Could have been power steering fluid as well. I'm not a fan of the red Commodore coolant. When it gets old it suddenly turns to mud so you need to completely flush your entire cooling system to avoid overheating. I hated working on Commodores like that.

I've seen a Commodore with an abusing note on the window telling them to "learn how to park". The fact they took all the effort to write out a note made me laugh so hard!

Parked behind the video shop the other night, just as I'm about to leave a car parks up next to me. Noticed it was a bit close & the driver reversed back & went in again. Was sitting there with the engine running but putting money back into my wallet etc, and as I'm about to leave I hear this bang. Look over & the driver is saying "Hey, be careful!" to the kid in the back, who opened their door right into my car.

Then the driver is just looking straight at me for a bit before I get out, and she got out at the same time. Walk around the back of my car & said I hope that wasn't bad. Then she goes what are you on about, nothing happened. Told her bullshit, I heard it. Was checking with my phone light but didn't see anything noticeable before she pretty much pushed me out of the way.

Fearing for my life because for the record, she was a fat ugly bitch who I thought was maybe hungry & could have eaten me to keep me quiet. Then some other fat bitch with her was calling me a dickhead & then the kids are saying "It wasn't us, it wasn't us". Then she made some tapping noise on her car & said that's what the noise was, and I told her bullshit because I heard it through my car. She then claimed how could I hear it over the sound of my engine...replied very f**king easily! Then I just left it alone & got in my car, getting her rego would have been pointless really. People like that are really f**ked up, I hope I see the massive bitch again somewhere though. It's all principle, man.

Checked under some proper light & it's just like a stone chip really & easy to touch up, but f**king annoying I have to, and that it's the second time in that place my car has got damage like this!! Not parking there ever again. It sounded a lot worse than what it was, and when you know it's a door hitting the car I thought it would be worse because of how loud it was.

Moral of this rant - Fat bitches with no respect for anyone should be shot & used to feed half of 3rd world countries. The end.

Last Wednesday I was parked at a chemist in Bunbury for less than 10 minutes and some douche put a huge dent into my back left panel, leaving some of their blue paint behind as well.

This wasn't enough for this prick though. The idiot then keyed my front left guard and sprayed some kind of stringy foam stuff all over the side of my R. What a complete act of random vandalism. If I had seen any of it happen I would have kicked every panel of his/her car in, jumped on the roof and bonnet and probably ended up in the local lockup.

End result $2000- $3000 damage :thumbsup:

    • 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?
    • 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).
    • 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).
