KowP - I suggest u stop bagging Sunny's :( I still have mine! In fact I drive it almost everyday day to work and back (1hr drive - one way)

Tis a lovely silver beast thats never missed a beat. Was my first car ......in fact the damn thing will prolly outlast me!

My first car exploded...complete with fireball and stuff...it was a proton persona. Started from the battery compartment somehow. Insurance company labeled it under 'disaster'...it took them a while to think of that. Luckily the car died quite a while before it caught fire. Didn't hit anyone, just died on me n exploded.

'88 Laser...sold it to a little old lady :(

she brought a male friend along to check it out, and he commented how it had good tread.... the tyres were nearly bald!! I just agreed and kept my mouth shut lol :)

I used to still see it heaps after i sold it cos she worked at a Harvey Norman near my work :) She even left the surfie sticker i had on it lol

my first REAL CAR..had some before but P.O.S..

My first car was a 1979 Toyota Carolla SE. the thing went hard at first, but when you had to have 2 guys hold you back in the gravel to do a burnout, there is something wrong there.

then a ford laser 84 sports, then a nonturbo silvia. and finally the best car, a SKYLINE! :):D

1978 TE Cortina, fieces brown 4 speed manual. Never ended up getting registered but served as an excellent get-around-in-the middle-of-the-night-in-a-country-town kind of car. Was sold to bogan for panels for his stacked 250 Cross Flow Cortina, also featured in fieces brown.

Then:ZA (I think) Fairlane 302, also never registered

1979 Sigma Wagon, complete with Dukes of Hazard Racing stripes and 69 on the bonnet. Many a road trip.

1993 VP Crapadore V6, fried the auto with mates holding up the back to do a burnout.

1993 Silvia Qs, why I didnt just get a turbo I dont know?

1997 Fairmont Ghia, Tickford susp and kit, Simmons rims, was a tag job though

1993 R33 200kws at rears

1987 AE82 Corolla

1993 R33, should have just kept the old one...

1989 R32 GTR sitting Japan awaiting DOTARS ruling on 15 Year rule.

    • I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..
    • I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share. 
    • Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.
    • Absolute Legend 🍻 After fighting with the scanned ones for the last 10 years this is a God send 
    • ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
