2FST4U.R33

Crows better finish 5th or 6th and get a home final. didn't miss a game last year and this weekend was the first 1 i got 2

nooo iwnt 2 villis 2nite and didn't knw who any of u guys were,i saw 2 stageas and a 33, but no one was near them. I was in the Blue r33 with HID's

I was thinking mabey a cruise on the way down to the meeting could be a good idea, leave villis about 12:30ish perfect time to grab a pie.

villis meet sounds good as i'm keen on going to protest but don't really know anyone from SAU as i've been slack and haven't gone on any cruises yet, wat time were you thinking of meeting at villis Krishy?

sorry i missed it was really looking forward to it but i've been 2 adelaide too much lately (last 4 weeks and will also be there next weekend) + i had a 25th b/day on friday and sat nites. Seemed like a great day tho, will be going to the next SAU:SA event thats on a sat or sun, keen to put some faces to the names of the people on here.

what r u implying about whyalla? sorry to hear about ur car, and ouch $3K excess. Hope you get a few extra bits fixed/upgraded to cover the $3K.

spacers still for sale? if so are they 4X114.3 or 5x114.3? if 4x114.3 plz pm me

any damage, any parts need replacing, any problems, anything i should know about, etc?

petition is a great idea, will send email at uni 2day or 2moro

yeah i'll be there one of my mates is in it.

can't make it to the protest don't finish work till 3:30, plus a 5hr drive from whyalla. might b able to make the public meeting tho, see how i go.

r33 GTS + cash ur way?

any chance of checking it out this weekend? mabey villis on sat nite/sun arvo?

i used som liquid weld stuff last nite, yet to fill it with oil, will only be a temp fix getting a mate to weld it up on the 1st August. hopefully it holds till then. The stuff i brought is ment to be good to 800 degrees and is designed for use in and around engines, so i should be OK for a gearbox.

yeah tried repco, they don't stock any, nor do super cheap auto. Going to try Spencer Gulf Bearings 2nite

very nice i also managed to get my R33 from a guy who was moving back to Japan, go to love the bargaining power you have.

well at least you hope so.... just take back streets and baby the car as much as you can, short shifting, etc. if you just go straight to the closest mechanic i think most cops should be OK about it. I wouldn't do it if you cat isn't there tho as that could result in a very large fine. Also try RAA or a similar place that comes to you, just to get the bolts out/off and put a new system on yourself.

I think i might try some of the Devcon Steel Putty until i get it welded up, going to Rapid steel Fabrication 2nite to see how much they want to do it. Was Talking to one of my mates about it and he was saying you really need to weld it up from the inside, it that really nesecary? Dose any1 know where i can get a new (or good second hand) plug from, i was thinking NissWreck or Adelaide Jap.

I think i remember seeing somewhere that he was going to start a new thread in about a week or so for orders

only discovered the crack once i had changed the oil. i think i may have put the crack in there when i took the plug out. the only place in Whyalla that might weld it up say that they will probably want me to remove the gearbox, does anyone know anywhere in adelaide that will do it with the gearbox still in the car?

yeah the problem is it that the gearbox is leaking. That was how i found the bolt when i went to change the gearbox oil, it was definately over tightened i tried for about 10mins with a breaker bar before it came loose, i think i manged to pull every muscle in my arms, back and neck getting it undone, as well as burning myself countless times on the exaust.

Hey guys & girls, cracked my gearbox near the drain plug and was talking to a mate at work today who said there was some liquid stuff that acted like a weld and was good to a few hundred degrees, any ideas what it is/what it's called? is it any good? where can i get it?I was thinking of getting the crack welded up, not sure what would be a better fix. a pic of the damage i also found this tooth when i changed the oil in the gearbox, is it a syncro tooth or a gear tooth? I assume it has been there a while as i haven't noticed any difference in the gears since i have owned the car. Thanks Luke

thanks

Hey, i couldn't find any info about what the housing of a R33 GTS skyline gearbox (manual) is made out of. The reason i ask is that i have about a 2cm crack next to the drain plug in mine and i need to get it fixed as oil is leaking out of it. Thanks Luke

how long do u think it will be b4 you get a sample made? next time i'm in adelaide will be the 24th to 26th, will it be ready by then? keen on a white and black/navy blue one
