Ah well. Another MAS is over and people are back at work recovering from a long weekend of cleaning cars, talking to car enthusiasts and the general public.

A great showing again by SAU representitives and supporters.

I just thought I'd take this time to thank the many people who helped out getting my car to MAS again and assisted in making MAS dyno history again when my car ran 604awkw. Although we were intending on breaking my own outright record of 617rwkw, wheelspin didn't help our cause and we couldn't get a solid run out of the rollers :)

On a personal note, I want to thank:

Nige

Gerald

Karlos

Pete

Mick

who put in all the hard yards and late nights to get my car into MAS this time round. The engine sounded solid and made good numbers without flinching. The flame on Sat was defiantely a Kodak moment (Thanks SnowBall). 30kms of running in on the dyno and then making big numbers just goes to show how good the work is. As you may or may not know, the car wasn't ready until 5am on Sat morning and we drove the car into the Shed at 9:30am before the crowds came in. Talk about a close call. Without them, my car would still be sitting in the factory doing sweet nothing.

Jack (JAGR33) for making the effort to tow the cars from Ice to Jeff's Shed late Friday night and first thing again on Sat morning. Also, thanks to Nontas for towing my car back to TGS on Sunday night.

Thanks to Bec fro getting me the hot water for the car on Sat when it was needed. I hope the bucket went back to the owner coz I used my own bucket on Sunday and left it at the Shed :P

Thanks goes to Tony from TGS for storing my car on Sunday night. If it wasn't for him, my night would have been a lot longer driving the R to Richmond, coming back to the city and picking up the 6. Wouldn't have been fun.

Thanks to RPMZ, Kel and DJ Abs for organising the shirts, girly outfits, designs for the flyers, the after party and decks on the display. Another fine effort and greatly appreciated.

A special thanks to the fine fine ladiez who volunteered their time to promote FA, have their photos taken with the crowd and hand out flyers on Sat to promote the after party. A stunning effort indeed.

Finally, thanks to all the supporters who did favours for me and the Ice guys to make our lives easier.

If I've missed anyone out, I'm sorry but I do appreciate the efforts.

See you all at the NDSOC day on 28 May!

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in

      R33 general questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
