Hey mate just read the article on you/your car in the latest performance mag, car looks awesomene mate and the vids are unreal and with the centre fold poster !bonus! Im getting that thing laminated. Just curious where ya from I noticed all the shops you use are local to me too. Might have to get some work done to my gtr :)

Can't get these wheels in a +22 offset or else I would order them.

What tyres are you going to run at WTAC? If you want to go 295 you'll be struggling with +22 offset. +15 is more common and more likely to fit unless you have different uprights? Or spacers?

Thanks dude, I didn't know the issue was out yet, curious to read what was written. Workshop is in lilydale Melbourne. Need anything pm and ill point you onto who ever you need.

Currently running 18x10.5 +22 offset te37's which are needed for the way it's set up. Been using 305/18 slicks with no issue. Running spaces in the front. Will be running 295's for time attack for sure. Looks like a second hand pair of te37 but probably won't find it in +22 offset, best bet is work wheels but weigh 11.1kg, te37 weigh 8.8. Not a huge difference.

10kg rotating mass is HUGE!

Yen is good.. new set of rays about $2800

Blew the budget ages ago steve, I wish I could get another set of te37's, I'm starting to think I should have bought a Porsche gt3 cup car instead as I'd have heaps of spare change.

Yeah I look at what I'm doing to the R35 just so I can race against Cup Cars and often wonder why I didn't just buy a Cup Car in the first place! LOL

Yeah but then you'd just be another Porsche driver...

So here are some pics of the old car prior to Bc automotive livery and last track day, photos courtesy of hp imports. It's a trip seeing your car like this then in 100 pieces again.

Awesome cover shot mate. Our orange drift car is in the top left of the cover as well :)

Lol so true. Not sure about you but I've become emotionally involved with the it. I can't part with it even though financially it's the smart choice. If only I can turn back time, if I could find a way...blah blah blah.

Thanks dude, looking forward to reading up on your beast, soon as I get a copy. Had brad snap and send some shots of the story till its out.

Servicing and parts would be out the ass too. The R35 might be comparable, but parts and availability for R32 would be less of a headache

The project seems to be a little off schedule but its starting to pick up again. Went past today to see the progress and help out we're I could. Engine will be completed by this weekend, just needs to be put together.. Some snap shots of the block 2stage bored to 1mm oversized, diamond plateau honed bores.

The whole engine except for the hypertune plenum was cryogenically frozen, from the block to the clutch and flywheel, head, nuts and bolts, the lot. I have no idea if this actually prolongs the life of the parts, but went for it on the engine builders recommendations.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
