So just thought i'd come in and have a bitch about my day yesterday!

I was sitting around bored yesterday afternoon because i had the day off and i thought i'd go out to fyshwick to see J Racing about getting my front bar repaired.

Anyway i left J Racing and drove up to the traffic lights which were yellow so i started to slow down. Anyway the guy behind me in an EB Falcon didn't have any intention of slowing down for a yellow light and apparently didn't notice me slowing down either. So as an end result i now have to replace my rear bar which is completely rooted. Luckily there was no damage to anything else except the boot which doesn't close properly. I'm guessing the latch just has to be adjusted.

You should have seen the look on Jerry's face when i went back to J Racing and said i need my rear bar fixed as well now!

So my guess is the line will be hiding away in the shed for a while, until i get a new rear bar, get my front bar fixed, put new blinkers in, fix my stereo and if the budget stretches far enough put in an SAFC2.

You should have gotten the guy's rego and left it on the Volvo's windscreen.

I've had it done to me, and my car still has the ding in the side. I wasn't there, I just came back to the little surprise that was waiting for me......

I got a couple of pics of it so you guys can have a look. It was decided the bar can't be fixed so now i'm driving around without a rear bar until a new one turns up. They should have just listened to me when i said i couldn't be fixed!!

Also when the rear bar was taken off i found a towbar!!! :)

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
