ahh, G'Day Skliner's !! (sup)

enough of that crap...........Does anyone know where I can find this info...

How many registered (on the road) model R33 GTS/GTS-T's are there in Australia and then in Victoria alone; (not interested in GTR's, or are they considered to be 'Skylines as a whole' by the road authorities).

I would also like to know, for comparison sake, how many current model Commodore and Falcons there are registered.

I know it's a big call, but I just want to direct the answer to a couple of knuckle-head work-mates who keep on saying that the (R33)Skyline is "so fucHing common....er, like commodores...er...'burp'...you see them everywhere!!!"

Rather than be like them, I would like to present some comments that are a little more factual and better presented er...burp.

If someone can just point me in the general direction?......

anyways Skliners,

chankya! :wassup:

the reason they notice them "everywhere" is because they notice them over other cars on the road.. thereby making their own shitboxes boring and blending into the background and a skyline something different.. therefore their hypothesis is inherently flawed..

bah fords and holdens....who pays attention to those rust buckets anyway... i wouldnt notice one if was painted fluro yellow with a billboard nailed to the roof... the only way id probably notice one was if it was eating my dust in my mirrors, and even then it wouldnt get a second glance....

their f**king common as...:):D:D

Why do you care what they say? ...and even if you did find out how many, it's still not a fair comparision as you know.

It could be the fact they are easily spotted now because they are different to what is available locally. God I gave up looking at Skylines after one year here, except for BNR34...BCNR33 and BNR32 aren't a big deal to me no more.

I don't see that many skylines on the roads among all the other JDM cars. Human nature you don't need to see 5 a day...just seeing 1 different Skyline...week in, week out it's enough to say they are common.

Why go to all the trouble just to prove a few knuckle heads...is there a prize to be won?

welll..in Canberra at least...there are nowhere near as many!

it's just a dumb arguement...

just as a test - anyone, anywhere in Australia sit at a major set of traffic lights and look around you. Guaranteed there'll be a Commodore or Falcon there somewhere. Probably quite a few. You can't say that about Skylines, anyone who thinks there's just as many is delousional (sp?)

There's heaps more than there USED to be, which is why people start these stupid arguements. meh i don't care anyway, if there's lots on the road it's obviously because they're great cars :):D

thanx for your support guys (and Michelle), I suppose I'm one of those "here are the facts" type of people. After reading these threads, I suppose I don't need to be.

These recalcitrants (at my workplace) can go an get sodded!!

Anyways................

Up the Skliners. (and the Irons)

superspit, try and find how many cars where imported TOTALLY in a year and then see how many commodores are sold each year.

I read somewhere in 2002 when i imported my car there was something like 27k cars or so. say 15% of that are 33's then thats about 4000 in one year. holden sell in excess of 27,000 commodores a year.. eaaaasy!

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
