I can kinda see his point though..

Nismogirl - I was there, but not in a SILVER 32 :D

Predator - Man you have a good photographic memory, even I cant remember what i was wearing that night :D ...

Bet you the love factor for your missus just shot up a little ;) RS4 stagea would be great fun, especially if you could have it as a 2nd car.

Do option #B. I have been leaning towards an old GTR too last few days as well.. i don't care whether its falling to pieces, thats half the joy in owning an old car, fixing it all up and getting it all newish again!

Yeah but I think the costs associated with making a GTR all new again as opposed to most other 15 year old cars, is something that definitely needs to be taken into account.

Plus the maintence costs will be just as high as owning a newish GTR.

Meh 2 cents

hey guess what everybody - I hope you've all realised TODAY IS A LEAP DAY!!

so enjoy this one day every 4 years occasion! and party likes it 2000 all over again! and couldn't be a better day for it up here either :D

definitely.. my budget would be around $10-$15k on an engine rebuild and hopefully a full respray (stripping the car to bare shell myself to save labour costs).. That would be a "given".

But if it takes 3-4 months sitting in my garage while I stuff with it, thats fine too :D You're not paying for things when you're not driving it.

    • As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI. 
    • Ah yep, will do. Cheers!
    • Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.
    • https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
