ive had my 33 for 7 years now

it's done 23,000 each year since i got it

broken radiator

coilpacks died

alternator replaced

diff is grumpy

usual wear and tear - clutches, tyres

37% more power than stock and held up pretty well considering

hehe. I'm in a similar situation but not. I've had my Pulsar for 7 years. Done a bit less than 10,000kms per year as it spends most of it's life off the road.

I've broken well...EVERYTHING.

Should be making 200-210fwkw with the manual behind it. Bit of an increase over the 50fwkw it had stock.

Well done :domokun: That's impressive!

What's it like having so much power at the front wheels in such a small car?

What brakes have you got on there? Stock? Coz if so then I know what you mean by 'stopping is the hard part' ;)

Sort of stock. Front and rear calipers and disks upgraded to SSS items (single piston, but a fair amount bigger.) The car came with a drum brake rear end and piddly little front calipers stock. It could do with better brakes but they still pull it up okay (even from 200kmp/h+) and I have other priorities.

Poles help?

Arse :laugh:

Poles stop cars very quickly, much more effective than 8-Pots :D

web development, I'm guessing its the same thing Pat's goin for but a more junior role?

nah mines for a graduate engineering position in a flexible plastic packaging manufacturing company. (beer wrapping on 6packs and cadbury wrappers etc)

The tests were pretty lol, the maths questions were overwhelming haha

Ah well, will see what I got next week and if move to 3rd stage which is another interview zzzz

i wouldnt stress too much re: getting the answers correct

i mean obviously there is merit testing your technical and maths etc for general assesment

but sometimes they give you bullshit ones where there is no correct answer

they do this to see your lateral thinking and problem solving tactics, even though there is no correct answer

ive done this a few times when interviewing techs, give them a problem and provide multiple choice where all the answers are wrong

the guy who stands one is the one who scribbles near it trying to debunk the correct answer and goes on to discuss the possible causes etc, the ones you dont want just circle an answer or leave it blank

lol at men in black.

Yeah, will see how it goes.

On another note, my dad blew up his mitsubishi express van engine.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement engine or another van? I see hundreds of them on the roads yet there is nothing on ebay, carsales, carpoint, autotrader.

I guess people selling them are old tradies and dont bother advertising online.. Where would be the best place to search for these vans? Probably notice boards at pubs or something haha

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
