nah no bogan, im not into incest

i do like aussie muscle tho.. xu1/slr5000 toranas, chargers, xb/xc fords...never got into monaros tho... i also like american muscle (57' thunderbirds, 67 camaros, corvettes, pontiacs firebird & fieros etc)

they're the exception to the rule sadly, most australian (and american) cars are utter garbage. much to my chagrin.

-D

Edit - and while I detest 4wd's, f150s/250's are quite ruggedly over-engineered

I probably should of used italics. Each to their own, I do like some of the aussie and yank classics too

Anyone know why i would have shocking fuel economy? Getting roughly 250-300ks a tank.

That's shocking :P , i used to get about that with my car, not sure what its gonna be now after the retune etc.

yup new O2 sensor time, I replaced mine recently (4wire wired up to 3wire connection)

I love the Corvette Stingray, 67' is a classic but Id love a 77'. With a twin turbo 6.0litre V8.

Also love the TA-22 77' Celica, with a RB25det she'd be awesome

As for 4wd's - I hate the size of the things, but recently we got a make-believe 4wd, the Ford Escape 02'.

not a bad car whatsoever, very roomy inside (enough for 4x 200cm tall adults + luggage comfortably), but not that huge on the road. easy to handle.

very happy with the purchase at $6500 incl. tyres, airfare and petrol melb-adl. spending $500 on it atm thru Boostworx and its in top notch condition.

also dropping in the injectors, setting up the ecu and tune, on the 8th. cant wait. Boostworx of course

:P

Pulled the engine cover off the RS250 race bike today, found some bits floating about in there that shouldn't be! One part was a dowel pin or piston pin by the looks of it! :P The other part looks like a bit of the casing damaged by the pin. I reckon someone has intentionally dropped this pin into the oil cap hole to f**k the engine up. A bit pissed off as it could have been dangerous as it jammed up at about 170kph at the track at the time I noticed the noise. Lucky its only isolated to the clutch basket and kickstart gearing, and not the crank or barrels. Anyhow, now I gotta rip the engine down to make sure its all okay. :P

That sucks Rubes.

We sent an engine off to get rebuilt once, when we got it back they told us that they found a tappet in the sump :P

Yeah, I figure if I'm ripping the engine down for look for other problems, I might as well rebuild with new pistons etc, and AF1 heads. The engine is barely 500kms from its last rebuild, but its compromised now. And at 9,000rpm and 200kph on track, I can't afford a compromised engine. I'm also shopping for a spare engine too, just in case it pops in the middle of the season.

My racing budget is already hit hard now, and I haven't even started the season yet. :P

250-300 kms to the tank? ouch, i'd hate to see your fuel bill.

Managed to crack out a solid 600km this weekend on one tank in the 31 with 290,500 kms on the dash. Mind you, that was highway driving to Victoria.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
