Guitar

Been teaching myself since yr 12 (2001) so that makes it 2 and a bit years. Just started playing with a Uni band (but we need a drummer! :) ) Got a Cort M500 (will post pics later) because i wanted a PRS but couldn't afford one, so i got the only model that makes a rip off of the PRS shape. Basically a non-turbo GTR kitted R33 :thumbsup:

Pretty much play John Mayer exclusively, cos i love acoustic style guitar and need a semi-acoustic if anyone wants to sell or knows someone who wants to sell.

Love any guitar playing which is interesting and fun to play, something different than power chords and 4 chord songs. Hence John Mayer and Dave Matthews, really fun stuff to play. But don't mind to venture down the heavy path either, Tool have some killer riffs, Deftones, Incubus has a kick ass guitarist.

Keyboards/Piano and tenor saxophone. Haven't been playing for a while (too busy at work) but still jump on 'em to play every now and then.

Ever tried fitting two keyboards, PA system, mixer and a drum kit in a R33??? It's bloody hard! (But possible :cheers:)

Guitar...

Played in High School & Uni Band with songs ranging from oldies (to entertain the conservative teachers) to Bon Jovi & Metallicas in Uni... Had a Prince electric but left it back home and I think been sold since I have migrated here...

Now I only have 2 acoustics instruments:

- Ibanez acoustic guitar

- Samick acoustic bass (Greg Bennett styled)

awesome rianto

i like listening to older rock like stones and led zep, but very much enjoy queens of the stoneage, foo fighters (hooray grohl), uhhh...cant remember what else but yeah not really into the whole whinge rock like good charlotte and linkin park and other such songs about dad not accepting me and being a loser at school but look at me now i have enough cash to buy a couple of thousand cdr's to make some albums and sign a contract so i could be manufactured as much as britney spears....i also dont like avril lav...however you spell it

How about two two turntables, two CDJ cd turntables, a DJ mixer, keyboard stand for turntables, 800W amp, 2 x 1m tall PA speakers, speaker stands, 2 gobo lights, light stand, assorted leads, records and CDs into an R32 GTR?

oh, and driver.

...if it don't fit, force it :D

ok so guys, when i get home im going to record my drumming, nothing too long or fancy, and only using a crappy microphone for playing games, but still. it will only be a 4/4 type beat. i'll upload it to my webspace and you guys can dl it, and play some strings (or cnblow you could also do a variation of my beat and add fills etc).

then when you do your samples whatever im going to be using cool edit 2k to put everthing together, editing like crazy, and making the 1st ever SAUVIC & SAU song.

so, whose in? send me a pm and of what you are going to play

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • 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
