Did anyone see this?

Cops were following the R33 cos it was suspected of being used in some armed robberies, then they cornered it in Wiley Park...and the guy drove straight at the cop hitting his hand and knocking his gun to the ground. One of the cops fired about 4 shots at the R33.

I hope it's no ones car from here :P

Channel 7 said "Skyline" over and over again..

but I saw the Channel 9 report as well, and they just said the stolen "car" - didn't even say it was a Skyline at all or even a Nissan!

I think Channel 7 have to keep their viewers up to date with how bad these cars are, because armed robbers and hoons drive them, they can justify their stories on TT :mad:>_<

Quote: It is believed one officer then got out of his car - and it is alleged the Skyline tried to run him down.

Funny how it was the 'Skyline' who tried to run the cop down, and not the Skyline's DRIVER!

Oh yeah, I've noticed that Channel 7 (especially on Today Tonight) love to sensationalise a lot more than the other stations.

hitting his hand and gun only? - Was it just a bad Driver, how hard is it to take a cop out?

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
