Well, Ive driven the R32 2 nights this week. The first night it got vandalised, and tonight I hit a stupid animal and snapped the drivers side mount on my front bumper, so its sticking out from the guard :blush:

anyway, Wayne, here is my old daily. 1989 Mazda 626.

If you missed the intercooler hiding behind the front bumper, and the 95db exhaust, you'd also miss that it had more power than some of the Skylines on this forum :P . Shoulda kept it, would have made an awesome track hack

I notice that car has a Black & White Cat.

Sooo glad its friday! bin a busy week! tires are going on tomorrow so wheels will be back on :D

i hear that lewis......we had the network down for the last 2 weeks....been so damn frustrating lol

seems my friday is going extra slow today. Alot of driving, and not enough work. Trying to find a present for my 2yo Niece, organise a car trailer to move the drift car tomorrow, and organise some new private health insurance.

is it beer o'clock yet?

Sooooooooooooo how is everyones Friday?

Crap and Boring...Slow also, hardly any customers, there is only so many times you can walk round the store looking for things to do, luckily we have a PC with a TV Tuner in it, so i am watching the Olympics.

Does anyone know when the Drifting is on? As last week, i swear i saw some on around 4pm, just cant remember which day it was or what channel - Hardly watch TV, mostly download episode off the net.

^ we used to go to the dog and duck for beers straight after work - i still pop in every now and then for a pint. Theyve got a good selection of beers Wouldnt bother hanging there any later than 8pm though

Richmond upstairs Friday after work sessions ftw!

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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
