09-10-09, 08:19 GMT+10#383 Haha that's hardly a just statement. I towed it to Victoria because I wanted to race it and was scared I'd break something, so it was insurance more than anything. It's unregistered, too, which doesn't help.
More than anything though, I put that car together myself and I'm a journalist, not a mechanic. I'm as white collar as they come, so I was worried about it making the trip! jks

27-10-09, 08:06 GMT+10#386 Finally registered the thing and took it into the city on Saturday night. Wasn't the easiest drive considering it's running so rich it fouled plugs if you didn't give it a hit every so often! Yeah standard computer!
Needs a Microtouk and a tune, badly...

28-10-09, 08:01 GMT+10#388 Yeah man, hit George Street and then wound up at Lady Mac. Like I said, it wasn't easy thanks to the plugs fouling but it didn't die, luckily! We left pretty early, around midnight or so, because Basa from 2SUS got defected in his IS250 so we made tracks back to their area and hung in Granville for a while
I doubt the car will come out much now until the computer goes in... that is unless a change from Iridium plugs back to copper can help drivability a little...

25-11-09, 06:41 GMT+10#389 Spent some time last night replacing the zinc-plated gold guard bolts with new stainless, allen-headed bolts in the interests of continuity.
Starts like this:
Ends like this:
And some random bay shots:
The bay looks a bit 'meh' at the moment because the exhaust heat shield is off and the hot side of the cooler pipes are still being redone at Plazmaman. Should be fully operational by the end of the week, though!

27-01-10, 13:28 GMT+10#392 I ripped off the overflow bottle, too many c*nts filling my Powerade with Haterade!
Also been cruising it a bit. Lopped some coils off the back, needs at least two more. Will wind the coil overs in the front down at some stage too...

27-01-10, 13:52 GMT+10#397 Thanks guys! I'd love to do colour coded wheels but if I did they'd be genuine AMEs with a polished lip and a colour coded centre.
Patch, like most things on the car, all the winscreen wipers do it look good. The wiper arms and motor are there but not connected and as you can see we've got the washer jets in place but no reservoir for fluid or hoses...

27-01-10, 14:00 GMT+10#398 You have two RBs with 4 cams between them. This is not adequate.

27-01-10, 14:03 GMT+10#399 lol wait, you have a skyline?
perhaps you could meld both engines together creating a 5.5l quad cam 48 valve 6 cyl super engine

27-01-10, 14:09 GMT+10#400 Jack you have no RBs. By my count that makes you < great.
Bill I've got an R33 for a daily. It spun a bearing after too many burnouts so we built a 25/30 for it.
