Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Just Jap or ISC. Support the traders that support the forum that supports you.

the trust one that ISC sells will handle just about anything you can throw at it

k, under SLEDs instructions im taking it to the wasteland.

So much talk about "why the older members aren't around much anymore" Anyone want to elaborate on that? The SA page is just a minute representation of SAU itself, i dont see how new members have forced them away. I can bet they were new members once too, and probably tried just as hard to fit around the place. And Deluxe mentioned ass sucking, how so?

Geez, just imagine what it would be like around here if everyone got along... We might even have a real club.

end of rant.

yeah don't know Damo.....also don't know why Deluxe is so pissed off. The few times he's been on lately has been to post something negative if I recall.

If my memory serves me correctly, it was actually an older member that upset him over the whole Auto Salon fiasco that he kept dissing........haven't heard alot since then.......shame really cause I got on OK with the guy.

:blink: wouldnt say i was "so pissed off" there Pete, and as for the few times i HAVE been on here, was once to give my yearly abuse to the ricealon guys(Hi Martin :/ ), advertise my old car and well.......now!!

And as for being "upset" with a older member, i disagre, he was the only one who bit back when i continued, it was more so the people(organisers) who couldnt see what i AND Dan(sinista) were on about regarding the first one show "SAU" entered.

That was all a long progression for me to loose interest in cars and this particular forum, Im fair over cars these day for the exception of motorsport, to where i am quite involved with two mates who race. And as for this forum i saw it in its best interest for me and others to not continue to post here any longer, hence my ghost like appearance.

There are a few people here i still chat to every now and then, which is great to hear their progressions with their cars, So next time i see you on your bike i'll be sure come say hi!!

p.s. Damo, Im sure you'll understand what i mean when the time comes to it!! If not dont loose sleep!!

Must admit, the mood has changed on here over the years...

Always the post whores who hang around a year or so, then dissapear (myself kind of included hehe) but everyone won't always be "hunky dory" with each other.

One day I may even get my Liberty out to an SAU meet - or is the "skylines only" mentality still a little prominent at the moment with the "family"?

yes I'm being shit_stirrer_thmb.jpg:blink:

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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 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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      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.
