mac33r, go down the pacific highway towards north sydney. turn right @ the miller st lights. turn left @ the 2nd set of lights. turn right @ the next roundabout. turn left @ the next roundabout and its just on ur left as u go under the harbour bridge

Another great dinner guys, thanks to all who showed up. Those highway patrol cops deserved some recognition - top blokes, especially knowledgable on their GTR's and of course their ownage of Tosh (Twice) was priceless.

I started to PM everyone the link, but now I can't be bothered. :)

Anyways, if anyone didn't realise, there are a couple of galleries on my webspace:

Nick, let Johno know there's some pics of his car there (if you haven't already).

Cheers,

Cheers. We'll have to scope some more areas to take photos, maybe get some sunset beachside ones (as I was talking to Tosh about earlier today).

Maybe an industrial area at twilight? Somewhere with stairs so shots can be taken from above would be hella sweet...

Anyway, if you've got any ideas let me know. :)

    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
    • It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
