going nowhere finding someone to weld up the 31

seriously considering siliconing up the holes, keeping the metal i've shaped and welding up when it goes back to qld

in the process of regoing the r31 today and stumbled upon this

"Can an unregistered vehicle be towed?

A permit must be obtained even if the vehicle is being towed by a registered vehicle, unless the registered vehicle is a tow truck."

http://www.transport.tas.gov.au/registration_information_tas/short_term_unregistered_vehicle_permit

what the?

also, i thought you could just drive your un-regoed car around IF you were getting it fixed/going to the pits, but on that it says you have to get the permit to do it!

Big ooops if you can't because the car may be getting a road worthy cert as we speak :ermm:

If you are going to the pits/inspection you don't need a permit. But you do need to be booked in, and heading the most direct route there.

i gave my self some inspiration/motivation thanks to a sleepless night and photoshop

I have a roof wing for a 33 at home, nice shape. Not really sure I want to sell it but it looks silly with a rear series 2 wing and I don't plan on ditching that anytime soon. If you would like it offer me some street credits and it could be yours.

Eoi on a few parts i have laying about: r33 pfc and 550cc injectors 1k or swap for wheels or coilovers to suit ceff or r32 , r32 brakes and rotors 250? , rb26 twin aftermarket stainless manifold and twin td05 turbos with dump pipes $800

SAU tas is dead atm, so here's some more of my shit. nowelly, look away now.

made my splitter end plates/fins.

made my blank plate for my dash where the head unit used to live.

made base plates for some F1 craft square style carbon lightweight mirrors. (still have protective shit on) - black polly carb.

and didnt take pics but made up some carbon sheets that cover the OEM wing holes in the boot, going to fit some 300mmx300 carbon base plates to the boot under the wing also. even tho i have braced the boot/wing with 3mm wall ally RHS, bit of added rigidity wont hurt. will eventually get myself a carbon flush fitting boot, but that is going to have to wait til more important shit is bought.

lexan screens wont be too far away. couple more weeks.

I also got some new hole saw bits and decided to cheddar cheese my door frame. using both 52mm and 32mm saw bits. did 31 holes, to removed a grand total of 100 grams. um, think i'll stop there at best i'll get another 100 grams out (of the passengers isde door). total waste of time and effort. only way to make enough difference would be to remove the oem intrusion bar, cut the entire inside section of the door frame out remove window reg and run permantenly fixed lexan screen with NACA sliders. bugger that, i'll run lexan screens but i'm keep my elec. window regs. will save around 1 kg per side on the mirrors. carbon doors would save a shitload but thats not happening anytime soon!

hoping to get the boot painted out in the next few weeks, not too many things left now =D

Carbon isn't very stiff if its just laid on flat

maybe grab some core material if you want to stiffen it up some more (you can make some little stiffeners by laminating some core material with carbon over the top)

update on the dirty wan:

sprinted down to hobart yesterday and picked up a rear windscreen for $20! to replace the one i exploded by accident

booked in on wed for the reinstall, ($110 at obriens)

its is actually pretty rigid, i have a bit of 2.5mm thick stuff that i trialed, spreads the load more evenly on the boot skin, but the bracing in the boot is mounted upto the boot skin, which took me (90kg) bouncing up and down on it. the said carbon will also hide some holes from a previous wing trial, lol

yeah pretty much came to that conclusion. I'm an Ex panel beater, so have the gear to do so but can't bring myself to unspot them and rip them out. well not at this stage anyway. E46 beamer intrusion bars bolt out, wish datsun's where the same!

Hey guys,

So I have a 33 as a daily now, actually really liking the car. Not after any engine mods as I have the 180 for that.

Anyway is there any r33's being wrecked around tassie at all? There is a few things I want to replace to fix it up a bit nicer.

Cheers, Mandi

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
