Wow, what a journey!  She looks nice after the paint job, nice and white again!  I'm sure it will be pretty amazing to see it roll out of the container back in Oz!

What took you to Georgia in the first place?  Not a country I know a lot about really.

 

it was SAU's fault,  when I was posting flat out here tuning skylines a guy called Guricha got me to remote tune his cars in Georgia and it all just took off from there.

Yes she looks really nice,  it needs some work like a engine strip down and check and running gear etc but that should not be too hard.

Such a cool thread and great to see this update, congrats on the car.

I spent much of 2021 (while our country lost the plot with lockdowns) living in Tbilisi and I thought of and re-read this.  Georgia is my favourite country, I love almost everything about it, I can't wait to get back.

Hey mate!  Yes I agree it is great,  especially when you know alot of people there,  did you ever go to Mclarens Irish pub there?  I spent lots of time there it is great.

I love Tbilisi in the winter,  its just amazing when it snows.

 

I picked up the car yesterday and it is now sitting in my workshop,  I have not been able to raise a spanner to it because I just keep pacing around it in disbelief that it is actually here in my workshop.

We didn’t unfortunately, we spent a fair bit of time in old town, but lived in Vake so did most of our drinking around there 😂

Shame we left in November before it got too cold, I heard a lot of people say how beautiful it is around Christmas. 
 

Glad to hear you got the car safely!

When i went there in dec 2019 i stayed in Guram's spare unit he had at the time in Vake,  great spot in the city there!

 

I let fireworks off the balcony for NYE on 13th floor haha

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
