All to cool!

Do you race the R31? Looks good! You'd be able to run ot in tt class which is surprisingly affordable to race in.

So I managed to embarass the Exa pretty well today. First session- got to first corner and tyres were scrubbing. Back to pits and a bit of smashing with the hammer and that was fixed. Second session- 2nd lap out blew a cooler pipe and had to wait till almost end of session to get towed in. Hate afm ...

Oh the brakes! How I love good brakes! Took it for a quick run and the brakes a scary good! Intima SR pads Ferodo race fluid and evo brakes, just dandy! Wasn't making boost real well. Think turbo is well on its way out so i'll see if I can kill it on Sunday. Few little bits and pieces to finish it o...

Only needs to hold for scrutineering haha!

Think all will be ok. Going full bogan styles! A mate is gonna weld the dump to the turbo. Oh yeah professional as! Turbo is half stuffed and the dump is a piece of s..t that doesn't fit properly anyway so it doesn't matter. My mate is a qualified welder and has a fair bit of experience welding cast...

So checking over the car I noticed the dump pipe bolts were loose and one was missing. Tried fitting a new bolt but it wouldn't go in. Decided to undo the remaining 3. First one easy. Second one was tight as. Could work it back and forward a little bit. It was loose as the spring washer had no press...

He's an awesome stunt driver! Absolutely insane. A pity he doesn't have the speed to do well in WRC but he's still a draw card.

yeah man come out for sure. $20 for passengers. Take ya for a run. I was at PCM Friday til 2.30pm and again Sunday 12pm til finish. Two mates had their RX7s there. Thw white one with the Tampered sticker is the one that runs in the 6hr team with me and the other white one is a mate from wang. Winton...

Well I've got Winton on this weekend. The Lemon Cup which I'm running the Exa in. Its a Tampered Motorsport day incorporating the lemon cup- $1500 challenge. So I've done the brakes, got the a048s on. Gotta roll-pump the guards, change the oil and we're just about ready to go. Went to setup my water...

Lookin awesome!

Still can't get over the fact you found the original moulds!

Benalla wasn't as bad as was expected. I had the jetski ready to cut a lap of the main street but it never flooded. Only a small section near the gardens.
Dunno what the cops would've said if I hadve done it. Probably get reamed but figured it'd be a one off opportunity!

Evo twin spot brakes are on with the Intima SR pads. Just have to bleed them now. The banjo bolt holding the Exa lines had to be cut down as it bottoms out in the evo caliper. The slicks turned out to be a no go so I'll be running the Yoki A048s. Checked the front struts. The old monroe gas struts a...

Got longer new n13 wheel studs and nuts at Repco this morning. Not cheap. They ended up dearer per stud than the ARP chro-mo 1/2, 3.5 inch long wheel studs I use in my Mazda! Think one must've been a dud as after I did the nut up it wouldn't undo. I ended up breaking it trying. Doesn't give me a lot...

That is awesome! These guys both worked at Nissan at the time and were pretty sure they were gone! I'll let one of the dudes know next time I see him! He's got heaps of private pics of the Bluebird and Exa but isn't willing to share them unfortunately.

I posted on Nissanexa.com a few years back regarding the bodykit. I know a guy that was one of the mechanics on the Bluebirds. He put me onto another guy who was involved in the grp c Nissan stuff. He thinks the original moulds were destroyed as he couldn't recall anyone buying or taking them. So mo...
