Im a member of Ns.com and SAU, and reside in Victoria. Being an ex adelaide boy, and my girlfriend being one too, we thought for her birthday that we would spend 4 days over there, drive around, see the sites and what not, see what Adelaide has to offer as i remember it being a very quiet subtle town, with none of the melbourne bullshit..

So we had a mad time over in Adelaide until sunday night...

Now all of you Adelaide import owners must know Windy Point look out. well i took the missus up there on her birthday night (sunday night) to show her the site after a really nice dinner at the revolving restaurant down in Glenelg.

As we were coming down the hill, Belair rd, around the big 'U' right by the car park, some idiot in a maroon r32 gtst came screaming around the corner, slide out and nearly hit our car(keep in mind, we had a hire car as we flew in). he had downed a gear coming around the corner, and then skipped across the road and slide out. i veered slightly left to give him some room, and then slammed on the brakes.

There were three idiots on the corner in the carpark; one was a s13 sil, and the other was an old datto.

After the near miss, as i said, slammed on my brakes, and screamed at the driver, and the guys on the hill started to talk shit. my gf got really freaked out by what had happened and didnt help my anger issues..

if you are on here mate, you should hand your licence into the police. i had seen some stupid driving on teh roads in victoria, seen idiots write their lifes off and endangered others.. but what you did that night was utter stupidity. you are not a hero trying to dori a corner or hills run the whole length, your a dick mate.

i honestly hope this is not how all import owners in Adelaide drive these days.. i am not making an oblivious stab at all Adelaide drivers, im merely putting forward the point that if the driver is on here, he should seriously rethink driving ever again...

/end rant.

sorry to post such a topic, but i feel it had to be expressed as to how some dickheads on the road think they are top shit, when really, put them under high pressure hills runs, with the proper suspension package, they wont make it 500m up a hill.

and please dont post shit in here like "if you dont like it, dont come back".. as ive done the whole street drift and hills run and got over it very quickly as to how dangerous it really was..

By all means guys, we had an awesome time.. we love Adelaide and do plan to move back there in the near future!

everything about adelaide is beautiful; from the monarto zoo, to mount lofty/piccadily way, belair and the hills to glenelg, it is all fantastic.. we love everything about adelaide..

i know all adelaide drivers arent like that, and import owners are more intelligent when on the roads, especially on Windy Point, but i was close to giving him a flogging.

appreciate the comments guys!

Write a letter to our minister for transport.... just another reason to hurry the f@*k up and build a new motorsport complex!!!

i have always said in discussions concerning "hoons" that more motorsport complex's should be built. look at victoria; we have Calder and Winton, Winton being the better for drift imho, but is 3 hours out, and Bob Jane became a little bitch and said no more drift events at Calder.. there have been plans made for more motorsport complex's, but nothing has been put into action.

i did my fair share enough that night i reckon; yelled abuse at the driver, yet he didnt say a thing back, looked like a mere 19 year old.. took his rego down, i knew the exact make, color, exterior mods as soon as it happened, and reported it to the police. also reported the three idiots on the hill as well, being their rego, their makes of car and color and any modifications i could see aesthetically. gave the cop a description of the driver as i saw him clearly. apart from all that, yelling abuse and was about to get out of the car and kick the drivers head in, yet i wasnt too sure if it was on purpose or if he took the corner too hard, which in my opinion states he was trying to be a "DK"..

sorry to hear about it mate....most of the time the import drivers that i cruise with and affiliate with are pretty good....its just that adelaide has boomed and lil P platers that get their license from a cereal box think that they are a DK coz now they have a hectick turbo.....so you still get your dickhead/wanker in a import every now and then.....

i saw many nice skylines in adelaide, and majority had SAU stickers; i felt right at home as i use to live there and use to own an R32 :P no dickheads on the road from what i could see, and we clocked over 1500km over 3 and a half days..

no offence to p plater drivers in adelaide, but your law is absolute bullshit. you should get your p's at 18, AFTER completing a self driving defence course, and you have to have the marks to pass.. adelaide is on the right track though.

i got my p's about 4 months before i turned 19.. i was a contractor at that point going from job to job and i had to deal with a lot of shit driving and idiots on the road.. over time i learnt how to control a car, and at the same time was dori'ng my r32.. i got the experience on teh street from working and having fun..

law needs to get more stict on adelaide drivers imho.. mainly ppl going for their p's, as this dickhead had no understanding on the control and feel for a car.. scary shit, especially up windy point, at night..

[being an ex adelaide boy, and my girlfriend being one too,

your girlfriend is a ex adelaide boy as well?

you read my whole thread just to make that assumption? wow, maturity right there!

      Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable

      RB25DET Neo Rebuild

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.

      R33 GTST Sh*tbox to Polished T*rd

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -

      Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
