  1. Still alive and living the dream in Portarlington, Wife bought a BMW 3 Series 328i Convertible Manual which we had to go to Gosford in NSW to get as it was the only Black Manual Convertible for sale in whole country at the time. Has some cosmetic details like new tail lights and BMW Angel eye headlights with BMW later model mags with Federal RS-RR's.

    Looks OK and goes OK but does handle near as well as my old R32 Skyline with trick suspension, and way better than the CLK55 AMG Mercedes.

    Got to get into the next GOR run with top down and video the action while wife drives. Hi to all who remember me......

  2. Great thread ActionDan, I enjoyed the time travel, glad you got "theOne" that you wanted. Some good info in here, just makes me miss my Skyine all the more, good luck with the 34 - I like it much more without the wing though!
  3. Too bad I just come back today after a few years so missed it. If anyone was there that remembers the old fart with the GTS4, Defected to the enemy:- I am still alive and trying to remember how to reassemble my old Mitsubishi Starion Turbo to maybe rejoin SAU http://turboclub.com/RTO/06100005/Default.htm
  4. Hi Ash, long time no rev. Anyone ever given any consideration to a limited membership that essentially gives Members-Only Forum Access and attendance at Events limited to viewer status or similar? I have sold my GTS4 years ago and moved to the country but would still like to support the club with a limited presence at a nominal cost. I suspect there are a many others that over the years have done similar but would still like to continue as members in a limited capacity. Or is it all too hard? Anyway, great to see its all still happening with you guy's, regards, Greg [orig. SAUVIC#55] Membership Fees: $70 for a new membership (12 months) $50 for a renewal (12 months from date of last expiry) If your membership has expired, you have 2 months to renew before your Members-Only Forum Access is removed.
  5. Great Job Sam! I would bring the wifes Familia GTX if it was not clutchless this weekend on a hoist. Dont have the Black R32 GTS4 anymore as you might remember. I think the new owner Anton may have had you dyno it though after he did some work to it? Catch you around sometime, thanks for all the great work.... Regards, Greg.
  6. You could always build your own like I did for $1200 - for LOOKS!

    My New Car!

    Was it me that started this nasty trend? Sorry After all I was not able to drive the AMG in anger till after getting used to it, then realised it was not a patch on an old GTS4! A cruiser NOT a bruiser in the twisties. My new ride even more a barge but more a posuer... But it may be part MB..

    Tiger Woods Saga

    Just a quick question... how many of you people have a wife that has had two or more children? Yes some women ( does not matter how gorgeous) go on to have more than two, but each one after was a pretty lone shot by hubby I would bet. Put a dollar in the jar each time after you get married till the second is born, then take a dollar out each time you do it from then on with your wife. You will leave a great inheritance of dollars......... Maybe Tiger didnt want to leave a great inheritance as well....
  9. Sorry Kailea, pickup only. asking $550 ono.

  14. Guys sold my GTS4 with GTR Fibreglass bonnet but have orig Black Alloy R32 GTR hood for cash and pickup in Melbourne - Northcote. Probably have a GTR grill in Fibreglass as well somewhere. Open to REASONABLE Offers. PM or greg[the @ sign]autolinkmedia.com
  15. I would be looking for a air/vacuum hose loose or split though it is rich. Check the timing as well asap.
  16. If it goes better when you back off from WOT then it means possibly that your AFR is out. Probably the timing as well. You would have to assume that if you have replaced a faulty Head/Block with OK replacements, and your bolt ons were running ok with your old Head/block prior to the faulty head problem, then somehow your fitting of the items causes the engine to not start. This could include the cam timing setup as well as the possibility of air leaks causing AFR problems. 1. RECHECK TIMING 2. CHECK for AIR/VACUUM LEAKS 3. CHECK FUEL DELIVERY & PRESSURE 4. CHECK SPARK
  17. I had a similar experience with ANOTHER seller that held me out for three moths on a paid for HKS Tubular Exhaust. I suspect he sold it to someone else as well and then had to find another one to supply me with which took him some time. I did eventually get it, so I hope that you get your goods soon as well. Hang in there... he may have personal circumstances causing the problem, no excuse not to contact you, but my seller did the same to me, but came through in the end.
  18. Pete, I feel your pain! Sold mine a while ago and still missing it. Have not spent 10 minutes in the garage since. Though I do still have the neglected Starion to start all over on again.....
  19. What about a REAL RACE Car? Ran inside the first five positions at Bathurst with half the capacity. Held the fastest speed down conrod before the chase was installed and is woth nothing these days. Except maybe to me and a few diehards... Japanese widebody is probably to expensive but a local one is better with the 4G63BT and Manual GB. Just make sure it has a LSD.

    Spotted Thread

    Saw a dirty but VERY LUCKY orange R32 going thru westgarth the other morning. First time I have ever seen 5 police cars in the space of 100 metres on the way to work. Two marked skulking around corners at the top and bottom of the hill, one camera car halfway up the hill and another two plains cruising back and forth. He did not see me waving at him, but for some reason took it extremely slowly going up the hill as if he knew they were around hiding!
  21. One trick I used to stop clamps blowing off my I/C SS Pipes was to use decent clamps but also get a steel tang srew driver and put the sharp end inside the pipe about 5mm and support it on something maleable and give it a hit which would put a neat protrusion into where the rubber hose slides over but let the clamp grip it when tightened. Not sure if that make sense but you get the idea.
  22. You could do this and drill a hole to fit in your piping and seal it like I did. Lot more here Lot more here
  23. Hi Juzz, the ROLLING DIAMETER is the only main concern so your AWD is not confused and starts to kick in. Obviously they have to fit in there AND be supported on the centre hub ring and NOT just on the STUDS. One way to tell you are getting a flat is you will see the AWD starting to be on all the time. I do have a set of unusuall anodised red mags with as new Yoko's off my GTS4 for sale cheap.
  24. Seems pretty bad in SA, when I went there a whiole back to get dynoed I was pulled over four times 'Just lookin' they said, and your a bit low for SA. Damn it was 10mm down! Anyway sold it now cause after the wifes Familia was called up by RTA by letter, luckily NO mods, I could not take the chance as EVERYTHING was modded. Then the barstards said the Familia had no baby seat mounts. I had been shown when we bought it so knew they were in there somewhere. "I have been an inspector for 30 years, and I know this Mazda does not have them so take it away and get it fixed!" YEAH Riiiiiight - whats this then? "Oh I must have forgotten that was where they were, get going, but take that GOR sticker off though"
  25. WEBBER! VINDICATED at LAST! AND with a drive through penalty that was ridiculous given the circumstances! But he still was able to keep his head together and stick it up the detractors at long last. Can someone explain to me why all these years watching him that he never gets hardly any air time weather he is fighting out a mid field battle or leading and kicking ass? EVERY other front runner gets many minutes of lone action out the front with the commentators bullshitting about how good the driver is to be so far out there while ignoring the close faught battle that Webber is probably having somewhwere mid-field. Then when its Webber out the front he gets about two seconds of air play while they concentrate on the mid fielders. We were even lucky to get about five seconds of the last winning lap and chequered flag. Have these people got something against Aussies winning!? Who else do they know who would have the balls to flip a AMG 208 Merc at 300 cliks TWICE (NOT his fault - shit, I wont drive mine at half the speed - its no Skyline) and still get in a F1 car and keep trying against all his bad luck!?
