Silver 34 GT on TE37 SLs in woy woy today

Thats my mate matt. Its his new car bought from a guy in Queensland last week (hence the QLD plates on it still).

Spotted a white R33 gts-t with a shit bodykit in gosford this arvo, and a sweet looking gunmetal 32 GTR northbound on the freeway just past twin servos

Spotted a white R32 (not sure if gts/t/r? too dark to see) a bit over an hour ago, turning from hugh st onto the pacific highway at merewether. Also saw about 4 different silver R33's in the bottom level carpark of charlestown square between 6 and 7pm - one of them had a dark boot lid and a really nice exhaust note :)

Got my license back on Monday after a pretty lengthy time off.. 8 months in total, was very happy to finally win my appeal in the district court.

Anyway, also got my epa noise test passed (got a notice in the mail not long after loosing my license) Had to get a standard catback and put the standard cat converter back on. Also needed to get a airbox as i bought it with a pod, and remove the boost controller. I was lucky to get away with the dump pipe i had. After it finally passed (86db) i needed to get a pink slip. The bloke at this joint was a pain in the arse. I honestly didnt notice the horn not working or the number plate light out, so fair enough... but they were fixed at the auto electrician (which is part of the business) so i was expecting a pass. Then the bloke notices the key comes out of the ignition while running... fail. Lucky i got one from the toy shop and my old boy fitted it and had it passed the next day.

Seriously though, i was really surprised that he knocked it back over that, i have had them let me off with stuff like that numerous times. Will not go back to that painful prick.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.. but im all back on the road now! :)

Not as yet. Well they are in the car, only sitting on the back seat though. Trying to source another subframe as thanks to low ride height, a tow ball and tongue on the road and 90km/h, Mine is a bit farked.

How did you go with yours?

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
