Finished polishing the SkyHatch (by Hand), Vac and a little Armor All.

Drove out and got the Fusebox Cover from the previous owner and he found the Gutter strip that was missing also. (needs some beating and clips before reattach)

Owner was Well Impressed with the change that has happened in the last week. The Daughter took a pic and nearly wanted to buy her poor old "Franky" back.

Fanky aint no more lady. Ruby Red Foo SkyHatch lives here now. :D

I think maybe the 34 may go tomorrow too :(

I've reduced it down to $11,900 *cry*

Not sure what the next project is yet .....

but the GTR is going to be getting stuff done soon :D

not many buying anything at the moment.

34's been up for a while now then outta the blue I get a genuine caller

(so many tire kickers and low ballers who pretty much just mess you around)

PIA selling cars

Washed the Dark Blue Pulsar cause Dark Blue and washed the Red one cause it was parked next to it. :D Feels So Smooth.

My Apologies for making it rain. :/

Also got the stereo working. It was actually the tiny (barely visible) fuse in the back was blown. Sounds Quite good.

Filled up with Shell 91. Let the Economy Stats commence. ;)

Nice Work Chris! :thumbsup: I'm yet to have a crack at it but soonish.

Replaced a split Crankcase Breather hose and Cleaned and unblocked a related Vac Hose.

Also took off the tiny Airbox Snorkel for extra breathing / induction noises. :laugh:

SkyHatch Rego Inspection Done...

Despite having:

Exhaust Manifold Stud Missing (Big Exhaust Leak)

Front and Rear Engine Mounts / Dampers Stuffed

Drivers CV joint Stuffed

None of which were mentioned except CV Boot split (advisory)

It Failed, but only for a Split Brake pedal Rubber and a L/H lower Balljoint. :woot:

Advisories are: L/H Outer CV Boot, Oil Leak and a Rusty Tailpipe.

Already replaced the Pedal Rubber for $5.75 from Repco, received a manifold gasket in the post today off Ebay and will get a pair of Balljoints off Ebay and DIY them.

oh and I'm gonna fix the Engine mounts with SIKAFLEX and will get a pair of CV joints later on plus chop off the rusty tailpipe. :D

When I used to have my old n14 pulsar dad and I used to just replace the whole half shaft because it was easier and less fiddly haha!

Hate CV Joints with a passion :verymad:

Nxt Project came around faster than I planned.

Since he was a little boy

Richard loved fixing cars,

Up first in the morning

He was still going under the stars,

If they seem a little old

Or a little unwanted these days,

Just give it here, I’ll fix it

Youse will be amazed,

As long as she goes

I’ll never come unstuck,

A service, some polish & tyre black

And it’s all good .. I’ll make a buck.

I can tell, I'm tempted to propose a deal on THE34T!!

But seriously, looks like you have a lot of fun doing what you love doing with those cars, the Commy was a perfect example, and if you can make a $ doing it all the best of luck to you. You do it well, you have fun ..... good on ya mate .. :cheers: ..

    • 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.
