Will do bud. So tragic. He used to race bikes when he was younger and was an awesome rider. Just goes to show no matter how good you are, shit can go wrong. Atleast he went out of this world doing his favourite thing

yeh - road conditions can change in a moment; never had an off because I was trying so hard not to, yet went fast head down bum up

but cant control the beast at top speed properly now with the knees, Ive had my time and now its time for track based work.

hence the stripping of a r32 rb26dett sedan...

picked this up today for $5

If u need a house built my dads the guy to visit hehe but when it comes to cars and painting them, he looked at the bumper i bought one of the nismo/altia r34 and he goes thats exactly the same as what you have now u didnt u realise when you were getting it its the same (gives me the where did i go wrong with my son look) :)

Steve any idea of how much paint i would need and how much it would cost just the stock silver colour?

Autobarn is too expensive, supercheap export cans is where its at :)

Incase anyone was interested... here's the full story.

couldnt imagine how his riding mates feel either, specially seeing it happen.

condolences again champ.

Thats happened to me before! As a temporary fix I just wedge something metal inbetween the large clamp and the small terminal - metal screw, thick strip of metal rolled around the clamp etc.

role start??

i keep the role playing in the bedroom :P

wouldnt work, would have to push my car up hill, or roll start in reverse into oncoming traffic

yeah i thought about doing that, but i didnt want to mess up the battery. i called another mate and promised him subway in return for a lift, got one with the right terminals on it now :D

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
