the turbo is a bit of a mystery to me as well. i bought it second hand, and the seller couldn't tell me much. It's a 'hybrid' t3/t4, but that's all i can say.

Haha nah man I went to trademark hotel in kings cross on saturday night, then stayed over at my mates place in oatlands afterwards....sooo to get to nirimba was like half an hour drive. I arranged with Pat to pick up his spare helmet at the texi (but he ended up forgetting it lol).

I had a quick glance around the carpark and didn't notice the magenta r32 as per your display pic unfortunately.

Don't own a magenta r32. FYI colour is pink, and no I don't own one anymore..

I wanted to say Ginormous thanks to all the organisers and helpers that make these days go so great! I know I run around a fair bit on the day so if I didn't get a chance to thank you personally please know that these things rock & roll due to all the behind the scenes work.

Also thanks to the entrants - hope you had fun. Based on the ear to ear grins, smoke screen antics and a few exploding tyres, I think good times were had by all!

It's a real shame about the few folks with mechanical dramas. Honestly though, Texi is a great place to shake down your car before you drive all the way out to Wakie or a track where the punishment is a lot harder and a much longer ride back on a towie if something is going to break.

I didn't see Luke or Matt's runs, but the other few cars that I know had dramas were run pretty hard. There were smoke shows where I literally couldn't see 5 meters in front of me out at the marshalling area. Hope the repairs go well, but well we must love our cars cause we all keep coming back to do it again :thumbsup:

Matts was probably one of the ones you couldnt see after, was his first run and it sounded f**kING TITS!!!!

Ouch, look up HR31-gts20x (jordon) he has my old crank which only got a tiny nick on it, but being a seizure I think it going to need more :(

ok, not so seized.

was turning by starter motor this morning.

thinking brand new crank.

and I have another block I can get machined.

damn.

did anyone see my run?

wish I got it on video.

and yeah, I was thrashing it :D

and as mentioned, glad I didn't do this damage down at marulan next month.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
