Here is a picture before the cars untimely death. Picture quality isn't crash hot, it was dark when I took the picture.

There are some things that are not replaceable...material objects are. As Nizman said, he could have owed boxhead's mum more than some money for insurance

yes the car was sexy.... slow, but sexy.... and loud....

kamal - well, i dont know, we looked at some of it, and it looks quality...

lots of primer etc...

umm i aint sure how much, coz like, it was after i put it through a fence so i didnt see paint quote... i paid 1k on top of excess.. so i was real pleased at paint job tho..

Im shocked.... The padock looks the same as the one where you put it through the fence... But with no fence....

sorry to here but there are better cars in the fish bowl...

You'll look back on it in a couple of years and laugh...(maby)

i already am laughing at it... i mean it happened, being sad/angry or anythin wont change it, so we mayaswell look back at it and look on bright side, this time i will prolly get a turbo car :) mmhmm gts4..

Boxhead, Nizman, glad to see you're both OK, but don't take it to heart, cars trip over all the time for no reason (like my race car during my first race, guess that's why they have "roll" cages.)

The tragedy here is that a blue skyline has been lost:(

mmmmmm, very bad, yes very bad.

I rolled my 77 model yellow mazda 626 just after I got it, not because of bad driving, I just hated the car.....

I would like to offer my sympathies and my car for you to buy if you are interested.....?

cam thanks but 3 factors why i wont get you car..

a) its a gtst not a gts4, B) i dont think suncorp metway iwll give me that much payout and c) i think its a little overpowered for me at the moment...

i wouldnt mind having a look at the seat belt brakets to see if they streched as during compliance we take out the higrade steel brackets and replace them with crap yes crap mild steel brackets

im actually glad to see they held but i myself would feel better if the rules changed next year to leave the standard belts in place.

other compliancers know what im talking about here.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
