FJ20DR30 - If you want an early drive to collect bugs on the front of her, meeting us at BP Calder Inbound be my guest. We'll all work out a time later.

Dennis - If you want to Drive to VIC (from memory you're over in WestEnd Draught Land) and join us be my Guest, fair bloody way though. I reckon the quality will be high so no guarantees you'll win anything, hahaha!

edit: I am now reading there is no judging no tropheys, just a day to admire.

The Historic Jap Car Show is limited to 120 pre 1986 "show cars", then from what I've read the car park, literally next to the show area will have errrm the not so showy cars limit 175 cars. So the car park could be more interesting than the show itself! Only 9am to 1pm so short but sweet.......... Here is the link to the info/flyer for it thanks to Toymods.org for organising:

Thanks to Mastadd (at a guess) Steve.C got in contact with me. He as you may know owns the old RavenOak DR from Sydney.

He is 50/50 in joining us as he has his daughters birthday party the night before. So here's hoping he can also join us although he is way over East Lillydale way form memory. We may have to meet up somewhere Northern then head South to the Show. Worry about that later.

Hey we may all be car parks numbers yet! Like you, doesn't really phase me, the show sounds like it will spill over to the car park anyways.

I have been to many car shows since being in VIC and christ all mighty am I sick of looking at Mustangs and red neck Monaros. So to go to a JAP Day will be a fantastic change to the bland norm. Like you, I'm looking for R100's, Celicas, Bellets, 510's, 180b, Corona MK1, Stanza Coupe, christ I'll even look at a Civic!

It will be interesting.

Regards,

Mike

The Bellet GT was a great little car, but we only got it in limited numbers here in Oz because I think the insurance premiums went thru the roof because it was a GT.

It was the pre deccessor of many very smart small Isuzu cars that we never got to see which was a real pity.

We might have seen a lot more but for the european connection of GM

Depends on where we will be meeting others I guess?

Im not really fussed.

If we all meet at the BP and no stops to meet others, 7:30am departure from BP?

Any word from the ex-Ravenok dr "steve" ?

Hopefully the weather holds out too

ill go ether way im not bothered by the rain how ever better dry

how can i know for sure though as ill be leaving at 7 to meet up whats the forcast?

http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/melbourne.shtml

It smells of rain tomorrow......................................................

To be honest I'm 50/50 - when wet the dr stays in the shed.

However, the guys from Toymods have put a lot of effort into this, I feel for their outcome.

I'll check back here first thing tomorrow, I have no problems if anyone backs out, 7:30am sharp exit form BP Calder, yes?

Just bloody unfortunate is all.

Mike.

      Shift Performance Ganador Reps

      By Lmic · Posted

      Came across these Ganador reps and am wondering if anyone has used these/come across these ?  Seem to look like reasonably good replicas (shape wise) from what I can see. Ive been told by them that they are moulded to be exact copies of original Ganadors (but thats what every replica version will say) https://www.shiftperformance.com.au/ganador-style-mirrors-suits-nissan-skyline-r33-gtr Photos of them installed appreciated Thanks 👍

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      lol, yeah, and how gutted I am now I’m back over in Europe (actual Europe) and dealing with the nightmare of U.K.-Continental Europe bureaucracy.   Anyway, arrived in NL early January with the BMW, whilst the Skyline followed suit about a week later. Both cars ended up stuck with their relative importers for about six weeks. Since then, I made a trip to the Nurburgring with a friend and have since ditched the Skyline in the garage. This week, I finally managed to find a suitable shop to do an alignment so hopped on over to Germany to fix the miserable mess the local Netherlands shop conducted; the car was just not aggressive enough in the rear for my driving style - I found myself understeering a fair bit at the ring which was really a first for me with this car. Mis-matched F&R tyres can be held partly responsible - have now moved to F+R NS2Rs. One thing I’ve noticed is the 180kph limiter just does not cut it here. I quickly hit that (for the first time) in Germany on the autobahn. Japanese circuits are small - at least the ones that were near me. I rarely spent much time in 4th. After much deliberation with the HKS SLD, I have ordered Nistune from Matt. Whilst the Skyline has been gathering dust I got to learning the highly neglected BMW I bought in the U.K. was in fact just that, highly neglected. Took the ol’ dog down to Switzerland last weekend with a progressively deteriorating front end. It went from vibration during braking at highway speed on the way down, to vibrating non-stop on the way back. I’ve already fixed numerous engine issues - low oil pressure, f**ked injectors, incorrect coils and plugs, electric water pump. Still to do is a suspension and brake overhaul, rear subframe replacement and likely more ageing engine electrical components. But I must say, I love it. After so long with the Skyline, I really didn’t know cars could be so comfortable.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I adjusted my soft cut to 7600rpm and if I see I'm still making power there, I'll consider readjusting to possibly 7800rpm while on the dyno.

      R34 GTT Wiring Harness Similarities

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Yeah not sure. I sourced another relay no problem, its definitely a relay according to Nissan parts, they used those specific relays on a bunch if cars around that time, but my two options are, find a behind dash wiring loom which is proving difficult, or get the current loom fixed up by the shop when they put my rebuilt engine back in, they are confident in their auto electrical abilities. Thing is my current loom has anti-theft stuff and GPS immobilisers wired into it so easiest option may be to just fix the current one to save ripping apart the immobiliser.
