Yeah saw the sign on the way past the other day... they've been there for as long as I can remember.

It'll be weird not seeing a whole stack of imports on the corner... a bit like it was weird when they went from selling Yank tanks and almost nothing but V8s (mate) to being virtually 100% turbo imports lol

WOW

I went past the other day and I didnt see a sign...

Thats a shame... I guess if it was due to the tunnel then they would just move the car yard...

If their not moving then one can only assume that their funds $$$$ are drying up.

i hear nothing but bad stories about street machines these days

last time i went there with a friend who was skyline shopping, the salesmen were rude, obnoxious, and stupid

salesmen? what salesmen? lol

i've been there a couple of times lately now (looking for cars for my brother) and you can't raise a salesman in that place if you try!

we were genuinely interested in a car, wanting to talk to them about it, and they couldn't be bothered leaving their little airconditioned office to come out and talk to us......

having said that, my '32 was bought through them by the previous owner back in 2001 (found the receipt in the car after i bought it, lol)

maybe they weren't making enough profit off all their Delicas? :(

also, are they having a 'closing down sale' where i can get a car cheap? :P

I for one am glad. Not allowed to post opinion on the forums but my glee should show how I feel.

Now if only a couple other car yards would close down I'd be the happiest man around.

Heres to closing down, and not just relocating :P

we managed to root one out by checking out a 34gtr they had on display

"hey guys get out of the car and don't touch it"

f**k youuuuuuuuuuuu

i was there looking at buying the gunmetal GTR , the sales guy youngish bloke was rude and didnt really bother .. Theo on other had is a awsome bloke too bad he has crappy sales guys working

otherwise nice cars he has .. his brother Darren has nicer cars

John thats crap, it is going to be at the hospital as I have had dealings in this project. they are looking at running it down from buranda as well but if you notice they have bought a substanual amount of land in the area to facilitate this.

I know for a fact that the tunnel goes under the Boggo Road site as one of Mrbenno's friends is the engineer in charge of ensuring the Heritage listed buildings at Boggo Road are not effected.

dodgy imports?

u guys must have been doing it wrong

they sold us our car, and it hasnt missed a beat in over 3 years

i would go as far as to say, its the best thing ive ever bought

sooooo much joy, no negative stuff

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
