can anyone guess what it is?

nice guy saw me snapping pics and came out from having lunch in his dads hotel and popped the bonnet for me.

more pics if interest is expressed and big prize to first one who states the obvious and works out what it is..

pretty unusual over here, the only real tuners you see are a couple of beat up Hondas lightened and covered in stickers. So even hidden under a tarp this caught my eye..

It IS a Celica. The A pillar and wing mirror give it away..

and the last two posts have it!

he got it done in thailand by a pretty serious tuner there, he didnt know what boost he was running or even what kind of engine was in it. The 17yr old owner just grinned and said 'fast'.

The roads are bad here but late at night pretty empty so might be worth the fun factor as long as you can afford to replace the shocks every 2 weeks..

haha i thought someone would shoot me down for sounding misogynist but then i remembered which forum i was on ;)

Its almost too easy here though girls wise, im in for a very harsh reality check when i get home..

as for gauges, i believe its become some kind of status symbol here, i have seen Camry's with them and just about everything on four wheels has giant plastic spoilers, blue/purple/red flashing leds on mirrors/bonnets/grilles and of course a family of soft snoopy/hello kittys on the dash.

Its like sussex st sydney X eleventy bazillion.

pfft. as compensation, you may send the young lady in pic 1 over my way. i might decide to let this slide if you do :blink:

ah sorry about that basti, saw your post earlier but the fifty cent beers had taken their toll by the time I replied and thats the best i can do by way of explanation. As for compensation, her name is Dahli and if you can wing your way over here with fifty bucks in your wallet (plus 14 for a room in a 3 star hotel, mines called the Walkabout and does aussie breakfasts) I will give you her number :(

ps. the pineapples for her not me, and thats all night knocking back cocktails, hitting the dance floor and then whatever the hell else you want..

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
