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.

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
