Hey all

had a fun morning today

driving the ceff to get tuned- on the way back i hear a scraping sound on the highway back- thought it was a truck behind me and just kept cruisng

after the truck exited teh hwy a couple minutes later i realised its a bit closer to home than that :)

decided to pull over and find this beautyzaust.jpg

Seem the mofo shook it self loose on our lovely smooth sydney roads (ie parramate road sucks teh azz)

Had a good laugh trying to position back into place on the side of the road ;)

Just goes to show how fked our roads are (that is to say it had a full underbody check at the workshop)

hehehe It makes 129 db at 4grand -unfortunately- sounds like some sort of evil monster though- gotta love that tough deep SR sound -

Id love to bring her out for a meet/cruise whatever- if you guys are keen post up some ideas :) missed the last cruise coz of ahem engineering issues ;) but all good now

Lol it actually made less than that when i got it but somehow one of my silencers flew out during some *spirited* driving :) Its completely straight through up to the turbo -there is a cat on there but it came with a cat pipe for racing use also

Its all good though ;)

Anyone going to wakefield this weekend?

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
