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

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
