Anyone know if, during daytime use, headlights are mandatory? I have a track bike which is road rego'd for insurance purposes, and obviously has no headlights, but I'd like to take it out every so often. It is fitted with brake and tail lights and I could easily fab up some indicator brackets too. Just the lack of headlight is the issue. Obviously would never ride at night without it...

I'd say yes they are, or the bike technically isn't in roadworthy condition and would void your insurance anyway? Dunno just my thoughts

MO WTF? Already? That build didn't take long at all, felt like less than a week.

If it was built but his cousins like his original guards, then it probably has daewoo pistons and a Hyundai excel block

Nah I'm almost done. Couple of f**k ups by ikea I had to fix though, like oversized pre drilled holes..

It's just time consuming. I saw your car.. Was gonna box it in with trolleys.. Maybe next time

Haha did you have to get some parts swapped over or something? What did you buy, anyway?

Ah, yeah, I was in Kitchens today.

Did you swing by our new lolly bar? $2 per 100g. It's aight. But can't have much too unhealthy yo :P

Birdy, what do you think of Martini Racing gearbox oil?

I have no experience with it, though Martini products are generally very good, so I doubt you'd see their name on something shit. I could be wrong, but from memory Martini are just rebranders of decent stuff from other manufacturers.

Nope, one kit. "Hemnes" set of draws. Finished them off today. Found more issues.. One of the biscuit joins weren't drilled deep enough and pushed through the face side snapping the face of the draw. All the screws just keep threading themselves. Fixing sooooo many of ikeas f**k ups..

/whinge

Tl:dr

Yeh next time I'll just buy premade. Lol easier less problems or just build my own from scratch

They make their own stuff now I believe according to mate who works there, ie used to sell endless 600 brake fluid, now have their own.

Engine and gearbox now filled with martini, yet to start it though. Motorbike soon to also have martini

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
