GT -and- single speed, he posted 2 different bikes :P

The Edinburgh bike has a flip flop hub, and right now it's running singlespeed. Gear ration of 38/18 from memory. It's such an awesome bike to ride! Nice gear ratio in terms of a top speed / hill climb compromise.

Crispy, do you have any pics / details of your felt bike?

06 or 07 Q620 - $70, score :D

Seems to have the 07 gusseting around the head stem, but 06 stickers and spec eg. RST Gila fork.

Spend some time pulling of reflectors and other silly plastic shit, ordered some red lock on grips from the US.

A guy I ride with occasionally at the track had a custom road pushie made up for him, some European brand I'm trying like crazy to remember. Anyway when he was getting it made he said he wanted it to be the same orange as the Gallardo. He gets a paint bill for $3000 and asks what the? Turns out they sent the frame to the Lamborghini factory to be painted in the same paint as the Gallardo. Lamborghini even painted it twice because they weren't content with the first time.

The whole bike cost him over $20k. Then he had a motocross accident and can't ride it any more anyway, lol, oh well! Clearly the man has too much time and money on his hands :dry:

David and Cammys in boxhill is where I usually go for dumplings

that place always has a lot of people eating in there.. always wanted to try it.

I might pop in there one night this week for dinner

lol, I know, well it was being built in Europe anyway... but that's the thing, completely ridiculous. 'Sif colour /matching/ would have been enough :P It was this guys divorce present to himself. :thumbsup:

I don't think you'd ever want most people cars on club reg, too much headache.

Given its two years til r32s become eligible, now is probably a good time for SAU to sign up with only a handful of people wanting club reg, easier for the club to come up to speed with all the requirements.

my car is a 1993, thats another 6yrs to go to 25 O_o

I dont think the car will be moving still in 6yrs time haha

(note to future self who digs up this thread in 6yrs time, the r32 made it!)

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
