So I take it you didn't make it to the drags tonight then???

Amazing, after all the piss weak meetings we have had over the last 5 years, all of a sudden there is a mention of a few V8s doing a burnout or 2 & we get over 15,000 people at the Drags!!!!!!

Even then, we still get 1 1/2 hour breaks between runs to clean the track.

Was great to see some fast runs & all, & dont mean to winge, but for **** sake, when will we catch up to the rest of the country!!!

Anyway, glad you are back mate & look forward to seeing your Black beast out on some cruises soon.

Cheers.

damn, I didn't know the drags were on .... I was going to ring you to catch up for dinner or somethng - now I really wish I had! Damn jetlag - I crashed early in the end. You'll be pleased to hear I picked up 2 bottles of Johnny Walker Black and one bottle of Green duty free too :D

Have you got your demon running yet John? Haven't heard whether you made it over to Vic in the end or not.

The 34 is still a way off yet - I am going to really try to sell PCOTY now and get the 34 complied asap. Willl still be at least a month more though :P .... the darn holiday put everything on hold - but you get that. Will catch up with you soon.

not sure about the cruise Julian - I am thinking I will take the 200SX off the road, get some cosmetic items fixed, then try really hard to sell it. After I've sold it will get the 34 complied, then I am all good. So I might organise a big cruise for mid-November (as a realistic date to have the 34 on the road) .... maybe to Victor or something. I am thinking we should paintball while we are down there. What are everyone's thoughts? The only downside is I would have to get a minimum number of say 10 x $50 deposits before we go, as you have to book and make a deposit ahead. Start saving people!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
