Actually. I saw the two Matrix films the other weekend and I must say I was almost going to ask for a refund because I could hardly see the picture. The brightness was way to low! Might be an idea to park reasonably close.

So did we... that's why we always park around about 4 rows from the screen.

Btw, for those who don't know... I will be in my white R33 sedan 4 door... you can't miss it!

Here is a hint... apply some yellow boxed "Rain-x" windscreen polish... incase it rains so you minimise the use of your wipers... amazing stuff so get some... they are available from any motor accessory stores for around 8-9 bux.

Cheers and see ya there!

Sorry guys I wont be able to go on Friday, but I did see the movie on Wednesday night. Enjoyed it, but it wont win any awards for its script (but who cares)

There is a nice change to the plot in this one. If you didnt see the first movie the plot went:

fast cars, racing, fast cars Vin Diesel, fast cars racing, Vin Diesel.

This movie has a very differnen plot:

fast cars, racing, fast cars girls, fast cars racing, girls.

Still dont understand why they would play with Mitsubishi's when they started off with a hot R34? but then I didnt understand why they used Civics in the first movie.

Enjoy.

hrm looks like the weather might take a turn for the worst .... hail etc .... I'm thinking of bailing (like a few others have mentioned to me already).

What... hail... sheit! Oh well... who cares... we will go and watch it again the next weekend! :bahaha:

Da Black R32 and Red TT 300zx will be coming. Will cruise around there about 6.30. If it's shit weather, we were thinking of going to the cinema..?? it will be warm there anyway..mayb after that, go for a cruise..

remember, this is the unbeaten 300zx goin?!!! come on guys..

Power hasn't been checked out! All i know is that it has been chipped, and has HKS cold air induction..i doubt the phat bodykit and 17's have anything 2 do with the power! ha.

It's actually for sale, so it won't be around for much longer in our hands!

It's in the trading post. If you want pics, tell me your e-mail..

Crazy for stock internals - would certainly make a few people sit up and take notice I reckon - says alot for using head gaskets to decompress. Glad I will be doing this when the new turbo is on.

I didnt put my car up - as since the cold wheather has set in she tends to ping a bit on load at around 4.5k, so I was scared:)

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
