saw another candidate saturday afternoon. Black R33, would have been a nice car if it didnt have silver stripes all over it, with the fast and the furious written on the side of the rear wing.

It had tommy kaira stickers, and from what i saw it was genuine too, cause tommy kaira cars have the name on EVERYTHING.

its sacrelige. bloody rice boy spoiled a perfectly good car.

dad has a tommy k 300zx, so i have seen how body, guages, speedo, seats etc all have tommy kaira written on them, even wheels and exhaust tip.

Anyway the R33 has the genuine lettering all over it, but that stupid ****ing rice boy ruined it. I have only heard of one other tommy k R33 here in perth before (that hasnt been pranged).

so one of two is owned by a rice boy, the thing is it would probably eat most people, so theres no way of knocking him down to earth.

Hey,

I have a Tommy Kaira 300ZX (I sold my R33 GTST to buy it).

Deesh - have sent you an email.

I'd love to get some more info on your Dad's car - I thought I had the only one in Australia till now!!!

My website for the car:

yeah i have seen both the falcon and silvia around warwcik

i lmao hahah

also i saw the guy with the WRX and i asked him why spend money on stickers and exterior styling instead of working the **** outta the engine and his response was " It looks Sweet"

yeah mate looks sweet........not

you might aswell go around plastering kfc and hungry jacks drive through stickers on the car, it will do the same job.

THATS IT,,

Im taking all my DECALS off, cant believe so many people bagging cars with them on, I wonder now just how many people were bagging my car :P I was just trying to personalise my car but the F&F theme seems to be overdone. Will have to get new set, dont like airbrush because it is too premenent, oh well, it looked good while it lasted.

haha. I figured Judged would read this sooner or later.

I reckon it's fundementally a load of shit to label everyone who has a sticker on their car a dHead. as long as you can have fun and not take yourself too seriously, then that's what it's all about. Id rather enjoy myself and play the goose every now and then than be the fastest and be a pompous git.

My GF will shortly have a ricey mugen sticker on her BLATANTLY bog stock ek civic, and the subject is a source of much hilarity to all who have met the car (its name is Rhonda the Honda!), including the owner.

Having a giggle and enjoying the whole thing has been, and will continue to be, WAY better than being jaded and L33Tist about it. Which only ever seems to create grumpiness.

summoner - for a start you're in a holden - no position to be bagging people mate.. and somehow i think you would get serverly chopped in this one..

rev - in talking about racing attire - have you gone naked yet just to get that extra 0.000005 sec out of your so called standard 13 second car?

zanda - much agreement on this one from me.. ppl should be able to do what they like.. as someone said here earlier "whatever floats your boat"..

this thread has probably suceeded in upsetting at least one person and turning away maybe a few more potential members..

now i'm not a big fan of lots of stickers myself - but why are all you guys bagging them so much? trying to make up for something you don't have by ridiculing others? idiotic if you ask me..

my 2 cents..

Whoa. No need to get worked up Zanda and Cam. :P I'm of the opinion, as most ppl I've met are, stickers = rice and rice = funny. When you see ppl laughing at a car with stickers, they aren't laughing with them, they're laughing at them. :)

BTW, if the people we are turning away are ricers, so be it.

Gradenko - just because people like something that you don't means they should be turned away? We could end up with quite a small group with that sort of attitude..

I had no idea SAU was only for the elite hardcore non ricers.. :P

err cam.. head from ass please i know the WRX in question and i know its quick.. as for driving a holden.. woopee still beats your neon'd beast. :P

We were having light hearted discussions etc.. If people want stickers good on them so dont instantly asume we're trying to give the person shit as that wasnt my intention.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
