There seems to be a trend by the local police here... Every time they see me they pull me over. They have a loud speaker and they say stuff that i cannot understand.. For me when i hear that in the

Wow, what a journey!  She looks nice after the paint job, nice and white again!  I'm sure it will be pretty amazing to see it roll out of the container back in Oz!

What took you to Georgia in the first place?  Not a country I know a lot about really.

 

it was SAU's fault,  when I was posting flat out here tuning skylines a guy called Guricha got me to remote tune his cars in Georgia and it all just took off from there.

Yes she looks really nice,  it needs some work like a engine strip down and check and running gear etc but that should not be too hard.

Such a cool thread and great to see this update, congrats on the car.

I spent much of 2021 (while our country lost the plot with lockdowns) living in Tbilisi and I thought of and re-read this.  Georgia is my favourite country, I love almost everything about it, I can't wait to get back.

Hey mate!  Yes I agree it is great,  especially when you know alot of people there,  did you ever go to Mclarens Irish pub there?  I spent lots of time there it is great.

I love Tbilisi in the winter,  its just amazing when it snows.

 

I picked up the car yesterday and it is now sitting in my workshop,  I have not been able to raise a spanner to it because I just keep pacing around it in disbelief that it is actually here in my workshop.

We didn’t unfortunately, we spent a fair bit of time in old town, but lived in Vake so did most of our drinking around there 😂

Shame we left in November before it got too cold, I heard a lot of people say how beautiful it is around Christmas. 
 

Glad to hear you got the car safely!

When i went there in dec 2019 i stayed in Guram's spare unit he had at the time in Vake,  great spot in the city there!

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
