Its time for me to embrace the expoitation of the 3rd world, earn some money and try abd build something half as cool :laugh:

Absolute credit to all involved!

It pains me to say, can understand how the R33 will become the Oliver of the garage and orphaned :)

I don't really like the look of the gaurds, front bar and wheels. but I don't care - looks are not really what the car is about! I reckon it will look better with some schtickers to break up all the black. Can't wait to see it in person at Oran Park!

gotta admire them for doing Superlap as the car's first event... there is alot of serious competition at the pointy end of the Pro Class - Markov GTR, BSM GTR, that Evo (was it Bel Garage?), and the old Hi-Octane R32 GTR, and I'm sure JP's Zed will be faster around OP this year too! That's a big ask for a brand new car they're still getting ready less than 2 weeks out from the event!

Harry, to be honest, I haven't even considered if I like the actual look of the car or not funnily enough. The build quality and attention to detail of Mark's work (with other notable input) is what really stands out to me, as is the Aussie ingenuity that's gone into it.

You're very right though, to have the balls to effectively debut this car at a Superlap is a big call, but I have zero doubt that it will perform admirably. I can't see anywhere the car lacks, with the exception of some ground clearance for "the ripple strip" :)

excuse me for a minute.............

.................whimper.... sigh............ there is a good chance I'm touching myself right now

all black, massive widebody, huuuuge sidepipe... the japs would never make something that cool, they would mess it up by making it bright orange or putting chrome vinyl on it... way to go guys!

    • 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.
