Howdy all, so as some of you know I sold my R34 last October which was a hard move for me but it had to go.

I ordered my new car - a daily driver 6 months ago and it's final here! Talk about a long wait! Anyhow it was 100% worth it, it's fantastic. It's a MY10 Audi A4 with a bunch of options, a few are sports suspension, sports seat and wheel, 19" RS4 alloys and Xenon upgrade with LED tail lights. Anyhow now I have a car I actually like driving again I'll be sure to head out to some events. I'll have to dig out some SAU stickers for it!

Oh and one funny thing I notice, there is a huge number of SAU'ers that have moved from Jap to Euro. I can think of me, Ferni, Mav, Lewah, Nathan, Snowy (well he still owns a R35) and I'm sure there are more out there. Bit of a trend huh! Maybe a Euro cruise in in order :)

Could be the older we get the more money we make and the more conservative we become.

Sorry what I was asking is what are you looking for. A shell to rebuild or a complete car. I have both but only looking to sell the compete shell. It of course comes with all the bits to go with it.

probably a good condition shell with little to no rust. but again. i wont have the funds till febuary.

and thats when both the hiluxes are sold and the garage emptied.

is there enough parts to build her up and use her as a daily"?

Little to no rust and C110 don't belong in the same sentence sorry :)

Your dreams of finding a car with little rust may be shattered pretty quick. I'm going to put the car up for sale early next year so keep an eye out :D

good.. must be cheaper then :woot:

i got a mate who can weld and i have a sheet metal cutter and bender..

pm me what your looking at and how bad the rust is

and how rude of me! congrats on the aooowwwdiiieeee.. their fkn nice cars (y)

    • Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.
    • When's the rear mounted turbo kit coming? Needs dose and V8 chop idle lol.
    • I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.
    • I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
