Gear box problems......nope had a slight leak in the gearbox from a leaky seal. and the car has been on jack stands for ages cause he is doing some work to the body work to the front spoiler was too low..... and just got the spoiler resprayed, and the wheels will go into the body shop for a coat of pearl bluey purple paint. (the one that changes all different colours!

anyway that is wat has been happening to the Supra look very sad with no wheels on it no front noise and on jack stands........a classic Toyota! will look sweet when back on the road!

yeh they guy i bought it off said he would do it cheap, cos the colour can't be matched up and it would look dog ugly cos the pearl will not be the same.. so he has offered to completely repair and respray the whole car... AGAIN

Latest things I've seen here (which may or may not have been here for yonks) were:

-JZA80 supra with crazy heavy metalflake flip paint,

-a nice silver JZA80 with some veilside style stuff and white rims (and no F&F rice like some other Hobart cars...)

-white S13 silvia with black/polish mesh SSR or volk style rims, very drifty looking, maybe a trust style front bar (currently seems to have none)

- and the best the one that makes me drool every time I see it, Passage GTS (4dr pillarless R31)down here, black/charcoal, late R32 ECCS motor and box, twin plate clutch, greddy FMIC, HKS oil cooler, 'mechanical' LSD, JIC damper adjustable coilovers, cusco castor/camber kit, massive exhaust, Bride black/grey drivers seat, sabelt (IIRC) harness.... It came from JMS.

The Black 33 isnt bad looks the goods, except the wing, looked out of place, but very nice all the same.

Steve's supra is gonna look mad when its back on the road, not that it didnt before. Hmm, I heard it was having gearbox problems aswell, cant remember who told me

hehe, ive been offered one 4 free, but i really don't have the time to frig around with all the custom oil feeds to the head, and i am not too confident in many ppl down here working on my cars, tend to do everything myself, but there is only so much u can do.

who does the work to your car?

    • https://www.dezeen.com/2025/01/06/nissan-electric-r32-skyline-gt-r-godzilla-sports-car/   I reckon this is pretty cool. Lots of other Resto mods have turned to ev power.
    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
    • The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.
    • I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
