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.

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

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
