Saw an immaculate early 70s Ford Capri Perana at my mechanics workshop.... immaculate interior, paintwork, the engine bay was detailed and it had a 6 litre v8 with twin weber carbs.... I barred up...

Also saw at the same place an original XB ford falcon with a vortech supercharger.... the paintwork is original and looks like shit but theres a lot of work done under the hood... aussie muscle at its finest

And also at Road n Track, an original 1st generation Ford Thunderbird Convertible.. (1957-59) ... so hot... I love the older cars when theyre kept in good nick, and this example is an LHD with the original orange paintjob and white canopy, white wall tyres and orange rims too

Wish I had more cash... would love to collect some classics ... different philosophy to a GTR of course but they make awesome cruisers/street machines

-D

who would want a Turd bird.. those things are pure crapola

if I had it it would be "up for sale" ...hahahaha

Could have been me if it was about 1-130, went down south road, parked in maccas and walked up to nissan to order some bits, walked back and drove up Sherriffs Road. Also spotted Nugzy31 at work today.

btw say hi to sue for me lols

Across the road from my work.... took me by suprise! :D

Hah nice pic :mad: Yeah I'm going to be there semi regularly from now on... think I saw your stag there last week... atm I'm overhauling their IT and doing assorted work on their infrastructure... gtr looks quite different without a wing... not bad, but Im still keen to get the wing back on there

Getting the boot spoiler resprayed Ben?

yeah, had the front bar and the rear bar resprayed on the weekend

spoiler is a 2 part mould and the insides have started to give way, so the dude is separating the mould, scooping out the expanded shit and bonding them with fiberglass

n1 spoiler i bought off blue32 couldnt be salvaged sadly, but for the price he sold it to me, i cant complain anyhow

so i wont be rocking the n1 spoiler to the shows but should be decent... spoiler goes on this weekend (pending confirmation) and getting a couple dings in the boot and bonnet resprayed at the same time...

few months time I'll get the door seals replaced and might get further touchups - who knows how many chips i'll have incurred. gonna eventually get the lip for the front spoiler resprayed and fitted but not till i can a) locate replacement plastic underskirts/ducting and b) till the suspension gets raised. I dont care what none of ya'll say, I'd rather have no lip than to scrape the lip (or have to slow to 2kph to negotiate a simple rain duct - f**k that yo)

gtrtech has some stock suspension i'm keen to buy but i keep getting one expense after another *sigh* working 4 days a week sucks too

I think I'll be getting my bonnet and boot spoiler resprayed, The bonnet has one tiny weird mark on it and the spoiler has like crows feet marks on the sides only a tiny bit but it shits me lol, undecided wether I like the N1 boot lip haha.

I have some Tein struts not coilovers that seem to sit higher then your car does snd they handle awesome and dont knock or rattle and aren't over firm either, they're winners.

Only replaced because a set of Tein superstreet coilovers came up for sale cheapish haha,

Throw me an offer if your keen I can get pictures of them too so saves you coming out your way to see them only to not want them haha

that could be an idea eh, if the suspension is good and legal i'm always interested ... will have to get it tested first of course

and if u have an n1 boot lip u wanna get rid of, lemme know ;P fiberglass copies are $185 but I'd rather get an original

I would rather an original too man,

Them carbon fiber ones aren't too bad actually.

By all means install the struts and see how they go and if you like then sweet.

    • Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it. 
    • Best bang for buck at the moment would be a 86/brz. Good chassis,  plenty of aftermarket support and parts everywhere.   I just picked one up with some quality gear and it drives better than my old 180sx.    Also depending on what your doing and budget.  An a90 supra is my pick if want to spend more. Great chassis, solid motor, gearbox is good. Development potential is crazy. They are doing well in prod sport and time attack. All the old jdm stuff needs alot of work as most of it all bent and over priced.
    • It's basically the same platform, hence why everything bolts to everything else Kelford camshafts were recommended by Mania after they asked me what I want the car for, I said "I'll thrash it around daily and maybe take it to the track for fun" 🤣 Factory NC 2.0L cam specs: - Adv. Dur. 256 /256 - Dur @ .050 205 /190 - Lift 9.42mm/8.13mm So, as I know nothing about cam specs, all I can say is the numbers are different and it should get a little bit of lope....🤣
    • Depends on how extreme, however if you look at SMSP, they're all dominated by Hondas and M cars on amateur/street car events. 
    • Without better pictures, it won't be possible for anyone to work it out further than we have.   Start measuring, EVERYTHING. Thickness of flywheel, and all around it. You want to know is if everything parallel. If from the face of the pressure plate (that bolts to the flywheel) if it is parallel to the pressure plate face, then something is NOT parallel or equal elsewhere. Or you've bent the shit out of the fingers in the pressure plate.
