9000rpm because that's what the data sheet for the HKS Step 2 2.8L stroker kit says it'll do - and the engine seems happy doing it 🤷‍♂️ N1 block, stroker kit, 272 cams, some mild head work, makes around 540awkw on E85. Engine's been solid, cops a beating with "2 stepping" and flat shifting sequential but it's getting retired to a more sedate street car life shortly to make way for a 10,000rpm 3.2L.

Yep, literally slapped a Nismo part number sticker over the original Nissan sticker in a lot of circumstances.

I decided to search again last night and found 1x 76870-22U00 in stock in Japan, and paid 112k yen for it 😐 stupid I know, but the only brand new one I have seen pop up in months. Now to find 76871... if you know of anyone that happens to have one, I am more than interested and will pay "im having a mid life crisis" stupid money for it.

Thanks for that, I have those pieces already so we're talking about different things The parts I need are 76870-22U00 and 76871-22U00 which are "Weatherstrip Retainer" - the hard black "plastic" molding running from the A pillar to B pillar.

If it is the molding from A to B pillar you'll need to try and fix it. I have been trying to source these for an R33 for months (and am willing to pay stupid money for them if anyone knows where to find a set), they are like unicorns and I cannot find them anywhere in the world brand new.

bump! back from the dead with another GTR (R33 this time)

Hey all, Been a long time forum member and recently moved to NYC. Owned an R32 GTR V-Spec back in Australia since the early 2000's, unfortunately had to let it go to move here. Good to see these beats starting to turn up in the US, hopefully I can move somewhere a bit more car friendly than Manhattan in the near future and pick one up.

I am friends with someone fairly senior working out at Dickson motor registry dealing directly with this. Short answer is you will not be granted an UVP for a track car to drive it to/from a circuit. If it's a rally car participating in an event that involves public road you can get an UVP. The differentiation is that rally's are sanctioned events with approval to operate on public roads (or road related areas) and circuits are not. If you need to get your car to the track, buy a car trailer. I've had many arguments with him over a few beers on this subject.

Haha that's why we're so good at what we do Richard. I've finally figured out that you don't plug the USB cord into the network port, who'd have thunk it?

It's my once every 3 years post, and anything to take the attention away from Richard... That dude shits me off to no end...

Spotted white R33 GTSt with white wheels at Lanyon Caltex a few hours ago.

CBF looking for it right now, but it definitely exists and the definition of a road related area includes a publically accessible car park. Mate at work got done about 2 weeks ago - car park out the back of the building which is on private land, but it's connected to a road and publically accessible. Mate did actually seek legal advice and they told him he was out of luck and provided him with the legislation that covers it off.

Westfield management don't know what they are talking about then. ACT legislation allows vehicle inspectors to perform their duties on any road or road related area, including car parks - if the car park is connected to a public road and is not a locked area (e.g. you can walk into it), vehicle inspectors can defect a vehicle in it. Westfield are however correct that ACT Government cannot fine people for parking infringements in private car parks without being permitted/invited by the owner of the car park.

Bit late to the party, but I need to correct some big misinformation here.The Australian Federal Police have two branches effectively - Community Policing (which are the police you see around the ACT enforcing ACT law) and Federal Agents. Federal Agents can only enforce federal law, they cannot enforce state laws such as traffic offences. Community Policing can only enforce the territory they are deployed ins law, e.g. the ACT. ACT Community Policing AFP members are sworn in as "special constables" in NSW where they can pursue and arrest someone that has committed a crime in the ACT into NSW. There are *a lot* of restrictions around this as well. So there are no "Federal cops" that roam around the country defecting cars in any state. AFP can only defect cars in the ACT (or anywhere else they do Community Policing), Federal Agents cannot enforce local state laws (without an invitation to cooperate with that states local police force).

Many years ago there was a guy named Jerry who owned a shop called J-Racing. Jerry had a brother named Johnny who also worked at J-Racing, whom originally owned a pretty cool looking Honda Civic. Johnny got rid of the Honda and started being spotted in a bright orange R33, which became known as the "J-Racing Skyline".Johnny moved to Sydney and worked for Jetspeed, whom J-Racing got a lot of stock from. Hence the questions about "is that the old J-Racing Skyline"? If it was the Jetspeed car then it is indeed the J-Racing Skyline. Nothing bad, just some nostalgia for us older members from "back in the days". Good to see it back in the hands of a respectful owner Edit: and it seems J-Racing still exist purely as a smash repairer and bodykit shop in Fyshwick.

:D is all I have to say. Where abouts you sitting Shell?

100% out - Melbourne Grand Prix is on this weekend...

No

Yep - no problems with it thus far and I was driving it like I stole it (and then the clutch let go, doh...)

Bitter much? *ducks* All the work on my car was done at Autotech, but the motor was done by Racepace in Melbourne. Autotech used to get another company to do their engine internal work, not sure if that's the case still though. Give them a call and if they do it in house, I'd give them a shot.

Can someone check S15016678 for me please? Should be a JDM Spec R

You make me laugh Richtard Go with ESP Kat, you've organised a successful day there before and they always put on a good day and are extremely accommodating. These "event" days aren't to hang shit on different cars/parts/workshops/tuners, enough of that goes on as it is. It's a day to put all that crap aside and have fun as car enthusiasts. Edit: and to also laugh at Richtard cause his car is ghey

Spotted a white R34 GT-T doing a sick "dorifto" around the Rose Cottage round-a-bout at 2:20 this afternoon. Some interesting facts about this spotted though... 1. The passenger in my car was an off-duty police officer. 2. He got your number plate details. 3. You just won yourself some extra scrutiny from the police over the next few months as your registration details will be entered into the RAPID system (you know, those automated cameras on police cars that can scan 8 lanes of traffic at once?). 4. Stop driving like a knob on public roads, in the middle of the day, behind other traffic. It's people like you that give real Skyline enthusiasts a bad name. 5. If you want to show off your best impressions of Takumi, Wakefield Park is only an hour away... 6. Hopefully you get a visit from the local constabulary later tonight or tomorrow to possibly talk some common sense into you. 7. Grow up.

Yeah it's the Caltex at Calwell shops. When you're coming down Monaro Highway after the paintball place just hook a right at the round-a-bout and go straight through the second round-a-bout (like 10 metres after the first one) and you'll see it on your left.

I think most of us are congregating at Calwell servo between 7 and 7:30 for a 7:30 departure, it's only 5 mins down the road from Hume so you should meet us there
