saw gary1 and nizchic at qr along with a silver 33 sporting the new style sau sticker in the carpark as well

yes i have the same problem, the mechanisim under my window switch is buggered, i just put up with it

i always drive slowly for the first minute or so, mainly to let the oil circulate sufficently through the engine and turbo ect. warming up the car well, my car runs like a non turbo untill its up to operating temperature so i just drive it conservativly till it reaches operating temperature. i wouldnt sit on the spot and let it warm up, it would take 10 mins or so

spoted a gunmetal 32 gtr on thursday night, followed me outta yatala bp and headed north with me for a while, no personalised plates seen a gunmetal 33 heading south at least twice now, looks to have a gtr style wing and bbs look wheels. seen a silver 33 series 2 i think, on the way out to a job site at tamborine at least twice now, he gives me a wave back when i pass him.

incidently your oil pump is driven directly off your crank, so unless you smashed the living hell outta the front of your engine, id imagine its fine. i think your after a powersteering pump there cheif.

happy bday jason sam looks like you spent some time on that one

lol yer but she got what i meant hehehe sorry what chris said then.

id recomend gavin woods ideally for skylines, simply cause when it comes to them, he definatly knows what he is on about.

pm me if you find yourself wanting to sell the datalogit seperatly

gavin woods autotech know what they are on about. one thing to remember is in japan a lot of cars arnt used as daily drivers, however what gordon said is correct, take the car and have a 100 tho service as soon as you get it, that way you know everything is up to date (ie timing belt, water pump ect) this kinda service isnt cheap, but its cheaper in the long run. also get whatever mechanic to perform a compression test and a leakdown test on the engine, these 2 will tell you if there is anything majorly wrong with the engine iirc.

top effort on the pics guys keep em coming john you show pony. cant say im no better i managed to get a hand out the window or sunroof a few times LOL

not to mention a free dousing with diesel and water eh eug

certainly sounds good, more than worth it too. perhaps take a friend along who knows what they are looking at and check it over carefully. cut and shuts arnt too hard to sniff out

Skylines Australia Qld also organises skidpan events for its members.

lol i didnt see ur post daniel, but yer thats what i did to cut the hole in my s13 for its stock cooler setup (s13 was a ca18de thats since been swapped for a sr20det)

masonry bit you may as well stand there with the hose and try and blast your way through. you need a proper hole saw made for use with steel, or a steel drill bit, another option is use a drill bit to drill a small slot out then use a reciprocating saw to cut the hole out, be warned this isnt a pretty way to do it, it ends up pretty messy

nice effort cyrus. go to a decent tool shop such as tradetools or glennfords and get a steel holesaw suitable for the size of your cooler pipe. on a r33 you will have to remove your washer bottle obviously. use an electric drill to drill the hole, its advisable to use cutting oil or a holl drilling spray to save your new hole saw otherwise you will **** the teeth on it. also dont go too fast at it or again you will heat the metal up and screw the teeth on the holesaw. cutting the rio use an angle grinder, make sure you actually hang onto it and dont test the sharpness of the blade on your fingers. be carefull using powertools, they can do nasty things in the wrong hands.

yer cyrus, cant exactly miss your car. i didnt have to be at work till late on monday so i got to sleep in a bit. :zzz:

i didnt get an exhaust test but i did get a funny look when the cop saw my car "mate why the hell did you get a noise defect?" "bunch of manifold studs snapped off" "oh i see, come in side and sign this and thats it"

its the leather, it makes you do strange things, damn that car is comfortable to go cruising in, bad luck on the speeding ticket mate

make sure your hose clamps are all done up gordo

just come up with a plate that suits what you intend to do with your car, or how you think it describes your car. they are called personalised for a reason. tip for you tho, dont use a plate that doesnt represent how you drive your car or your cars attitude, ie fst32 wont suit you cause there are a lot faster 32s gettin round.

blk32 ?

should be able to attend, at least for a little while, wont know for sure till the end of the week tho
