That dash wouldn't be hard to replicate poit. I personally wouldn't give up my factory dash for that, but that's me. To make that in 1-1.6 mm ally sheet would be fairly easy, weekend job tops. Looks to be just satin black, few hole saw bits to match ur gauge sizes etc. looks NASCAR spec

yeah I think I should just tidy up my stock dash and leave it, take the heater core and AC out too, seeing as they're not hooked up...

I need to make some door cards more than anything!

I've been fooling around with the 33 and took some pics to share.

So I thought I had a pretty major problem when at symmons plains I was getting some SERIOUSLY bad vibe through the wheel\car when going faster than 90kph. I was like the f**k my car is going to fall apart.

I was pretty convinced that something was seriously a miss with the passenger side front suspension\bearings, something was not right. I pulled it all down and low to behold, it was all brand new, it wasn't till I was putting the wheel back on that I discovered the massive flat spot on the tyre -_- FAIL

Then I painted and fitted my new wheels, they're Rays SS7 18x9.5 +38 but to get them to fit I had to install a 15mm bolt on spacer as they fouled on the upper wishbone(?) when on full lock now it clears by about 1mm. They were gold but now they're Matte black, and I'm thinking of painting the lip red to match my lensos and break it up a little. The tyres are Dunlop D03Gs in a medium Compound, 245\40\18 for the front and 265\35\18 on the back.

I'm pretty sad about my Drift Teks getting so f**ked up after my little spill at Symmons :( Those rocks hurt!!

I also put in a passenger seat for the Charity Rides day in a few weeks :)

I also fitted some new brake pads, Hawk DTC-60 should pull the while whale up nicely :)

Hey Pete if you didn't already know its really easy to add a stripe to the wheels. You can either buy some red pin stripe or cut a pice out of vynal. It can just be a strait pice. As you put it on the wheel it will flex as such and turn a strait line into a curved line. So no need to paint it or cut out round stripes. I have done this neumerous times to wheels on a race car I used to look after.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
