Oh, I'm not actually getting much. The engine is perfectly fine and doesn't need any work at the moment. I'm getting some more cleaning stuff (running low on some things), a Headlight restoration kit, Microfibre towels!, some Mesh for the front skirt (I've been told it wont pass pits without it?), some valve caps for my tires (its missing them) and a lug nut...because im missing one and it annoys me. The plan tomorrow is to shell the interior (as best as I can) and clean it out.

The car has been sitting in a commercial garage in welshpool for 6 months collecting dust both inside and out, so before I can do any real work ,I need to clean it.

I haven't got a time frame in mind. I'm in no rush because I have a daily (2014 Lancer ES) and my Motorbike ( <3 ) so the skyline is purely a hobby... but, the sooner the better, I guess. I don't think it'll take too much, but it's a first for me. I have a friend coming around possibly on thursday arvo to take a look at my cluster, because my Tachometer, fuel gage and boost gage don't work. So, if every thing goes smoothly it should be ready for the pits next week, maybe.

Thinking about making a thread to document the work.

Selling for a 2 door? ;)

SNAP!.

4 doors are where it's at man ;)

I know I need to take it over the pits, but there are obvious things that *need* to be done first. Once the obvious things are fixed, i'll take it over the pits and see what surprises me.

While you're on Z00key, Wanna tag along in the morning? (I'm leaving early, around 9ish)

    • 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
    • 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
