Yeh the bonnet was Simon, painted yellow but hadnt been used much/at all.

Power wise; it was previously making 290 and making more without the tune being finshed. I would like to see ove 320kw, but anything over 300 but wicked response and I will be happy. My aim of this car has been to make it an unreal street car. So driveability and wicked response has been my main aim. Hence why i didnt go with the -5s with the stock 2.6l.

But lets wait and see

Thoughts so! You beat me to that bonnet haha.

I bought his original front bar off him.

Did you see his GTR while you were there? He thought his wheels were the only set in Australia until we opened up my boot to put the front bar in haha. He was devastated.

He told me big power, big pipes (4" throughout the engine bay and to the end) but wasn't finished yet when I was there.

Yeah, definitely, don't need to chase a number. Response is where its at, especially for a street car.

Nah mate I bought it while I was overseas lol (ebay ad but offered him an amount before the auction went off). Yeh his wheels did look good in the picture and i imagine he would have been devo when he saw your wheels.

Yeh I cant wait to get home and drive it, going to be a completely different car. on the qld raceway calander seems there is a happy laps next month. (Hint hint)

Haha, yeah, I knew that. Forgot about that.

I sent him a text message, still had his number, you must have made an offer he couldn't refuse haha.

Will come out and watch you put some rubber down ;)

Seeing as you went the whole Z-tune style kit. Did you think about doing the pumped front guards?

I know people have mixed opinions on them. Some angles it looks tough and some angles it looks a bit awkward :/

Car looks absolutely immaculate mate congrats !!!

I have one question for you though - what size cooler did you end up going (from the pic it looks relatively thick and like 100mm) and did you need any trimming of the bar to get the cooler to fit on properly ??

Cheers

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
