Saw nice burgundy R33, had a front mount intercooler passing the opposite way over the bridge at eastwood station (Rutledge St). Got a nod and i nodded back. yahoo! improved my rather shi*ty day somewhat

saw GTR032 @ a roudabout...olive st and quarry road, near midway shops, 930/945 this morning....nice ride mate

Thanx mate, I'm working at the building site at Eastwood public school and drove down to get something to eat..had the apprentice with me too, he's a GTR virgin hehe.

Jono

today i saw 4 skylines :)

The first 2 i saw were in Penrith Plaza.

It was a white HR31 GTSX. It attracted the attention of all the people that passed to go into the plaza.

Next i saw a DR30 Skyline ( 2.4L ) which parked next to it. The driver and passanger got out had a look at the GTSX. It looked like they had never seen a r31 coupe before.

After that my dad and I went to St Marys. As we were going we saw a Black R33 GTST just on Parker St/Northern Rd, just after Dunheved Rd ( it was heading towards High St ).

Then when we ame back we went to Bunnings in Penrith to look at ladders and we saw a Gunmetal Grey R32 GTST with the plates [LOO * LOO] next to Dick Smith Power House

saw MIS33R up windsor way....did see the owner though!

Also saw a black 33 on windsor rd....the guy didn't acknowledge me at all...but later he was in the left lane, and the lane was ending...and he thought his car was fast enough to get in front of the car in the middle lane....it wasn't....and he almost caused an accident......

Saw my 2nd 4 door line today, sort of silvery white 33 (must be a standard colour cos the other one was that colour too) through surry hills onto anzac parade. I drove next to him for about a minute before he noticed me but got the wave.

whilst having lunch in the city today I saw:

- Grey Just Jap R33 GTR - just jap stickers all over it.. is their Targa Tasmania car maybe??

- Bright Orange R33 GTR - Again I think it's a Just Jap car?

- White R33 GTR N1 race car with plates GTR N1

And on my way home a Silver R33 GTsT @ Strathfield Car Radio's in Artarmon ANC 14K

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
