Afternoon fockers,

All this busyness at work is getting in the way of my whoring on Sau

[t_revz]

this place is crankin

Get Leesh, sorry to hear about the car

Looking at another?

Eventually when I'm ready. I've got a car I can borrow for a few months so there isn't a huge rush.

[t_revz]

Naice,

Did you Go away for school hols?

[Manne]

That's ok. Worst case scenario I'll do the tint, guards and mesh and get KYP to do the electrics and whatever else they need to get it pit ready.

[L33SH]

Naice,

Did you Go away for school hols?

Yeah Europe

[t_revz]

Oh that's right,

Forgetful Trev

[t_revz]

Yeah Europe

Saw sheree a little while back, she asked how your going

I said you'd come to your senses and come back eventually

[L33SH]

Would love to, miss home so much

[t_revz]

Would love to, miss home so much

Sauwa rescue mission?

[t_revz]

Been 11 years since the 33 went to the east coast for a visit

Overdue

Oh, here is a photo of the freshly washed R33 4 Door, nearly ready to get some plates slapped onto her. (not embedding because the photo is huge)

Theres so much bird poo burn on her, as well as weird stains that I just couldn't remove and some weird blue-tacky glue stuff that's somehow leaked onto her. My current tools were not able to remove those.

Also plenty of scrapes and dings but hey.... the car was less than $3k and I'll sort those out in time.

Current plan: Mesh Grill, Remove rear Window Tint and Fit the Wheel Arch Guards. Then either drag my mate around to fix the Electrics, or if he really can't make it, drive the car to KYP, have them fix the electrics and prepare her for the pits.

Take Car over Pits, Get Licensed. If the car doesn't get licensed, fix whatever they want and take it back.

After that I need to save some cash, and then I move on to fixing the body and adding a few things (Reverse Camera, new Head Unit), and then we shall see about making the car perform better.

Not bad... For a 4dr

Reverse camera? Moar powerz!!

[Manne]

The car has a front mount intercooler, GFB bleed valve, Splitfires, Pod Filter. It's currently running the stock Turbo and BOV. It's also had the Oil Filter re-routed for easier access.

Here is a photo of the engine bay, taken just before I fixed the leak: http://i.imgur.com/8AMJuJm.jpg

Did I mention it was rebuilt 50,000km's ago and was resprayed candy apple red? along side all new piping (which was tig welded, but needs a polish).

It's plenty fast enough for now.

Truthfully, I have no idea what to do with the engine...bigger turbo? aftermarket B.O.V?, ECU + Tune?.. no idea yet.

Things I definitely want: Coilovers and Sway Bars, New Breaks + Rotors, Braided Break Lines.

edit: fixed some bad spelling

Def ask before spending on engine. Trap for new players is that many advertised parts on eBay etc are crap. Not crap built but design. Standard bov is fine

Many threads with newbies who bought a tone of cheap engine parts then join Sau to find out why their car comes onto boost at 6500rpm and only has 250hp, if it didn't blow up first

[t_revz]

Talk to hank for suspension bits!!

[Manne]

I'm aware of cheap ebay parts and I will not use them. I don't intend on doing anything to the engine (other than maintenance) for a few months anyway, my priorities are: get it licensed, fix up the body.

[turboedsloth]

Good plan right there. 25's respond to minimal mods half the time, quality high mount/manifold/gate/exhaust/injectors/ECU. Got one down here putting out 600hp with standards internals bar head gasket and cams
