Hey that Motokhana sounds like fun... I don't think that I can afford the entry fee however I will hopefully be cool to go down for a look... anyone else interested?? I wouldn't mind entering the one in Gracemere if it was a bit cheaper... it would be a good blast...

Hey and there was definatly a Skyline at the Drags with NOS... however a very good source also said that it wasn't all it should have been... maybe a bit more tuning or something required... but someone should definatly keep their ears to the ground on that one because it could be something to look out for...

Oh... and Jay I openly admit that I might be a tiny bit out of practice with my Wet Dorift action...... we only see rain once a century up here... new turbo, injectors and a health spot of 9 Pound boost as compared to 6 pound meant that the Silvia was just a tiny bit more sideways in the rain than normal... BUT IT WAS FUN!!!

Jay could you be talked into running the Cefiro at a Motokhana... I mean dorift event... no i'm sure it is called a bitchumen Motokhana... and it would be pretty fun to see the cefiro bagging in up...

Actually we should get Dev and Rick and Willo in on the action... it would be fun to have three GTR's at the motorkhana... It would make it interesting to see how they went compared to the lighter and more nimble 2WD's.... hmmm I think it should be done...

hey shauno... there is no great trick to getting your flywheel off... although I highly recommend that you have a mate on hand so that he can help hold the Flywheel in place... Just make sure you are pulling the socket at a neat 90 deg angle to the flywheel... the only time that the socket will jump off and reck the bolt is when you are pulling at the wrong angle... believe us... us spankers know about pulling at the wrong angle and how much it can HURT!... but it is definatly easier with two people on the job so you don't have to worry about holding the flywheel...

That is true Jay... but then neither do most of us... I was impressed with Zebal in that VL commodore... he had that thing pretty sideways... talk about Aussie drift... impressive.... and we have hurt that young VR driver bad... I don't think he knew what a handbrake was.... now he won't stop yanking on it to get a bit of 180 deg action happening... hey I guess there is no easier way to turn around in a hurry... But they were really giving it their all out there!!

Yeah it is definatly a sweet sight as that young aussie battler hangs the arse of his Commodore out, and in desperatation grabs his blinkers as he magically comes smoking out of the corner in a blaze of tyre smoke and a small dab of fear... it is almost music to my ears... such a sweet sight... I remember when I did my first drift...........................................................................

Hey you have to talk to Willo about upgrading that Internet Site... it is about time we got some more info for him to put up... actually when we catch up tonight we will through some ideas around...

Are you going to get willo to come for a Lap or what... Cefy with new wheels... a couple of GTR's what more could the lap scene in Rocky need...

Actually to all that didn't see it... check it out on www.garagespank.tk under members... when it had 18" 5 spokes on it... It looked Jap Racer... very very cool... but now he has big shinies... and it looks pimping... very very cool... have I mentioned that Squizz's Cefy looks very very cool!!

actually other than Nismo and Jishwa every one of us Spankers has over 17" wheels... most of them being 18".... that is very very cool... very cool...

Hey Jay I just have one question about your info on the members site... what exactly is R24 Bayside Blue... is that any different to R34 Bayside blue... it just I'm sure it's a cool colour... is it anything like a Maxima blue... you know... the colour you get from DC motors favourite Family car??

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
