http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=175548

Its in September and in your neck of the woods :nyaanyaa:

and here is what it is: (this is the victorian version that we go down and do, it will be same just not Shepparton facility but Sutton rd)

That sounds awesome Jess. Why was none of this stuff done in this area when i had my skyline... I don't know if i will enter though as I am still running in the new motor (it's actually a new car turbo Forester) but will be coming out for a look for sure.

Awesome hope you come to spectate at least....but you can enter any car really cause its all about skill not horsepower!!!

I dont know why!!!Probably didnt think it would take off I guess but went the Victorian one (DECA) and its so much fun and go again in august....

It seriously isnt that stressful on the cars and a massive social event!!

Do you guys know of any other accomodation around the place???

I think we will be putting up a official thread in your section as have to get ACT against NSW for a bit of fun, trash talk lol ;) Spread the word anyone is welcome and post interest in our section if you like!!!!

WOW!

you bought 2 cars off michael.

trust me when i say that your farm isnt the only one this ute has been thrashed on, and that

the tree stump you hit also isnt the first one to meet the front of this car!

My newest battlescar on the ute haha

First scar was the rust and axe/tree limb damage (when we were fixing the clutch we through it would be fun to take an axe to it, it was indeed fun) then 2 mates of mine thought it would be even better to try body denting it, they used a tree branch 3m up to jump. That was funny to watch, not to experience.

Next was back before it had started raining and the paddocks were completly dry so sliding around would make massive clouds of dust that looked like crazy tornadoes, anyway i continued sliding after going a bit crazy and could not see more than 2m in front, unexpectedly I ran into a tree stump. Took out the front bar, light, bonnet latch and radiator but luckily we had an old fairlane lying around so was just a matter of swapping parts over ;)

And the newest one is the windscreen, the car wouldn't start a few days ago and was stuck in a ditch, so i was trying to dig it out in the rain, after a few minutes i cracked a shit and smashed the windscreen in with the shovel and here it is today:

nice and slippery :)

Love this car, it just never dies.

haha yea i've given him a fair bit of money, another sad fact, i've crashed both the cars i bought from michael :X

:dry: i know about the other crash, the broken radiator in the tray when i bought it was a bit of a giveaway, that and he told me. Only thing that shat me off was the dodge job he did on the clutch, he had only screwed one of the bolts on the flywheel in with the rest being barely finger tight...

Well I just paid the final instalment for my new set of wheels being imported from J Land. I am going through Alan @ nextmod (online based Canberra business that actually has decent prices unlike everyone else). So far everything has been going very well, great communication and is able to get answers from his contacts in Japan almost straight away. This is my first dealing with him but if all goes smoothly there will certainly be repeat business based on his prices, range of products and effort/communication. :D

Anyways here is a few pics of the new wheels Limited Edition Gunmetal Grey 18" TE37's ;)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
