6/4/05 - Marked a milestone in my life...

[Prospector]

Well, yesterdya, after many months of waiting, i took delivery of my car fom the docks...

After waiting there for hours cause their computers were down! I finally had the keys... you shoulda seen how fast i ran to the car!

I opened the door, and got in, shaking with excitment. No idea what to do first... start it, look under the hood?

First thing i noticed, was, AVCR stolen ..

Started it perfect first go, jumped out, popped the hood, all looked how it was meant to, got in, drove out..

The security guy who gave me the past out signalled me to smoke em, so, ofcourse i did... 2nd gear sideays. Shaking harder than ever, heart punding harder than ever, and something else was harder than ever

Get to the front gate, in hysterics. Quickly get my licence back, my dad is like ?WOW! jumps in.

He says, now take it over and park it. i say.. like ****! im driving it.

Take it out on the straight at the front, and flatten it, 1st spins and 2nd is slammed in like 2 seconds, still smoking, sideways past all the truckies.. snap 3rd, still spinning. i freak out a bit thinking, i dont want to stack here. i have no insurance!

the look on my dads face, who drives a HSV Clubsport with 240 odd rwkw, and says "F**k... are skylines meant to be this fast?!" hehehe...

Anyway, just thought id show you all, and tell you that its mental fast. its running 1 bar (14psi) off a hks actuator, off a nissan turbo, bigger than standard tho. With teh AVCR, im guessing it woulda been maybe 18psi? anyway, now all i have to do is work out what is done to it.

The suspension and driveline setup is mental. its tight as and goes where you point it. front and rear swaybars and strut braces, HKS coilovers, and 2way lsd (that works!)

Shes at Carizma now being complied. omg i cant wait. They say they will start work on tuesday.. should be about 2 weeks from now.

Here is the beasty...

(i dont know what the (SAM) sticker is, but ive decided, thats my cars name, hehehe)

[leech_]

um that seems pretty stupid taking it out and straping it as much as you have. I am guessing it has come from japan you really should have changed all the fluids before strapping the shit out of the car...

[Prospector]

[sammus]

[Prospector]

nemz... Allowed $14k on the road

r32brother... same thing... i love the kit, its the best.

Roy... is it short for troy? im lost. Yes cage is coming out any second now. I realy dont know wheter or ot to keep it. it is an insane cage, all bolted. what would you be willing to pay out of interest?

Mecha... thankyou... i take it you mean where the stereo goes? well... its almost like a double din, and since double din units kinda suck rod... I have already got a pioneer single din unit, and im thinking ill put a filling plate below it, and put some tricky things in it hmmm button start...

Pentae... Thanks mate... yeah, hopefully ill get a few years outa her
