Yep have been doing a re-tooling. Feel guilty for the old sidcrome. Have had her for 25yrs, and was second hand then. Thought the kinchrome was pretty close to R33 gtr-lm spec championship blue.DSC_0290.JPG.2da6d7e527486b1461488b13ed0ee351.JPGDSC_0291.JPG.248a9ed41cfc8c91729f6b61c1a2269b.JPG

This a nice piece of kit

Hope the tools work the same in a different box. Might loose their experience? All the drawers undone for reasonably rude replies? Kizza?

Cant beat getting into a nice pair of draws, remember if there matching... she decided not you!!!

The box is too gd to have at work, some asshole will only scratch it. I keep most of my gd stuff at home, just take the gd stuff i need in. Ideal for working on cars at home.

The best hammers I have are from my pops shed and a heap I bought off a old English fellow at the markets who was also a sheety by trade. They don't leave dents in sheet metal. Nice flat faces. $5 bucks each and we talked tin bashing and the Beatles for a hour. Learned my trade from a old aussie fitter and Turner and a 60yr old English sheet metal worker. He used to make panels for old cars on a English wheel and sand bags with a wooden mallet. Could pull any solid geometry out of his brain but couldn't explain it much. He just knew what to do:-)

I knew one in Brisbane and worked for him for a bit. It was great watching him shape panels and massage dents out

Dad is a electrical engineer and ended up doing computer programing converting all the gas turbine and power generation from analouge to digital to harness the information. Watched him build a boat out on the patio doing all the solid geometry 3rd angle projection [/img]and patterns bending and shaping the wood when I was a boy. He got me into the Nissan's when they were racing the hr31 gtsr and the gt-r took over in 1990.for Jim Richards to win the championship.Was all ford's up till then. Cams put 200kg on the 32 and limited them to 1.3bar when the coswoth Sierra was running 2.8bar. Nissan ran a huge motor sport program in the 80's early 90's in Australia. Exa series bluebirds George fury etc. Fred Gibson motor sport wanted to run in Japan at Fuji and Suzuka but Nissan said no.we do not want to be embarrassed. Rwd switch off the line so wouldn't snap half shafts. 1 4wd setting for dry and 1 setting for wet. The fastest gt-r s in the world from Australia. Skaife and Richards recond up to 700'hp on full boost.

When the 1.3bar rule cam in nissan moved into multiple cylinder tuning.  Each cylinder had its own fuel and ignition trim. So when they had it all figured out they actualy made nore horsepower than they did befor lol and for the endurance races they knocked the boost back to 1bar. They could safley get 4000 racing kms out of there rb26 @ 800hp in the early 90s.....most of the time they ran in rwd only but in the wet they actualy configured it to run 60/40 front bias to gelp pull the car out of the corner instead of pushing it out. 

P.s, ur dad sounds like a legend!

    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much

    • 😜 hopefully we get this instead of a new R36 GTR due to recent financial problems at Nissan. Nismo to sell a complete kit with RB26 and driveline. All starts making sense (ok maybe not) once the Nissan Leaf's (Leaves?) with stuffed EV motors/batteries hit the market cheap
