Hey everyone, I couldn't find a welcome yourself thread so I decided to make one of my own.

My name's Charlie and on Saturday I picked up my R34 GT-T. The R33 has been my dream car since I was 12 so I'm pretty please with myself to have trumped it with a 34 :thumbsup:

The car is stock apart from muffler and BOV, 42,000 k's, just imported by Kamikaze Motors in Nunawading. (great place btw)

Looking forward to taking it out on some drive meets and catching up with some of you! :D

Ciao!

Also dislike your comment about trumping!

But welcome to SAU, and may I say nice bike.

Late notice for you, but you should come along to SAU Vic's general meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday). Details are posted in this forum section. It's a great way to meet like-minded Skyline enthusiasts and find out about future official cruises / meetings held by the club. There are also plenty of unofficial cruises / meets held by the friendly folk who frequent the Victorian section of SAU.

:thumbsup:

Next up you can trump the 34 with a 32...

Hey Birds I just signed up for SAU-Vic, who do I kick to get that glorious little Vic Club Member badge on my account?

Hey Paul. How long ago did you sign up / pay? Have you received your membership information in the mail? Sometimes it can take 2-3 weeks for this stuff to arrive (we often have a small backlog of memberships to process) along with assignment of the forum tag and members section access. I'll give the boys a little kick for you :thumbsup:

I paid quite some time ago, got my stickers and stuff last friday.. first time I'm using a Lanyard for my work ID.. you should all be thankful as I've been asked three times about it, free advertising woo!

..but still cant see the other forums to lurk yet.

Also, hi new forum person, and I agree with the trumping comment :thumbsup:

Patience padwans, it does say during the membership application that everything can take up to 15 (?) business days...which translates to about 3 complete weeks. Ash relegates the forum access / tags and the guy is always buttoned down with work so it'll all happen in due time. You haven't been forgotten about :thumbsup:

Kinkstaah & paulR32gtr – (27th Nov) you submitted 9 business days ago.

pplatr34 – you submitted online on the 8th... a whopping 4 business days ago.

The form you filled out quite clearly states 15 working days.

It is clearly stated for a reason guys, we need time to reconcile & process applications. Things dont just 'magically' happen unfortunately.

A bit of patience would be nice, your applications will be processed within the 15 business days.

Thanks

Ash

Charli - Welcome :thumbsup:

Never said I had been forgotten about :thumbsup: I was happy to throw money at the site because I know all of this stuff isnt magically free.

I found it interesting I got the stuff in the mail before the access appeared on the forum.. thats all..but happy to contribute even if no stickers arrived or no forum access ever appeared, due to the info on the boards that I am sure Charli will make good use of!

I'm also suprised noone's done the whole "IT'S A GIRL!" yet.

haha thanks for the welcome all... and the trumping comment was only in my own terms... I have a major soft spot for R33's but the fact that I could get a newer model single turbo was a pleasant surprise :D (and couldn't find a R32 GTR with only 40 thou k's :D )

I think they are all beautiful cars though, one day I will have one of each :)

Time to drive home! (Awsome)

    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
