I don't think I have seen a white R32 around how long have you had it? I go past the Soarer and Supra every morning as well I'm usally driving the Yellow Mazda with the really loud exhaust.

Good to hear you get your License back, I've heard that some brissy cops are up here teaching ours how to use the new DB meter, bit of a blitz going on.

I heard a little story a while ago that someone went to Rocky I think, to pick up there R32 GTR and on the way home it burst into flames. I'm not to sure what happened just heard the story, has anyone in Central Highlands heard this?

Hey Mega GTS-4... that thing sounds really cool...

are you happy with then end result or are you going to keep modifying the RB26...

I think it is a great way of getting a GTR... and because it is all it a GTS body everyone thinks it is just another skyline... little do they know...

The other good thing happening at the moment is the 88-89 R32 GTR's that are available from many importers cheap... particularly prestige motorsport or the likes... I was thinking that a cheap R32 that had a big list of mods would be really cool... even if it came over and the RB26 had some serious issues with blowby and the like... perfect time to build a RB30 bottom end... massive horsepower and a 4WD... I like the sound of that... maybe it is time to sell the old Q with Boost... although it has been a faithful rig and I would like to get it down to the 12's before reassigning it too light track duties... (I love the Clubsprint Meets at Ipswich)

anyway I hope you guys are all running at the 16th... and if not atleast come and say Hi...

check the members out... if you see this crew at the drags come and say Hi...

there is a grey 32 gtr in emerald..gary currie, sparky at kestrel,drives like a girl and won't race me.(hope he is reading)

he had a small electrical fault and melted a coil pack and ignitor collector.Alls good know except for his driving...he he..

Joe biddle owns th torana i think.

I'm Rick Hansen by the way, lived in emerald for about 5 years 94-99 and worked at national fire and security and chubb security with troy humphries (one of the other toranas). You'd have to know peter tease and wazza at bp hey.

Hi Rick, I've seen the Grey GTR a couple of times usually just putting around but I haven’t seen it for a while now.

The story I heard was supposably that the Sky that caught a light was only just bought.

No sorry I don't know peter tease and wazza, I get my fuel from Shell for both my cars, I think I'm a bit of a hermit.:)

Shawn.

that car that burst into flames was an R33. He was from Blackwater I believe. There is a pretty bombed R33 at blackwater too we had a look at it the other week it was in at Garths shop getting some work done on it. Appreantly it was one of the first R33 to be imported to australia (been here since 1995).

We also have 3 red 300zxTT's 2 seaters here. 2 0f i know have been to Willowbank 1 has run a best of 12.56 the other 13.8 & the 3rd one is owned by a old dude that wouldn't race it. At one stage there was 5 red ones here but one has gone to St George & the other went back to Brisbane.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
