Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

Thanks Eric. Hopefully those details pay off huh. Mate the time, money and resources is out of this world! Be warned, it is a dangerous amount of work...Had 100,000 odd kms on it. Will do, the best bit is just starting...

I think when u come with the car to germany.....it comes never back to australia. :-D

Hahaha I'll work on getting there first Kev!! Plenty of nice places to drive over there...who knows

Too good mate, too good....

Build is amazing, the detail.. Oh my god.

You make me want to go through this same process with my 32. But I just wouldn't have the patience to get a result like this!

By the way, best alternator ever. Hands down.

Alternator turned out amazing. It's good to see it coming

back together again. You won't want to drive it after all

the hard work on the undercarriage etc.

Keep up the good work.

WOW!!!!!!

love the alternator :yes:

Same! Definitely have to look at getting that done... How much did you pay to have the pulley anodized?

Cheers guys, should look unreal back on the motor huh! The pulley is part of the Mines pulley kit, have had to make some slight alterations to make them work as I believe they were to suit RB25, will post up pics soon

Yeah it has got out of hand but 'when in Rome...' haha (Anchorman). Yeah you really have to keep pushing yourself every single weekend and keep thinking of the finished car!!!

Making me feel I need to pull my car apart again Robbie! Not good mate haha... Looking amazing coming together so well

No way Paul, yours is a work of art mate and it was your build that got me inspired. Only now can I appreciate the work you have done!

Cheers, she is coming together well, all the time in planning is paying off finally.

Personally, I think the method of painting over the embossed section and then sanding/machining delivers a higher quality finish than masking, at least in this case. For larger surface areas, masking makes more sense.

dude! It's a lot easier to detail the RB26 logo without the paint in the first place. Why would you want to make more work for yourself and also risk of scratching the face of the cover when you don't have to?????

In your DIY thread, the painted areas around the masking seem to have partially come off when you've removed the mask. Not a discredit to your method, I think it works great, but in this scenario I would paint the whole thing then sand it back to achieve a closer to 'factory' finish, if you could call it that ;)

      Import insurance in 2025

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.

      Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen

      Best Skyline ever

      By Skip33 · Posted

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
