Hey guys. Just got back from Melbourne.

Here is the roundup. Car is in Ok condition. It has a smashed front windscreen, the drivers lock has been ripped out and my left rear white wheel is missing. It looks like they took it for burnouts and when the tire blew, just chucked the rim somewhere. Also the fuel cap is damaged and they had stuffed newspaper down the tank. I guess they were going to torch it later in the night if it wasn't picked up.

They also smashed up the dash and the engine has an oil leak from the exhaust side. I hope it hasn't blown a head gasket or seal. Not sure what to do with the car. Depends on how much the windscreen is.

a20089 - I own you a case of beer or something. I will sent you a PM.

Thanks for looking guys. The police weren't much help and even after I rang them and told them were it was and could I take it, they told me I had to wait. They then organised their own tow which cost me $265 to get from the corner of Fyshwick to Fyshwick and didn't inform me until I rang them back to find out what was going on.

Cheers,

Brett

Good to hear you got the car back, now comes the fun part of finding what those bastards have left for you and what they have taken

Hey dude,

I got a few parts, PM me what you want.

Even got a front windscreen if you pull it out yourself.

Otherwise i might buy you car.

Hello

I had another look and it is not as bad as it looks. The biggest pain is losing one of the GTS2 mags. I have another set full set of locks already (just need to TIG up the boot hole) and I got quoted $200 for a new windscreen fitted. Just need the instrument cluster and handbrake cover. Do you have extras of these that you want to sell? Also, the steering rack is leaking oil, Don't know if you got a spare rack as well?

Goes to show how strong the RB30 motor is. It must have been revved hard to pop the tyres as they still had a bit of tread on them.

All my steering racks leak... I haven't seen one that hasn't(except new/rebuilt ones).

I don't have any s3 silo instrument clusters, whats wrong with it by the way? I should have hand brake covers... what ever they are...

Instrument cluster is smashed and they also ripped out the needles off for some reason. yeah, there is not such thing as hand brake cover. I mean't the gear stick surround cover. I might have access to one of these as well. i will let you know via PM if I need you to look. Thanks for the help.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By MBS206 · Posted

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?

      From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.

      Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.

      As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
