Phew - washing, chamoising, scratch repairing/cutting, polishing, waxing then trim detailing your car is absolutely exhausting in this (even mild) heat. Going to wait until it is a bit cooler to do the inside cleaning/vacuuming then she is ready for a final exterior wet coat Saturday 6am.

Mind you, the 35 is now looking a million bucks :D

I'm gona spend all Friday night giving my car some lurve getting it ready for saturday.

in fact what polish/scratch treatment do you use for the black duco Andrew? Is it a light compound treatment? I don't want anything 'too' heavy duty that is going to removed a few layers lol

f**k that

i intend on fighting these cockmongers

no retreat, no surrender

-D

Dunno if you saw the news tonight but Rannwit has made a backflip and is now willing to talk about this motorsport complex, he just doesn't want it at Gilman he wants it somewhere else

Is that right hand side standing at front of car or right hand side of radiator?

So they bolt into R31 as well??

I need bigger radiator, now with the FMIC installed the water temps have gone from under the 1/4 mark on the gauge to over half way...

lhs standing from front of car (drivers side) /rhs looking at it from the rear of the radiator

snap, beaten to it. sorry bout that shane, shoulda clarified it. I know you can do a 33 rad into a 31, just modifying the way the top mounts are (33 are horizontal, 31 are vertical, literally bend them 90 degrees and snap it fits)

on another small note, i can go buy my winch tomorrow w00t

who can say no more push recoveries for non-running cars?

Yeah ... prob Murray Bridge!

At this point in time, I don't care. I'll travel to Murray Bridge if I have to for a decent motorsport venue. As long as they can cater for competitors, spectators, volunteers and all vehicles with all the proper infrastructure and services, then I'd travel to use it than a run down, derelict venue.

I can imagine many people will complain if its a fair trek to get to it ... but most of them wouldn't use it anyway. They'll find other excuses to hoon about on the public roads. You could stick the venue right in their neighbourhood, and they still won't use it.

If its modern and has decent infrastructure, the serious people will travel for it. Hell, I'm bored with Mallala right about now. My next track day is at Eastern Creek, then Phillip Island not long after. I'll gladly travel for a decent venue.

A mate of mine whose just come back from darwin, says the track days they have up there..kinda like our saturday night drift pracs, cost something like $70, and you go for a blat all day.

If they can do something like this..then yeah, im down...lend me a car someone? :P

damn took so much time in cleaning the wheels but they look at least respectable now.....car is cleaned and looks decent enough for the show.....thanks once again for Matty the towbitch for towing my car again.....cant wait to get back and enjoy a beer with ya mate

now i am so f**king exhausted....time to go and watch some ufc later on

okay........ i've been f**k assing around all week organising tyres on the ninja for the meisters. I assumed 245/40 stretched on a 10" wide rim would be suitable enough to be able to get my car in and out of my driveway without the front guards bring rolled, but NO! Fail... Can't get back up my driveway. 1. I wna slap the cvnt that designed our house 2. I wna slap my car for giving me the sh!ts and no 3. lol

Okay, so now I need to get my front guards rolled, I'll get onto wheelworx about that later unfortunatly its going to be boring-spec stockies for the car show this saturday :( I don't even wna enter now thats how over it I am.

end. f**king. rant. ffs. aids.

Cheers anyway man.

Now I have to wait untill the guard gets changed because when the lady reversed into me, the guard was replaced and the indicator hole wasn't lined up properly *not on the painters side* but they didn't check to see if holes were the same they had just assumed they were being a compliance thing, as you would I spose? And now they're going to replace it again and get the indicator holes parrlelle each side to each other so I have to wait for that :( FML

    • 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.
