Just resting my head on my pillow when I hear my 33 start up. Jump out of bed and dash to the window to see it still sitting there in the dark. Fly downstairs trying not to fall while putting my boxe

Wow... you waited 4 years for a spot, I'm glad I spotted you haha

I'm pretty sure that in the (almost) 5 years I've had my 33, I've never been spotted... but then again I've got standard plates, and it's a 33... so it just kinda blends in with the rest of 'em!

Spotted a R33 GTS (Green P Plater) smashed on Mckimmis rd (Bundoora i think), took down a pole witch dropped another one plus a transformer and a switch on a high voltage power line (I work for the power company, that's why I still saw everything before they cleaned it up)... From what police told me she is alright just hurt her leg, but she doesn't have insurance so that's gonna be a hard one to solve... :(

Here's a pic for anyone that wants to see:

That looks as though it could have ended up alot worse than a leg injury, she could have been toast

ive heard that those power poles cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to replace. Can you confirm?

How much you reckon she will be owing for the replacement of the pole?

Well it is a 70km zone so she would of been speeding for sure to make that kind of damage! Didnt see any skid marks what so ever... Tyres looked cheap... I guess what saved her was her seat belt and airbag...

I dont know about exact costs, but from what i saw, its a concrete pole plus a wooden pole that she brought down (plus the cross arms and insulters), overhead 22kv cable, maybe underground 22kv cable that was attached to the wooden pole, 22kv gas switch plus remote control box plus a transformer... Then testing, building and operating... Personally I think worst case scenario would be in the mid to high 5 figures (that's really worst case scenario, their is always a chance of the underground not being affected and so on...)...

You know why?.... Because you need SAU stickers lol :(

I think most of us only post up sau members as they are way too many skylines in Melb to post them all up lol

I see about 5-10 skylines each day :)

i thought the poles are suppose to fall over wouldnt that lessen the impact on the car, as opposed to it staying firm and the car splitting in half?

no chance it would be hundreds of thouasands to replace, id rkn 15k is closer to the mark and even that would be absolute tops

I believe this solves the question of how much the replacement will cost, 15k sounds pretty low for replacing a lot of expensive equipment.

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      By Dylannn · Posted

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
