love it big boy. it looks just like I pictured it all those months ago. hard to believe it wasn't that long ago we were standing in the back of my truck ripping boxes open! and now all those boxes = 1 car. :D

it will be the star of the show wherever you take it mate. let's please take it to japan and show them what some hairy backed foreigners can build. :D (note, using the best japanese parts of course...) :D

lol, they don't need luck, sea captain. they have a GTR.... :wacko:

Yep I've had my arse handed to me plenty by Mark and Russ. Although we have done lots of improvements to the boat to catch up to their R32 times, possibly, then they sold it and went into hyperdrive with this R34 beast, and moved the goal post again. Go Russ and Mark, no good standing still, your hair gets swept forward from everyone passing you, or maybe catching up is my goal.

HEY GUYS

Sorry for the lack of updates, really busy getting it ready at the moment!

engine has now got a basic run in tune and hoping to get it on the track this afternoon to run it in for a few kays.

we are running out of time and lots still to do, so we will still be doing initial testing at oran park on saturday.

i will post some more pics shortly.

we have been busy trying to get undertrays and front bumper & glass etc in the car , along with dash configuration and wiring. etc etc etc.

i was happy with the initial dyno start up , we had no dramas at all and it seems like boost will come on very very early, we will know shortly.

cheers russ

    • Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible. 
    • So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).
    • If they are a standard parts that have been replaced with a new, or better part, they mainly go in the recycling bin at home if there's room, or into the metal or big rubbish bin at work Saying this, I have gifted or sold some random stuff over the years, but, if they don't sell, or aren't given away within a month or so, they hit the bin I use to keep everything, to give away when I sold a car or bike, but typically people didn't want the parts, and the garage, shed, and other storage areas would fill up with parts, that got old and keeping stuff for the sake of keeping stuff was not the best use of space I do still have a big box full of all sorts of nuts, bolts, washers and brackets though, which come in handy... "every few years" and typically only for other peoples projects 
    • @Duncan for the antennas for the 4G booster, send me a photo of the connection type it uses, and what sort of bands it picks up on, and a photo of the existing antenna itself. I have some interesting ones coming into work soon that may suit your needs really really well AND stop you drilling holes in the roof.
    • I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels.
