how da funk did it get up there?

crane?

Forklift is a must in large garages... :P

As you can see, we also have a Triumph TR7 on the "shelf" on the opposite side of the garage as you can see in one of the pictures...

7.5 for sure, 6m is tight/short. The shed at our last house was 6m and was always a struggle. This time with the extra 1.5m the differance is huge, nice big bench and heaps of room all round the racecar.

Ther is a heap of gear in there now. There is a 39 Chev and a sill80 packed tight in the corner where there are no rollerdoors and my trimming bench finishes off that half. The skyline is at the other end and an EH that is getting retrimmed in the middle bay. witt have to tacke a pic if i remember tonight.

The bigger the shed the bigger the mess, thats my theory anyway :)

Then again my neighbour has 2 double garages (1 either side of his house) for his 3 cars but then decided that wasn't enough room so built another double garage in his backyard as his dedicated workshop for his 67 Camaro.

I on the other hand have a completely car-less double garage just waiting for my new project to arrive :banana:

The car is worked on and stored here in the old mans back shed.

But whenever various bespoke parts and ideas need to be fabricated/machined/designed we go here......the other workshop!

love what you guys are doing in that shed, your car is a monster.

but it cracks me up that no matter how big the shed is some stuff still has to live outside (engine hoist, parts washer, rear end and whatever is under the tarps lol). great spot for the spare boot too

I'm hoping fabrication is your business, because there is an amazing amount of expensive machinery in the other shed. I can't get over how much fab work goes into a race car, even a touring car. We spent all day today working on the rear subframe - cutting, welding, measuring, checking etc etc it takes sooooo much time.

in the toilets dude

lol. funny you should say that. about a year ago or so I went into a car audio installer/auto worshop. I had to use the can and when I went in there above the toilet was a huge stack of vintage 70s and 80s hard core (and I mean hard core) porno! haha. cracked me up. needless to say I didn't come out for about 40 mins afterwhich my mate came looking to see if I had fallen in. :ninja:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
