I am looking at getting an engagement ring for the misses in in the near future and was wondering if any of the NSW crew either work at a Jewellers or have good experience with any in the Sydney region...???

Cheers Guys.

You might save some moolah and end up with a larger stone if you go with a 'manufacturing jeweller'.

The guy that made my diamond wedding ring and my wife's engagement ring is one such person.

If you'd like to contact him, his name is Lanman Cheong (Lanman's Fine Jewellery) 02-9542 3222 and tell him Terry sent you if you like.

He won a De Beer's Award once, in his heyday. He used to make rings for Bruce & Walsh.

He works from home these days and if you see him, he lives on a modest waterfront property at Prince Edward Dr Woronora

Hint:- you and your fiancee might take a pic of your favourite design in a store, grab details of the stone with specs on the 3x Cs (carat , colour, clarity) and go with a budget in mind to the manufacturing jeweller like above - and state that this is your limit; so "what can we get with that amount of money?"

Hope this helps...

Highly recomend jordans jewelers in Sydney cbd on market st, i got my missues her ring there, it works out well that i know the people there, but the process is too easy they guide you through every step of the way and work with your budget to make a ring thats unique, i chose three ring designs and got them to make one from the parts that i liked, see either Joy or Ari and say that Eddie recomended you.

best of luck with it mate, my missus loved the ring.

Yeah I did a double take (read) on that one too! THanks for all the input guys... I am most likely either going to head down the antique route or have one made like many have suggested... Now to continuesaving the pennies...

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
