I ran last weekend at the Symmons Plains 60th annaverary meet. Unfortunately after a good run the engine decided to throw a rod.  I've got the engine out but havn't pulled the sump off yet, I suspect

So it’s been over a year since an update. The first event last year was the Poatina Mountain Race, it was pretty much a 7km hill climb with the option for a navigator. I put my girlfriend in the sil

By smooth i mean it doesnt look like it will take a finger off if you touched an edge...but you did just say you have been playing with it for a while....im just wonding the best way to cut and bend it to shape.

i do alot of work with 2mm and 3mm aluminium... i use a bandsaw to cut out most shapes, a die grinder to smooth the edges... than a deburring tool to take the corners off... they are the best things ever!!!

bout $20 and they'll last for ever.

there are double edged ones that do both sides in one go... but they are double the price.

give me 30k and ill have one built in under 6 months.

you realy want the series 2 because thats when you learn from mistakes and have already fixed all the dud ideas.

But bens is a series 2 for me as a lot of RnD of ideas has been done to my car.

funnily enough the targa car i looked after 2 years ago is for sale and its 15K and about half way developed. Bilstines haltech seats cage big brakes light wheels. just needs some of the finer things done.

Are you not better off putting the ECU on the transmission tunnel so it isnt getting kicked?

Any info on the one for sale for 15k?

At 30k i think they still represent decent value, provided its registered. I have alwasy joked with mates that if i had a clue how to i would make a one make R32 GTSt series...It would be a blast! :cool: But half the fun with this sort of car is really the build, doing things, everything just how you like it.

By the time the Nav foot rest is made it shouldn't be an issue, also with the sea so far back it's less likely to be kicked.

I've made sure i've kept paying the rego on mine, cbf putting it over the pits.

The 15k gtst is black, std body kit but with gtr alloy bonnet+grill. R32 GTR rims+brakes. Cage, extingisher, isolation switch..ect. Pretty sure it's got 2 sparco seats and harnesses. 3" exhaust and dump, Haltech E11v2

after having worked on plenty of race cars with electrical dramas you get over trying to bend around roll cages so im putting it all in the one spot.

this was all designed with a specially built foot rest in mind.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
