Met up with Pete and his purple great grandpappy line today... and omg. I want one! Nicely restored car, with very sleeper looks and a roaring modern heart. Big fan of that sort of stuff, so I was well excited to get a ride in it today. As I told Pete, one of these days I'll pick up a Datsun 240K and drop an RB25DET and take it to a C110 GTR look.

I took some quality pics of his car too, but unfortunately I left my USB cable at home in melb, so I can only upload em when I get back.

Yeah, Pete's lil Marvin definately does turn some heads, esp at shows. :D

If your not having a big night on the Satday, you might want to take your camera down to ETSA Park - Mile End at 12noon on Sunday to check out the cars for the Megacruise. Weather permitting ther's an expected 200+ cars from various clubs.

im glad you like the cruise, shan.... it was good meeting you too... and you are right marv is one very unique car........ have a good one in adelaide and i hope tro catch up with you again soon... will definately be lookin you up when i come to melbourne and have to keep in touch....

have a good one.... Pete

hehe just checked out DA's website and there's a round in May over here. So I'll try to come down for that in either the AE86 or the R32. Will Marvin be sliding as you planned by then?

Met up with Darren (Deluxe) yesterday, and went Performance Shop shmoozing. I'll be trying to get some Zenith products to fit on the silvias at Driftline (www.driftline.com.au) and had a chat tot he guys at D1 garage about existing orders and future orders.

hope you enjoyed your stay in adelaide hope to give u a ride in a 33 GTS4 the next time ur over ...

:thumbsup: still havnt got my car back from the crown gears being mashed from wot i suspect was ignorance on my behalf ...

driving with a space saver when my other rims are slightly larger

although Pete from willal racing claims he runs the GTR's arround the yard all the time on different rims and was amazed to hear of my problems so it may have been fatigued gears :S

Blew my clutch today... lucky had four mates in car to push it home... Although hills were a pain!!!!!!

Got some awesome footage...

Hope it wasnt my Vspec diff or i could be saving for a long time to get it fixed.... Anyone know where to get one or how much they are?

I prob needed a stronger clutch anyways (triple plate here i come!)

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
