There was a green skyline (nfi what it was, andrew might know lol) that had been pulled over on the Monaro a couple of mornings ago. It was one of those pearl cars where it looked green & then pink.

that kinda sounds like the chameleon R33 that is getting about.. it seems to show up at the nats every now and then as well...

think it's gunners based..

Spotted a black r33, near spitting image of my car driving along William Hovel Drive this morn (South bound) around 9:10am.

Also spotted my r33 still sitting at home depressing me cos it aint going. Sux most cos ALL the major work want and need done to the thing is done. Just is small aesthetic things (except for the leak of water in the boot).. Runs and drives perfectly, looks great, sterio is all sorted, alarm system is all adjusted bout right now also... But got the fuel pump issue pissing me off now (partially it not working, partially my lack of time to work on it and try to sort out what the hell is wrong so I can fix it...)

At least urs can move...

But yeh tis a sad issues also, both quite frustrating. I need more time to work on this and sort it out. And then hope all will be better soon....

Ahh, but today at lunch I removed the vac line to the actuator, and still couldn't make REAL boost....barely made it to 1 bar...if everything is working correctly, I should have shot through to overboost cut quicker than you can say wtf

I too am going to go insane with this shit lol

haha...well my cat already (and has been since I got the car back after work was done for this power) makes a horrid metal vs metal vibration sound, but I'm fairly sure that it's the heat shielding on the top....I may or may not remove the exhaust from the front pipe and go for a VERY short drive this arvo to see if it's all good without that one there, but I don't know if I cbf risking it lol....

It's a ceramic cat of some kind...only strange thing about it is that it managed to flow 294.4rwkw the other week :\

Well failing my cat-less test this arvo, it will be going into autotech next monday for pressurised smoke through the intake test to find any leaks...and if I haven't tried dropping the cat yet, they'll also chuck her on the dyno for a run with only the dump pipe.

If it's the cat, I don't give a shit lol. Just means I gotta drive it a bit softer for a while til i replace it like I've been meaning to :D

And after speaking to Stao (Hypergear), he's assured me how unlikely it is for anything to go wrong with the turbo to cause this, short of damaging the wheels themselves - which is amazingly unlikely too. helps for peace of mind, love that guy's customer service.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
