I WOULD LIKE TO SAY A BIG THANKYOU TO JIM 72GT on sau THE OWNER OF A KGC10 DONE UP AS A REPLICA GTR FOR DRIVING IT FOR MY WEDDING ON 5/11/11.

I dream about the car every day and when i buy a bigger house which should be soon i will buy that car. when jim turned up at my place i saw the car and almost cryed it was clean neat and fitted in with the other wedding cars very nice. Jim drove very professional from my house in the wedding convoy to chatswood and even waited to after my church service was done to let us take photos and wow did it attract attention.

When i get the photos i will post them up for all to see then hang them on my wall.

Jim thankyou very much for all the effort you went to eventhough your own skyline was out of action you did all the running around to borrow your mates same car to make my day even better goodluck in moving house and in the future.

THANKYOU VERY MUCH

Hey Adam!

Honestly mate it was my pleasure. One thing I should point out straight up is ....that was not MY car :blush: The closer the date came, it became evident my KGC10 would not be ready, so thanks to a "NSW Corvettes Unlimited " member and VERY good friend of mine, lets call him "Ganders"... very generously made his freshly refurbished KGC10 available for the day.

And a great day it was! During the Wedding ceremony we went for a coffee up on Victoria ave nearby.....in that time the parked KGC10 appeared to be the cause of three near misses due to people doing double takes and sudden pull ups in an attempt to get photos!! :D It caused a bit of a stir with a few of the people walking by as well " What is it?..NO WAY!! Hey come back and look at this" etc

It was a pleasure to meet you, your brothers, mates, grooms men etc. I had fun, and ..um yeah, I now have ANOTHER plan for mine :cheers:

P.S. I wore a family heirloom thin black tie and got my hair cut Jase, the Skyline did the rest :cool:

Awww ok was spot by a member going west on M4.

On second thoughts maybe it is just the photo?

I said it wasn't Jim's car because the car looks white/cream in the pic??? Jim's car was recently on a truck and is currently sitting with another KGC10 and a handful of Prince Skyline's :ph34r: But Jim's is silver/grey. It does look the same - so i should have clarified the colour in the picture first.....Is it just a bad quality picture which makes it look white?

    • 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.
