Hey guys, Ive just learnt that CF bonnets are illegal here in WA. So i dont think i will go ahead with this, as i cant afford to be defected!! hahaha Looks like im stuck with my plain white bonnet =(. However if anyone still interested let me know, and i can put u in contact with supplier. Cheers.

bad luck really does follow eh matty

**i have posted this under the "wanted" area.. but after seeing the amount of replies/views per topic (next to none), i deicded to post it here as well... Hope the admins dont mind too much.... ** I recently seen a few cars with carbon fibre bonnets, and now i want one! I had a chat with another SAU WA member who has one, and he directed me to the person who he sourced it off. Ive contacted that person, and he has informed me he has none in stock however he can get them in for $650 including freight, but he needs at least four people to obtain that price. Im aussuming for that price, it would be a coat of carbon fibre with fibreglass underneath, however i will confirm this with him...he is also sending me some pictures tomorrow, which i will post up so you guys can have a look at them. At this time, this is just out of interest, if you have any interest at all, please let me know (thru pm) and ill discuss further with you to confirm. Also ive asked him if the $650 includes him installing the bonnet, as soemtimes it can be a bit tricky to line it all up... I hope there are at least 3 of you that want them! cause i want one!!!! Cheers guys/girls Brendan

Thanks for your input guys! im off on thursday to do a test run with the photographer. Ill let you know how it all goes. =)

hm no idea! But im loving my HKS Hipermax D's!!

Just try changing the gear box oil. There are heaps of DIY on the DIY forum. Check it out. For an r33 GTS T, i would and have opt for Redline Shock proof light. You will need 1 gallon (3.8 litres), and you will use nearly all of it. You will have a little bit left over. Its not 4.2, rather approx 3.7 litres, not sure where he got that figure from, and street cars are best to use redline shock proof LIGHT (the blue one) not the heavy one.(the yellow one). =)

squatting is the way to go! =D I read in Imports Mag (skyline special edition), they actually had an article on achieving 11seond time slips. That actually the original suspension provides the best "squatting' for drag racing. stiff suspension (like mine! HKS Hipermax D). Not the way to go, due to excess wheel spin. Hope it helps!

gibbos south street sell a good quality one. Can be re used many times. plus for bonus they are west aussie owned ! =D I try not to buy stuff from super cheap.. EDIT: Erm, thats counting that you are in WA lol!. You didnt state what state you were from

Hey Dan, Just a quick question, whens the next lot of packs getting sent out? Eager to display the SAU WA sticker... the new one looks really good.

U should join up with SAU WA. Come along on one of the cruises. Im sure any of us will be glad to give your a car a look over =)

How is it to light? 5W is only the cold weight... and will only be light while the engine is cold. Once it heats up, the hot weight 40 is sutiable for the Rb25. As nissan Reccomends hot weight of 30. Maybe it will be different for you, as it seems that you use your car for track.. meaning the car will be pushed hard. But for Street i see no problem with that oil.

photographer and model are both friends of mine... so total cost = $0 ill post up the pics when i do this, it will be this month sometime for sure. Im going to scope out locations next week. I quite like the idea of that BP nickel place. Sounds interesting. After you can take a look at the pics and if you like it, i dun mind to intro you to the photographer. =)

just a nice setting i guess, im open to ideas. =)

Planning to take my car on a photo shoot soon, and was wondering if any of you guys will be willing to part with you "secret" locations for taking photos of cars. I was wanting to take it around dusk... ive got photographer and model organised already, just need to think of a nice place to take the photos. Oh yeah, im south of the river.. so preferably somewhere not to far away from me!

better to be locked, and unable to unlock then for it to be unlocked and unable to lock ..

Hey guys~ Im not new to SAU forums, been member since.. october i think! But i just joined up on SAU WA. Finally got around to doing it. =) Cant wait to display the sticker on my window =) Name: Brendan House: South of the River D.O.B: 17/04/1987 Cars: White r33 skyline 1995 Job: Cafe in Freo + Student at curtin.. (if u count that as a job) Interests: Cars, Computer games... the usual. Music: RnB, Korean, Chinese. Places to find me on a friday night: At the workshop working on my car! Sleeping, maybe dotaing! If none of the above.. casino would be the next best bet. Will post up pics of my ride soon. So keep an eye out! Cant wait to meet you all.

I have the official numbers for oil pressure from the Service Manual for the R33. I printed it out... YES its very long but it was worth it as i can have it next to me when working on the car. Below are the numbers from Nissan Japan Service Manual. RB20E: Idle: 1.0 2000rpm: 3.8 6000rpm: 4.8 RB25DE: Idle: 1.0 2000rpm: 3.3 6000rpm: 5.3 RB25DET: Idle: 1.1 2000rpm: 3.5 6000rpm: 5.6 RB26DETT: Idle: 1.5 2000rpm: 3.0 6000rpm: 4.6 *Note these are pressures after engine has reached operating tempreture and its based on 7.5 - 30 oil. Obviously if you use different oil then to that, pressures will vary.

my eyes will be peeled as well. Esp with the new info, easier to identify the guys car. Camera will be in my car ready to snap the rego plate. =)

Seems like a good thing, ill sign up and have a look around for any parts i might need =)

What paper was that from?

So your trying to say u can do ur test in automatic. wait a year and they automatically give u manual licence?? ?! What the hell! Over east got some really weird rules. And whats with green and red P's? Here in Western Australia, if you get an auto licence, you can only drive auto, no matter what time frame. And we only have one P plates. Which we have to show for 2 years, and after they you can take them down. Weird how australia is one country but every state seems to differ in rules. It should b universal i think. To save confusion =/

Yea i dont think u lose ur licence for getting more then 4 points in one hit.

afraid to get a little bit dirty? Thats the fun part about owning a skyline! =P

I wouldnt mind getting my self a set for my R33. How much would i be looking at?

You guys over east seem to have so many rules in regards in modified cars... Maybe you guys should consider coming over west! Not nearly as much rules about modifying your car over here!
