Got the DVD yesterday; short but sweet show & tell of "satanic" put a very big smile on my face.

Thanks for the kind words, the time & the effort!

And thanks to Terry for sending me the PM; I got the DVD the same day and let's just say it's made my birthday this year that little bit more special ;)

I liked how Andrew quoted the phrase, "...on the strength of Skylines Australia Forum..." :laugh:

And now the 'PERFORMANCE IMPORTS' Mag Issue #113 'Best Of The Best' has made its appearance as of yesterday.

6 pages about the 10th Anniv. Celebration pp 74-79

5 pages displaying pics 'n praise on Bakes' black beauty and also a major gong winner at the 10th Anniv. pp 52-56

mxfly's (Eugene's) vision has come to fruition :(

It certainly has, Terry! Good article by Nick (Black Widow), great photos, and good turnout made the R34's "10th anniversary" article a good read.

Bakes' car is just gorgeous, full stop!

Hey guys

Just bought the new HPI magazine, theyve got this event covered really well. Worth the buy - also includes 100 of the best imports!

Enjoy!

Yuka-san, Shanil, didn't even know till to-day that "PERFORMANCE IMPORTS #113" with her Mt Wilson pic in it, is out in the stands.

She's off to the newsagent now to get it. She's still getting over her trip back from Japan.

And she hasn't had a chance to see MOTIVE DVD #3 yet either. Good on her, for coming to the event with her 1 month old baby!

That's dedication - even tho' she used to be employed by WORK WHEELS JAPAN at one stage and is interested in GT-Rs. :blush:

Yeah I saw her in the magazine! I would definitely need to think twice about taking out a four week old child to an event like that, so it does show her passion and love for the car!!!

I sure do hope this gets put back into the active view.

Everyone needs to go to Speedhunters as the article i wrote (along with Xmetals photos) have been featured!

Enjoy!

Thanks Bobby!

Thought i'd update with a more appropriate link:

Speedhunters

Nice one mate. Love the choice of photos too :P

but I'm beginning to think I should change my number plate; 1983 doesn't make me sound that young any more!

Thanks Nick - That article of yours is more than 'gloss goss'; with quite of a bit of thought put into it!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
