What a day, been moving shit to the in-laws, cleaning the house, mowed lawn, planted a bunch of flowers. Then sorted out shit box for tomorrow, bleed brakes, installed new Intima pads (test compound), loaded up car with shit and ready!

Rotors look a bit cooked, I managed to crumble the Intima Type-D v2.0.

Dose knows I'm good for the $$

I've had to pay him for his services before.... ?

Rotors do look average.

Motor seized heading back to Sydney. Had full oil pressure, no over heating.

Was tapping a bit on the way home but just thought maybe lifters.

Car did hit the engine protection a few times on the track though for low oil pressure around big bends.

Now waiting for my mate to come back with a trailer on the side of the Hume Highway.

Yay?

Cheers @Duncan!

Luckily just at the on ramp to Sydney out of Sutton Forest Maccas, safe-ish spot.

Same tyres lol.. 

My mate did a 1m10s in it, I managed only 1m12s

well, you can't change the laws of physics; a borrowed car is always quicker than one you own.

at least it is a short walk to heatherbraes (or Maccas if that is your thing)

I did crack 196 km/h down the main straight but bitches out just as the barrier stopped.

Could have possibly gone 200 km/h+

Is what it is lol..

Maybe the few times the Haltech went into engine protection was a sign I should not full send it around bends on noise.

Do you have logs of the sessions where the engine protection kicked in?

I'll download them sometime during the week and we'll find out.

That sucks, dry stumped billet rb30det with Samson time? 

Hopefully damage isn't to bad and just needs machine work and bearings. 

Haha I'm over it man, maybe new car time ?

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
