Wouldn't you rather have the R35 on the top in case it drops? That way it crashes the lotus :D

;) Hoist locks in on all 4 posts every 6" or so....so when working on a Car or storing I lock in all for

posts ...................................very safe...... :happy:

MD ... with very long hours.

Dont make it out to be hard...this guy showed us years ago what you have to do in your line of work

LOL, i crack me up ;) Nice car, in July i sat in the Nurburgring carpark just staring at a black 997 GT2 like a total retard for about 5 minutes...the owner then came and moved his car, i think to just get it away from me :D His had the monkey car option and the attractive GF option ticked too :happy:

Nice solution! Did you need to reinforce the foundation footings prior to installing the lift? What brand of lift is that?

Supplier installed it for me and told me that this 4 post model did not require securing to the floor but can if so desired.....

I never Dyna bolted it down and it is very secure (heavy duty gauge metal and all powder coated.....)

Comes in 3 phase or just normal......

Also provided are heavy duty removable casters so one can swing the whole hoist around the garage/shed......

Top quality product....paid about 4k

PS: I have no connection with any Hoist suppliers ......

haha forget the Porka, what a cool idea for a backyard:)... I bet you replace your divots or get in trouble with the Mrs hehe

I see GT2/3 all the time round here but still haven't seen a 35 on the road... not enough people with taste I assume;)... and they're all driven by old blokes who have too high a blood pressure to drive them like intended

damn now whenever I see a Porka driver I'm going to wonder if they have a golf hole in their backyard...

GT2 is absolutely magnificent!, I love it, excellent!....but it's a totally different car to R35.

R35 is more like the 911 Turbo, an all-weather, everyday supercar with mod-cons and practicality that you can put in 'D 'and go to the shops in.

The GT2 is much more track focused, rear drive only, 2 seats only and dry weather only. Makes a great deal of sense as a 2nd hand purchase too where in a short time $100-150K comes off the $450k RRP when new (same goes for the Turbo). There is no questioning Porsche engineering & quality, just outstanding....but that said the GT-R comes awfully close and for rather alot less... Obviously the ultimate scenario is being able to afford both!

Obviously the ultimate scenario is being able to afford both!

i was just discussing this with a guy at work.. and we came up with the obvious question of what do you do if you can actually afford to buy and maintain both??

like the old lexus saying... "if you can afford to buy a lexus... you dont buy a lexus."

Any chance of a closeup pic (or 2) of the gearstick please? :down:

I love the feel of the 997 GT3 alcantara/suede, and I had assumed the GT2 would have the same material....but it doesnt look like it?

You've also made it pretty clear I need to change roles, i'm national sales manager, MD is clearly where a revhead needs to be :D

What does it feel like to drive? Have you taken it through any twisty roads yet?

Thanks very much Mark, that actually looks 10 times better than the GT3 one up close.

Nice to see one being modified, and so young!

Dont be afraid to keep us all updated on the GT2, its not a skyline but its still damn fast and everyone here can appreciate a car like that, even if its not a new age datsun

Thanks again!

Sorry guys, was planning to pick up a R35, but got distracted & purchased a GT2. RS Tuning package should arrive soon. Hopefully an R35 some day soon.

lol why are you saying sorry for? The GT2 is a much better car. I was looking at an R35 but i couldn't bring myself to spend that amount of money on something that the average person doesn't know what it is, although I am still in love with the R35 because of its performance factor.

You feel more acomplished in a Porsche than a Datsun lol. I'm still young so if the good times stop flowing or i make bad mistakes in the future, atleast I didn't spend too much on a car and can hopefully dig my way out of any financial problems lol.

I'm still happy with my choice, but i guess i can get a veyron if i sell my block of units..... but then i'll have to live in the car lol

    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
    • Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee   
    • I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
