Well I came, I picked it up and I am back in Tassie.

Lets just say it was a pretty interesting day in good old Melbourne.

I have to agree with you guys about St Kilda and the beach etc...

Spose the fact it was in the 30's helped a lot as well :thumbsup:

Wont say too much about the car, it was damaged in transit and I was never told, bits were stolen and then compliance cost me more than I was quoted by a fairly big margin. What do ya do when your in a foreign city by yourself with no transport or friends?? Not mentioning the name of the business as I dont want any warnings etc and they are yet to be contacted in regards further developments.

Headed back towards the Spirit, missed a turn, went round the block trying to find somewhere to grab some lunch and good old party lights behind wanting me to pull over.

Crime cops bored with nothing to do as the drug dealers don't get up till 3pm, he told me, so they pulled me over cause I didn't have any plates. Checked the permit stuck to the screen, took it and my licence and spent 15mins in the car on the radio while his partner inspected pretty much every bit of my car while at the same time telling me he couldnt give a rats about cars they dont interest him. He actually thought I was joking when I told him that yes it is a genuine 32 GTR not just a badged up Skyline as he thought it was. His partner finally finished whatever the hell it was he was doing and proceeded to read me the rules and regs off the permit and explain what I could and couldnt do even though I had just copped that lecture from his mate who knows nothing about cars.

So when he finally finished I thanked them for filling in an hour of my otherwise boring day and went and sat outside the gates to the Spirit terminal for about 5 hours till it was finally time to get the hell outta Melbourne.

Off the boat the next morning and straight to Symmons Plains. Passed about 15 different cops out on the hwy and not one of them even looked twice at the filthy GTR with no plates touring in the middle of nowhere.

ahhh.... I know why I live over here. Least the eye candy was worth it.

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
