why is there no race tracks??

They have tracks:

Kwinana Drag complex which is similar setup to WSID (good facility!!)

Barbagello (where V8 supercars run each year)

So they have better facilities than us as we dont even have a drag strip!!

Do you mind me asking what you study at uni?

And i agree gotta love companies paying for hotels and meals. taxi's, etc, etc.

I'm completing a double of Chemical Engineering and Finance :blink: *sigh* finally on my last year

There is plenty of work out there but I always worry that I wont find a job! A lot of companies have great graduate programs. I'm think minerals proc/mining or oil & gas...

At the moment I'm happy to move away or stay in SA...

im about to murder someone.

i need to be up for work in about 5 hours,

and for the last 90+ minutes ive been kept awake by the noise of a droning diesel engine somewhere nearby..

how very f**king annoying.

Any one have a link to the rb30 conversion, iv looked at the one on SAU but it too long 290+ pages

Need info on whats needed. Iv got the rb30e from a 89 r31 and my top end from my 33 gts-t. Iv got around 8 grand to put into my engine (internals) but have been thinking of the conversion any info would be goood

this is your wasteland?

:excl:

Yes, this is our wasteland

LOL, You call it that but really it isnt :P

Hmm I need to speak to you about something :wacko:

Will email you tommorrow :)

sif still on the same page peeps....your wasteland is the ghey! :laughing-smiley-014:

get pauly in here to whore it up :laughing-smiley-014:

Well, rather than starting a new thread, I thought I may do a little re-introduction of myself here ;

My name's Lee, and recently I purchased an R33 GTS-t. I've been a member of SAU for almost 3 years, the amount of time it took me to convince the wife a '33 was a good thing to have! LOL

I've been interested in imports for about the last 5-6 years, but took me till now to be in a position to buy one. I'm 26 now so insurance is reasonable (at long last) and I finished my studies in Electrical Engineering just under 18 months ago (end 2005). I now work as an Electrical Engineer in the city, and some of my previous cars I've had have been:

75 GC Galant (first car)

81 XD Falcon S pack

95 EF Fairmont

91 R31 Silhouette

96 EFII Fairmont Ghia (Manual!!)

and now my R33 :)

I also currently own a 2006 Mazda SP23 which is the daily. Well its sort of mine and my wifes. I drive her to work in the SP23 most days, and take it on to my work. But if she needs the car for something else that day, I drive the '33

So a little about me to revive this dead in the water wasteland!! :D

Not sure how many other people are recent members or been hiding in the dark so some intro's of yourselves would be good to get to know people. I plan to make it to some cruises, but work and family generally restricts me to Sunday Cruises, so need more sunday cruises!! :woot:

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
