R31 Gagz

Hi Everyone, The GTR is now sold. Thanks, Craig

Yeah would have been pretty horrible Terry ...I'd say it's the actual event that led to the recall. Very unfortunate it wasn't picked up before something like that could happen. Always used to throw the rims under on the old R31 when jacking but once I got the stands I stopped as I figured that was the safety net, most of the time leaving the car on the jack after just letting it down onto the stands so there wasn't any chance off them being knocked over either. There have been times I've taken the jack away though for access and then its solely the stands stopping me from being crushed Anyway, hope this helps stop any more tragedies from happening...spread it to any other Aussie car forums your a member of that hasn't heard of it yet, that's what I did as I'm pretty much 100% on the Aus300zx forum normally (as much as I hate being part of chain mail, I feel this is a little different ). Cheers, Craig

I believe so, but I think any other brand stands with the same latching system would be worth investigating....I'm thinking I'll try and find a set like this, the pins would be far less likely to fail that a hinged latch...I think this is a good example where a simple system works better than an overcomplicated one, I wouldn't quite say the latch is overcomplicated but going back to basics is usually the best way to ensure its main purpose...keeping our DIY mechanics safe Cheers, Craig

Hi All, Haven't been on here a good while but thought I would spread the worrisome news...there's been a recall on Repco branded axle / car stands, I think the latch is defective on them. Mate of a forum member on the Australian 300zx club was recently killed when these exact stands gave way and he was crushed to death. I have a very similar set of Recpo stands that were also part of a package like above, but they are orange, 3T not 2 with a different, thicker latch handle and are 3-4 years old...still going to take them in though and have them checked...always better to be safe than very sorry Cheers Craig

Hi Everyone, Circumstances have changed (for the better ) and so there isn't an urgent need as such to sell the GTR...BUT my direction and goals in life have changed so she is still up for sale but at the old original price of: $34,000 ONO Cheers, Craig

Just letting everyone know that this is still for sale, open to offers (within reason ) so don't be afraid to ask. Thanks, Craig

Thanks guys, its appreciated Cheers! Craig

Hi Everyone, I am dropping the price, it is now for sale at $32,000 ONO. Cheers! Craig

Hi Rob, Yes the cage is still available, I'll give you a call tonight after work. Cheers! Craig

Thanks for the compliments guys, she really is a special car and it will be sad to see her go Cheers! Craig

Hi All, Both harnesses are SOLD. Thanks, Craig

Happy New Year Everyone! Just letting you all know she's still up for sale, you won't see an R32 GTR of this condition up for sale every day so don't hesitate to contact me if your interested Cheers! Craig

Bumpo....still up for sale...not expecting much interest being right before Christmas, unless of course you want to give it as a present to someone Cheers! Craig

?? If your referring to the mountain bike, no its a Ghost. Please keep replies on topic if possible and you should really only post if your interested in purchasing the roll cage Cheers! Craig

Hi J, Im in Bendigo, bit over an hour north of Calder Park in Melbourne. The rear arms bolt to the top of the rear wheel wells / arches. As far being legal for road use, I'd say no ...but then how many people have fully legal cars ....I think though that as long as they don't obstruct you from getting in and out of a car easily (so no door cross braces) and the parts of the cage you could hit your head on are padded properly to prevent injury they probably wouldn't care too much...its the same for harnesses as they make it harder and take longer to get someone out of a car in an emergency either by themselves or by emergency personnel. Cheers! Craig
