Hi guys, have been thinking about parting with my car. Have been for a little while, but the thought of seeing it been taken away crushes me, hence why it's still sitting in the garage. The bottom line is i have 'rediscovered' game fishing, and can not afford to participate in motorsports and fish as well. The car has slowly been built up to a car that would be great fun in hill climbs and super sprints etc. it's pretty much imaculate paint and panel wise. It makes 320kw's on pump at 17psi. It has bilstein shocks, adjustable arms inc boost auto modded front LCA's. G4 356mm 8 pots up front, oem calipers on rear with aftermarket rotors etc. fully stripped/ painted out interior with sparco pro 2000 seats and matching harnesses & kidney pads. The wiring loom has been striped down, have done quite a bit of simplifying, the interior is very neat, high quality finish color matched to exterior. It has a 6 point bond cage. Doors have had intrusions removed, all screens lexan except for front screen. Car still retains a heater. Custom front splitter/bar, also has rear air guide from diff to rear bar. Origin Wing/japspeed adjustable wing. Wing & boot bracing. 18x9.5 + 25 all round. I could go on for ever and a day. It just needs a wheel alignment and a set of tires really. Anyway I knows it's a small market and it probably doesn't appeal to most. The fit and finish and quality will not disappoint.

It will be a sad day when she sells mate, hopefully someone on here buys it. Pity you're packing it in, was hoping to see you in NSW for World Time Attack this year..

If I hadn't just spent a fortune getting mine up and running I would be interested for sure. Should be lots of interest, very nicely built car, good luck with the sale :)

I live it and Breath it Justin, tassie is spoilt with great fishing. The boat is up for some maintenance if the bill isn't too high I might keep the datto ultimately I'd like a Evo 8 or 9, something totally street able but capable of 58's at basky. It's doable in nearly a stock car. Ray Tuttle has done it.(Rickards at the wheel) A red Evo with RPF01's would go down nicely but 4 door and 4 cylinder isn't quite as cool as the datto. Will see how it pans out. I think I'm just going to have to lower my expectations with the datto a little just to get it going sometime soon.

NO, DON"T DO IT :spank:

lol so far i've had a lot of that...... one good bit of news I've had since i have had my head elsewhere is the Ol cheap Achillies 123's are dirt cheep and fast? well fastish anyway 3rd place at the time attack just gone was on them and summers is talking them up big time

I didn't know nick sold them nowelly. But on further investigation they are starting to become more popular and they are getting a good rep, a lot saying up with RSR's for less money. Last time I checked R1Rs were way to many $$$$$ 350ish for a streety, no thanks.

Yeah, I can understand that... an absolute obsession.

I used to hang out with the marlin/dolphin/trophy sport fish guys in Mexico and around the Caribbean while I was working on Motor Yachts. Those guys are nuts about 2 things- shooting and big game fishing. It was amazing to see some of the tournaments... 40 or 50 x 40 foot+ sport fish boats heading out single file in the mornings, then they all head back in the same time. Some of the guys were crew, only there for reeling in duties??? if they win or place, the 'reeling' guy can get $50-60k just for an afternoons work on the rod (plus they all had really big right arms).

It's funny you say that, I've been looking at EVO's lately to replace the race wagon stagea one day.... mmmm black EVO 9, gold GTC face 2's, carbon lip and the right amount of low.

.... Don't sell the datsun, you know you love it.

Yeah game fishing in the states and in Mexico is insane, must do a trip someday, big yellowfin out of Mexico, or "cows" as they call them. Yeah for me a Red Evo with RPF01's, one day. As for the datto, I'm unlikely to sell it because it just won't bring the money I'd need to part with it. I also want to feel the modifications I made, I have made a lot since I last tracked it. I have copped a bit if stick for even mentioning it lol. But one day I will own a Evo, even if its as well as the datto

That's exactly what i said. Take it for a day out at basky and you will forget about selling it pretty quickly. On that note i am hopefully going to have my car tuned next month and will be organizing a quiet track day for a bit of a "run in/learn how to drive your car again" session if anyone is interested. ie. jack lol.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
