Hi all,time to join the converted and introduce myself. My name is Chris and I'm currently playing with Series 1 R33..............auto. yeah yeah I know, f'can auto sh....boxes are for women and grandpa's (i'm 37, nearly there) but I came on this sitting in a guys shed wasting away and swapped it for a Hilux which I fixed up after I swapped that with a 90' model Hiace (1st of the last model shape with 2.4 2RZ) that had a hi-flowed RB25DET turbo running dedicated LPG on a blow through the mixer system! Was a shit load of fun and great to play with V8's and other performance cars(to a realistic point of course) and to stay with them for a bit or overtake family cars going up hill at 140km/p/h, the look on the drivers faces was priceless! Been a bit of lull on the fast car thing with racing motoX then saving for a house but before that there were a couple of atmo RX2's (stocko 13B, bridgeport 12A's and a 13BPP) still have series 5 RX7 13B turbo motor and box sitting in the shed waiting for something to light a fire under my arse(been tink'n lately 180 or 200SX convert), number of 1st gen civics(did my apprenticeship at Honda car and motorcyle dealership) and old 6cyl holdens from back in my early days. Been out of the industry for a bit in mining but my main speciality is motox bikes.

Anyhoo, yeah the slush box 33, (is it to late to change login?) been playing with that for a bit getting it sorted and since I found this place have read a heap of good articles as a guest and fixed the dredded missfire and worked out why my window wouldn't go back up( will have to write A DIY cause mine was different to everything I read) and have now started wanting more!!!!!$$$$$ Got some issues with leaning out in the top end when standard (bar 3in, FMIC, 10psi) so I went Z32AFM and AFR but now WOT is heaps better and runs sweet no ping'n but it's dead in the middle and hates the cold. I know the PFC and dyno will sort it but I still got a wife! Enuf of the BS, hope you guys can help with the lean out in that forum. cheers :D (1st time I used a pacman)

    • I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!  
    • Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.
    • I just replaced the god awful, sagging, crunchy bonnet insulation. It's something nobody but I see but it's been at me for a while.
    • yeah the south island is stunning, the wifes family is from the west coast down there so we were down there for christmas.   a high 10 would be a stretch but hilarious if it happened. fourth gear is its party gear, i don't have traction to throw more at it at lower speeds. I've found passengers don't think its that fast, i think it's because it has a digital dash so they can't see the needle move so they have no sense of speed
    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
