Well its gone..

Another SAU skyline leaves the ranks for other pastures.

Its been a great 20 months but tonight I saw her pshtt one last time and drive away.. sounded soo good from outside the car too :D

Some strange co-incidence today too:

* It was within the same month exactly 10 years ago that my R33 rolled off the production line somewhere in Chiba, Japan.

* This morning it ticked over 100,000km for the first time (I took a photo while driving :D.. even got video of it..)

* It was my birthday 3 days ago.

The common questions, may as well answer them all in one place :D

- Yes, I pretty much got the price I wanted - was sold "as is" cancelled rego, no safety cert or anything as it was off to NSW to be registered. Saved me some hassles.

- Why'd i sell it? hmmm, tough one.. long stories, dramas and well R33 are an expensive base to start from. Nothing wrong with the car really at all just was getting a bit sick of it. It will be nice to have further options again.

- What is next? dunno.. have some ideas..but wait and see what comes up. No massive hurry yet. It will be fast.. damn fast.

so I wave goodbye.. and least have some final great photos to remember it by:

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! WHICH OLD WITCH? THE WICKED WITCH! DING DONG THE WICKED WITCH IS DEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAD!!

In all humor THE CURSE IS OFFICIALLY LIFTED AND BEEN PASSED ON WIT THE CAR TO THE NEW OWNER!

I now present to you GORDO THE UNCURSED!

Very nice car, but yeah if you do know the full story behind it you will realise that I am not being too harsh with the above statements!

Actually there is one more photo I would like to have seen, and that would have been a photo of Gordo's face when I got the courier to pretend that he had backed into Gordon's car just before the new owner came to pick it up

Priceless :D

muahahahhahaaa

(they don't call me Evil Homer for nothing)

grrr...so believeable too - I wouldn't have believed you clowns but wasn't expecting the other guy!! still plotting a come back for that one sometime... when you *least* expect it!!

I hope the younger guy takes care of it.. guy from country NSW. Bought it from the country, and back to the country it goes.

it did.. it did! may have even been the clincher for the sale. thanx for the great work on that.. one day in the not too distanct future I may call upon your great service again.. :D

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
