i was gonna get a VL but this has got leather mang. bitches love leather. and easy to clean when it gets full from sand when we hit edithvale beach this summer. gonna be siiiiiiick

^ this was my actual logic for the gloria

I was gonna get a corolla or a cruize for 10k but this has got some power and it interesting and it's got 4 doors which makes it a sensible daily driver.

^ this was my actual logic for the evo.


Called Shannons to modify my policies...

Skyline went from Daily $13k / $1800 to Extreme Limited Use $13k / $1240.
Evo Daily $15k / $1200something as well

Urgh :( Was expecting the Skyline to drop under a grand considering its able to be driven only 2-3 times per month.

They also said I could rock up without an appointment to the Shannons center in Cheltenham and get one of their blokes to sight the car and the replacement value of all the mods... and a $23k agreed value ($10k more) would be about $35 extra per year.... uwot?

A customer asked me if we sold leather seat covers today.... Now it all makes sense.

Sign up for the racv vintage/classic insurance. There is a thread somewhere on SAU

I was able to get my car in with shannons for 30k without them sighting it... I was curious to what i'd be able to wager if they saw the thing. Probably less.

Especially if they ask me to start it right now....

R34 ineligible for RACV classic. Too new.

Does feel kind of dirty seeing a R33 GTST eligible but a R34 not. :P

Yeah it sucks the Series 1 is eligible but the Series 2 isn't haha. I think next year it will be though?

Nothing stock looking about that engine bay either...

Pod filter coming out the side of the airbox which kind of defeats the point

GT40 low mount isn't exactly stealth material

Show the bay from the side and it's a different story

Good sleeper from the outside though, you would fool every seriously fast car on the street

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
