedeyes:

:PGoes looking for 3rd co-driver in 3 years :no:

Brisby, I am more than happy to co pilot the silver bullet again, I have a date with destiny at Sandown & Winton with the silver bullet, PB!! And we owe Ryan and Jarrod an absolute beating at the next one!

That car is the coolest!! I love it! It's a bit of a handful though, well that's the perception anyway! :kiss:

You make the call and I'll start getting sponsors! :D

Oh and my car is already half dead (just the passenger side), it's a long story!

I'll have it back soon and i'm thinking of upgrading to a new car...

But, but...its like Sept 2007???? Dont entries open 3 days before the event and scrutineering only 11 hours before the start of the event ???? :kiss:

Count me in....just have to get the pesky Sil80 back so we can TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS!! Of course there is the small matter of that other car that beat us as well. Actually , not a single car out there beat us...we beat ourselves :D

GTR FTW!

I better find some motivation to pull my engine out and fix my diff/sump then.

Some casual observations about GTR drivers. They wear velcro shoes. They use electric tooth brushes. They use clip on ties. They prefer the coitus interruptus method rather then slipping on jerry.

There isnt much about anything they do that doesnt involve a shortcut or a leg up. So why when it comes to driving woudl you bother putting the front diff back together? Surely the easy/lazy approach would be to just drive the thing in rwd :kiss:

BTW - for those interested to know just how bad the clutch was in the Vantage...

You can see the heat scoring on both sides of the flywheel and just a shadow of the former clutch. The clutch itself dissolved into dust.

Ooops.

Yes. maybe...

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
