Ok not much of an update but meh.

In order to be a hekitc drifter you need to be part of a heckitc group of friends. So i got some stickers made up, purely for heckitc reasons. It fairly self explanatory.

Hopefully will have the front seal, water pump and timing belt done in the next few weeks. Also got to pick up a few small things, order some sway bars and keep saving for re-spray!

once again, thanks for the comments! I really need to stop taking pics with pov phone camera. might take some nicer ones tomorrow. Not to sure where to mount the number plate, was thinking about passenger side above the vent?

Damn you your cars looking good, Making me want to spend money on mine. Which I'm trying not to do atm, apart from the essentials. Would like to know how much your respray costs when you get it done, as I'm looking at getting mine resprayed in bayside blue again, as the paint could be a bit better.

Paid the deposit on the 25 last night, should pick it up in a week. 75,000kms, motor is clean as. Comes with everything. Loom, ecu, afm, stock cooler and piping. cant wait! Keep your lids peeled back for updates!

    • Speaking of diverting threads, my second ever NISMO purchase…. I think they look pretty classy and just wanted to share 😅   PS: 1st was the oil drain plug 😂  
    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
