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 ....

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
