daaaaaaaaam hostile, that chick is HAWT!!!!!!

started with a 79 mazda 323 my olds gave to me, i re-sprayed it midnight blue before i even got my licence

while the temptation of having a 4 acre muddy paddock out my back door, i couldnt resist using it as a paddock basher :P

so it never made it to the street...

next my Mazda 929, that thing was before it time, digi dash, elec susp. etc

Head went on that bitch, so i had an EA s pack 5 sp, went hard! but got bored of of it, so got another white granny spec

EA, only had 84 thou ks! was immaculate...sold that to my uncle when i got my VT, where it got stolen and torched, pricks.

the VT, that put me into debt, (18 y/o, 1 bank loan and 2 maxxed credit cards is not good!)

forgot two , had a Marine Blue R31 pinny 5spd too, lowered, blacked out wheels and trim, baby poo brown seats, daily- train station car.

and a Red S3 R31 wreck I stripped for parts for the pinny and the other R31 Skyline, wish I kept the RB30, it was real low K's when the old owner hit a tree

my first car i learned on was a 91 ford laser KF

L's - EL falcon, no real reason just wanted a car till i could afford something better

P's - 2 months after the EL i bought a 90 KF ford laser tx3 4wd turbo (this thing was mint, service records and receipts since new, had big plans but was a shame to tear it up. Last i heard someone who has an r34 GTT bought it as a daily, anyone on here?) I fixed it up untill there was nothing that needed fixing then sold it in pretty much original condition.

2 years later i sold it, needed something to get around on so bought a bike CBR250R, used this as daily rain or shine for 9 months and modified the shit out of it.

4 months ago i bought my r33 for $5,800 and since fixed it up and got a bunch of mods, there is a lot more coming in the next 2 months or so... aiming for around 260ish at the wheels

2005 (I was 16) I got this GD Mazda 626, It was Turbo, Adjustable Suspension, Boost Controller, Pod, zorst /w hiflow cat. Nolathane Bushes, Strut Brace, and had all the options. This thing beat the 32 for inside comfort 20 fold. It was a 4spd Auto, but you could go fast. It would smoke 1st and 2nd with no brake when the turbo spooled. Unfortunately it wasnt really needed so I sold her.

First car was a 1982 Mitsubishi Colt, had that while on my L's, hardly drove it on the road as mum didn't like it, so i used as a paddock basher...still got it with a half tank of leaded petrol, hasn't moved in 2-3 years :D

Was then driving my mums magna wagon, and dads vr commodore to my job at coles at tafe at regency park. Was still driving them for a bit till i got a decent job, i then bought myself a VS Commodore a few months before my 21st birthday, which i then sold to my parents a few weeks before my 22nd birthday so i could buy my current car...a 1997 R33 Skyline, gotta love it as a 22nd Birthday present to myself :banana:, pictures are in the link in my sig.

Ok started of with a VK 770 Charger on my P's, then stipped that for a full rebuild (not by choice!), stole dads CJ 360ci Chrysler by Chrysler for a few years. Picked up an ex detectives 360 Charger 770 in between to make some quick cash.Then bought a VP Calais International- the pimp mobile! sold that to a mate at work (wish i had of stripped the stereo first! Bought the R33 about 3-4 yrs ago and not long after that i picked up a VQ HSV 5000i Stetesman, but got sick of driving a 200kw land barge and sold that about 6mths ago. So now its just the 33 for the time being! (but dont let the missus see that!)

Cos u and sled are so ancient that they didn't have licences way back then.... matter of fact, they'd only just invented the wheel and it was a huge novelty at the time >:/

    • 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
