so has the cef passed vic roads inspection :wave: ?

Just sent you a msg :D

I made the trek to VicRoads on Tuesday with RWC (which got wet!) and was super nervous because I was sure I was going to get rejected.

First thing, they booked my appointment for the wrong office but a guy helped me out and did the inspection. After much discussion about compliance plates (or lack there of) I had the plates in my hand and the BIGGEST smile on my face!

So good to be able to drive legally on the road again. But the car needs a bit of work as its been sitting around.

Going to fit a manual boost controller and crank the boost up as well as generally clean the car up, fit my Defi sensors etc.

Will be up for a cruise soon VIC peoples! I'll take some pics over the w/e too :P

Ryan.

Have you given a RWC a go?

I took that chance and paid the $80 to see if they would pick up the highmount and it worked out for the best.

I'll have to have another look at ur damage tomoz and see how obvious it is ;)

remember.... i told u i failed my last roady, but it seemed like my guy was the tightest? then again i thought all other rwc guys wud be the same so i gave up

depending on how bad the damage is on the rails they will pass, also depends where you take it.

thing is no one feels generous enuff to clue me in on the non tight ones around ( not even talking about the 'good' ones)

now back on topic.

how laggy is that high mount of yours? full boost at wat rpm?

Did 450k's on the weekend (most of it thrashing hahaha) and remembered how much I used to spend on fuel :D

Full boost comes on by about 4-4.5k and pulls hard to redline..also found out that I doesn't seem to have a rev limiter it just kind of bumps around between 8 and 9k. Will have to get onto fixing that.

I also can't get my boost controller to boost above 1bar so I am going to get one of those cheap bleed valves and turn it up to 1.2bar and get it dynoed. Hopefully with a bit more boost the turbo will come on a bit sooner. Still got 1 tiny exhaust leak to fix too and timing adjustment could also help but all in good time.

Felt super solid sliding it now that I'm getting used to the setup but need to tighten handbrake asap.

Will post pics tonight :blink:

As promised...

Sorry for the weird lighting, I think my lens may have been fogged up..but you get the idea :verymad: Looks pretty much the same but has more matte black action haha.

I bought an SR20 180 passenger seat to go in it on the weekend as the Recaro copy was buggered and no doubt Dan_J wants his standard one back and getting guards rolled shortly as it is getting some mean scrub.

I also made some future plans today which consist of z32, injectors, 1.2 bar and a smooth remap, but all in due course. Gotta pay off the bloody RWC first!

lol the piping is still all there, its just matte black now. I kind of had to do something to disguise it to get through RWC and VicRoads inspection so the matte black was used 'liberally'.

I agree the rims could be better but they are lightweight and good size and offset for sliding. +1 to the grill, I just had it on there for RWC but probably going to replace it with Autobarn black mesh for air flow.

The front bar was actually in 2 pieces at xmas time 2007 but its had a pretty good repair job just flares a little at the sides which cable ties fixed right up! :down:

Who cars if hes wheels or engine bay looks lame or gay - at least he uses the car and will drive the ring off it not being scared about a little dust or that some other guys are gonna hate his car cos of his wheels. U gonna throw ur GTS round and use all the power u make? Or just baby it to work and back and do a quiet track day like a pansy?

Haha big difference between sliding a car that actually cost me $2200 FOB and $80k around a dusty ol drift track :)

I always bag out the wheels since the ones that were on it were so awesome :D

But I had my GTS at a skid pan day with only 280km on the clock! And then again at 1200km and again at 3500km. It sits now with 5500km on the clock. It just hurts sliding on $1500 worth of bridgestone rubber ;)

      ['96 r33 GTST] Need some help gauging how much I should pay for a CD009 transmission kit.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, well, being realistic: RB25DET gearbox (new, from Nissan), A$4k. Good clutch, >A$1k, possibly $2k. So, you're already into the ballpark just with those two things and to stay 5 speed. Someone has borne costs and done work to put the RB bellhousing on the CD009, and there's some other parts included. It seems like a reasonable price to me. It's not as if these things are lying around where you can just pick one up (the whole kit, readyish to go) and/or play off one vendor against another. So the pricing has to seem reasonable to both you and the seller.

      But you can stand next to your strut brace with the bonnet up in the Bunnings car park and people can see it. Can't see dampers.

      Yeah, nah, nothing personal about it. It's a somewhat common pattern for phishing websites. I don't know if they actually take money, but at the very least they are collecting full name + address + credit card details from victims. It's minimum effort, so one can search for parts of the copy on the website and find others. For example there's gemnomads.com, which is a real jewellery business. But there's also a scam .shop version with the very same template that was used to duplicate theskylineshed.

      Yes. For sure. That way you just use the S arms and all is easy. For a streeter anyway.
