Well, sorry to the folks who went to work today, but we and I took the 3Litre Streeter for a belt down to Victor Harbor. WOW what a ride! By far the fastest car I have ever been in (and not surprisingly, given his OS Giken block alone is worth more than my car - they are $30k fyi).

Some pics are below. Enjoy.

edit: decided to remove the movie.

hehe yeah mate - it is a hard slog - but some of us have to do it.

However, if you were following earlier a couple of pages ago, I finished typing my valuation reports from yesterdays jobs at just after 5am this morning. Yes, that means I did nearly 10 hours of property inspections during the day, then typed up reports for about 6+ hours more last night.

I think I was entitled to take today off ;)

Mmmmm lunch and a beer at The Crown was bloody awesome today too :(

just found out my great grandma died this evening..

so ill be booking some time off tomorrow, so i can attend the funeral in millicent.

Sorry to hear Craig.

If she lived in Millicent she was probably a relly of my wife or at least they knew her.

Again, condolences.

i have a bottle of Jimbeam 1.25 litre 4 u i pikd up from the duty free store 4 ya

Hi Dan

The exhaust is still on your car (which is in the back shed)

They will call me when they take it off.

Enjoying the holiday? My bet is that the beam wont make it home, I know if I bought it it wouldnt. LOL

that's the one that was sitting at wilall a month or so ago! and isn't the osgiken 3litre insane? i know of a dude who has keir's old engine in his track prep r32 with 2 trust t51's i think, it pulled about 420kw? with over 1000nm of torque and i remember when he took me for a spin! started off in 2nd and ripped up the semi slicks like they're nothing and man can this guy can drive as well

one of my friends just picked up a vr4 4g63 motor, gearbox and a full aftermarket turbo set up with ex-gate, manifold etc for stuff all

he only wants the gear box for his car.

doesnt anyone know of any rwd cars that we can get CHEAP and dump the motor into or does it have to be fwd or awd to work?

haha yeah ive been in a few cordia's with vr4 motors and they were bad enough but were wanting to put it in something to slide :P

but i figured that would be abit hard to put this motor into something that is rwd :D

maybe we should make a rally basher hmmm

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
