Saw what I think was an R33 front with R32 back turning onto Delfin Island West Lakes this arvo about 4 20pm?

Sky blue paint with black (vented?) bonnet? Only caught a quick look at it, anyone know this car?

yep it belongs (or belonged) to an Asian guy who worked at Z-Imports - last I heard he was trying to sell it. IceDuck bought his old R34GTT wheels for me to borrow for my R34 for compliance, nice guy that he is :happy: - oh and if you read this Duc (either Duc), I still have the centre caps here in my garage - forgot to give them back to you.

It has an R34 GTR front end conversion. I still haven't seen an R33 front on a 32.

SECRET is gunmetal grey, the one i have seen is at least, wide side skirts, not to my liking tho.

Is there another?

Good freind of mine, only "secret" skyline i know i adelaide, and its gunmetal grey. However i did see a gold tuff looking R33...it blocked me at Upark (under tafe in the city) coz the guy lost his ticket lol. so i was sitting in my stock "beast" behind it for a bit, waiting 4 him to move away from the exit.

Saw that gold car with the CF driving down main north road towards grand junction intersection last night as i was pulling into my driveway...sounds very tough and looks tough as well

i havent seen secret...what is so special about it may i ask?

dont know what he has had done to interior or engine but tough looking, nice colour, altho not a fan of his side skirts. just a nice looking car.

good luck selling that non turbo skyline vange...good price but i think skylines should have never been released non turbo.

Saw a hot blonde chick ( i hope it was not one of those good from afar, but far from good situations) in a black 33 on melb street today. Looked pretty stocky apart from exhaust (the car not the girl). (Didnt have a FMIC --> Could have been non turbo and that would be a shame/waste).

Anyone know of any potential employers: Im a bored Electrical Engineer, good with his hands, very logical/mechanically minded, will work hospitality (if have to --> but not in the future once the AWA's kick in or in any other field which is going to have its union abolished so the workers and smaller people are left at the whims of blood thirsty multinationals pushing down rates/standards of living/wages etc) --> resulting in increased gaps between the rich and poor (in case all you people were oblivious to what was going on).

Would prefer racing/stunt/crazy driving job but will settle for race engineer/mechanic/tuning and maybe even GIGOLOING if worst comes to worst....... I just dont want to lose my baby car!!!

Oh yeah.... and i have sort of lost my licnece (not from being a hoon --> just lost my wallet behind the couch somehwhere and it dissapeared) so jobs/employers have to be within riding range of nrth Adel.... (u dont need a licence to be a race car driver do you?)

Potential employers with private jets (preferably decommisioned fighter jets) are encouraged to apply ....

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
