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?

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
