All good :) 99% of the work was sitting waiting for the computer to finish.

Nah Ian, I wasn't cold > I was hot, trying to get the videocam restarted & warmed up at the last hillclimb, because I knew you guys were right on my tail.

Great Pics too Matt - with some astute framing + touching up to capture the dramatics + the impact!

Wow Matt, your Nur goes up hill quicker then my car going down hill lol

It was funny, that biker you can see in the vid came up on us pretty quick. He overtook and when I applied a bit of pressure during a faster section he started popping wheelies. Got close enough to see his ponytail. A nutter, but a nutter with skills

hey nick, vid didn't turn out the greatest, what with the iphone and all. will take another look on the PC and see if it's worth uploading at all

glad you got the brakes sorted

60 seconds maximum on the skidpan for one run at lunch time. You'll be fine without all that stuff ;)

You guys just come along and I'll sort out an easy course for you both and a stopwatch to see which Tung-Yep R34 is the quicker one whenever it suits you both

Oh, also need to open up the betting books haha

Still awaiting pat's wrap up story.

Come one Mr Hamilton, dont be shy.

sigh, fine.

overcooked it a little coming down the mountain with Terry, Matt, ian, rob and whoever was in the blue 34GTR. Basically we were being held up big time by some dude in a lumbering tin tray work ute so eventually Matt backed off enough to give us a bit of room and then when we jumped on the gas to catch up again i lost it going into a sharp left hander and somehow stopped myself from going over the cliff by the use of lots of braking, pointless steering (locked up so i dont think the direction of the wheels made a difference) and prayer.

Ended up just a few inches shy of the armco by the time i shuddered to a halt, meekly put it back in gear and trundled down the hill a little less hastily from then on. Ian was right behind me so im sure he was chuckling all the way down..im just glad my video camera battery died before it happened, its embarrassing enough telling the story let alone having to relive it on screen!

Sheesh Patty, you added me to your Facebook and you still don't know my name? :P

I might update my profile to "anonymous driver of Blue 34GTR"... ;)

Lol sorry mang, I'm the worst with names though. I was calling Matt everything other than Matt for years until it finally sunk in last wknd, ian I'm cheating because his name is in his username, sort of same deal with terry but i have known him long enough now so I actually know it off by heart.

Rob lives down the road and is a drinking buddy so same story, actually that's one way to get me to never forget someone's name. If they get me drunk (at least until the next morning)

Bad with names?

Didn't even notice.

There's a hint of what your name is in the vid at Albion Pk.

...robbing Pattie to pay Paul or sumfin like that ;)

Judging by the amount of lock-up smoke, your ABS isn't so AB.....

You didn't get a video? but guess who did!!

How did I miss that scene in the rear view mirror?!

you guys where long gone around the corner. that's why it happened, he didn't have you as a breaking marker.

He was inches from the armco, and if someone had been coming up the hill at that time, his radiator would have been inches from his chin.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
