That is it on my profile, that photo must be from the mid 2000's though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any pics of the old AE kicking around? Found some! This is 14 years ago when I sold it (fourteen years...holy shit). This roughly 2001 or 2002 (20 fcking years ago) Stock bluetop 120km's and t50. Bought brand new Superlites because my dad got a good discount working for South Pacific Tyre/Dunlop in Upper Hutt. Might have been through Beaurepaires. Had good shocks and springs done by Ron Scanlon. After a few years it ran a bearing on Paekakariki hill and I put a 4agze from ae101 in it. Well Ron did. Wired by Nick Tollemache (spelling?) he used to race a purple ae86. I later put a W58 in it. It was very tidy (still have that steering wheel in my 200sx): I shouldn't have ever sold it. But I had it for about 7 years did autocrosses, Taupo (old track) and Manfeild (in the pouring rain). Drove it every day. Replaced it with an ae92 GTZ which I continued the idea of turbo charging the 4agze. tldr: spam about car sale regret. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Daaamn! I've only ever seen your car in tiny avatar pics, so it's cool to see bigger photos. I reckon the colour is pretty similar to what I've gone with. Love the interior pics too. There's something magic about a zenki GT Apex interior. I got mine almost exactly 14 years ago. It's crazy to think it's been that long eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy to think it's been that long eh? Yeah I loved the interior, the seats had all kinds of adjustment too. Also the digital dash worked perfectly, was kind of funny having the fuel gauge measured in thick bars. Not super accurate... Pretty sure the digital speedo didn't read any higher than 180kph too haha. Anyway, that's enough of my old car haha. Yours is really what I wanted mine to look like, especially the front bumper. N/A power is really what these car's should have, the supercharger was fun but a screaming NA is just better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'm flattered . And I agree on the NA screamer front - it's so hard to resist the power of a turbo, but the doorts make it all worth it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not super accurate... Does the fuel gauge change scale when it gets low on these? I had Digi dash on the Z10 soarer, and once you got to below about 1/4 of a tank, from memory the bar went back to full (or something like that to show you more detail of low tank) I was driving it once with 1 bar left, and figured "there's always a bit more in the tank" When the last bar disappeared, the car conked out almost immediately haha. What's the plan with the new motor(s) @Truenotch? Planning to get one in the hole before the coming season? Or just whenever they're ready.

I don't have any memory of it doing that so it probably didn't, it was a 1983 model so pretty early digital stuff I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Damn it looks good. The fuck you in the eyes red along with those fully sick rims, so nice. Are the rims on spacers or is that all rim? If so, I don't know what the fuck I was thinking when I purchased them for a car with stock guards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fronts are running a 13mm spacer at the moment and the rears have a 25mm bolt on spacer and an extra 13mm slip on for now until I can find a better way to space the rears (don't tell MSNZ). So the rears are currently 15x9 -38 . If I run the same setup with the Simmons, it works out to -51 offset. You can fit these in standard-ish arches with a 205 tyre and no spacers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Ahhhh OK, nice, I thought they weren't completely ridiculous when I test fitted them to my car, but couldn't quite remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Looks like they ran with the super 7s (was that the name of the Rx class?) back then. What class was the 86 in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 SS2000 was the class and the Pro7s fitted the category, so often raced on both grids. Also, did you guys forget how to oldschool? I moved both of your posts across from the main project thread. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
