Legend, happy days. Already on my way to chuck it in the pile of crap I’ve taken off so far. Negative. The only thing holding the rear solenoid and two hardline pipes on was a couple of bolts holding the solenoid to the chassis and the brackets that ran up with the fuel inlet/outlet/breather hoses and rear brake line. No flexible hoses attached to the solenoid at all, it has literally been doing nothing as far as I could see, was just worried the car would still need to have the circuit connected.

Gday guys, I’ve posted this in other places online but no one has given me an answer to this question **(edit- also did a search regarding HICAS delete/HICAS solenoid here on SAU too and couldn’t find anything after a good look so apologies in adavance if it’s asked a million times and I missed it)**, is the HICAS solenoid required on a 32GTR after HICAS itself is deleted? Just wanting to know since I’m in the middle of an underbody and subframe refresh. The car already had a HICAS delete before I bought it and the two hardlines that go from the solenoid to the engine bay/power steering system were already completely disconnected and just sitting there open to the elements and unattached to anything, it’s just that the solenoid itself still had the brown electrical connector attached to it at the rear end of the car. Happy to tuck it away in the back of the shed with everything else not needed that I’ve pulled off the car but if it’s still needed to be electrically connected to make a circuit to do something in the car I guess I’ll have to bolt it back in. The car will be running a full aftermarket ECU and dash set up if that’ll help me to understand if it can come out so it could possibly be tuned around or have no warning lights on the dash. cheers guys, have a good one!

Looks good. The old girl has come a long way from when you first picked her up.

Thanks for the reply Burnie, although it’s all a little over my head. I should’ve paid a bit more attention during maths half a lifetime ago in school, hey? I think I’ll just have to risk it. If push comes to shove there’ll probably be either some below cost brand new valves, pistons or Vcam setup depending on what works and doesn’t work.

Gday guys! Just a quick one, hoping to get some confirmation and information from a builder or someone much more smarter than I with regards to a build I’m doing with possibly the above mentioned parts in my RB26. I already have in relation to the build the stroker kit (Tomei RB28) that I got for a steal as well as the full Ferrea valve train setup with the +1mm OS valves. I’ve now been given the opportunity to buy a HKS Vcam Step 2 system for again a very good price and I’m incredibly keen. Before I go ahead and drop the money I’d just like to know if there are any conflicting issues with any of the above gear when it comes time to getting the engine actually built? I know the Step 2 Vcam requires pistons with the valve recesses, but is there any issue mating both the Vcam system and the Tomei pistons with the valve recesses all together with the oversized Ferrea valves? If anyone could give me a straight answer on this or point me in the right direction I’d truly appreciate it. I’ve done a boatload of reading but haven’t come up with a conclusive answer as of yet unfortunately. Cheers, have a rad day!

Gday guys, few bits and pieces up for sale all to suit R32 GTR or GTR’s in general. 1- ID1050X injectors, brand new in box. $900ono 2- Tomei valve springs and retainers, brand new in box $750 3- A pair of Garrett GT2860 (-7’s), brand new in box. $2000 4- Nismo intercooler piping to suit R32 GTR, brand new in box. $900 All items located Brissie, happy to deliver if local and post if outside the area, and of course all prices are negotiable.

Gday guys, I know it's a long shot judging by how hard it's been to try to find a pair so far but I'm chasing the rear speaker grills for my 32GTR. If anyone has a pair sitting around gathering dust somewhere I'm more than happy to pay for them plus postage to Brissie. Thanks!

Buuuummmmp

Hey Raffy, yeah I got your message, it's just still a bit too difficult for my liking sorry. Time is a big thing with me, as I work atleast 5 days a week, and generally do cashies with mechanical repairs on cars or electrical work on homes for many of the blokes here on base on that spare day. Plus I think I have -(negative)0.934 days leave or something up my sleeve, so I can't even get any time off till Christmas, where in I have to go back home (Queensland), so I just can't find it feasible to work around those constraints sorry. For everyone else though..... But, in breaking news, BUMP

Just came back to HMAS Where-hope-goes-to-die-a-slow-and-painful-death, so I thought bump it all the way back up again.

Swoopdown - Kinda the same when it comes to high end cars, I guess it's just bragging rights at the end of the day. But unlike cars, when it comes to supersports (even in standard trim), it all comes down to the skill of the rider, very rarely the bike itself. I still am quite baffled why they even make bikes like these, I know for a fact I could lose my license for a long time just giving her a go in first gear alone, let alone the top speed I have reached on her. EAT26 - Love the GTR, mate. Absolutely love it, everything that I would be looking for in a GTR. But the problem is the distance between us still, and I would be afraid to ask how much cash you would want thrown your way. I have a budget of $12000 - $15000 on top of the bikes value, and I get the general feeling I would be a little short on what you want. Why is it everyone that has actually sent me an offer with something I want lives in the state where I used to live only a year ago. The military really does suck sometimes... RAFFY - Nice example of a 33 GTST mate. Looks clean for what you have done to it. I have owned 9 bikes in my life so far, and this has been one of the most reliable, balls-to-the-wall bikes I have ever owned. Gets a lot of attention from everyone on base here and cruising around, yet I have only ever been pulled up once for a RBT. Definately beats the SWAT teams I had to dodge everytime I took my old Skyline out for a spin.

Up.

geraus, nice cars bro. I had a S1 R33 GTs-T pretty much the same as the silver one, except black with a plazaman intake, kazaa 2 way diff and a GT-35r, and yours kinda reminds me off my old one. Except I think I'd have a lot less trouble getting a RWC with mine . I don't know if the R1 is what you would be looking for at the end of the day though man. Compared to a 250 Ninja, it would be like upgrading your Skyline to a McLaren F1, and please don't think thats an overstatement. It is a stupid, scary bike, that shouldn't have been made, let alone doing the little things I have done to make it even faster.

Up!

Thursday night Bumpage

FS Price/Amount $9500 State VIC Short Description for title? 2007 R1 50th Ann Edition Currently Registered? Yes Transmission? MANUAL REGO/VIN Number? ZK 549 Contact Info Other than this Forum? [email protected] Description Hey guys, Up for grabs is the aforementioned girl, one of my most favourite bikes I have had the pleasure of owning. I'm posting out of this base very soon, and as much as I love this bike I don't believe it to be a viable future option for me anymore, plus the car scene down south is a lot better then where I am going. ITEM: 2006 Yamaha YZF-R1 CONDITION: Very Good REASON FOR SELLING: Post Out of Navy Base Get back into the 4 Wheeled Scene PRICE AND PRICE CONDITIONS: $9500 Negotiable OR Swaps for something of interest with cash your way. EXTRA INFO: Righto, start from the front to the rear, hey? Brand new front pads. Brand new Michi front tyre. Braided brake lines f/r (yellow to suit bike). Pazzo adjustible levers. 12000km service about 150kms ago. New Michi rear tyre (about 600kms ago). Rear pads about 600 kms ago. Power Commander Ver.III. Yoshi Half Pipes. Fender Eliminator. Have owners manual and original pipes back home (in Townsville). LOCATION: HMAS Cerberus/Frankston/About 1 hour south of Melbourne CONTACT: John Gallagher, either on (and in this order, too) PM here [email protected] (yeah, sorry, we were all young once) I bought this bike about 2 years 8 months ago with just under 9000 km's on her. In the time I've had her about another 4000 have been slapt on, so please don't think this has been a daily thrasher. She has only been ridden on sunny weekends and never as a 'track weapon'. It would be stupid to say that I have never opened her up, it is a sports bike, but it would be all I am against to say she is thrashed. If I can add anything else, don't be shy and ask away. Am after a reasonably quick sale, so price is negotiable, just don't be a lowballer. Am looking to give her a good home. John ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** REGARDING SWAPS - A car of interest would be a later model 180SX, or more preferable, a R32 GTR/Nice 34GT-T. Car would preferably come with a RWC, and would be better if it was a more local car (ie - VIC). Please, no 'Sik R33 that I raced my cuz in, brah, I totally smashed him!' type requests, I have allready owned a modded R33 GTS-t, and do not wish to own another one. Anyway, if you have something up for offer, send me a message and I will surely check it out. I have a good bit of cash on the side if something nice comes up. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I was out of commission for a week there, sorry guys. its always good fun when a family member is stricken down with a bad diesease. PM's sent to you two. Thanks, John

Thats awesome for such a few simple mods, must be very happy man.

Good luck with your L's champ, make sure you do A LOT of riding round to get aquainted with the road, and most of the idiot cagers out there. Also agree with the pipes, dad had his left leg broken when an old bloke ran him off the road doing a lane change, thats why the first mod i had done to the R1 was the twin yoshi's. Neighbours hate me when she is started in the morning now tho...

same as up here in NQ, my dad uses E10 in hos ford, and I have duely noticed that variances in the grade of that petrol from a large band of fuel stations, seems to be less notice when it comes to that type...

saw a similer 33gtr buzzing around down south, but I believe it was a respray, not the jit, but still looked hoooot.

Gday guys. As the topic title reads, I require a standard R33 Airbox, and I need it yesterday. I will pay whatever it is you want (to a degree, ofcourse....) and any and all postage costs. Cheers everyone, John

Mate, i'm very interested (sent ya a pm regarding it.....) but would i be able to request something -when- i do go along with the plan? if i could, i would like extra material so i could do the material around my grab handles and centre console lid. how much extra would this be. i just want to do the job properly and completely on the first go. any choice on the stitches? preferebly i would like the stitching to be a different colour to the seat simply to add a little contrast. sorry im a little picky, as i said, just want everything to be proper on the first go. regards, -johnno-
