Wow, surprised I remembered my password for here. Sold the garnish and most of the gear pictured at least 10 years ago. I have other stuff, but I’m keeping it all as it’s suoer hard to find any of it nowadays.

Price drop $2200, no reg or RWC.

Item: 1986 D21 Navara 4x4 Dual Fuel Location: Melb Item Condition: Great for a 23 year old utility. 330,000kms. Paint is average in spots, but it's a workhorse and still pretty straight and looks neat. I'm just pedantic! Reason for selling: Looking at getting a different car. Something with more go than Grrrr. Price and price conditions: $3200ono Extra Info: Have owned this car for 2 years. Has a 2.4L Z24 motor on gas. Engine is a little tired compared to a freshy, but doesn't leak oil. Parts replaced since owning: -2 new tyres (Maxxis Bravo All terrain) May 09, 2 New tyres Mar 08 (Hankook DynoPro) 265/70 R16 (About $800 worth) -Ironman Heavy Duty 2" lift kit (For extra load carrying.

There's probably more Have taken this off road very rarely. Maybe 2-3 times in the whole time I've had it. Owner before me had owned it 10 years and was from the country, so it's done mainly highway miles the last 12 years. It's a fun and handy car, but I'm really missing something that has more go. Car has working Aircon, CD player (can throw in an amp if buyer wants it), tow bar, driving lights, stainless muffler and 2" or 2.25" exhaust. Can also provide a challenge flexiglass canopy that needs a little work to fit back on the tub and also comes with Tonneau cover and frame. I will not provide RWC but may include reg depending on sale price Feel free to ask questions here, If interested, contact Via PM for contact details

got an account going, but can't access any of the links put up

bah...I don't have access to a "real" email address to join R31skylineclub That was why i tried here

Hi guys, Have been toying witht he idea of building an R31 tow car for the odd Winton and Heathcote trip and have been looking for info on fitting a VH series motor into an R31. I know it has been done before, but info is very scarce. Essentially, I'm after info on compatible subframes, gearboxes (would like to keep it auto) and I guess any pros and cons to do with the swap. I'm not after anything more than having it as a daily driver that can tow. Why R31? Because I want my tow car to look like a big version of the car it'll be towing! Any help would be appreciated Cheers Mika

I was standing on turn 3 when Kubica and Vettel hit eachother and it really looked as though Vettel tried to give Kubica the squeeze. I haven't seen a replay, but I think vettel was trying to shut the door way too late. EDIT: After seeing this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQdiGI7b2dY and http://www.motorchili.com/video/3325/F1-Au...nd-Kubica-crash, I stand by my original comment. Though I do think Rubens deserves a similar penalty.

Mercedes Power!! Good to see someone new up the front (even if it was Button), and both Ferrari's pointless. next two rounds will be interesting! Now who's lol-ing?

The actual numbers for job listings are down massively. Most places are cutting numbers. I know in my field horticulture/landscaping there aren't too many jobs other than the unskilled ones associated with the field.

Don't think the black R34 that was there on the day was a member, but if you were, Thanks for coming! We raised $1000 from about 25 cars which, by comparison with other clubs charging $20 entry fees, was pretty awesome.

No, the nissan stand was crap. If it weren't for the GTR and 370, of which they tucked the GTR away at the back, no one would have even bothered taking a look. They had a counter with a stack of promo posters for the 370 there. That was it. Most other manufacturers had merchandise and staff actively handing out promo stuff and talking to people, but nissan had next to nothing happening. WHen they ran out of posters, the girl just added another stack to the counter and stood there.

Usually it is around 7pm (i.e. a long day!), but it's up to you whether or not you come through the Otways on the way home after lunch. Most people go there own way home once we stop in Colac for those needing a refuel. I can't remember exactly though as I've had to stop to bail people out from car issues the last 2 years. I do recall the sun still being up when i got home previously though!

Depending on how many raffle tickets we sell, the Signed GRM shirt and cap will be raffled otherwise, ALL the following items will be auctioned on the day:

order new ones and say your old ones were damaged in an accident. Technically, you can't do this as it means there is more than one set of your plates in circulation, but with custom plates, they are probably hanging on some kid's bedroom wall.

I also got one of the other raffle prizes today, ~$100 worth of Autoglym car care gear!

North and west meet point times have changed: Northern suburbs meet: 9:30am, Depart at 10:00 sharp Campbellfield Macca's on the Hume Hwy (the one at the Mobil servo) (mel ref. 7 F6) Western suburbs meet: 10:15am, Depart 10:40 sharp Macca's on the Western Ring Road (EAST). The one heading in the Geelong direction! (mel ref. 40 C5) If you miss people at these meet points, just head to the next one.

I thought Leon was awesome. Everytime I saw him get the ball he did something effective. He's up for a massive year...Copeland Trophy massive. Looks like Cook and Toovey have worked out how to play football too. I used to cringe everytime they went near the ball because you could see the turnover coming, but it looks like they're a little better. We'll see how they go when the real season starts.

Seen a fair few people throw their butts out the window, as well as a few roadside fires (2 on the princes fwy near werribee and one on my way to canberra on the Hume) since the bushfires started a few weeks back. Makes you wonder how stupid some people really are.

Hey Jules, should probably add that some of the prizes for the raffle will include an 4GB I-pod Shuffle, Garry Rogers Motorsport team gear and other car related items. There will also be an auction of some piece/s of Garry Rogers Motorsport V8 supercar, signed by the team. I believe a the crash leftovers of a rear diffuser and possibly a rear bar, still need to confirm what exactly we're getting.

From memory JDMyard have copies of a lot of old style wheels in 0 offset. Sold under the sportmax brand.

I'm there Just not in my car.

With the Mika/DC comparisons, whilst I like DC, Mika was a much faster driver than DC ever was. DC was always a solid driver. But I'm sure DC's view will come out when he writes a book on his F1 career as I'm sure he'll do! Nah, Mika is what all my friends and family have called me for years

The way I see things in terms of Ferrari people goes way back. I honestly could see no reason for anyone to hate Mika Hakkinen, yet there were always a lot of haters out there and I see the same thing happening here, It happened with Kimi also when he was with McLaren. Sure Lewis is a bit wet behind the ears in some respects, but I really struggle to see where all the hate comes from. Massa irritates me in most of his dialogue, but I don't hate the guy, just dislike the way he never accepts blame for any wrong doing. As for 2009, it will be really interesting to see how the drivers go with the new regs. Hopefully it brings some racing reminiscent of the late Prost, Senna, Mansell and co. days.

lol That one is pretty good, but Canada was a while ago. Was a pretty stupid move though. I'm guessing that comment sounded really great in that brain of yours

Nah, you can, I'll just laugh at this pic below some more
