and spotted mr dstroy going through kenihans/panalatinga intersection at about 8.20pm. Couldnt miss it with the numbers on the doors!

:thumbsup: I was finally taking the skyline home after having the clutch replaced, Its feels pretty dodgy driving it on the street when its in race trim. I was pretty happy that i managed not to stall the skyline once cos the new clutch is as hard as f#@k and is grippy as hell.

legal height???

f*k me i havent seen it like that since i complianced it. didnt like it then either.

how does the front wheels sit inside the guards???

i know the rears can be adjusted in but front or have you put in adjustable arms??

yeh legal height isn't that high lol. it was only 5mm higher than what it was before. :( Oh and the front wheels just fit inside the guards and the rears fit perfectly. Still plenty of clearance all round. Needs a tune coz she's drinking fuel like its going out of fashion.

just saw andrews old 4door 34 on main north road, and markos 33 on port road.. dude those rims are insane.. need wider guards than what u got!

That might be Tuff 200 if it was opposite Dick Smiths, his car looks alot like Andrews old one except its running the East Bear GTR front kit

spotted just before a bright orange r34 "AWSM-34" under a carport on unley rd, then another black 34 with no no wing went past me on pultney st near adelaide uni

The guy works there, see it there everytime I go past

Spotted a grey 32 gtst with a gtr bodykit and custom plates pulling out of the maccas in Croydon.

Haha yeah that was me, came around the corner and thought F*#k me whats going on when a skyline is going so slow lol...

Hope its not too bad.

I had to goto the Flagstaff hotel car park to fix it because apparently you're not allowed to work on your car in supercheaps car park (even though i had to buy a socket set from them to fix it..). All good now, it only popped one of the plastic lugs out.

If it had a nismo 400R front bar sides and a D wing and a veilside rear bar this would be me. :P They were sparco racing rims tho haha.

Is yours a yellow 33 with white rims?

How do you quote by the way? haha

Yeah that was you, nice r33 :devil:

Mines a white r33 with gold rims

exchanged nods with a guy in a sweet looking red r34, and also a purple r33 with white rims that looked to be sparco...also spotted a fulleh sik commodore next to me with rego "habib-2" i lol'd!!! also a white stag near light sq i think shortly after

I finally spotted an R35 GTR on the road today. A white one on Park Tce just outside of town. And then later I spotted a GMG one parked on O'Connell St.

There were stacks of other Skylines around but those 2 were memorable. I also saw the pink R33 N1SMO or N15MO or whatever it is.

And a Lamborghini Countach on a hoist and looking like it was missing some items eg wheels, bonnet, doors

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
