Is there a definate time to commence the cruise? I'm thinking about coming along.. Red 200sx/Gold rims.

I think the time is 8:15, Chatswood chase carpark. BTW anyone know which level?

Cheers,

Thanks guys - good to meet all of you !

I agree with Merli - BOOSTD - nice car mate ! Cheers for the turbo tips too.

What happened to Mark & Ken - it got a bit hectic there when we were leaving the car park - I hope everyone wasn't too rushed .......

Thanks for the tyres Andrew :) - did you check the funds ? I'm pretty sure it was right ;)

Thanks B-man, Merli: Had a great night- will have to check out Palm Beach during the day next time. I didn't realise we were driving along the water front until we arrived at the "Summer Bay Car park" I'll be up for the show and shine.......have to get some elbow grease into the black paint. =)

Yeah man very nice, sounded awesome when you went screaming past me on the way back. How was that dodgy overtaking manouver of mine just after that? I had to cane it to get to the gap but when i gave it too much the wheels kept spinning. One time when 4wd would have been lovely to have!

That over taking manouver was pretty crazy! Geoff and I just went....holy Crap. Looked pretty close from our perspective. We kept getting wheel spin in 4th if I kept my foot into it after 5500rpm....so I short shifted to avoid any side window driving...hehe

Yeah it wouldn't have been a problem if the road was dry but when I saw some light coming over the top of the hill I put a bit more into it and the wheels started to spin. You pull out knowing you've got the power but getting it to the road is another story.

    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
