had a good ride on the Toy Run today....little bit wind/sun burnt on the face riding up but wore a mask on the way down which helped abit.

interesting that it turned out to be an illegal event under Rann's new bikie laws.......would've been hard to enforce those laws with over 30,000 bikes there and members of 3 clubs riding together up front.........and no shots fired at each other either, lol

Toy Run was great. Enjoyed giving the little kids a passing hi-five ... hope I didn't break any of their little fingers :) The odd shower on the way up was annoying, but not enough to get wet thru the leathers and all.

It was amusing to see the stall for the FREE Australia party. Mike Rann does look the spitting image of Hitler. :laugh: Illegal event or not (under Rann's stupid laws) the Toy Run has always been a success. Was good to see the 3 clubs at ease with each other ... which was good for me and Pete as we were in the middle of it all. ;)

Heard more talk on that issue after the Toy Run Pete. Caught up with a few MRA guys and Mr Rann is running scared with this new political party being formed. Some senior MRA reps and party members have discovered that their phones have been taped too. :down:

Also heard a funny little story about how Media Mike's first wife left him for a biker :laugh: ... motive?

Jen's step dad bought a heap of F.R.E.E gear yesterday. He looks red in the face even with the mask on.

Good to hear there weren't many incidents, hear of a few trail bikes not making it all the way and a Harley or two

There are always clowns in the crowd, which is why we chose to ride up ahead. There are always bikes coming to grief either thru breakdown, overheating or just dickheads in general.

My mate Jess was riding her VFR back down Glen Osmond after with me and Tracy riding with her. Some stupid idiot in a BMW changed lanes on us even tho he saw us clear as day! Hustling his way across intentionally waving 1.7 tons of metal. I was in a position to get out the way, but Jess was already forced off the road and into a slip lane she didn't want and almost up the gutter. We stopped at the lights and abused the dickhead. He was shit scared when he realised he had no where to go ... not so tough now ;) Hope he enjoys the "mods" to his car! :)

I'm thinking of taking my GTR wing off today, so I took the screws out to find its glued to the boot. Should I just leave it and get a crash repairer to do it so he can repaint my boot once he is done? Or just pull it off and see how it looks?

just make sure the grommets sit tight enough so water can't get in at all.

yeah the grommets work well..

if u lazy like me and dont get the holes fixed by a panel beater, they will need to be replaced about once every 9 months cos they perish

wow, i got a nice surprise in the mail today

2 years after a non-insured VL hit my in the rear of my old VT,

i got a cheque for a measily 450 bucks out of the 2g im owed. :(

i called RAA and pretty much said wtf, turns out he is only payin $50 bucks here and there.....

scum bag.

Wing is gone, polished the boot up nicely too. But cannot find any grommets. I went to sprints, super cheap and clarks rubber. No one had the size I need. How am I supposed to cover up these holes? The banana in Japan used some black tape on the old GTS-t holes, maybe I should do the same?

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
