#@blah_blah #@kaitoukid Do either of you have S1 reo for cheapish, and can drop to me in Ringwood or Dave's in Franga tomorrow? I'd come pick it up, but my car is at Dave's.

Neg, mine is on car haha. However...

I have a r34 series 1 front reo if you are going to get another one

------------------------------------

Better food than USA as well

Kinda scary seeing a beer just wander out of the trees tho

stock-footage-walking-beer-300x169.jpg

dem wandering beers doe.

Dave said I don't need one, he's managed to hammer it out. Will still probably acquire one eventually just in case. Also did you quote me saying things I didn't, or is the app being retarded?

Dat structural integrity...

They are only made to take one solid hit and if you can hammer it out again it's prolly in a weak as fk state; and weaker again now that someone has taken a hammer to it. So if you care about the crash zone and legality replace it...otherwise, carry on.

Yeah If you want to drink cocktails on a beach then yeah, Fiji. We went to cancun, in Mexico and it's got an amazing beach if you want to do that

as it is I probably be forced to go to NZ sometime as missus has family there and used to holiday there alot....but it will be against my will :P

anyone recommend a painter/powdercoater for wheels?

not going back to A1 powdercoating in moorabbin.

I was advised a while abck by a powder coater not to powder coat wheels if its a race car....they dont like heat...

which is odd considering everybody thinks powdercoating is the bomb....

Anyway another option...come around some time...bring beer, you help me sand em back Ill spray em for you...save a few bucks that way,, ;)

I keep reading that and it sounds pretty dumb to me. Something along the lines of 800 degree brake dust flying around plus hot tyres making wheels get hot too... Though they are spinning and cooling down, and the heat usually even (as oppose to section by section sandblasting)

I am keen, and am interested, but im not even sure if the bronze can even be sanded off since its not smooth like painted wheels, its quite rough almost like golf ball dimples.

Toby, are you still the treasurer?

If your requesting a refund, i've spent it

Well missus wants to go tas or new zealand in July... anyone here with experience, yay or nay?

New Zealand, Queenstown. Could do a drive down from Christchurch to Queenstown with a stop over at Lake Tekapo. Amazing scenery.

In saying that, airasia flights arent that much more exy. And money spend extra on flights would be saved via accomodation, food and spending costs anyway.

Everything in asia cheap cheap

I do, but no time to drop it off

meh its fine man....f**k most peopl cut them out and put intercoolers in anyway....just shuddup birds...stop making him worry .its only NA not like it will go fast enough to do any real damage anyway :rofl:

I cut out half my reo with a grinder to fit cooler; cop remarked to me that it was good I hadn't cut any holes in the chassis to for my return flow lol

Just sayin he shouldn't worry about the bump that was already there, if he's not worried about your "customisation"!

yeh i flew into christchurch and drove down, nothing left there after the earthquakes which was pretty sad this was almost 2 years back i think so might of changed.

Things seemed normal pretty much, i was there last year in about October.

Did you eat at Fergburger in Queenstown? I had that for breakfast lunch and dinner. Best burger I've eaten

my sisters bf just got a job as manager for the project of town planning for rebuilding christchurch.

theyve start rebuilding some of it... as most were insurance claimed/government, but if the block of land has a height difference of 30mm or more at the ends then its has to be demolished and rebuilt :unsure:

a lot of the older buildings theyre keeping the front and rebuilding everything behind it.

but if the block of land has a height difference of 30mm or more at the ends then its has to be demolished and rebuilt :unsure:

from what it used to be, or just across the block?

My block has 20m difference front to back :D

Yeh think I had it once over there, we were only in Queenstown 2 or 3 nights I think from memory, should of had more time there.

Did the jet boat thing ini the canyons which was awesome too

Well, looks like it's 6:30... guesss I'm not going GC meet. The gym ( :yes:) and hw ( :no:) beckons instead.

Also on topic, lived in NZ for like 7 years, but wasn't old enough to do anything cool or suggest any cool locales :/. Would definitely rather go there than TAS surely, though?

Or better yet, just go Japan dude. Your wallet won't thank you though. But your heart will.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
