Hey guys

My car got egged either late last night or very early in the morning, it was parked on a driveway with the gates closed too! Damn bastards!!

Anyone around the Canley Vale, Canley Heights area get done too?

Trying to figure out around what time it happened, so I can camp those little bastards with a baseball bat :)

Anyone that lives near here that got done too, is welcomed to join me lol.

From what I was told eggs can wreck the paintwork if left on long enough, roughly how long does it need to be on for that to happen?

ive had my car egged a few times when i leave my car in Menai overnight, they usually do the whole street so i know its not a personal attack atleast....

On the R33 ive had the car egged on friday night or early saturday morning, and one time i didn't get to my car untill sunday evening, washed it off with a hose and no issues and this was in summer because i remember it was warm weather. The egg was baked on the car and it came off with plain water, when i got home i washed it wth soap but there was no marks.

I personally think its a myth that eggs can destroy your paint work in a resonably short time (like a few days) despite what wiki-answers says lol.

If you really wanna fk your paint how about paint thinner or brake fluid???

and that wiki answers guy is alittle stupid, pouring boiling water would denature the eggs protiens faster and more agressively and "IF" an egg was to damage the pint work the last thing I would do is pour boiling water onto it which would be likely to speed up the chemical reaction....

My 2cents, and use common sense

Cold water washed it off fine though it took awhile trying to scrape the egg yolk off.

There was a small chip on the driver side door paint, but I don't remember if it was there before or not lol.

Definitely learnt my lesson for being lazy and not parking it in the garage :)

where were these guys when i needed breakfast this morning??

I'll be sure to let you know if i find out :ermm:

One of my parents cars had damage to the paint from egg, but that's cause it was on there for up to a week in the sun, we were on holidays when it was done. However if you get it off in the next day or two I've never had a problem. Egg shells on the other are real pain. My mates car got egged one night in a quiet residential street and you can see where the eggs hit cause there's tiny little chips down to the metal in the shape of the egg.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
