Wasn't the bumper itself, it was the black under guard thingy that was making a horrible noise along Wanneroo rd... I fear I've left great chunks of plastic along the road just past Marangaroo drv... :w00t:

Mum told me about that, thats real bush mechanics spec there :w00t:

I know... My old man would be chuffed with my effort...

Go on fibrevision, match THAT using only twine, electrical tape and a pair of scissors! :rofl:

Lol. Yeh, i was thinking about the splash guard 2day, how it mite drop down. Sorry, I completely over looked it today! As long as you can drive it, and you'll be the laughing stock at the mechanics now.

Mum told me all about your visit, including running out of petrol... :w00t:

Hey all, Andrew got Yellowed on the Anti-Lag cruise last Friday night, and had til today to get rid of it. Last night He (Fei-Sti Rex), Mark (Marko_R34GTT) and yours truly (NA_Goodness) had to do some work to get it ready for the pits today, which he thankfully past, and the yellow is no more!!

In the 5 hours we were on my front verge, we managed to change his brake pads (the indicators had been grinding for 2 months before we realised what the noise was), swapped Mark's and Andrew's front bars, removed the side skirts, and changed his park lights (blew about 3 of them as well :ermm: )

Anyhoo, I'm just throughing some pics up for your entertainment. It isnt the best garage (on the side of the road in the pitch black ;)) but his car wouldnt go into my garage cos the front bar scrapes... Wonder why we're removing it? :P And it doesnt usually take me 5 hours to do brakes, but with no light, shit tools, no hoist, and two guys who keep distracting me... It took a while.

Enjoy!

And we had just put the wheel on, tightened it up, removed the jack, stood back to admire a job well done with the brakes, and...

and everyone...

NEXT BACKYARD JOB AFTER STEVEN'S PLACE IS AT BRENDAN'S... HE HAS A HOIST!!!

Yeh, the side skirts had a bit of double sided sticky tape, but didnt affect it at all. The hardest part was getting Marko's bumper off... Andrew's was held on with 4 screws :)

I have a large garage with plenty of lighting, except Andrew's car won't get in cos the front bar scrapes... Slight problem.

Cheers Ryan, I have more, but they're pretty shit.

Brendan, you have a hoist at your house??? Your not looking for a housemate who cant afford the rent... are you? (Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes...) I want a hoist :banana: Or at least a trolley jack, or a garage we can get cars into ;)

Mark, do you have any pics of your dodgy front bar? Didnt get any of the "paint" and I want to see this number plate mount :D

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
