Show us your kids. First night back to Bmx racing for a month. Told the boy it's been a while take it easy. Cruised around for 2 laps, then hammered it out the start gate didn't clear the first jump binned it down the massive Hill. 20mins. Just got home from emergency. The boy is destined to own a skyline.

Shoey divided by 100. Did about 703 metres! His knee, hip and elbow had munga deep grazes and the wrist blew up instantly. Checked out all good in X-rays. Phew. Already pushing hard for a day off school tomorrow. Haha. Bad luck. I've been crawling around in and under a dual control rubbish truck called Dennis making 4"s/s intercooler tubing for 2 days. You will be going to school. Show us your dad. Awww

Used to race bmx, did a few cool down laps after an event with my best mate late at night. He clipped the top of a step-up and went head first into the following tabletop. I had to scream out for an ambulance as he was out cold. No damage done tho

Yeah mate. It's a pretty extreme sport as you obviously know. Heart was in my mouth for a few seconds. He dusted it off told everyone he was fine then got on the bike and dumped it again because the chain came off during the stack. He tried to finish the lap. I was fully proud of the boy. The track out at Westside has a pretty extreme start. Best track in w.a. I think.

But crack flossing. A full team of surgeons with pointy nose pliers.

DSC_0288.JPGCheck the tube out. (from the Dennis) Intercooler to manifold intake pipe on the charge air or boost side were 4" o/d. Because the intercooler outlet and the manifold were cast pipes the I/d of the cast pipe was approximately the same as the I/d of a 3 1/2 inch 16 guage tube. They have had problems with the 4" Ali tubes being worn through and cracking from the compressor lines of the Cummins engine wearing through and losing boost pressure and rattling. I left the tube running off the intercooler at 4" like a plenum then reduced it to 3 1/2 to clear the chassis rail and compressor tubes. Still had to press a flat in it for clearance at 3 1/2 inch o/d s/s. We had to lift the chasis from the leafs just to be able to manoeuvre the tube in with a porter power because the 2ton forklift couldn't lift it. Developed 3 tubes from 316 s/s, done the drawings and jigged it up. 2 days. Tighter than a nuns I'm there. Mental.DSC_0292.JPG

It'd bloody hurt coming off in Lycra


Yeah had a couple of offs now, both times mechanical failure not skill related, shit happens, first off was a big one, went over the bars as the wheel at the back came out of its lock. Last week had a front flat and didn't realise went round a corner and ate shit.

I hit a roo at 100ish, wasn't dressed appropriate and ate bitumen. Took me months to get over. Got gangrene weeks later. Riding in Lycra sounds scary to me

Keep telling yourself that grandad

Funny story for u guys. My wife was In the xr8 on gt. eastern hwy near the casino. She took off pretty quick from the lights as she does in the 6 speed manual. She heard a awesome sounding loud as v8 next to her looked over and was surprised to see it was another lady driving a new black senator. It pulled level with her then started gassing it on and off for a race. My wife will never bite back. Unbeknownst to her and my wife the police were right behind them. Woop, Woop, pulled the commodore over. Haha. My wife panicked and thought it was for her but the police waved her on:-)

One like for my fully difficult charge air tube. Hope it was my boss?

    • 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.
