Sorry its not a Skyline... but it is faster.

I did listen when you guys told me my GTR was too clean to track, so I had to buy another track car. Its okay, I still have the GTR and although she's a little jealous at the moment, I'm sure she knows how special she is.

Nice one, Michelle!

Now, take out that Holden V6 and drop in a VQ35 with open exhausts!

What was that? Rules for your racing class? What rules? Just tell them it's the new V6 from the VE series... :)

hmmm I just realised... then when you can't come to our track days (cos you're always working!!!!) Georgie can come instead and go back telling you what an awesome time you missed out on :)

BTW, the next hillclimb is on 2nd March, are you working? Are you coming down to Wheels Expo 16th March?

Nick its a Formula Holden/Formula 4000 car, used to Aus main open wheeler class until F3 took over. And they still hold the lap records at almost every Aussie track too.

Michelle is "Hocking" Derek Hocking? If so he still has his race team based up in castle hill next to Hills Motorsports. It would be a good idea to get in touch for any tips unless you have a tame FH guru in your back pocket :)

Hmmm... I'm sure a VR38TT would fit :)

......"What do you mean official? There's nothing wrong here, it's still a V6!"

nice one! very hard core I like it. formula holden is pretty much the fastest class to race in aus so hold onto your hat!

I've been advised to start working on strengthening my neck muscles to deal with the G forces. I'm also told to expect quite a bit of bruising as I am thrown around the cockpit (is it still a cockpit with a lady driver or is it the box office?)

      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.
