My name is Michael 28yoa, I don't work ATM Injured my myself pretty bad at work, I Do game console Modchips for people as a hobby at the moment, I have a trendy Mohawk hairstyle and I drive a turbo so my mates started calling me Turbomoehican.

Ive owned a small amount of vehicles. My first car was Oldman's Renault 12 tl 1972 4 sedan, I rolled it, popped the head, fried the electrical system and warped the engine block. I also sanded it back, prepped it, painted it limegreen woot, replaced floor carpet, rebuilt the engine, and fixed the electrical awesome car though had about 45kw what a powerhouse and always overheated going up steep hills. Then I got a commonwhore v6 put a chip in it and then ended up stuffing the suspension on the roads and beaches down to lower light in SA.

I got another commonwhore this time a ex-pursuit v8 vn. The guy I bought it off had a heap of suspension work done to it, chipped, shift kit, and rebuilt engine made 215rwkw not bad for a lump of scrap iron. Did all the services myself, audio install, neon light install. Then bad times hit blew up the engine tried to get it towed, ended up putting hole in fuel tank, bending rear panhard rod, fried computer and eventually it got sold for a burn-out comp car. However I must have the record for best fine ever from the Police I was 21 once! Was going to a party and had 7people in the back and two in the front passenger seat. and got fined and defected for Scrubbing rear tyres, and the car being too low. Never for the overloaded car. Then after all these shenanigans

I came to the turbo party I bought a R33 S2 Skyline Gts25t not a bad car, now after almost $20k worth of mods is quite exciting to drive. this is where i decided to actually learn about cars properly I did every Mod that I could Myself I would just find out how on Google or from forums. My skyline makes 271rwkw with boost as early as 2200rpm and full-boost by 3000rpm although its been headaches the whole way through. Ive had the heater core pop twice and fill the cabin with coolant So now im very proficient and removing dashes and installing heater cores, because i wasn't paying $2000 for a 6 hour job. Ive had turbo shit itself, warped mainfolds, ignition woes of all kinds, false knocking signals, bad O2 signals, shot clutch, Engine not put back to standard when complied, exhaust studs snapped in block, amp ignition wire fry right back to the mainloom, stock radiator had cracked plastic end tanks, pinhole leaks in coolant lines under and behind the head, MAF issues, right hand wheel scrubbing sidewall and tearing apart whilst driving very fast 263km/hr.

However I have fixed all these issues and now the car is awesome great streeter but its off to be sold.

I Own and have read about 2000 or more (lost count) HPI, drift, Hot4's, Unique cars magazines Ive spent a lot of time reading the tech sections and seeing what others have down with their rides. my skills include basic auto electronics, soldering, basic metal fabrication, welding, and pretty good with a spanner pretty mechanically minded, and i can do basic paint repairs. I know a fair bit abit about my R33 especially all the pitfalls

Hoping some will buy it

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
