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!

    • Scenic roads, stunning skylines, and Chickos to finish it off! Join SAU NSW as we cruise through the Royal National Park and along Lawrence Hargrave Drive to Figtree! Sunday 26th October 2025 4:30PM Meeting Waterfall Station Parking 5:00PM Cruise Departure Royal National Park > Lawrence Hargrave Dr > Memorial Dr > Sid Parrish Park 6:15PM Arrival at Sid Parrish Park Figtree Meet Location: Waterfall Station Parking Final Destination: Sid Parrish Park RSVP: https://forms.gle/E4s5SiRKQfDdypky8 *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
