I seen a silver R33 last night at about 5:10 on Long gully Rd heading towards hume. Pretty sweet. I waved but got none back (from what I could see)

Sorry buddy, saw you at the last minute and tried to get a wave back but only succeeded in making the guy behind you wonder why the hell I was waving at him.

ROFL! Thats a pretty tidy car mate. Where did you get it sprayed?

spotted blue astra in braddon this arvo, "TOYOTA RACING DEVELOPMENT" sticker on the rear quarter window, NISMO on spoiler, HOLDEN RACING TEAM on the rear window. he painted the goodyear imprint on his front set of tyres with whiteout, and the same to his dunlop pair of rubbers on the rear. some chinese writing here and there too

definately was one of those international-student-mobile cars....cockhead.

Spotted a D*ck head in a white R33 a couple of days ago trying to drift his car (badly) at the end of my street....

I know exactly who it is but for now they shall remain nameless...

This is a warning though! If you do that Sh!t in or around my street again I will report your rego to the cops (and it only takes one complaint for your car to made to go over the Dickson pits) because I have no time for idiot hoons who give the rest of us a bad name!

I agree with you there. Unlike many of the 'bland brigade' in Canberra, I appreciate performance cars and enjoy driving to the Max!. I just dont like the inconsiderates who decide that a suburban street is the place to do it with all the risks inherent, such as bike riders, pedestrians and kids, not to mention that there are a shitload of trees, powerpoles and houses!.

Guys, get out and drive some real roads. Drive down Kangaroo Valley. Try a brisk run up Macquarie Pass on a misty, rainy day without traction control. Take a trip out to Gunning via Sutton.....there are plenty of places to have fun, and if you want to drift, take it out to Wakefield and go nuts! :lol:

Spotted a gloria going through woden, this you CEF11E?

Yep that would be me...

No chance of doing any covert ops in the gloria. :D everyone will know it's me :) I don't think there are any other glorias in canberra. I have only ever seen one other in sydney.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
