9. MOTOSPORT (mo-tor sport) n.

Male ........ The most prized source of entertainment, with burning rubber and spent fumes an aromic byproduct.

Female ..... What? :P

Hey Luke (Heslo) :kiss:

I went and spoke to John Keen tonight and I reckon I may get him to do the turbo swap & tune over the next few weeks unless something better comes along in the meantime.

He's got his hands full with the Sniper 32 GTR at the moment (engine out)

That's better Luke :kiss:

No rush at all Pete! Take your time honestly, I still have parts to get myself and get my manifolds ported (have to get them off first!) So when you are ready you are ready, it's as simple as that!

Took a carload of rubbish items to the Wingfield dump today .... after I unloaded came back to the weighbridge and came in at 1,640kg - so minus me 87kg the 4 door comes in at 1,553kg with a full tank of fuel and fully wet. So around 1,480kg dry by my calculations.

I have always dreamed of having an SAU drag/dyno day at AIR where we corner weigh each car, then dyno each car, then run them down the strip. We could then graph weigh vs power vs 1/4 mile times .... how much fun would that be? Might consider organising it if AIR ever opens again.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • 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
