Floods In Hawthorn


Recommended Posts

Was speaking to my sister yesterday...One of her friends owns an R33 GTR which was severly water damaged in last weeks floods...so much in fact that the car was deemed a "writeoff" by his insurance company..

Now that sucks!!!!

There would have been alot mor expensive cars than a R33 GTR that were water damaged from those floods. There are BMW, Merc, Porsches, Audi's etc parked around near our office, and on the streets which were flooded.

Hawthorn has all rich people.

There was a brand new yellow GT3 Porsche parked outside our office in a 15 minute loading zone when i went to get lunch today. The council office is also right near and i could see the parking inspectors looking at it waiting for the 15 mins to expire so they could give him a ticket.

If he was parked in the same spot last week he would have had to fish his GT3 out about 2km's down the road :)

bastard attachments... I keep gettin an error message sayin that the source cant be found... cant be bothered with it anymore.

anywho, nice to hear that there are a few lines round my place, mines a black r33gtst with gtr bodykit, lowered, drift r mags and "nxtc" plates... say hello if you c me.

    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.  
    • Thanks, these seem to lay it out a bit differently. I will get back to you guys after i do some tests and more digging.
