glass is in today, should be driving on the road on the weekend. Aim to enter the hill climb on the 12th Feb for the start of testing

am trying to chase sponsers though...which isn't easy when you don't have a car to show off.

Ben, I'm guessing that your old man's car is at Pete's in Lonny?

Saw one very very similar there on Monday after TWP while we dropped off a couple of cars for some 'lovin' prior to Rally Tas.

Interesting that he bought the old road car rather than the old race car which is up for sale again.

But it'll be good to have another GT-R on board. Those pesky EMO's are getting far too cocky in EM now.

yeah bought the road car cheap, big John told him a price in the wee hour's of monday moring after TWP!!!, he may of had the Big John eye's on..:whistling:

couldn't afford the 100K for the racer, so got the roady and will in his word's build it the way he want's it over time, but want's to run it at TT this year,

so it's off getting caged at the moment, then off to Pro Automotive for a pre TT overhaul...

while on pissed talk, Big John also offered Greg Garwood the old Lambo, as there's a new one on the way........

Na Dad's car is out at his own workshop. I know the one your talking about though

PJ will be interesting to watch in the GT-R. He wasn't startenly quick in YT's old evo

Some incar from Pelverata where we lost our comms AND had to deal with a dog running on stage (see if you can spot when). Apologies in advance for the crappy audio but the reason should be obvious! And if you're not seeing it from that in car, you should be able to see how hard Matilda was still driving the stage from the commentary at the end ;)

Hey Kel, if you keep yelling like that you will end up with Torana voice, like mine.

That GTR is a GOOD thing! We were lucky enough to use is for recce in TT2007 when we were running the "race GTR", and that roady was a really nice thing :)

I hope it wasn't too cheap,... lol seems I never got Big John drunk enough :)

Reckon I'd like to see your incar of lost comms Benny

JASE!!!!!! I didn't realise you were lurking on here!

I actually said to someone that I was going for your voice with that effort ;)

Got it for very low 30's Woo, bit of a steal i recon!!!

would have bought it myself if i could have got it that cheap...

Geez, a young Mr Benson was trying to sell it to us around midnight for mid $40's! Seems we either hadn't had enough to drink at that stage or aren't in the know?

A pretty good thing though apparently, already has motec and other goodies?

Yeah I remember that one Timmy :)

Low 30's is a steal! Motec'd etc, nice straight car, no hits, genuine low kays. Iwt needs a lot spent to become a race car, but its a nice base!

I'm a little suprised he went for a 34 GTR though, the word was he was very keen on Giant's R35 now it's had a full front to back refresh, with all the later series upgrades etc. fact: I'm so used to seeing PJ in Aussie cars, I'll struggle to understand him coming over to the dark side.

Good for Early Modern though, more entries in it will help, and I see it as a really gaining popularity over the next few years :)

haha, call it margin paul!

have got a pallet of parts arriving for the 34 this week. will be a great car come targa time.

got an email to say my rx-7 finally hit the road for a quick test on friday!

now the question is do we have time to get all the motec gear setup or just put a pfc on it for the boys to run targa tas... either way i'm looking forward to getting it on the track for a quick testing play and woo has sparked my interest in having a run at eastern creek time attack, as i hear twin turbos and e85 can do some half reasonable numbers. steve at just jap has offered up a car to get my eye in on that track prior so no many excuses left!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
