Well as usual, what have people got to do in order to be ready for Nat Day this year ??
Me, well the "coupe" is sitting waiting patiently, just need to choose weather to trailer it up or A-frame to Mallory

I need to stop my car from losing water, i don't think i am gonna make it
I might buy another GTT just for ND
Just need to replace rear brake pads other than that I am just fettling for the sake of it now.
I've got my Skyline rear diff, new box (the syncro on 4th has gotten worse since Pod), rear brake lines, rear discs, rear pads, front pads and re-bleed the brake system. Two evenings work on the ramp.
I'll be there & Mich is tagging along too
Im nearly done, just ready to wind up the boost
where do i start
Just new rear tyres for me so lucky.
The gtt only needs a clean & its ready to go Not sure if im bringing the van yet but that only needs a couple of small jobs doing
Find and fit suitable uprated clutch ...fit HKP T04E and 440cc injectors ....test and tune road warrior
take downpipe off, fit boss for wideband sensor and wrap downpipe, refit it, fit wideband wiring and gauge, sort battery box in boot
