Good stuff Boost, no stopping you now!! I'm still trying to track down the last owner of my '68 shell, he now lives in SA, rally's a 200Sx (Black) and play's with Carbon Fibre for a living...you would think it would be easy, but no, his flash rally website has NO contact details, his business is not in the yellow pages and the two e-mail address I've obtained have both bounced back!!!, oh yeah the two E-mail's I've sent to CAMS re: Re-issue have not been replyed to??? Your a Lucky man Booster 'ol bean!! On a brighter note, I'm just watching Rock Wiz, Julia would have to be the hottest chick on Telly!!!!....And I've just changed the Oil, charged the battery and bolted 'The big wheels' on the front of the Rat ready for tommorrow, Man it looks tough, the front tyres stick out 2 inches from the guards...I'll take a photo. Hey, whats this.....a white skyline rally car has just pulled into the drive and is driving into the back paddock? looks a bit strange??? oh it has no rear wheel, or hub, or brake or rear arm hhmmm I wonder whats going on?? Catch ya later...

Scando, The poor old racer wagon, are you hard on your gear, or just unlucky?? If I had a spare engine, I'd lend it to you! Maybe the Valiant wasn't that bad afterall? My mate up here has a tasty AP6, for sale,if our interested? or you can sell your soul to the Devil and buy an 80 series Cruiser!!

I think I'm hard on gear and unlucky Bluerat. I've now found out that the Z has a cracked block! Got another block off Mick and the engine is out. Still hope to have it going in time for the next round. Got the R30 registered so that'll get me about just fine until I have time to put another engine in the Bluey. It was quite nice driving the R30 to work today though, not sure if I'll want to go back

that sucks mate i hope your spares are up to scratch you never know it might build up better than the old one. it is nice to drive an L6 on the road again isnt it. ive brought the 240k into work today, its good i think ill be going home via Grasstree Hill!

yeah, I love driving L6's. The R30's sit nice on the road too, just a pity they're so ugly. They should have all been 2 doors like Josh's I got a block of Mick pretty cheap. Just going to put all the bits out of my cracked block into that. I don't mind if it's a little down on power to what it was. Just need it to get me through the rest of this season.

So the meeting was good then? Were there many entries? Looks like there was a good variety of cars. Love the photo of the Torana at the top of Panda's post, I'm guessing it had a little bit of power I know what you mean about the 240K basher Tom. It was a savage beast to tame! News with the Z is that all the internals out of the cracked block are now in another block which is sitting back in the car. Just gotta connect everything back up and see what goes wrong this time! The next round of the super series is 27th of may at Baskerville Bluerat. So that rules out running it in at the Symmons club day. Might just have to leave it on the dyno with a brick on the throttle for a day

you dont waste time Scando! do you do all this after work? it must help to have good equipment handy. the basher is going to get a thorough refit this winter. all the ball joints, tie rods and the steering box are totally rooted now , ill have to drop the whole lot out of another 240k and transplant it. im damned if ill pay for new ones for that monster. i can get tractor lugs retreaded onto the rally tyres in Longford for $60 a pop, but i dont know how long theyd last. i also scored a 350 holley adaptor plate for an L6, which may go on if i can get a carby then it will be truly monsterous!!

I can't take much credit for the work on the Z. If I didn't have my dad to help me I'd struggle big time. We work on it weeknights, weekend, whenever we get the chance. Dad even does bits and pieces in his lunch breaks!
I can understand why all the front end of the basher would be slogged out, it cops a hiding! I reckon it'd rip lugs straight of tractor treads (especially retreads). The rally tyres were awesome to drive on. Are they starting to get a bit down on tread?

Hey Boost, I like it!!! got to love a dumpy!! You must have a huge shed!
Glad to here it's all coming together Scando, Your old man sounds pretty handy....wasted on outboards?? May 27th, gee that gives you a whole week to get it ready for the clubday, easy, will we se you there??? Next time I need a paddock ploughed up I'll give you a call Datsunreal!!! If you need rally tyres I have a good supplier?? I'll be very interested how the 350 Holley goes, I've often wondered (sounds sad doesn't it?) how a Holley would go compared to a set of SSS carb's??
How did you go on Sat. Tom?? get a win??? Sat. Arvo we thought George Fury had turned up with his Bluebird at Symmons, but it turned out to be one of your fellow competitors!! He did a heap of lap's of the pit's, trying to look cool, he needed the flairs and a turbo for any street cred!! Dont forget there is a State rally round this weekend in the Hobart area, and the NWCC has a come and try rally on the 12th of May. Come along and cheer on DatLTD and boo the evil Commadore.....
