Woo HOO I got my stickers today, and I think he packed in an extra so I got all 3 now :) might go home and wash those parts off and stick them on, as then it'll be sitting at Gav's for a while, might do a bit of advertising for the site :D although I think a lot of the people who go there are from here :D

smooth: too late. Just got back.. I was down there earlier. **** that area is a BROTHEL. I was paranoid about my car getting wiped out by trucks, crazy tradeys and god knows who else. Worst possible street for it, so narrow, no room for parking, etc and you can barely get into the actual workshop car area itself to park. Be very careful if you go down its seriously dangerous.

..but in good news..

NEW SIDESKIRTS!!

Ended up getting blitz ones as they fill the line a lot better and come down low like the front bar. Should look pretty tough onces its all fitted. Ended up being $350 which was a bit more than what I wanted to pay (was expecting $300), but as long as they come up nicely doesn't really matter.

Here is my amazing "artists" rendition.. Bit hard to picture them on though.

not too traffic island friendly though! going to have to watch that :D

thanx :D Photoshopping is kinda my gig.. but not getting me work in that area at the moment.

I am sure they will look much better once painted... i just kind of stuck them there (notice the sticks :)) I'm amped to go and find some panel shops now, just get it all finished and back to "normal". Will do that next few days. Its been some 3 months I've had to drive it along all stuffed up like that.

Going to chase some panel shops up this week. Hopefully book it in next week if I can. So not too long.

Wing stays. In fact once I get it all fixed up, may well be putting it up forsale -- so no point stuffing with it too much.

lol - yeah drifto style - if only the reality was so glamourous.. hence my sig :)

yeah, i know :) but just want something bit cheaper and faster -- and to make it faster would cost me another $5k, as its already maxed out really with the stock turb .. would like to buy a house soon and considering importing a couple of cars b4 the 15 year rule to turn a few quick bux -- if its at all going to be possible before they end it.

Would still be a nissan turbo - just more around $12k than $20k.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
