not my car but i know whose it was ... and no... they cost him $160 off ebay!

Is he on the forums?

Spotted a Maroon R33 yesterday arvo on the way home on Mugga Lane, gave a wave, got a wave.

Also, spotted JD_R33 on my way to work following me. Everytime I see that GTR I wish I could have saved more pennies to get one.

Yeah I was stalking you again dude, just waiting for the right moment to steal those wheels :)

Actually, I would have pulled over for a chat but had to get the teeny-bopper to school and be at work by 8:00.

Maybe we should organise a lunch or beer o'clock at the Kingo, open to all SAUers of course. :)

CCG (canberra celica group) have a beer o'clock meeting every second tuesday at the kingo.. steaks and beer or something to that effect.

i thought it was an interesting idea, one we may be able to impliment here.. not in tuesdays obviously as some of us are involved in the 'tight arse tuesday movie club'

That sounds like a thrilling event, 3 guys sitting around talking about Sillycars for hours... :)(jokes).

We used to do trivia at Jerra pub every Tuesday, I wouldn't mind starting something like that again.

Hahaha, stalker. What did you think of the sound? I put the spare exhaust on last night that I said you could come check out so you can decide.

Any decision on rims for yours yet? Did you make it to Sydney to do the performance shop hopping?

You could have followed me up the driveway too since I'm usually one of the first few to arrive, no one else was at work yet to complain.

As for beer o'clock at the Kingo, I'm usually in Kingston on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights (busy with the missus) but could easily walk up to the pub.

Sorry, couldn't hear your exhaust over the 200db stereo level courtesy of young miss passenger.

Still no progress on the wheels - big decision, that one.

Did manage to pick up a Fujitsubo cat-back, front pipe, Catco cat, power FC and a massive hangover while in Sydney :)

Exhaust is on, still a few things to be done before the pfc and tune happen.

Went to a dyno day at ESP last Sunday with a mate from the Celica club (and yes Bullet, I can confirm there are more than 3 of them, really nice blokes actually) and discovered the Attesa system needs bleeding, as it was making the dyno a bit unhappy. Some boost control and a gauge are also on the list.

This Skyline owning thing is hard work!

PS - you get busy with the missus three nights a week? Dammmmnn. :worship:

You should have come, it was a good day.

Mine went on last after they had set up the dyno in AWD mode for my mate's GT4.

I didn't think 198 was all that good, but I guess considering that was 3rd gear (hitting the speed cut in 4th) and the diffs playing silly buggers it's a reasonable baseline.

That Aristo was just awesome.

Back OT, I keep seeing a black R33 GTS-T at the Calwell shops - anyone on here?

Well done! I did notice your Fujitsubo as you drove past me when I pulled off into the driveway at work. Very shiny :-P How is the sound on it? I didn't hear your's either as I was too busy making sure I tuck in enough so no one hits the car when I slow right down waiting for the electric gate to so very slowly open.

Had ESP tune mine, I still have to go back to get a high boost readout (couldn't get one on the 43 degree day it was tuned on)..

Owning a Skyline is nothing compared to owning my Liberty RS, I'd have my tools out every night. The Skyline is only every second night.

And as for the missus, well yes that too but I mean, its the only time she ain't busy studying..

Oh and a 200db stereo, I only wish you were serious.... Could only imagine the vibration that would happen.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
