I had a suspicion I knew which car this was upon seeing this post today. I was wondering why it had been sat where it was for quite some time. A friend of mine used to occasionally see it on his road in another part of town

It makes sense as to why it hasn't moved! It certainly looks pretty well track specced!
Haha I've been spotted! What did he think of it? Guessing he's down the bottom; West Street way? Feel free to pop over and say hello when it's done!.It makes sense as to why it hasn't moved! It certainly looks pretty well track specced!

You've not been to the Ring then? 
I went many many times back in the pre-TG days, and invariably one of the quickest cars on any day would be a shonky-looking, locally-registered old GM product from the 80s or 90s
When I was there a few years ago it was mainly old roll caged Novas and Corsas that were putting me and my mate to shame in his cayman S (to be fair, it was a company car and insurance for what we were doing was grey at best so driving about 7/10ths was plenty) I used to have a Mk2 Cav which is why it stuck out for me I went many many times back in the pre-TG days, and invariably one of the quickest cars on any day would be a shonky-looking, locally-registered old GM product from the 80s or 90s
Morning chaps. Popped over to DT on Friday and had a look at the engine. We took the head off and...
Was quietly hoping the head would be okay so I could have recouped some money. But hey ho. Also I even managed to destroy my manifolds haha.
Does anyone know if the OEM supplied crank is blued from the factory? We noted this when it came out, and if it's not like that as standard, it looks like I've had some extremely serious oiling issues and heat going on. Annoying as the dash temp gauge never exceeded about 115!
On the bright side, Craig showed me round this 350Z he's just finished. Absolutely amazing! Looks like it was meant to be. I'm still incredibly excited despite the gutting feeling of seeing the old S54!
