I was trying very hard to keep my stuff-up a secret,,,like very in house,,, but seems thats dreaming.

Basically I stuffed up,,,went in to quickly and she woudn't turn, i was trying to catch a v6 supercharged commodore in my class and f**ked up.

Yes I have pics and vids,,,just no time for that malarcky,,, i have spend the last 2 weeks stripping her and putting her back together,,,12.30 nights every night, I'm rooted to say the least.

Cheryl Lives on,,,thanks to all the help from the following great people,,,in no particular order,,,i love you all

Pete and Jenna,,,thanks for all the parts,,,what would I have ever done without your help guys. THANK YOU

Duncan and Matty for all the helping put her back together,,,thanks both of you for all your time and effort,,,very much appreciated.

Mathew at Race Brakes Sydney for helping me out with new Discs and Pads,,thanks as always mate,.

So tomorrow a wheel alignment and get the front bar painted and she's good to go.

Cheers

Neil.

Seems some one was videoing Cheryl as well. At least she sounds great.

If the wheel alignment comes back bad and I can't take her to the SAU nats,,,I have a backup plan. I've been offered a drive of a very modified clubman.

Cheers

Neil.

I've been into (or up actually) that bank as well mate. Probably 10 yrs or more ago.

Mt Cotton is a difficult place to come to and try to go real hard first time you've ever been there. It caught out alot of very experienced hillclimbers that weekend, so you're in good company.

Good to hear it's pretty much ready to go again :)

Yep on the money there Harry,,very technical track to get used to,,,I'm usually pretty good at working out where I can go quicker and I had lots of help from an old mate from up there. Seems I picked the wrong spot to go in deeper. Bit shocked at the carnage that happened,,,lots of open wheelers crashed which is very unusual.

Ben there were a number of times going down the 1st loop that I and many others had the old shvinkter tightening up.

Time to start packing for Adelaide,,,wheel alignment is great.

Heres my in car,,,everyone loves a stack.

actually it drives beautifully and very predictably, and has done more motorsport in the last 3 years than any other SAU car I can think of. I'd have it in a second over most cars around the forums.

Cheryl had a date with Yavus of Unigroup Engineering fame on Saturday and I believe she has fallen head over heals in love with him. After playing with her bits,,,I approved of cause and she now has 242kw's coming out of her rear end. I did ask if we could maybe lower her enthusiasm down a bit, but no was the answer.She does have a great rear end by the way.

That's using stock injectors,power fc, 040 pump, plasmaman inlet manifold,Z32 afm, FMIC and a Turbosmart boost controller.

We both left there very happy and I've entered her in next weekends VW Supersprint at Wakefield Park.

My only hope is I don't have to keep emptying her colostomy bag after every session.

Cheers

Neil

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
