Man.. I feel like taking my car off the market now lol.

Dude by any chance does your dad wear glasses, slightly balding???

That was an awesome description ^^^ Lol, just that the other day when i was filling up with petrol, this guy started chatting to me telling me i have a very nice car, and how his son who would be about my age has an R33 GTR but has to sell it...

HAHAHA, yep my dad alright. (Comb over to hide balding ftl)

Lol, he drives my car every now and then :)

Its funny when he drives it, he gives it like half throttle and baaaaacks off. "James, this car has some go!"

Hahahahaha yeh that was him, thats awesome lol, small world. I did think of asking him at the time if his sons name was James, but then i was like what are the chances haha. Although if i think about it now its like how many guys are there my age driving an R33 GTR haha.

He was saying how he hell likes driving it lol, to quote: "its very very fast" (school girl giggle)

Thanks for the pics Levi!! spewin' I couldn't come on the whole cruise and get some of those fancy motion shots but my map sensor was playing up.. was painful enough trying to keep up down Roe Hwy :)

Great photos as always :)

Very nicely done!!! :thumbsup:

I wouldnt have been phucked to get out of the car and take photos as everyone went by :P But yours turned out great!

We did a rather interesting speed for the next ~60km (after getting a little lost) and managed to catch up to the group a good 20km outside of Toodyay.

Next cruise we'll try do some more structured/planned driving shots because everybody was too close together so we could only shoot every 3rd or so car.

I'm sure we can assist you in getting some good shots, don't be afraid to ask people to re-park there cars etc so you can get a good group shot, I'm sure everyone will be happy to geet a nice pic of there car :woot:

Thanks, will make more of an effort next time instead of running off and eating lunch elsewhere :woot:

hooray i finally have a driving shot of my ride. thanks a bunch levi, really great photos

+1. Great shot of my "whiteknuckle" driving, thanks heaps Levi. Btw, the fella who's Dad likes his (gotta be sold GTR)should work on the old man to buy it & keep car & son in family? Car for fun, son for detailing?

Great drive with fellow appreciaters btw. Will do it again one day if permitted. (Haven't read the whole thread yet) :banana:

Cheers GW

PS: Detailer in my family gets to "blow dry" the hearse.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
