Breifly caught a glimpse of a silver GTR, R33 i think but my stopping skills arn't wonderful, on drakeford drive turned off towards Tuggeranong at the round about at about 20 to six.

Saw what I think was the same one just past Calwell on the way home at about 10 to 9

neither are my typeing skills read "stopping" as "spotting"

I saw like 5 different cars today that i meant to come home and post about...and i can't for the life of me remember any of them.

EDIT: Wait, it's coming to me, Jnr J in Fyshwick, another Silver R33 Series II in Dickson this afternoon, and a Wine Red Series II in Civic about the same time.... the others...oh yeah, Yellow R33 with GT stripes, and... yeah, that was it.

Think I spotted Blackdoggette at Civic Video in Belconnen.

...If I was driving past there it was probably me - I was in that area doing a couple of things. If I was parked then wasn't me!!!

In Civic - with for sale sign and diesel cap in back - nah not me.

There is another white S1 just like mine in Belconnen area. Mine very distinctive though - huge zorst, very dark windows and big chromies :rofl:

:D

spotted today at 08:45 - Parkes Way - just where 90 zone goes down to 80

MOI - yes dammit - being done for speeding - double demerits and all that crap- how depressing - serves me right

Mr Plod got very upset about my front number plate - guy that had it before me took an angle grinder to the bottom section - "De-facing government property - I could book you for that, get it REPLACED"

:boohoo: :boohoo: :spew: :spew: ;);)

had a good chat with Theo today (ower of the Blue R34 GTR VSPEC)

ive finally convinced him to come on the forums, he's got the address and is keen to join, yay!

on another note he went to wakefield on the weekend and waxed everything he came up against!! including 2 F355 Ferraris, a new carrera GT3 and new m3's, he was telling me he came round the corner to the front straight neck and neck with the carrera GT3, and absolutely blew it away with a few seconds of opining up on the straight!

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
