HAHAHA i drove my R33 GTS-T to school for the first day today. Im in yr 12, and i pulled up out the front, my whole year was like WTF LOL, and ne way when i decied to skip the last 2 periods (it was liek 38 degrees) a fellow student in a late 80's FORD Falcon sedan, yelled out RICE BURNER! HAHAHAH

I question, my mate has a Twin Turbo Supra a 86model, 2 lt, and i suspect the boost is wound right up say 1 bar, and it has a Factory blow of valve. This mate is a mechanic and assures me mine has one too, however when he backs off or shifts i her a shhhhhhh, like a blow of not, a heeps loud one, and it will even do it slightly at like 3-4 RPM.

Mines nothing like this :)

Standard exhaust, on my line, standard air boc.

He's got a 3" right through and a pod?

Would this be the differece.

Thanks Michael

my whole year was like WTF LOL

haha kids these days speaking in TLA IRL (:P).

I remember when me and my mates used to rock up to school in cressidas, corollas, falcons and shit, and they were cool simply for the fact that you and 4 mates didn't have to catch the school bus.

As for your BOV issues, yes a pod will make it louder, alternatively an aftermarket BOV instead of the factory plumb back unit will also help you be fully sik and hektik.

When i was in grade 12 my car was only 2 years old.... LOL

And at this time way out of my budget....

In 6 years you will have an r34 GTR and you will look back and say what a piece of crap (in comparison) LOL

I drove a 1300cc torana to school... Did little tyre squeels in reverse at redline and dump (4000rpm.,... LOL) What a heap of sh$t

When I was in Year 12 ( almost 10 years ago) i used to rock up in a mid 80's Toyota Crown Royal Saloon (coomplete with factory fridge). No one cared what car you owned, fact was you had a car the rest of the "peasents" were on the bus.

Back in the day of year 12, the coolest guy in the grade well so called coolest, had the Nissan EXA with the doof doof system.

We all drove our shitters, and I had my camry with my doof doof system. Its pretty much the factor of who had the loudest sound system!!!

The year after finishing, I bought my line... The guy who had the exa bought himself an impala

I was trying to do the maths on this..... and it wasn't adding up..

I was trying to figure if you'd "stayed back a year" or started school late...

Then I realised you live in NSW and can get a licence at 17. :)

as if there's not already enough peer pressure with just having to wear the 'in' clothes, the 'in' shoes, (and accessories) the 'in' hairdo, the 'in' deodorant and having the coolest contact on your books and the most fully sik calculator-cum-pda/phone/mp3 player, you have to drive the right car as well? :)

Are you sure the guy said "rice burner"?

If you yell "NICE CAR" it sounds very similar B)

dammit where'd the rest of the thread go?!??

:) I cleaned a couple of uncalled for 'nasty' posts out of here last night, but I didn't leave the thread "empty" like it is now!

Back in '88 when I was finishing VCE I was the only kid with a licence (I was half a year older then most kids due to a dicrepancy between german and australian school years ;-)

So for one brief half year I was the coolest kid in class with the aid of my Dad's Landcruiser (wipes nostalgic tear from corner of eye)

The young ones - they grow up so fast now

At my school only a very small proportion of people had their own car during year 12. And none of them were nice. One kid had a Q's Silvia, and he was king of the hill :P.

Due to being skipped ahead a year in primary school (nerd!!!) I didn't get my license until half way through 1st year university. Then I got to drive around in the powerhouse that is my mother's automatic 1995 Hyundai Lantra.

Even worse, I couldn't drink alcohol in the tavern at uni until half way through first semester of 2nd year!!! Damn being young!!! The advantage is that I am only 20 years old, but I have my engineering degree and I am in full time engineering work :( .

if you had a car you were "top shit" in my year , i had a little pulsar which i riced up with hubbies , 10 dollar gear know, 10 dollar metal pedals . also STEL bought me a screw on muffler tip which mad a HISSSSSSS sound as you drove ahahah, i pretended to drive a turbo how sad :P at least i got the rice stage out of my system ... then i bought my r33 :(

Haha, pimpin' yo!

Just about everyone in years 11 & 12 at my school had their license, so there were usually cars as far as the eye could see outside. I just thought it was great when my mum didn't have to work and I got to take her little silver 'Rolla instead of catching the bus XD

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
