lol. figured with the amount of genuine shit id thrown at it recently, id continue the trend. :D

not a bad price, was 30 odd beans for 3 litres of concentrate, and 10 bucks for 10 litres of demineralised water, so yeah, works out the same price as *insert name* coolant, just has a nissan badge on it. :D

im off overseas for a month in about 2 hours, is there anyone who thinks there up to my level of annoyingness to carry on my duties for said period?

duties entail:

- laughing at ruby.... alot.

- gettin talbo upset (easy task, altho he tends to try ignore. a pro knows ways around this)

- pushing luck with mods

if you achieve greater than a 20% warning during my time away then you can apply for a full time position.

kthxbaiiiiiiiii

ohhh P.S

in regard to payment, you go into the draw to win the internet. for proof of how awsome this prize is please refer to attached picture:

Ok, just had a weird thing happen with the 33.

Hasn't been driven for over a week, so i take it for a quick spin around the block. Get home and can smell burning rubber, popped the bonnet and the power steering belt has decided to walk off the pulley by one rib, but only on the pump pulley?

Belt is not over loose (possibly a little loose, no adjustment left, time for new shorter belt!)

Going to check harmonic balancer bolt, just to be on the safe side.

Hey Mitch, fork out $1200 for a lawyer like what I did. Then fork out $400 in court fee's and then another $300 in fines.

Even then, there's no guarantee you'll get off the fine.

if i had that kind of cash id be using it to get my car working man :)

That is weird. I'd take the option of a newer (correct size) belt.

Yeah just checked crank center bolt and thats tight. Belt was a 3pk855, reckon i'll go the 845. Just a bastard of a job getting to the tensioner nut though!

Well, I got to check out the 33 up on a hoist today and its very respectable underneath.

Got the Stagea booked into MV Automatics to have the solenoids replaced ... $630 :P

Also lined up a GTR box for the Stagea for the manual conversion later this year. Time to shop for the other bits :)

Try doing it in an RB S13 :) There is literally like 2cm between the harmonic balancer and the rad in my car (doesn't help that i have a fking huge rad in it :P)

so, this was an interesting day

get my rego renewal for the patrol. tells me to ring them up as there's problems

ring them up

"oh, your car is defected"

"no its not"

"yes it is, 17th march it got done"

"riiiight........i got that cleared"

rang sturt. they punched it into the system and voila..........im still flagged as defected. Said i came in and got it cleared a few days after, but ive since (read: a month ago) ripped up the slip as i thought id never need it again. They just rang me (mid me typing this post) to tell me in the last 3 and a bit hours of checking the till receipts, they found my receipt and have put the defect thru as cleared in the system (finally)

what a lol

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
