I find it a little scary that your life can be messed with, for better or worse, simply because of what a computer screen displays...with very difficult or non-existent avenues for getting it changed. It's not corruption proof, but it's fairly repeal proof.

Reminds me of that movie The Net.

GTR registered

No RWC required

:)

Guy did have a weird look on his face when he walked out to see it on Jack's tow truck. Also saw Russell there coincidentally.

Noice!

stick it to the man, man.

saw a strange car on the road today. an older man, driving a de-badge toyota or some sort... i suspect a AE95 JDM sedan. Stock everything except a towel across the back seats. It was beyond pristine. the rear mud guards were like brand new, the paint put most show'n'shiners to shame. the chrome on the (stock?) dual exhausts looked fresh.

Did someone really do a full restoration on what im pretty sure was a late-80's corolla?

Had classic (not historic) white text on black numberplates. the old skool ones before green.

haha did you pull up in the inspection bay with the car on the tow truck? Did they need to check VIN etc?

Yep

I said it has a bad engine knock and I'm taking it to my mechanic before driving it on the road, which is true. He just confirmed the chassis and engine numbers (spent ages trying to read the RB26 engine number, lulz were had), then we swapped the numberplates over and nek minut registered.

We have customers who get the works done on their cars, spend big money on it, THEN go to vicroads to get it registered... Very ballsy!!

Where's your car off to now?

You guys if Chris can give me a date to bring it down - can you go ask him now lol?

haha, lowered it off the tow truck or he climbed up?

Took it off and drove into inspection bay to show that it can be driven, albeit very loudly. Many looks from people before we took it off and even more looks when we started it up lol

Ain't at work today, am debating whether or not to go to the doctors in an hour that's how much I don't want to move :\

you young people have no apprication of hard work, when I was your age I hade to hop to work in the snow as I could only afford 1 sock per year.

then work 20 hours for 1$ a day (thus the saying of another day another dollar) b4 starting my second job as a moving target for the police force.

and I never called in sick.

almost.

Better than being trapped inside...

Must take a look at mine as well... keeps getting stuck halfway down... the bolt that tightens onto the motor shaft keeps working itself free and slipping. Time for some locktight me thinks

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
