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!)

was clean as, so added some rims, white wall, slammed it, shift kit, B&M pro ratchet shifter, custom fibre glass console around it

cant remember what else, that thing did tuff burnouts! decent power too, made 143 rwkw, not bad for a 5.0 v8

sold thaat when i got a company car, then bought my best car imo,

picked it up for 9g, spent 7 g on it, sold it for 13, and the pea-nut wrote it off in 16 days.

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.

here is my old car when it first came off the truck from queensland when i bought it, this was about 3 years ago now.

I'll get another one I think one day but at the moment i'm more interested in motorcycling.

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 >:/

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
