I'll be heading to Robertson pie shop. If you see a short balding old guy smashing pies and cakes into his face say hi. I'll be in the 86

Got the delete fitted yet? Gonna block the bypass for some Sutututu? Or Hektiks

Although I enjoy the Nasho the Sunday traffic is horrendous, and finding somewhere for 10 or 20 cars to park up is near on impossible, plus, no pies, cakes or coffee. I'm a fat old bastard that thrives on pies, cakes and coffee. Logistically the Nasho is a easy choice for me as it's just down the road, maybe if we could organise a BBQ? Maybe?Parking? Closed due to fire risk? Total fire ban? Entry fee of $12.50, which is always noticed when the rangers of cops turn up and find 20 imports parked together, plus it goes to a good cause. Would need to get their really early to stake a claim/parking. There is "some" room here > Dropped pin Near Royal National Park NSW 2233 https://maps.app.goo.gl/vyNN9aSe6bMTCbJa9 In saying this the Nasho gets full and closed out regularly at this time of the year. What are the Execs looking at?

1. My go to: Robertson pie shop, typically enough parking if you get there before 1130. Pies, apple turnovers with cream and coffee + typically other cars and bikes to look at, plus multiple entry and exit options. The run home to Sydney, via Jamberoo and Kiama, is a sweet drive. 2. Road Warriors Cafe. Pies and coffee + typically other cars and bikes to look at, parking is limited on some days. 3. Ummmmm, Crashdowns place for mad driveway skids and fridge raiding?????

Sad but true But really, how much clearer can 92.9 ABC Classic radio be? But then common sense rarely gets factored into my plans, or even cross my mind really, ....but when it does I try to just force it down with all of the other bad things, to fester and boil, until it expodes in a tyrade of utter self righteousness.

I've not put a lid on a oil bottle properly and when it fell over in the boot it "rust proofed" the boot with a heap of oil, maybe something like that.

LOL

May buy some injectors "Apparently" there is another 30 safe killerwasps available running 98 but I need injectors. Hmmm, I may have found a Xmas present from me to the car. I was thinking of upgrading the speakers for Xmas, meh, decisions decisions.......

Looks sweet mate, epic skills, I take my hat off to you Should do mad skids

As I've gotten older, and from a life of doing stupid shit, there's things now that I cannot do, arthritis and prior injuries have taken their toll. My leg strength also seemed to always lag behind no matter what style of training I did, and I did them all. In the end my knees just said FU and they are now chewed out so bad that both really need some scrapping again or full reco's, my hips aren't much better. I've been seeing a sports physician for years, Balmain sports physio clinic https://www.balmainsportsmed.com.au/index.php/services/sports-physicians.html and have been told to only use light weight squating, and don't go below 90°, but to keep doing whatever I can as long as it doesn't agrivate anything. He told me as I am not a professional athletes who needs to squat 200kg, or pack into a scrum, to just focus on maintaining strength and fitness, either that or get ready for alot of surgery in the future. Recurring injuries are the pits, but, if you cannot fix them with mobility and rest then maybe you need to hit the muscle differently, or surgury, but surgury sucks, and from my experience the injuries tend to come back. I've previously had both knees scrapped, both rotator cuffs torn and fixed, bone removed from my left collar bone, a hangmans fracture in my neck (that sucked) and T fractures (these also sucked), apart from the hangmans these all happened from training, the only thing really holding me together now though is my training, but I still have good strength and power (the DB clean and presses are an excellent exercise for explosive power). If you can I recommend you budget in a "good" sports physician before the PT. In order I would go sports physician, then, if required, a sports physiotherapist, then, when all is sorted, a PT if it is still required. The important thing is to not wreck yourself for the future. I hope you find your fix.

I did say I was opinionated, plus I'm at work with nothing better to do. Program design for what, running, football, martial arts, powerlifting, general fitness? Injury avoidance can be put into three camps, mobility, form and "sensible" progression. I'm by no means qualified in anything, but, my job has the advantage of enforced fitness (Defence), run by qualified PTI's. I have access to them for all and any fitness or strength related questions, in saying that they focus more on fitness than just strength, but, they are trained in everything from someone who wants to start or improve their running, to someone who wants to get into Olympic lifting. Typically the PT sessions they run are a mix of crossfit for strength and cardio

Advice in relation to what? Mobility Strength Fitness Sport Every forum has their own opinions Power lifting forums typically focus only on strength, working up to an event, or stripping to get to a weight class. Body building forums are full of opinionated angry arseshole or newbs. In the end if you sieve through the 98% of regurgitated or misinformed vomit you can find some stuff that is actually helpful. Be aware, all of the PTI's with their online course diploma's and/or certification are not worth the paper that stuff is printed on. Talking about opinionated arseholes, my old man (54) strenght training program is going well, well, I really need more cardio. A. Agile 8 then Superset BB flat Bench with bodyweight rows (feet raised) 10 x 10 1 arm DB clean and press 5 x 3 DB Fly to pull over 5 x 10 Face pull 5 x 10 B. Limber 11 then 1 arm DB row 10 x 3 Superset BB shoulder press 10 x 10 with BW Chin C. Fluff day, biceps, triceps, alot of mobility and stretching, be that creapy old guy looking at the girls, LOL, just joking, but seriously..... D. Limber 11 then Superset Squats 10 x 5 with BW glute ham raise (my heavy squats and deads are not what they use to be, my knees hate me and I need to watch how much load I put on mt back nowdays as well) I usually do AB then a day off then CD then 2 days off. Cardio is walking and pushbike, I need to do alot more. My diet is fairly good, I do drink to much beer (because bulking bro) https://www.defrancostraining.com/upgrading-the-agile-8-mobility-routine/ https://www.defrancostraining.com/joe-ds-qlimber-11q-flexibility-routine/

Cool trophy, what's its story? Congratulations

I wouldn't call the RS4 or a AD08 a "track tyre" with a 200 tread wear ratings. I would concider them an excellent choice for a R32 running 225, I would hazard to guess the car is not a daily, and driving around whilst it is raining would not be a big enough reason to justify sacrificing grip on the off chance you get caught out in the rain. Performance tyre, yeap, most certainly, but there is no way in hell I would put any "all season" tyre on anything other than the Mrs car, or a taxi. Hell, I hate having RE003's on my 86, the drop in grip from the old RS4's to them was quite, um......alot, but the RE003 are better in the wet, and with the Mrs and kids driving the car I wanted a bit more fudge factor. In saying this I was quite happy driving the car in the rain/storms/winter on the RS4, they were great on the 33, MX5 and 86. They were OK on the track for a lap or 4 in the 1540kg 33, but anymore and they tended to get slidey, they did last longer on the MX5 though, but that only weighed about 1000kg, and only had about 5hp. But, yeah, meh, opinions and stuff, plus my driving style could be better, and the setup on the 33 could have been better. I really need another set of rims to put some RS4's on. I can see it now. Mrs: can I take your car Me: sure, you just need to swap the rims honey Mrs: what???? Me: I'm swapping them now honey Kids: hahahalolololhaha, sucker...... Me: sigh

Give me booze Thanx

Sticky and good in the wet, tricky combo. You could try Bridgestone Potenza RE003 225/50 16, they are a compromise, OK in the dry, OK in the wet, but pretty cheap. If you can sacrifice wet grip Hankook RS4 225/50 16 are great in the dry, but average in the wet, cheap tyre as well. I did replace my RS4's with RE003, but I'm RWD and the Mrs and kids also drive the car, if it was just me I would still be running RS4's. Just drive to the conditions and the RS4's would be my pick.

I don't know, seems legit. We could call it 3D Computer Aided Design.......or, 3D CAD for short, could be most useful I will invest all my belly button lint I have been saving up to ensure we get it copyrighted before someone else steals this new and innovative idea.

Yeah, no airbag steering wheel says no as well. It's like the "street class" drag cars with full cages and other fun things, all well and good until the constabulary or RMS get involved, then it's just another unregisterable race car. There was a joint in QLD that did vented FRP bonnets that meet standards, stock frame for support, and pretty thick, you could get a carbon layer over top of everything for the looks. http://www.blitsbodykits.com.au/nissan.html I got one for my old R33, the engineer back in the day was happy with it, bloody heavy though, twice as heavy than the OEM if I recall correctly, the vent did work well though and kept coolant temps in check. This one, long ago sold, and converted to auto ?, it is frequently seen roll racing > Alot of things have changed since I got my old R33 engineered, it's a over the pits affair now, real engineering and upgrades are required , as well as emmisions testing. Meh.

I just had a rude shock IRT how much it costs and what hoops need to be jumped through to get an engineering certificate in NSW now days. Whilst that 45k car has all the good bits you could never legally register it in NSW without dropping alot of serious coin.

Proof of this statement. Or are you psychic. Or just angry. Car looks clean, proof will be in inspection. GLWS

Americans started importing. Fan base exploded. The market now is huge, the numbers of cars is not. American population = 330 mil give or take Australian population = 25 million Price is dictated by demand. Look how much clean GTT and GTST's are going for. I was googling and found some joint in Japan sitting on alot of Skylines, it seemed they had hundreds of 34's just waiting. Maybe like those guys 15 or 20 years ago who grabbed alot of Ford GT's when they were cheap, and done some shifty selling amongst themselves to pump up the prices, hence the million dollar XY XW GT's. Maybe, who knows, I'm bored sitting in a waiting room to see a dentist....

Just drive it, and.......if you have garage space, best best would be to buy a turbo car and work on it until you can drive it. If you don't have garage space just keep saving your coins. If the model of car you want comes in a turbo version, buy the turbo version. Unless you like pissing away money, and you don't care about resale, registration, insurance, etc. etc.
