Supercheap at bondi has 2 bottles or red Duplicolor and 3 purple ones.

Looks like we are gonna just cruise tomorw..

Shado34 think we are reschedulling

tomorrow? i think u mean monday!!

the local places near me are all out of VHT, which i think is a good thing, lets use the duplicolor, and plan it all in advance, like lets set a date now, and work on getting the bits between now and then (say like 3 weeks time?) i know that means we will have to find another spot though ;)

I will be having a wheel balance done when I have adjustable castor rods put in; otherwise it's a double exercise which will cost twice as much :(

I don't think you will need a wheel alignment or balance after doing this... you just need to make sure your wheels go back on properly!

Sam, at the moment it doesn't look like we'll be doing it.... not enough paint going around (can't get a big enough high LOL)

So we'll probably end up cruising instead!

Chatswood meet 10am :(

So............is it a cruise now?

Where to?

Chatswood 10am sounds ok, if only i knew my way around Chatswood

:)

Doodz, lets meet up before hand, i can cruise to your area and go up the ED??

if this ever happens.. i'd like to come along....i'll be in the stands having a beer wiff DUN-CAN.....but we'll never ever ever get ro-lling drunk.... (thought this would be about the only opportunity i'd have to use that line..... )

if this is between 2nd of Jan and the 10th of Jan, I'm so in. I'll even do my best to hunt down some Metalcast cans for teh cef to bling with.

Currently 5 cans plus base coat at Supercheap Epping :huh:

Get red too you bloody pimp and not the purple or other stupid colours. (BTW Midnight purple IS cool!)

OK

N1GTR and a few others have concluded that this MUST be re-scheduled :( We've hyped ourselves up too much to pull out now :huh: I'm definitely in but firstly...

Questions:

1) Date

2) Location (my original location is now void due to dates)

3) Paints (which is best and where from)

Thanks guys

Stan

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
