yep good idea if you just want a cheap run around

the one i got is 2004 and v cheap, sure it aint perfect but who cares

the ba's i looked at starting price is around 6500 to 7k for mid 150,000+ on them

but still in v good condition and hardly anything wrong

even with stuff wrong, still v cheap to fix

i was looking and low 200,000models for around 6k as well

its funny

the market value for a 1988 vl calais turbo is 4k to 6.5k

yet the market value for a 2004 ba falcon goes from 4000 to 5400 i think

Try closer to 10k Paul for a calais turbo, upto easy 15k. ;)

IN other news... SAU Nats DVD is ready! Anyone coming on GOR can get them early :)

RAAAGGGEEE! Another night goes past .... still the harmonic balancer bolt stays tight. Cannot get it undone. Everything has been tried. 3/4in drive rattle guns, breaker bars, proping breaker bars and cranking the car .... nothing is getting this bolt undone :(

any suggestions?

    • 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
