Hey Warwick! Where were you yesterday? We had HEAPS of fun :D

The new cooler is great :D I'm in love!

I would have liked to come, but was in Sydney for the weekend...hard to pass up a free weekend at the Park Hyatt

and I am extremely jealous of your new cooler :)

cyrus: thanks!

26/2/04

Genuine N1 Nissan Water Pump - $156

GTR Timing Belt - $98 (Gav only uses GTR belts)

I also had to replace the two tensioners too all up was $950 for:

timing belt

water pump

2 x tensioners

alt, air and ps belts

coolant inhibitor & bleed cooling

radiator cap

labour

I... Of course... was only reffering to thursday nights :D

:)

Haha...

Yes well *cough* Brisbane's thursday night organisings are a bit uhm... *cough*

The only I can think of that actually "went" somewhere was Gordo's one. *shrugs*

As I said to Cyrus when he was whinging about brisbane's organising skills, we are in a city.. where there aren't many good places to go cruising to for fun. Down the coast are big wide open roads with no public around in areas which makes it a lot easier to organise somewhere to go. *shrugs*

Oh wells.

It's very prewdy :) I can't wait to see what it does on wednesday night.. and then again at the next one.

I'm HOPING to have it in for fine tuning on Monday 10th May, then I'll go to the next test and tune after that and the Dyno day. :D

hrmmmm cyrus, mine cost me 350bucks, minus tensioners and pump, but plus gearbox and diff oil and engine oil and filter, and fuel filter

Yeah tensioners alone were friggin nearly $350 one was genuine nissan though Gav explained he tried to find anothe non-genuine, but I wanted the car back so he didnt have time ot source one, meh I am happy with the results so money well spent imho!

yowch! see that is why i have held off :)

how'd you get it done for $350 john? See i was originally going to get him to do all that shit too.. plus install a camgear.. now its got less and less to just the belt and waterpump .. and me doing the other stuff

matt: photoshop is your friend when it comes to maps

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • 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
