Anyone remember this?

Well, it's been 6months, and I finally have my license back.

33 is long gone, but I'll be thrilled just to get out in my parent's Terios.

Gonna test drive a few cars I've had my eye on this week too.

What cars do you have in mind? :)

Well, since my P's were reset and I'm forced to drive an NA for 3 more years (thankfully no red plates) I'm prob going to get an NA Supra, or NA R34 Coupe.

Gonna drive like a grandma too, not that you have much choice in an NA.

nice work :) supras are that little bit more expensive but nice cars

hey n/a's arn't that bad! i suprised a few people this weekend at deca with mine, too bad i was still the only n/a there hehe :D need to get some more n/a's at the events next time cmon beau and kieran :)

i want a r32 N/A . . .. but are hard to find for a decent price

Woo! Got it back.

Took the Terios out for a spin, but that car really such a let down. I have no intention to do any sort of spirited driving, but the Terios has the most sensitive clutch, has absolutely no guts and feels like it'll tip over if you take a corner at more than 20kph.

Still, it's good to be out and about again.

would someone really bother upping the engine in a 32 if you were not going to put a turbo in? I know it would be an improvement but if you were spending that much to upgrade your cars output I would imagine a turbo would be done too??

Late model 32 GTS's came with a 25 in it from the factory. And you'd be surprised the difference, given the weight of a 32, and the extra 80nm of Torque from the 25 over the 20.

I'd be tempted to spend the extra coin and go for a manual NA supra, the 3L in it is still deceptively quick.

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
