Anyone else turn up to the last minute meet today? When I got there it was just me and an SS Commodore who went through two red lights to get there. I didn't want to be seen around that kind of behaviour so I left after he issued me with a minor defect notice.

Defected. No fine or NOU, just need to drop in on the pits for an inspection when I get the items changed. Cop was pretty fair/nice about it all and he could have got me on a few other things, but the targeting / chase down and subsequent blocking of one lane on a major highway to do so was pretty ridiculous given I was driving more sedately than anyone around me. The surrounding traffic must have thought it was a stolen car or something.

Saw a white R33 pass me while I was on the side of the road, anyone from here?

HIDs. Yeah minor, but fark, aside from inconveniencing me half an hour I gotta change the item and then find the time to go to Vicroads. I'd sooner have paid a fine for speeding and not have my time wasted doing all that. No reason for being pulled over other than it being a Skyline. Story of the import driver's life.

over 24 hours and no moron has come in here and told adam he is over reacting and that skylines dont get picked on... weird...

Usually people who have never been pulled over when they were doing the speed limit, by a cop who did a U turn or ran a red light (or two) to do so :cool:

Paraphrased quote from someone on here who got defected by the same car as me on the same day and contacted me in regard to it: "they said every Skyline they pulled over today expressed that they are car enthusiasts and not hoons." Whether that's in a good or bad sense, fact remains they were pulling over Skylines left, right and centre for the sake of it. I'm not whinging about it because I knew when I bought the car that it had this kind of stigma about it - but yes, anyone who denies Skylines get targeted is kidding themselves lol.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
