Title: Not sure if any of you guys remember me
Post by: Phantom_eureka on Wednesday, 01 February, 2012, 12:06:21 PM
Had a Silver F4 with heavily tinted headlamp covers.

Really regret selling it, but i needed a more practical car for my P plates......which i didn't end up buying. I bought a 2 seater Slicktop 300ZX which has been my pride and joy for the past 2 years, really can't go past the wedge shaped cars.

As it sits she holds the 2nd fastest recorded time for an NA 300ZX in the country  :D.

Really looking forward to buying another eureka in the near future as they are still one of my favourite cars to this date.

Hey Phantom, you're still remembered by some around these parts. Myself at least.  :D

Keep looking around if you're looking for another Eureka, they still pop up on eBay fairly frequently. I'm sure if you want one you could find one that interests you.

 ;D

Heya Phanny,
                       I remember you mate. So will Jeff S, he bought your reek. I've just spent about 3 straight weeks bringing it up to road worthy condition, that's why Jeffs' so happy:

http://eurekacarclub.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,973.0.html

The hideous hole in the rear window tunnel has been repaired as well as the hole under the bonnet. The dash and centre console has been redone in brushed alloy and the wiring brought up to speed. Fuel tank reseated on proper mounts. Seat rails and seats properly fitted. Quality stereo and amp install. It also has one of my signature Pulsar steering columns in it too. If Jeff permits, I'll upload some pics.

Another happy customer and yet another reek on the road.

One of my other customers has the fastest turbo 300ZX in Oz at the moment. His name is mr0300 on the Nissan Forum. I'm flattening his firewall for him and detailing his engine bay. His 300 will easily be another Fast Fours front cover car.

Here you go Phanny,
                             The old dash needed a good makeover to get those tired instruments looking smick so I made a facia, centre console and old stereo covers out of alloy. The tunnel was a bastard but it's all good in the end.

And yes, I did your friend Emiles' intercoolers for him. Nice guy.
