James, good news and bad news hey..........

Well, I hope it's looked after by it's new owner. Does this mean we will see a dark car of Russian Descript, lurcking in the shadows, trying to hide it's vodka riddled shell, waiting for the perfect time to lang at it's target?

I remember seeing Golgo the first time on Chapel on night many moons ago.

Other memories (some good, some bad :P)

Golgo being broken into a few years back and all the cool ricey stuff stolen from inside. I hope those f*ckers were caught and hung by the balls!

The sexy side of Golgo on O so many cruises. Cruising right next to him and then blasting away after dropping to 3rd :) Ahhh, Beauty and the Beast.

Pulling over on Swan St for a bit of a chat under the bridge. When a simply honk won't do :D

Giving Golgo a righteous fang around Winton and then looking like a complete f*cktard when I spun him and then to make things worse, another spin with the windows open totally filling the interior and engine bay with dust. Dusty brown interiors aren't very sexy.

James calling me recently asking questions about how to maintain the GTR when sh!te goes wrong. The ancient art of removing a battery from a 33.

The "Accidental Lock In" was also hilarious.

The bike rack on Golgo at MAS this year was a classic. Truely a family car.

"GTR Support Vehicle"

Last but not least (as I'm finished thinking) FLAMES ON DEMAND!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to the new owner. Please treat Goglo with the respect it deserves.

Sad to see her go James, but I can always offer a ride if you feel nostalgia for Purple and bronze TE37's (although you may find things happening a leeetle quicker :mellow:). Whiteline kit with Bilsteins is so sweet.

It's taken a long time and I hope the joy in the pocket removes some of the pain in the heart.

Cheers

Dear New Owner of Golgo,

I promise it was only over 9,000rpm briefly.

Sad to see him leave the state however.

But I'm sure one day in the future the plates will be back on a new toy and Golgo will re-live.

I thought I had seen this GTR before and then realised that yours looks very similiar.

Nice car mate. Sad to see it go, especially if you've had it for a few years.

Good luck with your new project (even if it is a house)

Greg

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
