Had afternoon tea with the 48-215FxFj holden car club at my olds today after their victor run. One of the members is into racing, 'had' a ford focus with over 100k put into it. Massive crash in the Adelaide rally car was smashed into bits, lucky to have come out unscathed. One driver blew his 500k Lamborghini engine a couple weeks ago, rebuilt it then it blew a week later, 100k down the drain. Same week bought a new 500k lambo & stacked that one. Wow, who ever said racing was cheap? Bloke with the written off focus wrote his other race car off a few weeks earlier in the Hills.... One of the Porsche drivers was jumping over a crest at 200 & a r32 flew past him (in the air) at over 250! Insane overtaking from a 'kid driver, apparently.

One year I'm definitely going to do the mt.alma climb & classic Adelaide rally.

Also, one driver borrowed a r32 gtr which proceeded to catch fire at the end of a stage, would hate to be him! Not sure on all the exact details but sounded like a pretty full on event...

Think may have to ring the Pa, he was asking me the other day if it's wise to lend his Targa R32 GTR to someone for the Classic Adelaide..... better check to make sure he took my advice of 'what the hell you on?!?!!'. Then again he did seem upbeat tonight at dinner.....

That was Tony Quinn and he borrowed the Just Jap R32 GTR Tarmac Car and was running second outright when a turbo let go and caused an engine fire. He was about a km from the end of the final stage when it happened and as a result a DNF. Then when it was on the back of the truck it caught fire again as it was being trucked back to the service park so know bonnet, electrical and other unknown are a bit stuffed. I guess it is now between Tony and Just Jap to come to an arrangment to have the car fixed up. My Brother in law was the navigator in this car.

So many of those girls are utterly fantastic...

:unsure:

Mod list is pretty sweet.

Wheels are f**k ugly.

Headlights are f**k ugly.

Colour doesn't even look good on the Lambos it was pinched from, and is therefore f**k ugly.

Wide guards make f**k ugly look good.

For what i had done which was 'stage 3', Paint Correction and sealant was $240. awesome value for money for the time and effort that was spent. couldn't recommend highly enough

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
