Haha i will ask him on Monday..

Yeah i texted Leon he said he's got nothing laying around, my mate couldn't organise a trailer anyway so he didn't end up coming.

Anyone else head out to TnT last night? Really good turn out of spectators and a good number of cars, was a good night

That would be super. Is it not roadworthy or was there another reason for it being trailered? Just need it to be able to drive around the block to test. Hopefully it plays up to so I can get a replacement and it will be problem solved

It's probably not roadworthy but the car isn't registered. Randall is on this forum but he doesn't post much.

I need someone who is willing to drive about 1km down the road in an R33 gtst lol

Got my oil cooler sandwich plate on today, finally got that and the cooler the other day. Had been sitting at the post office since the 21st of November but the useless delivery drivers either didnt leave a note or put it somewhere stupid and it blew away

[89CAL]

Minor updates for the hell of it,

Oil cooler sandwich plate on:

Got a real Greddy BOV:

All LED rear lights:

[89CAL]

Also still looking for someone with an R33 GTST I can plug this power FC into and see if its the unit or my car with the problem

If anyone knows someone whos willing to help out it would be good. No hard running, the problem is at lower RPM on and off throttle so wont need to thrash the car or anything

Let me know

[Force Fed]

I think i'm convinced on getting the LED tails now......

but later. LOL

[daywalker05]

are they the qest ones cal, i got some a while back. very bright, but very nice.

[89CAL]

There just the JJR ones, but I think they are East Bear rip offs.

Either way they look good (better in real life then the photos) and didn't cost much at all My old OEM ones were leaking and I was going to re-seal them but I just thought I'd buy new ones instead

The Qest ones look better being All LED's everywhere. Mine just have LED globes that I got for the reverse and the indicator lights.

[daywalker05]

kool kool, ah i was looking at the jjr ones for a bit, but couldnt find the all led ones just brake. so found a guy doing the qest ones. they make a simple light looka whole lot better. hows your rig comin along, is that a second motor your doing, or you have pulled ur car apart. find anyone for the computer run yet.

[Force Fed]

Shrek, one piece RB26 crankshaft keyway, worth getting one made? It seems Will has accidently left mine out when he sent back to me..... Pretty sure it wouldnt be hard to get one done around here if it's a worthy option.

Engine is at a standstill till the Crank gets balanced, Apparently everyone wants theirs done before christmas so might not see it till the new year. Other then that it's pretty much ready to bolt together I think.

Mine's still on the road with my original engine in it, learnt my lesson from Other people on here

And I'm still looking for another 33 to test the Power FC out in. Hopefully if its dodgy in that to Apexi will be good with their warranty.

If you buy the timing gear + Backing plates they come with the keyways. So if its something you havent got yet it might be worth talking to Kudos or whoever about it. I got mine from Kudos with both keyways so was pretty happy

[89CAL]

[daywalker05]

[Force Fed]

I just ordered new tensioner kit from KMS and Will has my keyway which he's sending up, I asked him about a one piece keyway... mentioned it would be stronger, unneeded and require crank out really.

NO THANKS CAPTAIN. ILL MAKE DO

[89CAL]

Apparently I was wrong,Crank is ready to be picked up

some progress pics from today, did some mucking around working out where to run some lines, and also put the cams in. Sump is clean now as is the pickup, amazing what a few weeks in a dip tank will do:

[Force Fed]

Looking good mate!!!

I might take my oil filter n shit to work tomorrow and keep throwing some more small things on the motor

[89CAL]

Just remembered.....

Has anyone been to the refurb Caltex on Nebo rd? Does it have E-flex/E85 whatever it is now?

[KING87]

Dunno doubt it tho we are always a fair bit behind the rest of the country. We still don't have 100 octane here yet lol.

Anyone know what the story is with the silver 180 plates 18ZRO? Been parked on the side of the road for a few weeks at the roundabout that heads out to blacks beach?
