Thanks all.

PJ, As explained by Ian, there are many different support mechanisms and research programs that are funded by the different charities/foundations and societies etc.

to give you just an idea of what we have experienced:

Sydney Children's Hospital - Obviously provide medical car

Starlight Room - Provide kids with a safe enjoyable place to play inside the hospital

Clown Doctors - Come to the kids and make them laugh while they're sitting in beds they can't get up from

and then there is years of research prior...much of which is funded by charitable donations.

Also as he explained there are different types of cancer which require different types of medicines, science, ideas, etc to fight them.

For example, with Olivia, she had a Stage 3 Wilms' Tumour.

It can be staged from Stage 1 through to 5, each of which is treated differently.

In each of those stages, it can have 3 to 5 different variations, which are all treated differently once again.

further to that, there are now DNA tests they can do which further break down and change treatment again.

So just imagine how many different type of cancer there are and then how many subsets of each one is treated/studied and therefore funded differently.

A bit hit and miss Adam :/ A fair bit of traffic coming down the hill playing interference. Got the occasional good one though. Will hopefully post up batch #3 of photos tonight.

All the best to you, your family, and especially Olivia, Jason!!

Was both an honour and privilege to help out by being a part of the event to help such a great cause!!

I'm sure most of us would love to hear how Olivia goes with the rest of her treatment!! =)

PS.:

That surely isn't my car?

Bob, if that is, you're living my dream!! Haha

Thanks for the info.

I though cancer was cancer and attacked different regions and was treated according to that.

When I have decent Internet again, might try and search for some documentaries.

Glad to see so many pics showing up guys.

Awesome shots as always Matt!

I am sure a few people are saving these!!!

And double thanks Matt for getting a couple with my car.

Being at the back I wasn't expecting anything so very happy :)

Same would be said for Ciaron lol.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
