Just wondering if anyones been out of late? Havent been in the last few weeks, due to the weather, and the fact no ones posted on here lol. Might be able to make it this friday, will see.

I was thinking about getting out there this week... SteadyEddy will prolly want to make an appearance too. Depends on what time Rebecca (daughter) finishes soccer.

i will be out within the next month (as soon as the guy with the 33 gets his shit into gear)

You don't need your Skyline to get there, come in anything... you should have seen what Jeno (R33Driftr) turns up in at times :)

And Tuk Tuk turned up with the water truck one night (on his way home from a job).

If you need a lift out there, which direction do you live? If you live my way, I'd be happy to pick you up... (let me rephrase that) I'd be happy to give you a lift :rofl:

I should be at the museum tonight, even if it's raining. Just thought might want to run through the plan of events for Marques in the park. Who does what etc. Will be asking the organisers if one of us needs to be there early to setup, or if they will have the area reserved so we don't need to worry about that.

I just heard that there's a formal on at the museum tonight starting at 7:30.......not that it makes any difference :)

Oh bummer... I laid the bait and you didn't bite :w00t: no fun at all... instead I'm gonna go to this thread and say something about a certain flower http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t191885.html at least I get bites there :laughing-smiley-014:

Ok discussed a few things. Theres some interested in us having a BBQ. If someone can bring some please put your hand up. I'm happy to buy some sausages etc. At this stage it would just be to keep ourselves fed. Although I can ask if we can get a permit.

I will be talking with Bullet32 re the federal tent. We will be sending final numbers to Bruce around the 11th, to secure a spot relative to how many are attending, So please post if you can before then if you can't make it etc, or know someone else who is coming along. Jon (aa2089) will be making arrangements to pick up the SAU NSW Banner. Apart from that All I can think of is we need a table or two, to put some stuff on. I'll be talking with Bruce to determine when one of us first needs to be there in the morning to secure our spot.

Showers predicted tonight - how would people feel about meeting up at my place for drinks/coffee, nibbles and a chat instead of standing in the rain? Can come earlier if you prefer, I'll be home from about 7:30pm and would enjoy the company.

Jeno/Jo, if you come, bring your thumb drive so I can give you your in car video footage of the hillclimb. Congratulations on winning 3rd in your first hillclimb :PBJ: well done!

I'm going to keep it out of the forum, but will tell you tonight about my falling victim to a recent attack on my car while we were still in it. I still havent recovered, I'm still in shock that this type of thing can happen and how powerless we are.

Edit: For those who don't know where I am, PM me for address and write it down in case the forum goes down as it did last event.

Thats insane LadyBytes!! Never thought those sort of attacks happened in the ACT. Are you / was it north or southside?

I'm slowly getting my backside into gear to try and come out to these nights. Just making the most of the year before my missus goes to Norway for 6 months. So time is of the essence..

Southside, totally unprovoked, a 'potential' carjacking went wrong perhaps? Who knows, I'm pretty upset over the whole thing.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
