So is TT even on for you guys now Timmy? It'd be a big call to fork out the $$$ required given the cars recent history.

And yes YT did an awesome job. YT in the HQ v Glenney in the VC v Weeks the VW will be awesome if it goes ahead at Adelaide.

Well he thinks its fixable, I don't... Its now overheated good and proper about 6/7 times with the new engine, its an all alloy motor and plugs look like it was running lean.

It was showing some signs of headgasket, but not 100%. Not milky oil, but it was bubbling from the radiator and the coolant smelt fumey, so I reckon cracked water jacket in exhaust port.

Alloy doesn't like that sorta heat and the old engine was a testament to that.

I have asked for an answer by the end of the week so I can look elsewhere if need be.

Not looking good though, and I cannot afford to keep wasting time away from work for DNF's.

On the positive side YT was AMAZING where I spectated Saturday/Sunday, drifting all the way around the spectator point on Hellyer. You would never think it was a Monaro the way he drove the thing!

Gotta laugh though, it was so short notice getting the Monaro organised and a navigator arranged that at the first service Hodgo was running around asking if anyone had a spare Roadbook or Pacenotes! Lol!

The other really impressive car was the Todd/Tighe Perana, that thing sounded so good going up Stowport Rd (think i have vid). Shame they missed the first stage cos the bloody thing wouldn't start, reckon they would have been up there for sure.

Not entirely sure, he stopped on Hellyer Gorge with a mechanical and had requested a tow truck, but when we drove from Warratah service back through Hellyer he had got it going and made it to Savage. Heard various reports that he had stopped again on Savage, but also heard he had gone off road so not too sure.

Alot of crashes thats for sure this weekend!

So Snowie...its been restored and now the asking price has tripled....shoudl have bought it and been one of the cool kids when it was going cheap

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
