Bells line is usually my go to for a blast and unwind, but watch out for the native fauna - I had an issue last weekend when I tried to install a non-genuine Mitsubishi wombat into my Legnum VR-4. If you've ever wanted to know the fastest way to jack up a vehicle - hitting a wombat at 80kph is probably it. Split the front bar & felt it batter the floor-pan & undercarriage. Thought it was a boulder or log at first - doubled back to find out and was astounded to see it was actually a marsupial. Happened in east Bilpin - about 40k west I encountered another one but someone else had nailed him. He was still twitching so I went back to the car for my baton and finished the job. Just a reminder that speed doesn't only kill those of us driving - but sometimes also the creatures that co-exist among us.

She looks pristine! Good luck with the conversion, as an auto-sparky the tricky stuff will be a cakewalk! Looking forward to the results!

Push through it mate - life is a clusterf**k sometimes. You're stronger than you'll ever know - and when the time comes - that strength will empower, and astound you. I'm dealing with this myself, having a passion / project ( my 32 coupe ) has been invaluable. Things are only insurmountable, when you doubt your ability to surmount them. Life is a relentless conflict - don't give up the fight #Lonesoldier. ( Edit ) If boost makes you feel, like it does me - get out there and feel some boost. Nothing makes me smile wider!

R32 GTS. Shunted. Write-off?
IpoopThere4Iam replied to IpoopThere4Iam's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Wetherill park, about 1K south of the reservoir. I haven't installed those injectors yet, but they look immaculate. Depending on the outcome, they may end up in another r32. 2 quotes so far, both between $3-4k. Have to plod through the whole insurance process now, will keep u guys updated. -
On my way home from work this afternoon. Stopped at an unbroken white line, waiting for a gap to turn left. A second or two later I'm rocked by a solid hit from behind courtesy of an inattentive driver in a late model 5 door Nissan Patrol. Rounded the corner & pulled into a driveway to exchange details and this is the damage done. C-pillar and roof-line don't have any discernible creases or dents, and as far as I can tell the floor-pan is fine. Boot-lid closes and latches, but with a decent gap on the drivers side and a crease on the underside where the boot surround has peaked above the tail-light. Tail, brake & indicator lights all functioning, still roadworthy. I've put a lot of time and effort into this car and am considerably upset by this, what do you guys think? Repairable or write-off? The Chameleon paint was laid on the June long-weekend, hadn't even finished cutting & buffing it.

What Have You Purchased From Ebay?
IpoopThere4Iam replied to Bronno!'s topic in General Automotive Discussion
I bought some violet metallic flake powder for a respray job on my R32. $25 for 25 grams, laid on a black base coat and added the flake to the clear at 5 grams per litre. Sprayed it in a carport with some tarps and it came up okay. Turns plenty of heads and I regularly get a thumb up ( IRL ) and sometimes even a " nice ride bro " out in the world. Custom Pearl Finishes is the store for anyone looking to do their own respray on a budget. -
