Thank you kind sir. Ahh I didn't think of labour weekend. Maybe we should change the date? It's not like we are set in stone or anything. Mussel Inn sounds fine. I've never been either so why not? Alot of people take advantage of the long weekend... I'm even tempted to do a M50 conversion haha -

Ok. The private collection has been confirmed for Sunday the 23rd of October. This one will be a gold coin donation for entry, anyone that went last time will confirm that it's worth every cent. I will need a rough idea of numbers also so if you're keen then let me know right here, right now. I won't fb slam this one as it is some guys property so don't want any chumps attending. I'll update with meeting times etc tonight Chur! -

Good spotting. Its a 1971 Ford Galaxie 500 so the very basic base model, I watched the series just for that car Haha -

Haha I just noted that 72 has had a high stop lamp fitted. I don't think that I'll ever need one as the complete rear if the car is a stop light -

And a 72. But thanks Trevor, it all helps with the motorvation! I did see the black 71 country squire at kaikoura hop but didn't find the owners, maybe next year. -

Look! Look! I actually did some stuff! I know, I'm just as surprised as you are. Degreased and painted the engine bay in the finest paint in all the land, I'm talking about Black zinc of course.- 18 replies

Anyone in Christchurch able to look at a GTR for me?
sidewaysickness replied to dave123456789's topic in South Island Region
Hmm interesting, pics of plaque please? Sounds like a good combo in your one. I would assume with those mods that the boost restricter has been removed. 2 min job and it doesn't comply with the "Gentlemans agreement" for Japanese cars. If the VIN starts with 1xxxxx, then it's a Nismo car. I.E. BNR32-100xxx where 100001 to 100560 were used as numbers for the Nismo cars. -

Fine choice sir! Looks good. Black one has a r34 engine which I've just fitted steel turbos to after sending the rear turbine wheel down and into the muffler. HKS super silent exhaust HKS hard piping kit HKS large intercooler It used to have a Bee R limiter sticker but my tests tell me there actually is no rev limiter. Fucked I know! Boost restricter removed. (Is your one still fitted?) Has a really nice feeling clutch/box/short shift combo which almost feels gated its that tight. Came into the country as a N1/Nismo replica so it had the N1 headlights and front bumper but it was involved in a nose to tail so they were replaced with original items. Also has the Nismo spats/skirts. Brother in law got dark at me when I told him to stop calling it a Nismo, It's not a Nismo. It's got a badge that says Nismo but real Nismo built GTR's are all gun metal grey and I'm fairly certain they don't have rear window wipers either. It failed a wof on a few suspension bushes so they are saving for a full kit. -
Anyone in Nelson got a compression tester I can borrow?
sidewaysickness replied to cubastreet's topic in South Island Region

This be the log I've acquired. It's my sisters and she lives in Oz so I'm the "GTR Manager" -

I do like me a good gtr. I have possession of a r32 with a r34 engine but it's been in the wrong hands and needs the love. -
Good times! While we were hauling ass from Murchison to Hanmer in the pouring rain I noticed something that I thought looked fucking cool. I assume it's down to the giant fan kicking up water but she generates a V shaped rooster tail from the centre which doubles in volume as it hits the water getting flicked up by the tyres. I did want to try get a photo of it but driving kinda got in the way of that. I did enjoy the hoon after cruising most of the day.

Coffee wasn't too bad at all but a large wasn't really a large. Prices are a little on the high side but I did enjoy my steak sandwich. With the next meet I'm thinking about getting hold of the guy with the private collection over in Takaka. That place is just awesome! Any objections to that? -

Sills also. Definitely the sills. Also check if it's still got the factory restrictor on the boost controller. If you can feel it's there then it's pretty much guaranteed unmolested -
