Good question. We got one of his split dump/fronts installed. I don't think there is anything wrong with them but... it was put in without being supported and split (as in cracked). Since being repaired it has performed fine. El Bee

I had this sound very recently (see the link), sounds pretty much the same to me. Was perfect one day and sounded crook at startup the next. Had never used oil before and found that it was down to half dipstick when I checked it after the sound. El Bee http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=2468684

I was thinking it was down low but the mechanic said that he had heard it a couple of times before on RB's. Turned out to be valve guides. Running quiet again now. Still has the fast cold idle but that is a separate issue for the tuner when we can get back to Sydney. Enjoy! El Bee

Thanks Morgs, but not it (although that was one of the possible scenarios given). The car (R33 GTSt) is a daily driver and was perfect one day and stuffed the next, and had only been tested a couple of times on the strip months before (with ordinary results). El Bee

Agreed. We didn't do anything but arrange to get it towed and fixed. She is purring again now but it did cost. Just wondering if anyone knows, or can guess, what it was. El Bee

Not sure how links work here but I found a post of a while ago about how to replace the "grain of wheat" bulbs in the aircon unit. Hopefully it is shown below. If not, you could always try search.

Has anyone heard this sound before, or would hazard a guess as to what it is. I have since learned what it was and has cost me a fair bit. Any takers ? El Bee ps It was revving high before this problem, something we will get to eventually. pps The noise wasn't there one day and appeared the next. Clunk_12.wmv

As of this arvo, I find now that it comes up as error. From then on it shows me as "guest". El Bee

Yeah, Ulladulla is for the Nowra folk on route to Batemans Bay etc. El Bee

Any word on Ulladulla meet-up yet ?

Thanks, Yes the angle allows the basket to fit in the "D" shaped hole in the body (just). No cutting of the body or spacers needed. El Bee

Has been covered a number of times. Please disregard as you see fit. El Bee

The guage I had then showed 17 lbs a coupla times before it went. I had built an Electronic Boost Controller was dialling it in with a gut full of piss and my Son at the wheel. It may have been a combination of me fiddling with the load points and a lack of consistency in the runs. Anyway, that turbo was certainly not a freak. It got 184 rwkw on a dyno day (maybe a bit friendly even). El Bee

All this talk of different Dyno's, and prove it on the track etc, really amuses me. The thread title is........... 319wrhp Standard Turbo! (maybe). You cannot prove any of this without dismantling the turbo. FULL STOP. And any of you other guys with "freaks" should think about this. I know my Turbo was "hi-flowed", as I had it done when I killed it (as stock) with too much boost. I wonder how much anyone else knows how stock their turbo is ? Will continue to watch this space with amusement. El Bee

Yes there was another thread about his but.. cooks44 has it down pat, but I would say that you can re-use the blue rubber covers as I did (if you can't find them elsewhere, I didn't look) Using a toothpick, you should be able to gradually winkle the blue condom off the tiny globe. El Bee

Yeah Mate. Not many around. Commonly known as "Ice Green". Don't want to hijack so all I can say is IT'S DUCAN'S FAULT !. Pretty lame eh ? El Bee ps I do like the Blue originally posted (back on track).

Gday Duncan, This one ? El Bee ps. Just noticed the twin 4by's in the background !

Thanks mate. Will pass on the best wishes. Anyone spotting the other Ice Green R33 please give them a wave, at least, it will be much appreciated. Enjoy! El Bee

If you are talking about ramps, can I assume that you are just talking about oil changes and the like ? If so, you can use standard car ramps on your very low Skyline. This may be just for the other guys if this is not your intention. What you do is turn your steering full lock, place one ramp only on the side that has the wheel protruding and drive sideways up this ramp. I have been doing this for a couple of years now for oil changes. Apologies if this is a hijack or a well known thing but.... hope it helps someone out. Enjoy! El Bee

Gday all, My Wife and Son will be heading to Toowoomba from NSW South Coast today for family reasons. No set itinerary once there so let me know if anything is going on etc and I will pass it on. Would especially like to meet up with Belgarian if that is possible to admire another Ice Green R33. SE QLD here they come. Enjoy! El Bee & Humbla

He's not on this forum ? So, I can say whatever about him ? Nice guy, nice car. Looking forward to saying gday again. El Bee

Ah yes, this was my first, 1968 HR column shift. Mine was two tone blue/white (I think I still owe my older brother $200, not sure). Went through a few others including HT Holden, Mini, Mazda 100 Coupe, Fairmont GS, VH Commodore. After that came VL Commodore, Aussie Nissan R31 (with same motor) and then R33 GTSt. Blissfully happy with the R33 now, and glad to have driven different styles of car beforehand. Enjoy. El Bee

Unsure about Waynos at this point. Kano has advised of a Nowra meet. Hopefully all good. El Bee

Humbla and I are in. e-mail sent to Kano that two old farts from Nowra are going to be there. See ya there Paul and all. Hope there is a meetup at Bateman's Bay or something. Enjoy! El Bee :thumbsup

You apologise that we were in the wrong category. I didn't see anywhere on the form regarding stock or not. I do await a reply to my PM. Over and out. El Bee
