Nice wheels, love old school rays (first dibs if you decide to sell). You can just space in the latch to fit the gtr bonnet, thats what we did.

If that was directed at me I hope I don't have to sell anytime soon as it took me long enough to finally get them on.

They are nice and wide 18 x 10 with +20 offset all around

Real headache to fit

Indeed it is a GTR lip on a GTSt bar. (it could be a type m but i'm not entirely sure)

Got it off a mate and just cable tied it up underneath.

Does the job for me.

Actually can't wait for sunday :)

Hopefully I see you at the next one then.

I feel like I should take this opportunity to say shoulda stuck with the 20?

Why would I do that? The 30 was running as my daily for a couple of years, pulled it out to put some stronger rods and other stuff in, just didn't expect to break the wagon while it was still in pieces :P

It's going back together with a stock bottom end, ASR sump, my custom forward facing plenum/Q45 throttlebody and the highflow off the wagon. In order to be a tightass, we're knocking up some spacers so I can use some old Neo injectors that I have lying around (after a clean), 370cc should be plenty for the highflow as I'm not exactly going to be leaning on it very hard.. whatever it makes at 1bar of boost will be fine for a while.

List of things to do:

-Bolt reconditioned front callipers back on (as soon as chuckie brings them round :P)

-Get clutch cleaned & inspected (HKS twin for cheap cheap.. hopefully it's ok! heh)

-Bolt head & ancillaries on to block (easy)

-Drop engine in car (easy)

-Get my mate to weld a pipe to throttlebody (hard)

-Fit NIStune board to ECU (easy)

Interior will be back together this arvo and the thermo fans will be mounted and wired. Already got all my top end gaskets, just waiting for spigot bush and throwout bearing to arrive. Can put engine together but can't drop it in until I have those.

Once the brakes are on it can come off the axle stands, carport position swapped with the wagon and wagon turbo removed. Then really I'm just waiting on workshop availability which should be this weekend! Not bothering to book in for a tune until it's all together though.

It's not a showcar if that's what you're thinking! But under the skin she's built to take a beating ;)

No build threads, but a lot of shared ideas :thumbsup:

That just made my day that little bit brighter.

At least there is still some people left that aren't all about autosalon

Ironic, I remember cars from autosalon having big wheels, poorly fitted body kits and lowered too low for looks and not performance...

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
