went up sunday tried to leave early but I was the only one out of the group of ppl who came with me that got up, what a struggle to get up then found out that it was day light savings, I could have slept more. I must have missed some of the good stuff, only got to watch the racing.

yeah thats my car. sooO! its 33 limited edition blue is it! i had a guy tell me it was calsonic blue down to the last pigment and i wasn't sure if i believed him. hmm anyone got pics of this limited edition r33 hue???

other than that, thanks jayce for telling us about the gig. was a good way to spend an otherwise would-be slow easter sunday!

some nice cars too. that 260z was quite simply one of the most amazing resto's around. me, jayce and other dave (barbs on here) sat there staring at it dribbling all over ourselves!!! it was the one with the orange racing stripe on sexy silver.

i've got a stack of pics but they're all 8mpix and i cbf smallening them.

yep saw that, looks very nice, for sale too isnt it?

that R32/180 was a bit too oddball for me, especially with the 300ZX stickers

that's coz the the sphincter of the universe that owns it runs a 300zx club (and has a 300zx TT for a daily driver)... go figure :rofl:

yeh that red 32 was nice

 

 did anyone catch our gtr we had plates gtr320 on it

Hey Greg,

I heard you popped the aircon on the way back to Melbourne.

That would have sucked....

I also heard that there was a 260RS in the carpark, who's was that?

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
