I was just looking through the SAU Events and i saw another happy laps was on at QR on the 23 I know this is only 3 days after the cruise but is anyone keen?

Wasn't it on the 23rd of this month?

Ive seen a few R33's getting around that arnt on here, well not that i know of anyway. Ive seen both parked near west street (one on it and one the next street over) both have series 2 wings. Ones white and one is blue. :)

There are a buttload of 33's around town. We will have to think about a meet up point to convoy it down to Aspley. Maybe macca's near my place for brekky then hit it?

Yes defiantly need to work out a meet up point. Which macca's near your's were you thinking Clint? Meet up time will be 6:30 for a 7 departure. Usually take me around 2 hours to get from here to Aspley ( my aunty lives near there). I know a good route to get there but could be a hassle (depending on numbers) getting across Brisbane to Aspley. Or we could see if the Ipswich guys are keen to meet up somewhere and convoy to Aspley with them

yer could be difficult with traffic lights etc, keen if we can get it organaised though for sure

I'll post it up it in our group... If time is an issue probs easier to give ippy a miss

yer i was thinking that, its probley better to know where gona be able to get there on time. And there should be enough going down to be our own mini cruise anyway lol

haha yer, i couldnt resist :P, I'd love to go for a run at some point in one of the GTR's ive never even been in one before id like to do a comparison.

I went for a run in my mates Vortech Supercharged GT-P this afternoon Ferk me what a beast, Ran 12.4 at willowbank on street tires and low boost (between 6 & 7 pound). Its not the fastest car ive been in but its deffinetly the fastest daily drive street car ive been in, i couldnt get over how quite and calm it was untill you opened it up, amazing lol.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
