Was I on that drive to dinner??? If so, it was a great drive!!!

And Changi, you don't know me and I can only derive from your posts that any mention by Bunta of your "GTR attitude" is pretty much on the mark. I would put Noel's GTS-T up against most GTR's on this forum in any style of motorsport. He has built a vehicle for all purposes, not just posing.

Flame away!!

confusing post Rhinorebel. you write that you don't know me; and then, in the same sentence, you say I have a "GTR attitude". c'mon lift your game!. I like all machinery, I'd love to see Noel's car, ask him questions etc, sounds like he has done a fine build. that's where the meets at BWCP were beneficial; it gave people who don't go to the track/strip to learn and get 'ideas' from experienced people. my point regarding the GTST was that they are not a track/drag car in standard form [nor is a GTR]. modifications, sometimes few, often many, are required and are usually made.

the only attitude I display here is dismay at people who put crap on this forum, especially those who have thousands of posts to their name. now that's "hypocracy".

any other suggestions on 'where to now' re BWCP?.

hi NismoKnight,

don't know the parks you mentioned in the Burliegh area but Mudgeeraba sounds good; close to M1. "if" we were left alone, I reckon Harbourtown would be ideal. plenty of spaces, lights, directly off Brisbane road and easy access back to M1/Brizzy; or continue on south to Surfer's etc. there's a big "if" there though!!. maybe we could have a trial meet there and another at Mudgee, see how they go. see what others think. Brizzy drivers might want a more central meeting place.

thanks for that, we might be getting somewhere with this.

yep, I stuffed that one up; lions..1, christians...nil!!.

you now know that you have given me free licence to check 'all' you posts for spelling errors henceforth!!.

I know from your posts that you are more into the track/strip scene than carpark meetups, but from other posters' I get the feeling that your car, and what you done to it is pretty cool, this is what a lot of people who attend carpark meetups come to see, enjoy and to learn from; there has to be value in that!!.

back to school for me!.

Who the hell are you??? You have been a forum member since late 2003 and yet you have only minimal posts???

You really contribute to the scene don't you!!!

Put up or shut up. I have been part of the Club for 4 years now and have been on the Executive working hard so that 'tards like you have something to whinge about when we give up our free time to organise cruises, track days, dinners, etc.

This forum is about information and making friends of like-minded individuals. You contradict yourself every other post and yet you still flame with the best of them. Anyone can own a Skyline of any type and be proud of their vehicle.

As I said, I don't know you, and if you have been around the Queensland Skyline scene for that long and I haven't heard of, let alone met you, you have little or no credibility to bust our chops about anything.

yep, I stuffed that one up; lions..1, christians...nil!!.

Ar yu steel hear. :)

And i thought we were one happy Skyline family LOL :P:D;):)

we are; this is just healthy, robust debate happening here. the odd personal 'dig' [given and taken] is good for the soul!!. I hope it is, otherwise some of our souls are indeep crap!!.l

seeing it in a car park is marginally educational.......seeing it drive is another thing all together :)

hi,

this is my ewang

]-----

its normal size atm.

we get it you bought your cars cause they are fast.. and good for M1 sprints. but want to see what its really got and meet people (perhaps even meat), then go for a track run, you dont have to flog the mutha farken bearings out it it to have fun, so stop bitchin about breaking stuff if you go for a track day. I can tell you it is a hell of a lot more fun then car park meets. I dont mind meeting at carparks, but not for anything else cept food and drink.

if you bought it as a daily fair enough, you can still have fun without it breaking. and without pissing the cops off. if thats what your worried about as well.

but i vote...for a nice big grass spot on where you can look at them.

seeing the car up close and talking to the driver and/or builder in person is what many want to do. why do you think the 'pits' are so popular at race meets?. most people don't have [and will never have, no matter how much practice] the skill to race, that doesn't mean they shouldn't get involved in some way. involvement can be at race meetings, or go to car club or 'all in' car meetings, such as what used to occurr at BWCP. building and driving highly modified cars is for the few, many more will not be able go beyond a a few basic mods, but all enthusiasts get enjoyment from being around cars. some are dreamers, but who cares if they are doing their thing!. got to start somewhere.

not sure if you are interested, but if so, do you have any more suggestions for possible meet-up locations. Mr Fineline suggested my back yard but my kids refused to move their swings, so that is out!!

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
