Damn Boy Racers Parking Alongside My Car...


Recommended Posts

Don't you just hate it?

A couple of pics i took out the front of work this morning.

It's actually a clients car, an amazing replica GT40. So much attention to detail.

Thought I'd just share this with everyone, kinda made my car look a bit like a bus in comparison :)

yep was farkin sweet in person.

should have seen the people flock to it, within 5 mins of him pulling up there was at least 10 people walking up to take a look - mostly school kids as you can see in the pics.

No need to be modest, it was really your skyline wasnt it they were all coming to look at B)

The latest one isnt supposed to be that great based on Jeremy Clarksons experiences with ownership. :)

most people use a 351.... i seen one once with a Chevy V8 in it and felt like kicking it... but hey... its not a real one so i guess it doesnt matter so much...

wonder how hard it would be to stick a RB28DETT in one :P that should piss a few people off.... if i win lotto im so doing it

hah it was classic on top gear when it broke down and they filmed him having to go home in the equivilent of a barina.

nice pics, and fantastic car.

lol, thanks guys, but i've gotta admit the gt40 easily pulls more than my 33.

the v8 did sound pretty nice, bit cackly at low rpms but awesome when let out a bit.

joked around about taking both cars out for a spin to see how i'd go...

The company that his was sold at but seems to have gone. Some gorgeous cars on there though including many Enzos etc. Well worth a look

Arghhhhhhhhhhh! Lovely! The orginal in the Gulf Colours gets my vote any day. Delicious!

the gulf colours are light blue and orange though? ohh i get it you are saying you would prefer the gulf colours to this ones colour!

Yes there sure are some nice replicas getting around. GT40s are a very sexy car that's for sure.

hmmm, somethings goin down at my work place today.

if it's not wannabe GT40 drivers, then it's a group of army reservists pulling up in front of my office on their day off...

no sh*t, 6 massive army troop carriers just outside my front window, crazy. obviously too scared to park next to the skyline tho...

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
