I might have new neighbours that moved in while I was OS. The Skyline is there each day (with P plates) and a tuff red E36 BMW 3 series. Haven't seen the owners yet.

The trip was brilliant! Germany was unbelievable, highlights being taking a Porsche around the Nurburbring and watching the 4 Australian matches live. After Germany I went to Amsterdam for 3 days, Dublin for 3 days & ended the trip with a week in London. Trip of a lifetime.

Not part of the spotted, but interested to hear about the porsche around the nurburbring. :) I'll be there within 8 weeks and plan to see the circuit and maybe go for a drive if the hire car is worth it :D

I posted my first email from Germany on SAU describing my time at the Ring.

There aren't many places to hire cars near the Ring. Check out this site for some info: http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/

Spotted a sweet purple coloured R32, with an unpainted front-bar, south-bound on Fullarton Rd this morning.

Shame about the Altezza-style rear lights :P

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
