Also similar damage and accident to our R33 in Targa 2009 on Strahan, although different cause. That looked pretty violent! We had winged seats and I am sure they saved us any real injury.

Our car didn't look that bad either, even when we got it home and took off all the damaged panels. The car sat under the house for about 6 months while we procrastinated about what to do. The more we looked the more damage we found though. A little crease here, a stretch on the seam there. Eventually decided to reshell (albeit into an R32) and very happy with the outcome.

The guy who took the damaged shell found so many more stress marks/fractures/creases in places we would have never looked, it confirmed the reshell decision as correct. The cost of repair vs reshell was similar for us too, although being an R34 this may be different for you. Choose with your head not your heart when it comes to repairs, although that's alot easier said than done...

Well Mark who i used to see regularly around the traps at tracks in Vic is selling his R34, It was always a tidy and well presented car with quality mods....and I cant believe his asking price!

Heard visibility was on the ordinary side of things for most of the event, would have to think MM would struggle to hold an event with such small numbers?

Apparently there was 11 entrants - but one was ineligible.

Anyways - I think they HAD to run this one to show they were committed regardless of numbers. They had cancelled their last few and there were plenty of stories going around that this was going to follow the same path. So I'm glad it did go ahead and I hope they stick around in 2012 and get more numbers.

Options are always nice - especially since these events are far more accessible than Tassie as a rule (at least they are for us Mexicans). I might have to try and make the Baw Baw event in Feb.

But I must say - if the weather up there on Sat was anything like what is was in Melb then it wouldn't have been much fun!

Weather was horrible at the Alpine as well. We lost both our cars, one ate a tree and the other went head first roll over into a gorge >_< Damage was freakishly small for the roll over (thanks to the soft brush it went into) but the tree eater will need some work/time. :)

Which cars were you working on Roy?

Did you see the tassie boys in the Dirty 30 (R30 Skyline?)

Yeh, the 4 door? I was the drunk out front of their place at 11pm Sunday night. :) I was looking it over when they saw me from their living room and one of them came out and chatted. They had a gearbox problem but got it all sorted and finished the event.

Unfortunately Tim had an issue with brake pedal which put him out Sunday morning. I was hoping he could give the EVO's a run. Two cars (EVO and WRX) went off on the very first run at the same spot, Arnolds bend, with the WRX retiring with body damage. That run did not count in any case as it was supposed to be an acclimatization run!

Yes Blaise, turnout poor, weather even poorer, but total satisfaction re organization and delivery of event. Well done to Peter and Tim of Mountain motorsports.

Yep, hear you Serge. I hope they get the support at future events as its always nice to have choice. Would be a great option if i was a little closer. :) I guess the challenging conditions make it more of a test. Had meant to ask if anyone from here made it up there.

Ouchy wah wah!!!!

Not sure if I could think of anything more embarrassing! :(

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
