Ashneel - Those photos are great. Your camera actually makes it look like we had cleaned our cars.

Hamish - Apparently my car is not meant to shoot flames out the back says the mechanic. But it happens on FNTF.....

never actually saw your flames Bart, but when we'd come around a corner and there was grey-ish exhaust, your car was not to far infront!

there was a point where bart got up it and the smoke cloud was MASSIVE!

nam and i were just driving along and then there was this huge cloud of smoke and the car in front of us literally dissapeared!

Awesome pics -- was a great day indeed. Besides a 180sx driving in to me. Other than that, perfect! The weather was great, the roads were great and I even got to see the snow :)

My car needs a little bit more work, fuel and engine management wise, fixing the 4WD system and replacing my worn suspension bits and it'll be great. The list of things to do can go on forever with these cars though.

Does anyone have specs of Bart's GTR? That thing looks MEAN.

Good to see the blue beast back and looking mint mate :)

Well i can confirm Bart's NINJA trick... He loaded up and dumped that massive cloud on me lol. We were trying to get it on video but the SD was full and missed it which sucked. Also if you ever sell that GTR i call first dibs. it's sex.

thanks mate. your car came out great in them pics.

ok guys i dont know if you's all saw my car and what i thought was pretty minor damage after that smal accident

we had on that cruise.

well i just got a quote back from a guy at Mira Finish in dandenong and it is $1936.22.

man im so glad i have insurance

the other thing is that its not even for a new rear bumper? apparently they send it away to be fixed re moulded or something??

i would love to know how much damaged is on your car Curtis cause you copped the brunt of it all

post up and let us know when yours is quoted k

lolfag 180sx dude. luckily he had 3rd party or this ordeal could have been much worse. next time some random joins an official SAU cruise we'll just stop and let them pass or give em the old "GTFO".

W T F....where did u get that quote from italiazr1?? I swear from the naked eye is was just a broken globe and a scratch or two....$1900+ is heaps man...i guess they changing the whole rear bar, reo and all the lights, painting and blending the pain in with the guards and boot?

Wow...the 180 is so damn lucky he has 3rd party insurance ey....

well hope you and omega get your cars fixed and fixed perfect. Keep us all updated on how you guys go with it.

cheers

yeah i know Curtis's car (the other r32 gtr) is easily more than double mine..

front damage would cost heaps on the gtr i know cause i changed my front end to the gtr look not long ago

as for the 180 havent heard from him all i know is that we are all just car insurance customers

so i suppose they are the real looser's in all this.

ill keep you guys informed

Yeah i think i just covered most of that loss only a few weeks ago buying MY gtr

3k...ffs...3k in excesses on top of that

i hate being young :P

Hope your cars get fixed good though, sad to hear :D

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
