He’s all good.  He’ll be back soon(ish). Like all of us life got in the way for a bit.

Cant wait to see him ripping into it again too!  My hand up will be for a ride as soon as he gets it on the road!

Time for an update, haven't touched the torana for the past year, but I decided to build myself a whiskey lounge. Only a few small jobs left to do then I'll clean up the shed and sell some of my skyline spare parts then back into the torana.

Update time. Quit my job three years ago that i was at for 14 years after getting sick of watch stupid management decisions and having to deal with a continuous stream of HR managers that hate people. I was lucky enough to get a job at Southern Rod and Custom in the assembly area. So i've been putting other people's car together and thought it's time to get back into mine.

 

Some photos of work.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
