Nice. Perfect rally car. Put 4 seats and harnesses in it and put the hat round 4 mates and rotate round the car stage by stage???? :) ...all the while munching down rumple scrumple.....

Was talking with Dan Ford about this a while ago about this when we were toying with a C5 Z06 and I'm sure he said they have to pay the LCT on the C6 Corvettes they bring in.

I think $50k was the cut in point? Was also saying that the customs boys are pretty clued up on most cars values these days, so trying to sneak something in as a "bargain" will probably only end in tears..

I would check with Dan for you but have no idea which country he is in today? He'll be back in a couple of weeks.

Thanks mate :)

What pogo sticks is she running and is the under bonnet colour factory or has it been painted race-spec silver?

Will you get a chance to give her a run in anger prior to heading down?

I spotted that one on MY105 and got a bit misty in the duds, would be a good, albeit mildly expensive, base car.

Under the bonnet is factory silver. The whole car was that colour standard, found some action footage of it on the TT01 tape!

It has only got some Koni yellows at the moment, all pretty standard. i will probably upgrade to some of the new Murrayflex Blue when I have some more $$$'s and time. I really hope to have it going again in a couple of weeks and get a test day at Lakeside before we leave, but see what happens. If it all turns to poo I will just take Mel's GTR down, not a bad backup plan.

Word is it was a self defence would obtained when he told the little lady he was taking her car to Tugga High flamin mongrelry.

I'm confused..... Might go and drink some bundy rums and improve my queenslander speak and see if it makes more sense..... :)

Paul Poolheaters has ruined his hand the poor bugger.

Word is it was a self defence would obtained when he told the little lady he was taking her car to Tugga High flamin mongrelry.

Yep she's pretty fiesty that wife of mine, swings a good frypan!

The GTR is basically ready, but the wrist is not so good. In a fancy splint for the week, then some nice big injections and see how it fares? We'll make the call early next week if I can race or not. All pretty depressing really.

If the GTR isn't used at High Country there is talk in the house of putting it up for sale, no immediate use for it in the near future..

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
