Joel wants to do a photo shoot at Deca for this magazine feature he's putting together, thats the only reason.

I was thinking last night that there are plenty of pics of the car so maybe we could just photoshop me into the picture for the purpose of the article.

I am going to ask uniquecarsales.com.au for some more cash to keep the unique carsales on the car but everything else can now come off. The Yokohama will stay on too.

I can't wait to have it back to normal, I'm really sick of not being able to drive it anywhere.

Congrats to everyone who participated and those who volunteered their time to help out where they could.

I had a ball as usual. Buggered but fun none the less.

In the end, the dyno awards went to:

CDUKTV - Toyota Supra - 742rwkw

RH9 - R34 Skyline GTR - 662awkw

Benny's 180sx - 481 rwkw

CDUKTV and RH9 will most likely be at Final Battle along with the current record holder which is a Supra built by Millenium Motorsport in Brisbane which made 748rwkw on the gas to compete for the grand trophy.

It was only 18 months ago that 604awkw was the record. How times change...

Also congrats to SAU-VIC who scored a runner up trophy in one of the club categories.

Phew, i was gonna change my mind at the last minute and paint my 33 same colour, ive already "copied" your kit luckily i didnt do the same with the paint!! :)

Your car used to be silver yeah?

MissyK, is your car the RX8 with the EZZY plates? Any relation to the Astina?

Man i loved that car back in the day!

My rx8 is the red 1 with MISSSK.

EZZY plates on the orangy RX8 belongs to Ezzy Astina's owner :O

Yep yep, hes my best mate. He couldnt make it this weekend, hes back in Syd, so I had fun with his car. His astina still exists... in bits and pieces in his garage :)

MissyK owned the red RX8 next to the EZZY RX8. The EZZY car is owned by a good friend of hers.

And yea, the same EZZY as with the astina back in the day.

Ezzy nowadays is my 'advisor' hahahhaha

In remembrance of EZZY ASTINA, we put the EZZY plates on the 8 :)

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
