where do u get a front grill like that? did it come with the badge or did u have to stick one on?

The grill came with the car. My understanding of this grill is that it came with all series 1's. Not 100% sure on that though... thats just what i been told by some ppl.

Now there's a step in the right direction, also car has come a long way mate good to see you kept it and continued to mod it. i think get rid of the wing and put a drift lip on the back, and finish off the rest of the kit.

Thanks man... only got sideskirts, review exterior side mirrors and rear-wing to go :D

Hey John, did you paint the dash?? What paint did you use?? How did you remove that shitty coating that is on the dash originally?

The current coat in the car was done by dan... I brought some stuff from supercheap and did it in dan's garage one night but came out disgusting. Dan brought some other stuff and re-did it for me and turned out to what it looks like today.

There is still a bit more to do with the respraying of the inside... wanna do the arm rest on the doors, etc as well.

John, your grill is a series 1.5 Otherwise known as the 'airbag' model ;)

PS. When are you ditching the shopping trolley wing?

PPS. Nice work :) I've been watching this car since you got it. Many late night trips to Yatala & random photo shoots with dodgy borrowed cameras later, it's looking schmick :D

well, did a engine compression test the other week at shanes and the engine is in perfect condition for its age and the k's that have been clocked up.

still possibly looking at doing a engine rebuild over the next few months though along with a turbo upgrade and highmount manifold.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
