jdm import car scene is slowly ending in my opinion. Seeing as majority are turbo and restricted from P-platers.

There is a move towards VW's/86's/euro cars which seem to be all the rage now amongst P-platers.

I'm okay with this - I was around the scene for that peak and ownership wise I got in on the tail end of the peak to enjoy at least a few years of it before big meets died off and before drift and stance culture faggotry came in.

There's a silver lining in it now; I get to enjoy rarity as opposed to a scene; people see my car and see something they don't get to see often or they assume I stole it and will kill a baby in a pram.

Look how popular VLs were in the day, they were everywhere and I didn't give them second looks, but now I study their condition if I see one on the road. Hoping the same happens for well kept Skylines, GTRs etc once they're all but written off. Who knows, some wealthy CEO might want to one day relive his youth and splash out on a car you can't buy easily anymore, not unlike the Aussie muscle cars from the 70s.

And it's time to change cars

black maloo?

took over 5 hours today to:

pick-up trailer in heidelberg

drive home, load up car on trailer

drop off car at workshop

drive to heidelberg and drop off trailer.

Traffic was stuffed on the eastern, roadworks everywhere around doncaster and then boozebuses blocking off lanes on maroondah hwy.

lesson learnt: just pay $100 for a tow truck.

surely it would cost more than $100? seems cheap.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • 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
