wtf... why do cnc'd titanium parts have oxidisation marks on them? that's full homo spec.

titanium + heat = oxidisation = pretty colours

titanium + electricity = electrolysis = pretty colours

titanium + cnc machine = mirror surface in a uniform colour

in fact to make a cnc'd titanium surface go magenta/green you have to etch the surface or subject it to extreme heat, which actually distresses the material and makes it weaker. This happens naturally near welds and shit, but on a machined washer and bolt? GTFO.

Morning.

Got pulled over by the cops last night. They went over my Supra looking for a turbo, did a drug test etc.

Had me there for 15 minutes and then let me go..... without realising that I was driving manual on an auto license :P

No shit man. $117 fine. I'd have to file for bankruptcy :P

And Justin, I was.. but now I'm way too busy. I think I'll stick out the remaining 8 months.

yeah I doubt they'd ever pick you up on that. worst case scenario move your gear shift from 3rd to 5th only, so it lookes like you're goin from park to drive :P

yeah I'm leaning towards light blue too... it'll be a flat blue though, not metallic like that sample

eighter chrome on ultramarine blue:

or go full chrome on traffic blue:

gold on traffic blue:

liking the light blue though:

Ultramarine Blue and Traffic Blue looks quite similar and both look good.

I see you are going for the Blue car / Gold wheel or Blue car / Silver wheel look.

Either way they both looks good, but gold looks kinda "showy"...

I wanna see you "EPIC" fitment with this!

:P

Very tragic...

One of the reasons I am such a hard ass about being careful on the roads, especially on cruises.

:O

i hate the media for what they said about this accident, they are always full of shit, making up there own stories. :(

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • 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
