This just in; got my first irate phone call from my mate :banana: . Apparently imports ARE expensive to repair. After an extensive chat; I politely asked that he refer any further correspondence to Shannons.

He then (stupidly) asked "Why? What are you gonna do if I don't?"

Guess whos getting 10 pizza's tonight?

At 11pm...:ph34r:

And every night this week.

GAME ON, SYMOND.

*Grabs Popcorn and waits for updates*

Feel free to PM if you'd like a phone number, for when you're bored/drunk/lonely.

At 3am.

Symond seems to REALLY enjoy a chat.

1800 reverse is your friend.

Feel free to PM his details (phone, car details etc)

Any update/outcome on this Dale...?:whistling:

It has suddenly dawned on me how annoying it is living in a road with a CBR250RR rider. I don't mind bikes, but that has to be one of the most annoying noises to hear everyday- there is nothing funny about having to go up a street at 10,000rpm slowly.

How rude of me not to update.:spank:

I sent him a serve of Domino's finest at 10pm last friday, cos I still had the shits; 5 ham & pineapple, 5 cheese (didn't want him to enjoy them too much). And one of my mates is a bit of a late night drunken dialler, so I gave him the number, after 2 calls a night for 4 days; he reckons he's not answering anymore...

I'm not ready to give up on you yet Symond, I still have so much love to give!

Also, there's another 6 pizza shops in your area that I haven't used yet...

That's great that you suffered no damage. So the big guards just take the hit without matking? That's impressive.

It's been said before, but why have so many regulars on here had incidents since this thread was started? I think it should be banned.

BTW, for damage that was hard to pick from a distance, the quotes for my repairs were just over $1700. I hope to get it fixed soon.

Jebus, you were only talking about this the other day!

I think we should put this thread to bed, it IS causing bad luck to befall Stageas!

For this next episode we need a bit of background. And you may need some popcorn.

In dec 09, I was royally f##ked by a removalist who didn't turn up on the day I was due to move out of my house. I was in all manner of shit as the new owner was moving in only a day later. Arsehole mover didn't show up at the agreed time and was uncontactable for 4 hours, then spun all sorts of BS about why he was running late, his offsider was sick, I wasn't on this job list (somehow had my phone number though :whistling: ) and so on. Was still promising to do the job at 1am the next morning. All of this time, I was moving anything that would fit in the Stagea & my trailer.

I realised he had no intention of doing the job and the next day managed to find a mover at very short notice who did the rest of the job for an excellent price when they could've charged the earth and I would've had to pay :thanks: . The new movers had come across this arsehole before and told me some very nasty stories about how the guy had screwed other people, I later found even one of my own friends had fallen victim to his particular brand of f**kwittage.

Interestingly, they told me of his inability to pass up a juicy cash job in a big house.

While I was having a beer at the pub, waiting for a mate to join me on Saturday; it occurred to me that there were now TWO people on my list.

I then encountered the age old problem; how to screw two arseholes(I mean join two kindred spirits) with the minimum amount of effort?:ph34r:

Apparently, on Saturday afternoon, the aforementioned mover may have recieved a phone call from a man who he believes to be living in Charlestown, who was interested in moving house! Coincidentally, he's desperate to get into his new place, which just happens to be a rather large, expensive property in my local area. On top of that, he's prepared to pay SUBSTANTIALLY above the going rate, IN CASH, to have the job done NEXT WEEKEND, but only if the job can commence at 4am Saturday.

It turns out; that this certain mover has (from what I've heard) fallen on slightly hard times, and is extremely keen to do a short notice cashie for a man in need!:banana: What a stroke of luck!

It seems he was slightly worried about the amount of travel to the start point, but was won over with the offer of a further large lump sum payment of CASH for his troubles. Also it had the added bonus of ending quite close to his own home base which, apparently he was rather happy about. Swings and Roundabouts eh?

This post may, or may not be based entirely in fact; I'll let you decide.

Welcome to the game gentlemen.:cheers:

Very nice!!!!.....you just need to sneak over there at about 3AM and put up a sign on his house!

"OWNED"

No, see that's the best part!

Apparently he's moving, but he's keeping it as an investment property, and he's got some REALLY good tenants ready to move in this coming weekend!

It's incredible how things seem to be panning out for Symond...

bicycles. they decide that they have enough authority to ride in the middle of a lane.

stay on the f**kin left hand side of the left lane. not in the middle. if you want to ride in the middle, go and get a registration.. oh wait you cant. THEN GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE EFFING LANE YOU TWAT!

and the next time if you decide to roll up to my window and yell, dont ride away again when i get out of the car. fkn chicken shit.

    • 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
