John @ JZ Custom Alloy made the tanks.. Unfortunately, he will not make a tank unless he has a car. I had been chasing another guy for 8 months, for a tank. I rang John and luckily for me, he was making a VN tank for his mate. Being a true gentleman, he offered to help me out . I ended up getting two made, one for another project. I just unwrapped the tank, First impressions. Awesome!!

It came out really nice. Old mate that fabricated it to five months to complete it. I don't think that he like me anymore, as it was a mongrel job .. I pity him, as he needs to make me another set. I am going to blend the welds next week and send them for Cerakote.

I have finally got some fuel tanks sorted. It came down to right place, right time. Two tanks will arrive in 2 weeks. YAY!! Some more pics of the car...

Thanks for the honest feedback . They seem like the best option at the moment..

Interesting. Does it understeer with the harder compound tyres on the front?

I am quite humble... Anyway... I have watched a few reviews about the Cup 2. I am quite impressed. Any track guys make a recommendation

End of financial year is fast approaching and I am looking to guy a new set of tyres (19/30/285 & 245/35/19). As I am running reasonable power (900+ rwhp), I am chasing as much grip as I can manage. I am current some Pilot Sports. I have been "out of the loop" for some time, so I am chasing advice on any others that may compare. Thanks in advance for the replies.. Brad

I got the seats back. New old stock material used to re-cover them. I had a spare set of seats, so I decided to get both done at the same time and save on cost. I am really happy with the outcome...

Hi all, just a small update this time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spend any time on the car. I'm still waiting on the custom headers and exhaust to be manufactured. the engine will drop in soon after... We had to do some mods to the blower intake, As the blower intake was designed for a cable throttle body, it was angled down to the right. when I installed the LS3 flange adapter the the angle of the DBW motor made it protrude around 2 inched higher that the blower height. To fix this we remove the flange and weld in a DBW flange. We smoothed the welds and used a needle gun to duplicate the texture of the intake and then painted it in the same semi gloss paint. Overall, I think that I turned out quite nice. I will post some more updates soon...

Good luck with the mods. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Have you created a build thread?

Yes. NOS = New old stock. I have lots of parts. Bezels, inserts, undertrays, grill mount and top sections... I also collected a lot of other BA/BF parts- NOS dash pad, door rubbers, weather strips, headlights, boot lids, quarter panels etc. The way I see it, is if you want to drive it. you have to be able to fix it... BA/BF will be like all other cars. parts will very soon be hard to get and buyers will be forced to pay a premium to restore/repair their cars.. After all, my car is almost 20 years old. 10 years to go before it can be placed on club rego...

I had previously dressed it in FPV parts, but I wanted something unique. I saw a DJR in Brisbane a few years before I purchased the car (2006) and fell in love with the look. I still have a few NOS FPV front bumpers in the shed. Not sure what I will do with them yet...
