Spunkey Munkey had his wing sprayed there. Job looks pretty decent. Shouldn't have any problems with them i reckon.

Their workshop is pretty hard to find. It's at the back of this milk bar place along a main road. You won't see any sign or whatsoever like ' primal garage ' . Best to ring them up to let them guide you there.

Highly doubt it Matt, there's bit's and pieces of it all over Melbourne at the moment :huh:

Gearbox is getting done as we speak, as is the engine bay prep, and the engine is ready to go. It's just getting it all back together now...

I'd love to go to Winton though, if not only to see what you and Ray have going on now! :/

Hehehe. My car is slow. Ray is the one to watch.. have you heard his wastegate? fark i wouldn't be surprise if the guys at eastern creek could hear it :)

Looking forward to seeing you on the track again, I'm hoping to at least improve my times at Winton in Feb!

I don't believe you... :)

I see lots of part selling, which equals lots of new part buying haha I'm hanging to get back out there again, it's been way too long!

Is Ray's car back up and running again? I'll have to pop past and check it out/sabotage it :D

Yep, that's the one. The 180 that's in a million pieces... :D

SNISMO: They were doing mechanical work while I was there.

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      By PranK · Posted

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Anyone know what this front bar is for series 1 R33??

      By Rezz · Posted

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      High pedals r32

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
