Oh hai...

Car is all done.... again :D

Drivers side Recaro installed.

Passenger side Recaro still needs a rail.
Installed Mike's old auto trans cooler in the factory spot as a power steering fluid cooler to upgrade from the Loop thing in front of the drivers wheel.

Replaced orange indicators with clear ones which were thrown in with the front bar I bought, he clearly didn't know what they're worth.

Oil Change

Great success.

Also, sold my stock 33 turbo... Had the price very roughly set, guy travels for like 45 minutes to my place to inspect it and then he starts ummming and aarring about shaft play and how he doesn't know if it's worth it...classic bargining move, then right off the bat he offers me $5 less than my asking price :| Professional haggler right there :|

Well done SIMON.

Shit I'd completely forgotten about my southern cross tramp stamp, it's still kind there surprisingly.

Tramp stamp?

Shouldn't have left the party...

Yeah I didn't say anything, but you were flashing the goods when you were trying to get the PS Hose off and leaning down into the engine bay... Think the turbo buyer's mate was a bit keen when he spotted it

I scrubbed the crap out of mine in the shower with a nail brush, I'm still pink

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
