A big change from what i previously posted. Steve (MADAZ) has called me with an idea.

We will be contacting the Mawson Lakes Hotel (venue non-negotiable, chosen due to accessibility and parking) and speaking to them about hiring their function room for a night in early March. We are going to go around the the local businesses that support SAU and vice versa, to ask if they would like to donate, and if they do, invite them along to the dinner. The Advertiser / channel 9 will also be contacted to either provide a story or coverage of the event in their relative media, which will be great advertisement for the Mawson Lakes Hotel, SAU and the Business Traders who often save our asses week in, week out.

Steve and I are also looking for a few volunteers who can help with organising, or have any contacts for Business Traders who want to donate. Donations may be in the form of cash, or in products, as we can raffle off or have an auction on the night, all proceeds going to victims of the current Victoria Bushfires of course. PM me if your up for donating some time and effort into the event.

The date for the event will be announced as soon as we settle more details, most likely Tuesday or Wednesday night.

There are alot of natural disasters happening in the world almost monthly, but when Australia has a disaster that will more than likely double the death toll of Ash Wednesday, Australians can and will support those who have lost Cars, Homes, Friends and Family.

definately keen to help out where i can. Happy to approach some businesses i know and maybe even my work. Might be an idea to get something in writing to take around to businesses, rather than us just rocking up and telling them, give them something to read.

Great idea guys, could be some great exposure for all involved and a great chance to help out those that have lost so much through the fires.

Just uploaded a pic from a friend of mine so we all get somewhat of an idea if we havent already.

This is her parents backyard.. the only thing that saved them was the river directly behind them so it acted as a break and a resource for the fire crews

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
