nice car, adam sent me the link to it when he was looking for his new one.

please, whatever you do, don't mess up the wheel fitment - that car has potential to look HOT, pm me if you need help making them fit nicely :thumbsup:

Got the report today, some little cosmetic issues need attention- leather on shift knob has peeled away, rear sunroof inop, a couple of scratches.

I just need to get the car so i can decide whether i can just do springs or if i go the whole hog and do coilovers instead. TEIN are on special brand new on flea bay.

Hey GSR600guy, Did you get yours done by ken from stateroads..the inspection? He did a black stagea at Nagoya for me today and when I called he said he was currently doing another one. He seemed to be very harsh on some little things yet oblivious to other's. Had no idea and thought I was a madman when I asked if it was a dayz edition, nor as to why i would be looking in the sunroof for rust. Also, would not believe me that some stageas came stock with tien thus him writing on the report that it wont pass roadworthy in some states.

Be good to know how you felt about his reporting...If that is the same guy haha.

same guy, report seemed fairly good. when i rang him to ask about specific items(like the receptionist advised me) he seemed annoyed. he mentioned some stuff that i wanted to follow up on like a vac switching valve inop, just didn't seem to want to be bothered. that said the report is pretty comprehensive and i'm glad it got done. the photos on car point deliberately didn't show some bad scratches to the kit, the torn leather or the pod filter. overall i'm happy tho.

Yeah i felt the same way. When he answered the phone and I said. His it's Scott i had, you inspect the stagea today. His response was.. yes? So from there i sorta knew it was going to be hand to extract finer detials out of him. But like you said, glad i got the report done. Bit dissapointed in the photos they provided though..poor quality. Though Nagoya told me the car didn't have any rust under the mirrors. Which both sides had very visible bubbling. So he(nagoya) lied there which i wasnt happy about.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
