If ever visiting Trojan during the week pop by my work, FASTdigital, on vicars st. Spotted blue r33 with black rims driving towards belco around 21:30 - (coulter drive and southern cross drive intersection).

I can just pour the water myself into the edge around the boot. it definately comes in somewhere behind the tail lights, but can't see how, the lights are all properly tar'd in. However just noticed the rear panel of the car (sides) are filled with water from recently.. but that was cos I plugged the hole that I thought the water was coming in from - when inface it was coming out of. I've put the old pump back now that is working, it pumps, but was still not able to start the car. Does it need some sort of priming? it fired over a couple times, but only for a single beat then didn't work... Getting frustrated now, cos the pump is definately working...

How much would u want for the old one? Mine was an in tank walbro - gonna put it back and see if works any way, so fingers crossed now that has been cleaned out, flushed, and a filter put on!

Perhaps. But this is a nice Walbro one, and it seems to work, I've put the filter on the bottom and will give it a shot when get home.. *fingers crossed* If any issues re-occur, I know where to ask. Why the change in pump Kat? I may be willing to get it as a spare just in case depending on the price. I'll take all the inside panels out of the boot, and take a look and see if can see where water is coming in by pouring some water into the boot sill. I think the water is running behind the headlights then getting into the boot from there, cos the wood in the back was wet, as was the bottom edges of the side wall carpets near the lights. I can live with the moisture in the rear lights if I must, but not a wheel well fulla water!

Yeah, shall do. I don't even think that pump had been in there that long or many km's... But at least I can keep an eye on it, and it is a fixable problem.

Discovered my pump hadn't died. It just choked. Had it out, and was testing it on a battery, tapped it a couple times, whatever got caught in it came free, and all is good again. It choked cos when it was installed the teabag off the bottom of the standard pump wasn't put on it, so put that on, and now should be all happy and good. Will put it back in tonight - *fingers crossed* Next to sort out the water coming in from behind my lights...

That is what was in it and died.. I can get another, and hope it doesn't die again.... I got in and got the old pump out to take with me, and double check it is broken.

Yeh there was a small hole. I plugged it, and the wheel well FILLED UP, it was letting it empty, not the cause. I believe the cause is water is coming in behind the rear tail lights (the water that gathers in the boot lid gutter).

Well my fuel pump died last night. Luckily it just died as I was parking. I went to put the stock one back in, it makes a horrible grinding sound. Got it towed home for free in the end. Trying to get pump out so can get another one monday, and hopefully put it in - and not pay for another towing, and to get somewhere like trojan to do the whole job. Where do I get a new fuel pump, what should I get and what is it gonna cost me? Additionally, I can't actually work out how to get the fuel pump out. As in that tight black pastic ring that holds it on. Still to try to pull the rubber hoses off, but losened the hose clamps. Any one able to provide some help and advice. Additionally, my tire well was full of water, thats always fun *sighs* I'll have to work that problem out also.

SO we can't get any ueful parts off ya then? Ahh well.

Prob won't be out tonight. Doing stuff with the missus, and need to get to bed at a decent time - early morning. But will try to come out and catch you guys again another friday night, esp with the nice weather. Also keen to meet and do a few photo shoots sometime. I have a decent camera, and moderate skills. Just need ideas for locations, and a few others wanting to do some shots also (once the weather pans out better).

Now that is something wanna see f2f...

*BUMP*

The doors are kinda sweet, esp the way the rear doors open. Really means can get stuff in and out of that car. Very transformeresque. Just needs a few tweaks to make it less OMG.... The Juke was kinda hawt.

I'm most likely out for the 11th. I gotta be at a friends birthday bbq in Glebe park at 12. So thats not sounding promising for me to do the cruise.

Saw a nice white r33 parked out the front of the Casino around 5:30pm Also saw a black r33 with a huge wing driving past Manuka around 7pm.

Other parts I was looking for Rear wing brake light (stock square wing), drivers door control panel cover (mines been spray painted and has lotta damage), u know the handles on the roof in the back seat, well back left seat, right hand side of that handle, need the cover the goes over the screws. Any luck on these parts?

I should really pay more attention. Fair enough lol. I guess will see what you all decide to go with, and see how all goes then

Really sorry to hear. Do try to get some pics up if can. Shall keep an eye out.

Yeah fair enough. I was thinking this would be more of a short cruise thing, more focus on the meet up and spend most of the time doing the bbq, socializing thing (as opposed to a designated "just cruise" event).

I can only really do the morning of the 4th Dec. Have another bbq on at 12pm on the 11th. I'd vote for a 30-40min cruise max length. It may just be me, but a 1.5-2hour cruise before the bbq etc may not be best - at least for a a pre-christmas party cruise. If we wanna run a longer cruise, book it in as a cruise itself.

Ask 101 questions. And then, oh nah, cbf it costs money.

You're such a trouble maker Troy lol

Oh I love the car mate. I looked after it and kept it 100% all the time. Same as intend to do with the skyline. But I just cant afford to keep both + a motorbike. I'd have given it/sold it to my girl, but she wants her own car - as in a unique special one to her, rather than "my" car - as much as she likes it and keeps trying to steal it (cos she hasn't got her own atm). I really want it to go to a good home, and for somebody to appreciate all the work and effort that has gone in to it. I've done my best with this car to get the most from it. And always kept it as perfect as possible.
