I'll have to check out this construction and cruise a bit at the same time. Will be there (El Bee & Humbla) Enjoy!

I believe the best thing for them is to be driven regularly and serviced regularly. I do oil and filter every 5,000 kms. Changed all the belts and water pump 80,000 kms after it was done last time. She has even done nearly 60 runs down the quarter at WSID on the SAU drag days. El Bee

Ours is driven just about every day. Unfortunately, I drive around in a work van during the week, but my Wife can always find a reason to drive it. We've had it a bit over 3 years and have added 100,000 kms to the original reading. El Bee ps I make sure I get to drive on weekends.

Mate, don't let this thread sway you. You make sure you get yourself that Merc, but just make sure that you get plenty of mods to make sure that you can beat the Jap Crap peices of shit. BTW, good on mum setting the prime example on how to overtake a slower vehicle. El Bee

Anyone who bought recently from a yard and has a dodgy odometer should take it back and: 1. Get it fixed 2. Get the timing belt changed by them (as you cannot be sure of how many kms the car has done). I had the same thing from day one, odometer would start and stop. Got the seller to do the belts at 68,000kms (supposedly). I have now added another 100,000kms and changed the timing belt myself since. Anyhow... be aware that if your odometer is iffy, then you should do the timing belt as soon as possible (for the price of doing this it is great insurance that your engine will not go bang). El Bee

Baahaaahaaha

Agreed. But can I ask what happened to these guys head(s) ? El Bee

On the 27th you would have seen a Green R33 as well. Pity... Saw a Maroon R33 SII heading North through Nowra today 28/12. Veeeerrrry shiny. New paint job ? Anyone ? El Bee

Wow, total blue sky down here. It's a long way to get rained out (remembers last Skyline Dragday). Makes us feel a little better. Thanks Ben. El Bee & Humbla

Agreed. Not working tomorrow, and so was going to venture out. The Missus was going to have a go for the first time in quite a while now. Was looking forward to seeing her smash her previous time (and hopefully kick someone's arse in the process). El Bee

It was to be both ie Drag 6 til 9 then burnout but .. WSID site said no go for this Wed. El Bee

Looks like it is off for 281205 Gents. WSID site says too close to US event held Boxing Day and yesdy. El Bee

Is the stock guage in PSI ? I know my R33 isn't. It shows Hg of Mercury (or some other weird system of measurement). 14l / 100km is chewing a fair bit of juice for a stock R32 I believe. El Bee

A small thing like oil. Before the planes don't fly and the roads don't run and you do not have any plastics etc etc etc there will be some heavy shit going down. El Bee

I note that you have posted looking for a replacement aerial. I would not mind looking around in the "wheel well" but would baulk at taking the aerial out. Is it totally necessary to remove it from the body ? Do you still want someone to try and identify the pinouts ? El Bee

Ahhhh.... Looks different (maybe even a liitle bit threatening) Doing nothing much at all Illegal immigrant, terrorist, dole bludger ? Kill it !

Gday all, The future Son-in-Law is still on a mission to plonk a rebuilt RB30 with RB25DET head into his VL Calais using a Power FC. (I THINK) the last piece needed is the engine wiring to get this thing running. Hopefully someone can help out. Let me know if you can, or know someone or somewhere etc etc. El Bee

Sounds like your mate will poke anything

Yes

Hey Abo Bob, I am wondering whether your neutral safety swich is working and wired up as it should be. (Couple of assumptions here that you still have the auto (and that they use one)). El Bee

Will go for a look see. What about gr33dy and the guys further South ? El Bee

Wow. When I first looked at pic 1 it looked as though they were chipped and pitted etc. After a while I realised that this was just the "crusty stuff" that you mentioned. I change my oil and filter every 5,000 and find it hard to believe that anyone can run their car up to the point that you showed. Shame. El Bee ps. change your oil !

Good onya guys and gals for the organisational stuff. Had a good day and made it back to Nowra all in good time. Just a little bit of sunburn. Congrats to JAS-25T on a well deserved win. Nice to meet a few more of us in the club. All the best to all. El Bee & Humbla (Laurie & Genelle) *edit* Oh.. and Bonnie the neurotic canine.

I have been asked for a pic of the remaining drivers headlight. The one above is the only one I can find. (see 31 Oct post) Just a bump for easy reference. El Bee

I obviously had to lose a lot less plastic. This is how mine ended up. El Bee
