Normally I would consider putting mine in the display but unfortunately no one can guarantee me that peeps wont lean on it or rub past it with their handbags, etc.

I'd hate to take it back home full of sctratches & small dents and nothing to show for it.

ah sorry about the confusion, not sure how i got u 2 mixed up. yeh understandable, but chains and other things will never stop people from getting close, the only thing i could recommend is maybe putting a piece of paper on the windshield asking people to respect ur car and to not get too close. although tbh, i went to a show down at wiglet reserve not too long ago with the Ford GT's, some worth up to $700,000 and they were not using any barriers etc and didnt seem to have any issues so i dont beleive you should really have to worry.

we would love to see the GTR down there, it would be a great addition to the day.

Yeah good point, a sign on the front and back windows may keep adults away but some parents don't know how to control their kids who can run an absolute muck without chains around the cars.

I've had a kid bang his Tonka Truck on the back fender of my bike during Bike Week on the Gold Coast last year, and parents didn't even bat an eyelid. :P What do ya reckon I wanted to do to the kid and his old man? ;)

some important info for those worried about the details:

For those of you worried about giving out your home details on the site, just leave it blank - we should be able to do everything via email/mobile phones anyway.

There are only 5 people who have access to your details - me, Morris850, Mr 1JZ, BillyE and Eyecandy. The information you send will not be sent anywhere else - all that will happen is that we will store it ready to contact you for AJD 2009.

I just put my entry in.

make sure that you write something in those fields (I wrote BLANK in there) otherwise it'll take you back to a blank entry form and you will have to fill it all out again.

Hi guys, entries have now passed 65, so we're moving along nicely. Target 200!

Some very cool cars entered already, although my best efforts to buy a KGC10 to have here by the time the event rolled around have been thwarted, much to my dismay.

I'm getting all your entries, even though you may not get a confirmation on the site - will start replying later on in the week.

Dammit! I'm getting one at the end of the year to be different... please tell me you arent getting a silver one with super deep dish watanabe's aswell :P

Has the entry for my DR30 worked or not, I couldnt get any confirmation from the form when I sent it, its a white/black one with gold watanbe's.

^^Got it! I bid on a dark blue KGC10 over the weekend, if anyone saw it on Yahoo. Prices are mad though - 2.25 million it went for, that's just for a replica. You just don't see them at auction like you used to. First option is gold, and yes must have 15 x eleventybillion Watanabes and flared guards...

sweet.... I think saw that one not too long ago :P very mean machine... goodluck with getting it

when it gets here, if you have a public un-veiling I would be keen for a perve much more exciting to look at then that R35 :down:

car will start being stripped down, sanded, bogged, flared and ready for a spray soon. being defected kind of helped this process a long by getting it off the road so i can do this stuff. hopefully its been through regency by the time, if not i might have to grab a permit for the day.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
