My exhaust had a great escrape the last time I took the stagea on a bush trail. Apart from the ground clearance issues, the ATTESA works fantastically. No need to even use the 50/50 split button, the computer sorts it out.

Had to haul up 50 packs of flooring at 15kg each up a steep wet curved driveway.

So put a half a dozen in the car for a bit more traction, the rest in a trailer.

Stuck it in Syncro mode in 1st, was expecting to have to rev the shit out of it and fight slippage, went up like a dream with no effort at all.

f**k I love this car..

Gee look at your springs!! Is that lowered or is something else in those boxes ;)

That's standard autech axis height with around 35-40 slabs of soft drinks in the back. All behind the back seat. I have had around 65 slabs in there before with the seats down and there was room for more. It looks worse than what it is in the pic coz of uneven ground but it is extremely on its arse. Poor springs.

...and then went looking for more stuff to put in so everything wouldn't slide around.

Fit a refrigerator and washer in the back with no problem, unfortunately only got a picture with the fridge in there.

luckily there was another chance to put a washer in there, a long with a chair and various other furniture my buddy picked up from a sayonara sale

Little late to the party,

we went over to SA end of last year with 2 suitcases and a cooler.

Way back was a little different, both our families loaded us with stuff to take back.

Does not look like much.

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
