went to the trouble of taking the 200 around to a potential buyers house tonight, which is no small thing when you dont have a licence and the only other manual driver in the house has recently had surgery on his knee, but anyways, i found a way.

get the car there (out in mile end), park up in the dudes very well lit drive way, and he spends 5 minutes looking around the car, doesnt pop the hood, doesnt look under the car, and doesnt ask any questions.

after hes done he comes up to me and says, "look mate, im a mechanic, and its obvious to me that this car hasnt been looked after, and i reckon its been drifted into a kerb or 2 eh, chuck us the keys and ill take it for a test drive, if im happy with it, ill give you $9k."

dont know what the hell he was expecting with that.

What a fkn knob!

Thats yas early in the year of 2006 that wasn't all the cars either we counted around 50-55 people even came over from interstate was very awesome as Heslo, nightcrawler, john munro and a few others can testify

Unfortunately a cruise of that size again would be a logistic nightmare

Edit we did have a lot of cars in the one spot for our trackday granted not 50 cars but a 50 car track day would make it super cheap but also mean you only get about 20odd laps

As some of you may already know, I'm in the process of getting my little part-time business off the ground (BITSUS Customs)

While I'm waiting for my professional website to come together, I've created a fcebook business page in the meantime.

So for those that may be interested,

EDIT: Must be a site sponsor to advertise any business on this forum

      S15 Spec R

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons

      The FD RX7 is the best looking 90's JDM car

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
