Good luck Carl, but before you leave hellstra add 25gb to my account :D

Bit spewn am i, i went to bed last night with 1.8gb and wake up to 300mb daily allowance through net usage metre grrr i have my wifi locked down and mac address filtering on also

How much for the sil?

just bought it for 7k last week.. but its having problems.. id take 6k for it but im still trying to get it checked out, just broke atm :D test drove it few days b4 the swap and was fine and then when he dropped it off i got him to start it up and sounded all good..(he drove it from port elliot to my place) then i take it to the carwash and shit starts going wrong.. *facepalm* so depressed i shuda got it checked by raa :)

It's a CA, that in itself is a problem from the start :D

Dunno if any of you cats remembers the drama I had with my sil end of last year (and my numerous threats to burn it to the ground :) ) but there are some new developments in the story.

Turns out a mate of mine has had a dead ceffy engine just chillin at his for ages, so I was like wicked I've found a harmonic balancer to replace my seemingly fked one. Got him to make sure the one on there has the same set up as mine (with a V belt in the middle of 2 4pk belts), turns out it has the same balancer as my old 32 motor. Which is the same set up as EVERY other RB engine I've seen.

All of this leads me to belive some fking asshat has possibly whacked the wrong balancer on the front of my engine, thus the reason why it's wobbling all over the place.

Plan is now to chuck my old 32 motor's balancer on the cef motor currently in the car and see what happens. If I'm lucky it will spin true, and I'll go rip a fat skid. If I'm unlucky it will do as the one on there now and f**k around, in which case the vehicle is under threat of death by fire once again.

cheers guys, the interview felt OK.. always walk out of them thinking of things that i should have said

btw steve, the bp usage meter used to update every hour... now its every 4 hours that could be the cause of your woes

wish i could catch these idiots.

Ring up, sound keen, talk some shit, get details.

Use said details to organise a good old fashioned beat down Forward said details onto Police...

... then watch them try and defect your car for the mods listed in the ad :)

Just a heads up guys a scammer had pics of my 32GTR up on carsales wish i could catch these idiots.

Had it for sale on there a while ago they must have just copied the old add?

when you see a 32 GTR for 7k it always sounds to good to be true.....

theres a story of scams like this interstate, GU IV Patrols (usually around the 35k mark second hand) going for 8k. sucks balls

Ring up, sound keen, talk some shit, get details.

Use said details to organise a good old fashioned beat down Forward said details onto Police...

there was no phone number or it could have got real interesting :)

contacted car sales and the add will be pulled within 2 hours or so they say

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
