Primordial

Its on like Donkey Kong biiiaaatch!

Installed my dials today, very happy with the result!! Heres some pics:

Got mine today too.. Great work Kezza!! Cheers

DEAL! Heh heh heh ... sucker!

From previous experience usually if you're way out-gunned or far too quick for the group you are shuffled up or down... It's in everyone's best interest to be in the right group so you're not constantly being held up by slower cars, nor holding up faster cars! I would assume that swapping groups would be likely.

Now we're talking - 'Ram raid vehicle of choice' thread. I'd go for a Dodge SRT-10 (Pickup truck with a Viper engine!)... I saw one of those in Syd the other day... beast - pity its built like a Mitsubishi

haha... sarcasm just dont work without emoticons!

Hehe yep.. Mike is probably one of the most experienced track whores around!

This is a valid issue^^^ Anyone care to share what they do to get the remaining oil out?

Bummer Money hungry insurance companies strike again!

Just out of interest Adam, who owns the timing equipment that has been used at the previous official SAU days?

Ahh sorry mate, upon looking at the service manual it seems that the RB26 has a different method of attaching the intake, I was talking about the RB25DET. I've attached the service manual for the R33 RB26DETT, which should be exactly the same as the R32 for this kind of thing anyway. You can see that there isnt in fact any rubber washers on the RB26 like the ones I was talking about! I would have a go with the water initially to see if you can locate a specific location for a leak (if any) and go from there. Skyline_R33_RB26_Intake_Service_Manual.pdf

Careful dude... The new Lizzeh mobile is going to be very quick, and you've only had one day's experience! Crikey.. the official thread hasnt even started yet!

Be careful... There is a specific torque setting that the bolts need to be done up to.. The reason for this is that you dont want to completely squash the rubber washer that sits below it. The rubber washer works as a buffer to allow the inlet plenum to sit flush with the gasket. If you over-tighten the bolt, then the plenum wont sit flat and flush. Once the rubber washers are deformed, you increase your risk of losing a seal with the gasket. Get your hands on the service manual, it shows the torque settings for the bolts, and shows what parts should NOT be re-used when dismantling/reassembling the intake. The parts that should not be re-used are the plenum gasket, throttle body gasket, and the nine rubber washers (on the RB25DET). Are you sure there is a leak there? The sound might just be induction noise? At idle, try dripping a small amount of water over joints in the intake. If there is a leak, you will see the water get sucked in, and the engine might skip a beat quickly. Dont use too much water obviously...

Blankeys... for Liz to cry into when he gets OWNED (traitor!)

Yo! Spotted a Black R33 with a GTR wing on Mova Vale Rd after that... Gave a .. got a ..

Yep, I'm a certainty for this one Adam..

Cool! Xizor, let me know what turns up in the kit -- Also, the stuff was coming via snail mail yeah? Just need to know when to look out for it

thats exactly what I do They say chivalry is dead? It was the bitches that don't say "thanks" that killed it!!

Once my kit arrives, I'm gonna see how many LED's are needed, and place an order with this mob: http://www.ledshoponline.com/automotive_dashboard_bulb.htm The T5 LEDs (which Im pretty sure the skyline has in the dash) are only $2 each... And they are the new "Wide Angle" ones as quoted above... As per the first post, there is 8 LEDS in the dash... so you can buy your own LED kit for $16 + $9 Shipping Note - I only just looked this company up now... sorry to those guys who have purchased through the group buy. Im sure those ones will come with instructions and will be better quality led's anyway

I take it the stuff isnt being sent via express post Kezza? Normal snail mail aye?

This will help when it comes to pulling apart the car as well... R32: http://www.cyberstork.com/cgi-bin/howto.cg...p;imgtp=skyline R33: http://www.cyberstork.com/cgi-bin/howto.cg...amp;imgtp=ecr33

This is the second or third GB, so I dare say there will be another

Ahh too late. Sorry Adam, I got the gasket in there yesterday - Shame you couldnt offload the gasket to me and get it out of your garage! Unfortunately I only had beer in stock anyway! It turned out to be the rubber washers that space the bolts off the plenum - the washers had deteriorated and you could actually move the top of the plenum around because these washers were stuffed. Changed the plenum gasket, throttle body gasket, and all nine of these washers while I was in there too... Problem solved! Thanks for your help guys
