And I'd like to say thanks to all the SAUWA crew who turned up for the shoot - everyone was efficient and co-operative and it all went well and without your help and without your patience and without your co-operation I wouldn't have been able to do my job.

So THANKS to ye' all and here's to more publicity and a few feature cars from the group too :D

Yeah, I'll head for Brisbane - if you're paying the air fare, har, har :D

Seriously though, All you have to do in your state is approach Ben Ellis the editor of HPI .... he'll organise his photo man in whatever state and get it happening.

Hot 4s also do clubs, so there's plenty of opportunity.

It seems to me though, that I'm the only state correspondant who goes out and actually chases this stuff up for the mags ... it's called being pro-active.

But any club anywhere can gain publicity ... all ya' gote' do is make the initial enquiry and set the wheels in motion.

      This is a real nostalgia trip for me, I mean SK Bilsteins? I ran those lol Good times.  Good work Duncan, it's not an easy job in many respects. I'm sure the family appreciates it.

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)
