Not tuned yet scotty, i've been lazy haha, thats only a fonecall away to get it done, i'm gonna get it cut'n'polished soon and just neaten it up a little for sale :) Yeah i should have got an r33 in the first place but it was a little out of my budget hehe.. Thanks for the pm's too dude's much appreciated :)

Saw a baysideblue R34 GTR parked in front of mooloolaba fish and chips shop this afternoon...nice.

and a white r33 gtst with plate 85URK... BISH..!

off to bed now....

lol , i liked when i saw u turning into your work street and i reved my car so the standard b.o.v went off, and u nailed it and let yours off! lol that was a classic! :P

Hey I'm Adam, I've got a midnight purple R33 GTS-T, Matty knows who I am. Been away from the coast for work for the last couple of months, Sucks being away but I'll be back in a week or so. Got the car booked in for some work I've been putting off for too long. Considering what I've got it booked in for it should be making some decent numbers when it comes out. We shall see :(

good to meet u. what does your car look like, any photo's?? im darren anyway. il probably see u around town when u get back from where ever u are working.

Hey adam...i think i might have seen your purple r33 gtst.. it was funny when my GF saw it,. she said

" hon,look at the skyline, he copied your car colour "

and i was like

umm... no,. originally its a nissan colour and it belongs to an r33 GTR.. so i was the copycat one. LOL.

anyways,.. it has gold rims by the look and stealth wing... looks nice.. saw you a few time around maroochydore...i drive the midnite purple supra.

bout the gold gtst,.. saw it a few times.. i think its from nambour coz i saw it there for the last 2 times i went there,. it was parked inside one of those panel beater place,.would have been nambour smash or the other one..unless paint was done there.. anyways,..nice colour though.

Hey dazz...found a metal polisher..had to send it down to brissy though but its cool... $100 to polish my front turbo housing..not bad i reckon.

Hi Darren, Hi Nismo33. Nah I don't have gold rims on my car but I've seen the one your thinking of. I just got a basic set of silver 5 spokers. Heres a couple of pics anyway. Engine work is pretty basic at the moment. Been limited by a few ignition problems that I've been putting off fixing for ages. Namely busted coil packs.

Hey scotty hows the gtr going now, all fixed and running back to normal? What time did ya's end up finishing up, long afer i left?? Haha i allways see you driving your womans subi, again today.. why is that?!?!

Roger, if you need polishing done take it to eather KV's resto and race or scott (TOY33) just got some done so he'll be able to tell ya where to get good stuff done at, his looks mint.

Dice thats a sweet looking GTR...

Ill be up the coast this coming thursday during the day for those who dont work or have thursday off ill be in calundra (spelling, i just know how to get there) and maby moolobar (spelling, drunk)

Caloundra -- Mooloolaba LOL

Matty,.. dheng dude.. where were u --- too late,.i already sent it down brisbane,.. i asked around the coast but none does 'em except chrome plating... so send it to xtreme polishing in underwood.

KV's race and resto definately does polishing, the guy that drives the sss pulsar with the kvs stickers on it does the polishing for them last i heard. You should try them, they mightn't do just polishing for people off the street but no harm in asking.

Hey

Cars all done :) after about 4weeks of not driving it I'm in love again :)

Finished putting all back together by about 10pm that night and warmed her up and went for a run with Marty ;) . Now holds 1.3bar with ease and still shoots 1 meter flames

What a s%#t job. For anyone out there with an RB26 changing turbo gaskets are not fun have to take both turbos out of the car to get to anything!

Hope to be out in it a little more now - don't think I'll sell it now, since Marty went through it with a fine tooth comb and after being in it said its one of the best 33's he's seen. Still not as quick as his 180 though :O Might keep it for a little longer anyway. Next thing is a tune, so if ya thinking of getting Matty to tune yours let me know and he might do both of ours a little cheaper at the same time. As you know mines got a Croydon Tune already so mine should be quick to complete.

Nismo33 - I got Nathan at Extreme Polishing in Underwood to do all my work so you went to the right place.

See ya round (not in the bloody 2 litre Subie (non turbo))

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
