Saluations

AutoSalon, Sydney wasn't as "ricey" as I thought. I thought that it actually improved since last year, still had heaps of bright cars/mega dollar interiors which most people here aren't into, but it had some nice cars too this year...

autosalon was dissapointing some of the cars wernt even washed ,,,, i was only turnd on by the black 34,,, the carbon bonnets ,, the girls,, and one mettalic black r32 with i thought was the best street car in there,,, but my best enginuity award has to go to the barbie boys quad rotor ,,,, even though the car use to be a stat right off 318is

My experience of the AutoSalon....

$2.20 M4 Toll into Homebush, $10 to park my car, then told It would be an hours wait to get into the showroom at the cost of $18, did a U-turn and went straight back home.

I'll try and make it earlier next year I think.

flirt models rock

:P

same cars as last year

a few try hard skylines there

not a good idea to rev your engine excessively with no load!!

some nice s15s and the same lame rotaries as all years - they never change looks

drug money is still flowing well in NSW

onegod did have nice wheels, best car for me, hmmmmmmm

SGT SX

That metallic black Skyline you are referring to belongs to a friend of mine.

He used to have a Supra which he converted to single turbo and got 300kw at the rear wheels. You may have seen it in a few magazines.

Well, the new car is a R32 GTR which he personally flew to Japan to select.

Amongst the goodies, it has a single turbo conversion (T88). It will hit the tracks soon.

I would expect with over 450hp at the wheels, it should easily run 10's

The plates are carried over from the Supra and are "FLYBYE".

Also on display with this car was another GTR "DARDVL" which was dynoed with 440+kw at the wheels.

That would be Tim, hes succeeded in putting together another sweet car. The 32 looks awesome.

Jerrys Maroon 32 looks good also.

I find it funny and amusing at times and shitty too listening to ppl say, hey those cars are all from drug money bla bla bla

Its a good idea to have facts to back up your statements before you post some shit....

There is your groups who i admit have made their money illegitamately, but the majority havent, have you guys ever heard of bank loans, credit cards, working hard saving money.

A lot of ppl can afford to take out loan and pay them off a well as living comfortably, having a well paid job takes care of that, but its annoying to hear ppl generalising and calling ppl drug dealers just becauase themselves cant get off their asses and build a car for themsellves....

Chill Dude. There just reffering to the ones who u can tell that is where they get their money

But dude thats my point, HOW can you tell???

As the saying goes " never judge a book by its coverr"

I have been called DRug dealer, criminal, thief, you nam it i been called it... WHY you ask?? Because im from MIddle eastern Appearance ( im a lebbo) and i drive around hotted up cars... even though i dont drink, smoke, never takin drugs, never been in trouble with the law(except speeding etc), but hey ppl have the right to call me all these names beacuse i decide to spend my money on cars.......

Thats my point, how can you tell???

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
