yeah tried the rims on yesterday, i was getting them off a mate, there nice rims but they r not the right offset so they have a custom spacer to fit 114.3. they stuck out about 1.5 inches further than my already serioulsy flared guards but the spacer worried me a bit so my mate took them back

so im back on the hunt for rims still.

Buy the proper offset and size new. Don't stuff around with wheels that were clearly NEVER going to fit the car properly.

Work out your plan with the car before buying the wheels then do it properly once.

yeah man

i didnt realise that by spacers he meant they were a different pcd i thought they just needed room to clear the struts.

all good now didnt get them, with the power it will have it would warp the spacer for sure, dont really want that happening mid track now lol.

im gonna leave the rims for now, gonna finish the engine, chassis and get it repainted before i go and buy another set of rims. i wanna run micket thompson street drag tyres so ill probably find some 16inch rims for them but ill work it out later with the sabadin boys and go from there

Saw your 34 today at Sabbadin, paint looks great!

I reckon Advan Tri-spokes would look the bomb on it!

Any idea when the motor will be done?

hahaha

yeah they r sexy rims mate i really love them and have always wanted a set but i dont know if they will be wide enough thats all.

maybe if u sweetened up the deal a lil lol hahah

whats ur car doing at sabadins dude?

the paint looks best under street lights u can actually see all the pearls thru it and its pretty dirty/dusty at sabadins

motor will be done maybe in a couple of months, the bottome end is off to the machine shop this week to get all machined and assembled then. rob will get my engine out and then its back to vu's to do the engine bay and door jams etc.

i actually really need to get down there to keep going with the interior lol

Edited by GUN_METAL_GTR32

Mine is there for turbo swap + clutch + 100k service. (Broken turbo so ma as well do clutch and 100k service while I'm at it).

PM me how much you're prepared to pay for the Advan tri-spokes and we'll go from there.

like i said in my pm i have to wait till my rims sell before i commit a offer to some one else so im not gonna waste ur time.

have a fair kents that want my rims and brides in the f/s section so well see maybe both of us will sell and buy some cool shit soon lol

speak soon mate.

ill probs see ur car at sabadins this week when i go down there

lil progress

i got my car brought home yesterday so i could continue to do more work on the interior.

its a bit difficult getting from templestowe to clayton to do stuff on the car with no licence, so this weekend ill be ripping out the cage and the 2 brides. brides are going and ill be replacing them with sparco fixed backs or bride zeta 3, i have a set of sparco evo's at home but they are a lil snug for my manly/overweight frame. i want seats that are fia approved and also the cage is going coz im going the full cage, with carbon side intrusion bars :miner:

the rb30 block is also at the machinists atm so it will be there for a lil while, whilst all this is happening ill be getting more body work done. when the cage is being done the engine bay, cabin and the boot will all be seam/stitch welded (possibly around the doors as well) and vu from dt panels will be fitting my new body kits whis will one day get here from the states.

it comprises of some seriously awesome shit haha

- carbon bonnet

- carbon boot

- carbon side skirts z tune style

- carbon rear pods z tune style

- carbon z tune front guards

- carbon front bumper

- carbon bolt on 60mm rear flares :D

- carbon front splitter with 2 billet rods

- carbon front caards

- carbon radiator air guide

i think having the 2 tone effect of white to black is gonna be f**king awesome

im sending my headlights off to headlights plus to get polished.

ive also decided to keep the stereo in the car as well but ill move the amps to under rear seat passenger footwells seeing as u cant sit there anyway. also retrimming the rear seats in the same fabric as the drivers and passenger seats.

hay buddy

i havnt spoken to rob in a couple of weeks coz i have had work commitments but yeah i think everything is progressing steadily.

the car is at my house atm so i can do some of my own stuff on the interior and re wire up the stereo.

    • 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.
