R33 Drift Project

[Neil]

Princess, we will be getting on the grog in Mallala... I actually have a spare bed if you want... but you better be quick!

Would have loved spinning spanners and laughing at you and all your gay drifter mates but alas I'll be hillclimbing at Dapto. Looks like our mobiles will get a work-out again. Pull your finger out and finish it or you will be be my "Dan the Spanner man".

Neil.

:bahaha:

Yeah I know mate... not too much time now... but I must say I am almost happy that I can't work on it again until monday... I am nearing 525 hours spent on it mostly by myself, huge thanks to Jamie for his technical direction and assistance!!!

We have only now to swap sensors around and bolt the head onto the bottom end... drop it in the car, grab some seats and harnesses and away we go!

Should be running by Wednesday at the latest... then I have to put a piano on it to run it in and try to behave myself... anyone feel like an overnight cruise halfway to melbourne and back!

I'm getting so excited about having it back... can't wait!

Dan.

[Craved]

let us know what time your gonna be there on monday Dan, might finally be able to make it..

[Majanal]

Sindows, I do have a job, but took some annual leave to get the car back on track.

I can't reveal the news just yet, but I will shortly... should be by the end of next week.

Chris, I'll be at the workshop from about 3pm on monday until who knows when, and same for Tuesday and Wednesday. Look forward to seeing you there!

[sindows]

Cool, just wondered...

How many weeks have you spent on it?

Nissan enthusists are funny.

Most people take annual leave to go on a holiday.

We take it for getting our car on the road/building the car.

Cant wait to see the end product...

GL mate!

[Trust33]

hahaha!

GL with the special thing.

Chris, I'll be at the workshop from about 3pm on monday until who knows when, and same for Tuesday and Wednesday. Look forward to seeing you there!

spewen, cos 3pm is when i have to leave home for work ...

i'll be there sometime today, few things to organise with jamie, so i'll be checking out your car for sure.

[Majanal]

LOL... yeah well you know... gotta do some work here and there on the car...

Lets put it this way, it was pulled off the road on the 28th of November 2005... and it will be back on the road THIS WEEK!!!! so that is what, a solid 6 months of work on the bloody thing, while holding down a full time job and a casual job, trying to mod my house to keep my wife happy, keeping my wife happy, trying to find some bloody sponsorship, make this documentary, and attempt to breathe somewhere along the line also!!! did I miss anything????

Oh... and I go to get the "Special thing" on Friday!!! Can't wait.

Will be playing with it on Tuesday not far from Sydney...

Gotta love some good suspense!

Dan.
