you would think atleast he would have a shave

The poor bastard probably hasn't had time for a shave i would say some one has been keeping him busy building their car for them while they supervise whilst sipping bourbons :banana:

looks good mate. it will be even better now that Beer Baron super express racing parts has got you those mines front rotors. :) cracked rotor in an R35 going hard would not end pretty....

Man you are going to have a ball in it now. all the little changes like the moveable paddles, the wheel, the seat and harness will make a huge difference to the feel of the thing.

I also spy you with some maccas in the first pic. food of champions! hehe.

I was just remembering back to when I picked this car up from the docks in sydney. brand spanking new, plastic on everything, 100kms on the clock.... look at it now! thoroughly abused!! holes in it everywhere, caged, stripped, seats, steering wheel, exhaust... but it's been set free from a life of posing at coffee shops and fancy hotels. we both know it's much more at home out in the boonies at some race track belting out some laps. you've set it free mate. haha.

my mate justin who was there when it arrived in sydney all those months ago saw the pics of it last night and he nearly didn't beleive me it was the same car!! poor fella was beside himself as it's by far the nicest car he's been in. he can't understand how we can do things like this to perfectly good forms of transport.

now go and kick some arse in tassie. :thumbsup: and most importantly have some fun. but if you can get a result it would be nice mate as at least then mark will stop lauging at you. I can even see him laughing at your car in the last pic. gold!

I see Drew and Georgie have entered this event as well. They are the ultimate quiet acheivers in that little R32 GTR of theirs. Their car is pretty much what I'm basing mine on as far as set-up goes. It's a sweet little ride.

Into Burnie mate............

Fantastic, I'll keep an eye out for it on Wednesday.

If he (or any Skyline pilot for that matter!) needs to use a hoist at all while he's here give me a yell, I'm right in the middle of town.

Do you know if we're allowed to transport fuel drums on the Burnie ship? wanting to bring mainland BP 98 over in the ute......

What's wrong with our BP98? :) Don't know, best bet is to give TOLL Shipping a call.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
