  1. Prettier probably won't be limited edition gunmetal grey wider track standard bremmies standard bigger wheels 260rwkw on stock computer, even more on cheater turbos Anyway it's not about stock but "building". I don't think SK defined his question well enough and we have once again slipped into the IPRA argument which is pointless. Just more CAMS (AKA Cretins Against Motor SPORT) bs trying to keep their mates happy and avoid realistic cost effective improvement to release modern motor vehicles competitive potential AND making a vehicle eligible in a number of classes. The reason I bailed Rally was the demise of Group G and the cost of bringing back to the new rules. Rally died a hard death for a lot of years. Their focus appears keep it expensive (or exclusive) enough so it's serious competitors only. Where is the class for innovation??? Or must it always be a feeding ground for the same old formula for the same boring old farts (Not SK or Harry) to pontificate on minutae that has no bearing on racing. If you want parity, watch super taxis or race a one make series. Some people want to take out a daily with some nice power mods and do door to door racing and not sprints. Targa Class from Tassie sounds the goods.
  2. Damn that's unlucky. A 32 that was actually a nice colour and not limited edition gunmetal grey.
  3. Black?? I thought it was dark green when I saw it at Dutton. Hard to tell from the pic. Nice toy http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/GTR...nt=HPIM0391.jpg
  4. In other words beeing seen to follow the process until it all goes quiet again. Just let me get on that council at Pine Rivers. I'll need to blow some wind up but my agenda will be Lakeside.
  5. That looks hard as Harry But yeah skidpan motorkanhas are too much fun.
  6. Mark, sorry I didn't answer that. I didn't mean to be rude. On bumpers and complex shapes I use Alclad paint out of the airbrush over gloss black. It can be found here at Snowy Mountain Models Altona in a range of types in their paints. It's super fine and needs only shaking then straight out of the brush. It deteriorates with polishing so you can have really polished areas and really worn spots. Around the sides and backs of the seats I used BMF in larger sheets to get a continuous chrome finish but not flexible enough to completely fill the detail on the sides. Still too ashamed of the disaster area to show it off. Haven't been doing anything so it's a horizontal storage space. I must mention there are some fantastic looking kits showing up. Well done to the builders. For those with an addiction: I recommend a good club, like mine for the Melbourneites. First Tues of the month at Bundoora Community Centre Noorong Avenue Bundoora At 7:30 First visit is free, annuals are $15 and $3 per club meeting after. This is coming up as well: Australian Model Expo 2006 Link clicky 10-12 June 2006
  7. Spence only got the aftermath with the smoke drifting away and you picking the stones out of the palm of your hands.
  8. Saw the Porka in the Race Driver mag. Apparently Aussie fastest track day car. Once again well done guys.
  9. Come along to the next club meet. Get there early and we can have a chat. Oh and the Mechatronics stuff was for Crispyfries.
  10. GTSts and GTR share the same panel filter. Use the airbox and make it breath well. The snorkel is often a restriction.
  11. Exactly Maybe the next DECA???
  12. Sorry, none left for now. Still a couple of weeks away if my machinist can get sorted out. For a quick one then try UAS. jake, a lock bar won't help your problem. check your power steering fluid level and if that doesn't help put HICAS into diagnostic mode (do a search for the procedure) and see what the error code is.
  13. Thanks for the update Benno. So when will RPMGTR run in something like this? You know you want to Damn that looked cold. We'd be burying the Brisnosaurus if he was left out in that.
  14. I thought one looked bloody familiar Dave...
  15. Neither. TE37 forever.
  16. So Bec, wanna give some insights into the newly discovered species Sauvicosaurus and their nocturnal activities???
  17. Left school after yr 10 Became a Jackaroo + working in pub cooking, cleaning and pulling beers Joined Army and chose the Infantry and did some specialities Changed to RAEME (Elec Mech Engineers) and specialised in rapid combat repair and recovery (had a really huge towtruck/mobile workshop then a 42ton Leopard tank recovery vehicle with 20ton crane), underwater salvage and did some recruit training Selected for Uni to study Mech Eng full time while also training officer cadets and leading adventurous training in abseiling/rock climbing/watercraft Fleet Engineer for Army Light Armoured Vehicles Project manager/program engineer artillery systems + Master of Engineering studies Assistant Chief Engineer ADF Land Weapons Systems Manager ADF Land Technical Integrity 20 years Army - Retiring hurt, need daily heavy drugs and can't really use my qualifications so eventually may do some home renovations, subbing out the heavy work. Also want to do vehicle engineering inspections and certification in Brisbane. Talk to me before deciding to join the military!! It's not the lifestyle it used to be. Justin, I can put you in contact with a mate who is a Mechatronics nerdy too and may have some opportunities. Let me know mate.
  18. Pics that Spence took with my camera. I'll get his later. PICS
  19. Is Chris saying "Someone chop me!!!" ?
  20. And Gareth wouldn't believe his lady when she said he was dancing with his pants down.....
  21. Get off!! It takes a spanner, some screwdrivers and a hands free brake bleeder with some brake fluid. Attach bleeder. crack off bleed nut just enough to allow fluid to bleed out under pressure. drive old pads all the way off the disc with screwdrivers while fluid bleeds out and pistons are depressed back into caliper. replace with new pads after a general clean up and inspection of rubbers, note location and orientation of parts as you disassemble. depress pedal a few times to bleed old fluid, top up fluid as you go and when clean fuid fills the tube on the bleeder tighten bleed nut. repeat another 3 times and test pedal pressure at end. test drive cautiously and bed pads in when satisfied brakes work fine. Monkey work for apprentices. If Racebrakes charge $90 an hour then the price is about right.
  22. You are hopeless Bris!!
  23. GTR Fat GTR. Photoshop is fun.
  24. BTW how much for the full rez Joel?
