Skyline's more daunting than Conrod.

I will be able to tell you after Easter if my entry is accepted.

One of my mates who raced IP at the 12hr rekons comong off at the chase is fairly daunting

[fpv_gtho]

I cant imagine taking Skyline at 150-200km/h, i back off from 60 every time i go there. Conrod is nothing in comparison. You come out of Forests Elbow and youve got a good few hundred metres of track visible infront of you. You crest Skyline and you get that - Sky.

I got a corner here i hate taking at 60 . Imagine 150.

When we got to Bathurst last year we went for a drive of the track in the hilux and was going over the top at 70 and it felt like it would roll. By the end of the weekend the nephews were hitting at 140 into mcfillamy and flat in third through the rest.

Im aiming for a late april completion date. That is, car drivable and in rego spec condition. My times being taken up with stripping this blue car though. the interiors completely gone except roof lining which ill take out this weekend. Ive so far used a 12mm spanner and a pair of screwdrivers to take the whole interior out, the extractors and the intake manifold

Great buildup

Thanks mate!

Shell now sold, all parts removed. I ended up with a few hundred $ in my pocket some new tools are in order i think!

[charged]

Blue have you got it started yet or still no joy, wish I could get a decent shell for spare panels and parts

[Blue Supra]

seems my 'extra cash' now needs to go to the daily driver. See galah sessions for details.

Im planning on spending all saturday on it charged. fingers crossed, im going to shoot something if it doesnt run by the end of the day.

[Blue Supra]

swapped the carb over, still no joy, does the same thing, have 2 things to check out then im taking it to a shop.

1. rotor button could be out 180 degrees.
2. valve timing could be out

[Blue Supra]

Towed it home to my place... im doing some other non mechanical things at the mo to distract me from the annoying lump in the engine bay. Put the roof lining up I took out of the blue car and tonight im aiming to swap the heater core over put the carpet in it.

EDIT: oh and im taking the steering wheel off. its enormous.

[Blue Supra]

So I finished pulling the heater out, its shagged and so is the one I got from the parts car so its looks like an electric replacement will be the go there. Not that I mind, there 10kgs gone and a massive gap behind my dash now. Also took out the radio and speaker while I was in there to make room for gauges. :P

Got the carpet in, need to put the door plastics back on to hold it in place. Looks OK. Its not new or anything so I didnt have massive expectations.

new steering wheel to go on and standard seats to be refitted this weekend.
