nah, got the crappy black auto with the RR panel losing paint and sanded back bonnet.

My red manual is a beast with 3 piece wheels and a custom rear wing. Just getting back on the road now to start club racing again but got my roadworthy and the discs are undersize so time for a new set. DBA will cost 1K for all 4 from Autospeed but I'm told by a guy in Epping he can get slots for under $500 (not DBA). I'll post when I find out.

Also got a green soarer and black laser lynx. give us a wave and feel free to stop and chat. :P

OK this is the price update. Slotted fronts ar $220 each, plain rears are $190 for the pair (cause they don't work too hard, even on track) so @ $640 I'm well ahead but I will have to get the heat sensitive paint out and bed them in properly cause I won't get enough driving in before Sandown next weekend. Always worth doing well anyway. The procedure is on the DBA website.

don't cruise. but i go shopping, live and go to uni around mill park - bundoora - greensborough.

LOTS of skylines around this area owned by ex VL drivers with attitude I must say...

Well yeah, what I mean by cruise is does anyone actually drive around this area that owns a Skyline. Bad choice of words I suppose :(

Still see ALOT of commodore drivers getting around here, I suppose this area has always been a tad bogan-ish..

[Edit: Shit, I just realised how old this topic was. Sorry for the post dig guys, just this came up in my search of the "Watsonia".]

    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
    • Looks fancy But after having a look, prior to its installation, I noticed that the yellow looking power steering reservoir would look crap next to this So I have this incoming..... Much cheaper than the Moroso and has great reviews (yeap, it's a Moroso knock off)
    • Can we place bets? My money is on there is always the option to use the 1 way profile. So the diff is either 2 way and 1 way, or 1.5 way or 1 way. 
    • I also used Knox driveshafts when I the slip yoke T56 to the 3bolted TR6060 type. I believe I was one of his first jobs as it literally changed hands when I was there, started by the old owner and finished by the new. Everyone seemed pretty great about it. So wasn't shy/seemed pretty knowledgeable when dealing with weird custom people like me.
