With the SAU 2012 Nats fast approaching and the car coming together.

I decided to do some general maintenance and check over the car.

Changed the oil and decided to flush the radiator when I came across this!

(This also could have happened earlier in the year but for the sake of the timeline lets chuck it in here)

Ended up going to Nat Rad in Canberra and asking their opinion.

One of the jap websites sold a replacement for about $90 but I didn't have that cash for a small pipe nor the time.

Nat Rad ended up finding a bit of pipe sitting and around and gave it to me for $5.00

I smashed it in with a hammer and its holding together to this date!

Decided to also clear up my headlights.

So many different options on how to go about this and I chose one and just dived in!

Metal Polish! AMAZING!

I think the results speaks for itself!

Around this time as well I noticed my rims were scrubbing on the guards a little bit.

So I purchased myself a heat gun, hammer and time haha

Not many photos of this but here is one that I could dig up.

It doesn't show much but you can kind of make out that I folded the inner lip up.

This was enough to give the rims clearance.

Those rims look heeeeaps better, interesting read

$500 to change a rwd clutch, wow shits dear down there, the clutch in my 32 GTR cost that and that was a clutch shop, I had to do it 5 time in 3 years but that's a different story

Haha $500 is the backyard price with no receipt!

Its around $750-$1000 if you want it done by a workshop.

Thankfully I have found a bloke that knows what he is talking about and takes his time to do it right

You kents should make this the SAU NSW Mini Nats -

Its NSW members only entry for the first month so get on it!

The day of the week kills me!
Can't do anything mid week in my position.

I have to do weekend track days.

But I have been checking out Wakefield and you can get on the track some weekends for only $150

You can travel down again and rip some skids

if there are track days there where you can crack some skids for $150 let me know - cheapest i have found is 200- 250

enjoying this read :)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
