spotted the new owner of sniper, 32 GTR, i speak to the guy every friday (works at happy valley FL)

and didnt realise he owned it till i senn him roll up in it this morning... such a sexy example!

also spotted andrew this arvo crossing N.E rd..turning right onto some side street bout 3:30 ish.. give or take

i beeped, waved, mooned/flashed...... man your blind!!!

Spotted GTR32 cruisin' up south rd last night in peak hour traffic...

Dont remember seeing you? Would have been heading home from work i guess, sorry for the late reply lol

Spotted IGTR32I along morton road last night at Christies Downs. I was the tall dude walking along with the blue t shirt on lol. You still running the stock GTR bov's? I've never heard them from outside the car before... sounded like you were! They sounded pretty decent.

Yeah that would have been me and yeah, pretty sure they are the stock BOV's, I always thought it was the wastegates letting off the sound that you hear as i change gears? maybe not... Dont remember seeing you tho, was awhile ago, could be why, after seeing your car parked on morton road i take the long way home to see if its there again haha, want a better look..

Spotted IGTR32I around the port Noarlunga backstreets at about 7pm tonight.

Yeah, would have been me also, hope i wasnt doing anything naughty, had a few things going on earlier in the week and was taking it out on the car, so may have been...

sorry Craig I was running hella late for an appointment. Didn't see you at all. I only notice Skylines, anyhow :P

spotted GTR-32 on greenhill road tonight, i was standing next to the tow truck and cop cars that you drove past. Your tail lights look awesome at night :P

Seen ya car, cant recall seeing you tho, what was going on? and how they manage to stop ya's there? You car looks awsome man, love the rims :(

And thanks, got the LED's in cos the standard ones are stuffed, globe got too hot and melted all the plastic and shit and almost caused the boot to catch on fire, i choose LED's over getting defected for only having the 2 left lights working... but thanks, definatly look better at night then they do during the day :D

Sounds like a hoon driving impound .... was it your car Chad? :(

No, it was one of Ruby's mates, crashed his bike and got it wedged under the guard rail, so we went and helped try and get the bike out. Then we just waited till the tow truck come to pick it up. I dont think that bike will see the road again, the motor hit one of the posts and broke the motor open, fairly major damage ;)

dark blue or black r32, maybe gtr, turning onto south rd at randall rd (i think its called) at morphett vale today around 3.30.

then "ms r33" at christies motor reg.

both times i was driving reynella mazda ute

Was it your I saw on Monday on Main South Rd at about 4:30ish. Pulling out of a car yard I think. I had the grey 32 GTS-t with black rims and a R1 following me right behind?

You are right Chad. Its a write off. End result was Howie with a broken Collar bone and 7 stitches in his leg.

I've gotten to the point where I've seen and heard of my mates coming off their bikes too many f**king times. And I'm glad Ben sold his.

Spotted TRUST 6 stopped outside boostworx today around 5.20p. Plates were on a red 33.
That would be Matt = whatsisname = one of your beloved SAU moderators

A damn nice car too, making some serious power!

Matt is busy with Army work etc and I don't catch up with him much these days. Showed him the R35 a few months back and needless to say he was blown away!

The R33 has had some special treatment including show quality under bonnet trim/polishing, and interior renovation .... I think he is planning to start showing it soon. Motor and turbos have seen some significant work too - hopefully AIR opens in the not too distant future for him to punch out some low 11's.

havent seen matt in ages! whats he up to these days!??
I see that 33 quite a lot in Boostworx. Looks insane under the hood!! It'd pack some serious power.

Well, it looks I should pay more attention to the 'Spotted' thread. I had no idea I'd been spotted, which is a fair effort given it rarely comes out of the shed these days - other than to head to the workshop. Yeah it does spend of bit of time down at BW

I'm still around, Cara ;) I still have my quick scan of the forums to keep tabs on things and add my 2c here and there, but not so much on this thread.

Ahh Andrew, how could you!? Don't you remember when Burgers and I worked together at the same 'RAAF' unit? :P Nevertheless, the Army is close enough. We'll have to organise some more poker nights mate, once Trent's pad is up and running. I owe Will some serious bad beats.

Yeah if we had a track, I’m fairly confident a low 11 would be achievable, actually a high 10 isn’t out of the question if the latest tweaks work the way we’re hoping.

Still hoping for a ride in Martin and Keir’s ’35. It was good to catch up and see the new flagship model at the same time mate.

spotted the 'chef in what i assume is his new car yesterday arvo bout 1 on NE Rd turnin into KFC (up before the Holden Hill cop shop). If its the new ride i do like :). Was in the never lookin ETSA truck that drove past

    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
