these are the people cops should be getting, but im sure the cops would see the car with no numberplates but let it go and continue getting those cars with noisy exhausts instead.

It was completely rebuilt. Billet straight cut 1st-4th gears, billet crown wheel and pinion shaft, new diff bearings, Nismo mechanical 1.5way LSD, hydraulic clutch conversion. Had it in the car for all of a trip from Bayswater to Healesville when the circlip popped off the end of the shaft, lodged itself elsewhere in the gearbox and the car was stuck in 5th gear which made for a very interesting and difficult tow home since the car wouldn't roll ;)

Gearbox was out of the car on Tuesday, landed in Sydney on Wednesday, got fixed and sent on Thursday arrived back in Melbourne this afternoon and I got the car back this evening.

I haven't even driven it yet :) The Pulsar was auto beforehand, I'd been collecting parts for this conversion since November DECA last year when I pulled the car off the road.

Don't presume the worst all the time Shan :)

Respray to me = The paint faded over the last 18 years. Full respray to freshen it up.

Head/turbo condition = Yeah, maybe he has blown the turbo.. But it has a new one now so it's all good? I fail to see a problem.

Trust me I've seen enough dropkicks come through the doors at the panelbeaters to know why someone resprays their cars or changes head and turbo.

NO ONE resprays their car for the hell of it in the same colour it was before. They only ever respray the car in the same colour to cover up something or to fix damage.

If you're lucky, it's cos of faded paint. Worst case scenario its cos it had a frontal, or was a VIV car, or a rebirth. You're just as big a dropkick if you're naive enough to believe the in the kindness of the human spirit when it comes to used car sales. If you believe the worst it makes the seller work harder to sell the car to you, or at least be more willing to drop the price. Don't delude yourself and buy a car with glazed over eyes.

Cops are enforcing the road rules on VicRoads behalf...so yeah they have the power to f**k you up, but they usually only bother with trucks etc.

Saw today two vicroads cars and an unmarked cop car pulled over on the grass section between the eastern freeway. 3 guys talking to each other.

Sounds like they were getting ready to ram more people lol

What are they goin for?

Color pref would be black, gunmetal, white, silver...

white is classic on a 32, like bayside blue on a 34 and midnight purple on a 33.

20k or so for a mint 94 model.

    • 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
