A dark blue R33 was attempted to be stolen between 7pm - 8pm in Bathurst St car park, Launceston, tonight. If anyone in the area saw anything sus, please contact the police. Apparently another car was successfully stolen around the same time, but the cops didn't know what sort of car.

In the meantime, if anyone has or knows of an ignition barrel to suit for sale locally, please call me (Jess) on 0408 486 809. The poor guy's from Devonport and might have to get his car towed all the way home if we cant get it fixed.

You will need to pull all the steering column surround off and get access to the switch on the back of the barrel.

There will more than likely be 2 shear bolts holding the barrel assembly onto the steering column shaft, (never done a 33 so im only guessing) you need to use a sharp centre punch and hammer and tap the bolts undone, this will get the barrel assembly off and the steering lock off.

Then just unscrew the switch off the barrel, the switch should have a little notch which you can turn with a screwdriver to start the car.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
