i wondered the exact same thing this morning,

i had noticed that from mid last week they only seem to have aussie delivered cars. i saw an Astra and a WRX and a couple of other i can't remember

Yeah I know, the yard was full of Aus-delivered cars last week...

Again drove past on my way home about an hour ago and the yard is still empty so I definitely wasn't dreaming or seeing things,

All the shop signage has been removed/painted over :S

What happened?

wow the signs were there this morning

i'll have to look on my way home

Yes... Xtreme Motorsports has closed down.

We had a massive tree fall onto our workshop and damaged it severely and its disrupted the asbestos. Due to the health risk we had to vacate.

Wasn't due to hair cuts either Numleg by the way. Unlike your friends that I wont mention who use to do it in-house....Lol....

The Facebook page was sold on to a joint Australian and Japanese company that is new and opening up in January. Xtreme Motorsports have

no affiliation with this company though I have done the right thing by my guys/workers by negotiating a job for them there as I consider them family.

I on the other hand will be taking a break for now as I need a long holiday and will decide early next year what I will do.

If anyone has any questions or would like to contact me please don't hesitate to do so via PM.

Thank you everyone for your support over the years and I am enjoying the break and recouping lost time.

Good memory there. There's a separate thread about the above mob, either here or in NSW section.

Yes, they pulled the good old Phoenix too. In their case, the trading name remained, but the ABN and parent company kept changing. An ASIC search revealed 5 different iterations of the same business.

Wow! A hater has emerged out of the blue!

* A Joe supporter who wears a vengeful cape I presume???

* Why the hissy fit all of a sudden over JapLink???

* Why not Carizma - or Extreme Imports - or Top Secret Imports - or J-Spec - or AllImports???

All allegations and no proof seems to make your claims spurious as well as slanderous.

Could it be that Gregg (the thorn in your side) is someone you know???

Want to share???

The number of accelerated "Views" seems to reflect that SAUers are anything but "bored" as you say.

Moderators feel free to clean up irrelevant piffle as well as remove my post as well as the one above me.

    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
