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.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
