Hey,

Just thought I'd post up that my car is currently featured in this months (November Issue #154) issue of Performance Imports and I'm stoked!! LOL :D

Just like to thank everyone here on the forums who have helped out, whether it be helping me put the car together or just contributing to the forums with their knowledge. I would literally spend hours trawling the forums for tech info and first hand accounts from everyone and without the extensive SAU database of knowledge, there would be no way I could've built the car up to the point it is now.

I made a special shoutout in the article about the SAU forums so once again, thanks heaps to everyone for making the forums so informative :cheers: I know SAU has a rich history of having member cars being featured in various magazines (and to be honest, some of the cars featured are downright mint compared to mine) so I guess you can add another car to the list :)

Here are the pics from the article so if you guys are interested, grab a copy to read more about it (sorry for dodgy phone pics).

Thanks guys, but I still reckon it's nowhere near as good as some of the ones I've seen featured from SAU (eg. can't remember the name but it's a white 32 GTR built to be a RH9 contender. Somewhere in Queensland I think. Dude also has a 33 GTR too)

Tai1or Made: S2 > S1 hahahahaha :P

Terry: Nah, it was some bloke called Jun I think. I heard about Eric Tang before and wouldn't getting some pics from him, but I heard he heavily digitally alters the photos though?

Mate im sure theres been nicer cars with bugets to much, but you've still got to have a very clear clean paint and panel work for a mag feature.

Very tidy!!!

Sorry Frosty, I never bothered to make a build thread :( I guess it would've come in handy as the car started stock and I've noticed a few people in the FI section ask about top mounting turbos, front facing plenums etc.

That'd be Ben Earl's R32 GTR drag car, built for 1000+ HP and located in Mackay far north QLD. If it is him your talking about, the car is INSANE to watch race and will give you an erection.

Yeah, I think that's the one Seano. Just remembered, the numberplates were something like RBE85 or something? Either way, tough car.

Thanks cul8er, good to hear you're getting a feature too! Looks like SAU has quite a few feature cars floating around :cheers:

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
