Run-It-Hard

I couldn't think of a reason why they'd be different. It's the same chassis?

It's been crazy alright! Here I was thinking I'd have a car that wouldn't need many mods for me to enjoy and just get out there and have fun/improve etc... It has been a massive rollercoaster and now the ride is coming to a stop for a bit, after I've returned this shitty engine. I've lost out quite a bit from this saga, We've had to tow the car back and forth a few times, extra labour on fixing shit wrong with the engine and buying parts that should have already been in the engine and all that jazzz. But hey it's better then nothing and I'll have the piece of mind that the block won't last on me lol. No way it'll make EC, new goal is november Matsuri lol Benny, Jeff and I will be there erm today, only Benny will be out drifting though. It'll be good to close this chapter, that's for sure!

Schwing! the game changer once again!! After roughly 6 weeks of struggling to get in contact with Alister and Joanne from Hyperform/Powerplay. I’ve finally had some progress regarding this engine failure. 2 weeks ago, I had advised them that I will be taking legal action if my demands aren’t met. At the time this is what the Dept. Of Fair Trading had informed me to do. Anyway tonight, the eve of the 14th day, I received a call from Jo. The “conversation” got quite heavy (as you’d expect) about what went wrong, how it went wrong, the variables on what could have caused it to go wrong … basically trying to say because they weren’t the last person to work on the car so it could be anyones fault. As you could imagine, I reacted to this and shit got out of proportion. I think it was well deserved though, seeing that it’s taken over six weeks to get where we are tonight. I think it’s long over due and that this should have been over a long time ago if they wanted to put the effort in. Anyway, Jo and Alister are happy to issue me a refund once I return the engine. I’m going to do just that, I want this ordeal to be over with so I can get on with getting my R33 up and running again. PROGRESSION

It doesn't have the silencers unfortunately. Your local autobarn/supercheap would have some though. I don't really like them though, I had one many moons ago and it litterally popped out of the exhaust. Happy to ship. Yep for a R33 2 door, It'll fit a 4 door too as the tips come out past the bumper by 20-30mm

’s the charm The belief that the third time something is attempted is more likely to succeed than the previous two attempts. It is also used as a good luck charm – spoken just before trying something for the third time. If you’ve been following the build on my R33 the past couple of months, then you’ll know I’ve had just no luck with it so far. Well as the saying goes, ”The third time’s a charm”. I’m praying that this saying can pull this car into gear and demolish the curse that has been set upon my Nissan Skyline. Tuesday morning, 12am I met up with Daniel and I purchased a RB25 head off him. It’s missing a few bits and pieces which is all good. As it has the complete valvetrain which is what’s needed to get the RB25 back to life. This will be installed, and a few small things will be changed on the car at the same time. If all goes well (seriously, how many times have I said that?!) I might just make that epic day at Eastern Creek, that Driving Sports are currently organising. THE THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM

bump!

Keeping it guys, cheers.

Still on the car due to this stupid weather, hopefully I can get it off this weekend..

All sorted, cheers guys!

Hey, I'm after an RB25 head needs to be complete and in good working condition. Preferabley in Syd. let me know what you've got. Adam.

Bump!

Tips are fine, as you can see in the first photo they are pretty much polished up. There are a few marks and imperfections as you'd expect. It is an exhaust after all.

Check out the vid I haven't had the chance to hear it on the car, long story short my rebuilt engine fell apart.

I've got my Trust DD exhaust up for grabs. I've decided to make a custom system for maximum ground clearance (my car is 20mm off the floor with kit). It has been modified, we've removed the two rear flanges and welded it to make it one piece. I did a quick restore on it, removing rust and gave it a fresh coat of paint. 3 inch single exiting out to 2 1/4 pipes. No problems with restrictions as my car made 315kw on 15psi with this setup. Due to the size, pickup would be best but I am happy to ship at buyers expence. Price: $400 ono located in Liverpool region, NSW PM me! Adam.

SOLD!

SOLD!

I've decided that I should make the R33 skyline my priority in getting it running again. These wheels were intended for my Nissan Stagea but it'll have to wait for quite some time. They are: Superstar - Leon Hardiritt Waffes Platinum silver finish 18 x 9.5 +-0 (90mm dish) 18 x 10 - 6 (105mm dish) 5x114.3 They are quite a stylish wheel, would look great on a big sedan or anything VIP styled. They are in average condition, all the lips have gutter rash (pictured is the worst) and one of the rear lips has rust on it. So they would need to be polished to come back to it's original condition. They also have Leonhardritt centre caps and valve covers. It's a regrettable sale, I don't really want to let them go (I don't really need to either but it's for the best). I doubt there are many Leon Hardritt wheels running around in Aus, here's your chance to rock something unique. Price: $2000 shipped anywhere in Australia. I am slightly negotiable, but I won't let them go for much less. Located in Liverpool region, NSW. PM me if you are interested. Thanks, Adam.

Alright, want these gone. $320 shipped anywhere in Australia!

Sunday was the day that Ali was ment to swing by, and have a chat about this engine failure we have on our hands. Here I was hoping to get something happening with it all, instead of the car sitting around. He was ment to be at my house “around 2PM” to “inspect it”. I got a call from Jo at 2:30PM stating that they wouldn’t make it. So they’ve struck again, further delaying this whole ordeal. Julie, Anth and I were pissed to say the least (more so Julie, she was furious!). So instead of getting all worked up. We to put the 33 on its guts. This is the final ride height for the car. I’m actually surprised the ISC coilovers have so much adjustment, they are maxed out though. t’s all I have to tell at the moment. Here’s hoping this whole ordeal gets sorted out swiftly. WAITING FOR NOTHING

Like I said I'm nego on price. Thanks for your observation though it is much appriciated..

I happen to have a knack for finding cool shit Decided to keep them, they'll go on a Stagea.

Ok here's some pictures

Last night after I went out with a few of the Run It Hard! gentlemen, I managed to get to my computer and go on a hunt. I’ve been doing this hunt every week or so since the pair of 18×12.5J Lehrmeisters arrived. I was looking for another pair. Hoping to make a set of kick ass wheels. But they’ve been impossible to find. Upon my searching, I discovered they were replicas of the AC Schnitzer type III wheels. I also discovered that AC Schnitzer destroy replications of their wheels in public, among other things. I kept digging around, and I could only find a couple old advertisements in the US and UK. There is no information to be found on these wheels. They are no longer listed on the Lehrmeister website, I couldn’t even find any images of them, after searching multiple terms on Google Japan. I told myself, that if I couldn’t find a pair tonight, I’m going to order some Work Meisters. It was 4am, my eyes were closing shut but I just had the urge to keep going. I felt like I was hot on the trial, even though I was on the verge of exhausting every resource I had. My persistence has paid off, I did in fact find another pair of these Lehrmeister wheels in 18 inch. The width and offset is less than desirable but that’s an easy fix. I’m just so happy that I’ll be able to have a matching set of these awesome looking wheels. MIX AND MATCH
