OK... So I would love to say I saw a really nice Skyline with a friendly driver behind the wheel but instead....

On the way to uni today I was driving the Starlet just past the Corillian and saw a red R32 GTS-T with a Kakimoto exhaust and GT-R side skirts “wizzing” through cars and when I finally caught up to him (not through excessive speeding or anything just I was choosing my lanes well), I coincidentally took the round-a-bout he was taking (the big one on Parks way near that auditorium place on Constitution Ave). I was going through the roundabout and then when I got to the lights at Constitution Ave he proceeded to flip me off! Then at the next lights he stuck his arm out the window and made a "wanking" motion... to be honest, I thought, "Yeah mate you are a wanker!". What was his issue!? Was he annoyed that someone driving a Starlet could "keep up" with him?

.... so that's what really grinds my gears! :D

had a good 'ol chat with Viet about his plans with his GTR at tuggers car care. Seems as if his results at the dyno didnt impress him too much and is keen to rectify that!

Also spotted a couple of days ago a grey 32 driving the opposite direction near bunnings in tuggers, driver acknowledged me but i was too slow to react! Sorry! Tuning the AM radio...oohhh riiigghhht!

Bout lunch time today at homeworld carpark spotted a very similar r33 to mine. So much so that I wasn't paying too much attention and I had walked up to it trying to disarm it thinking it was my car! (my car being parked in the next row). Silver SII R33 with Starcorp Impuls and exhaust. Main difference between it and my car it had untinted windows, different skirts and a SAU sticker on the back window :D

spotted a few go past work today at the airport. i think i spotted sauce this morning then a bit later spotted a silver 34 with black boot being followed by a maroon 32.

also there is a fairly standard looking maroon 32 that i see a fair bit at work, it belongs to one of the Thrifty guys, not sure if hes on the forum or not.

If it was a filthy looking silver two tone 33 covered in orange dust then yep, that'd be mine haha... Have to drive a gravel road each day atm ;-;

I spot that maroon 32 gtst as well, looks very tidy. I also see a maroon 32 GTR that looks almost showroom tidy out there some days!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
