its a Tommy front but thats it (type M sides an stealth/drift wing)....cars stock bar front mount, bit of boost, an exhaust (power wise anyway), goes well!, an it wasnt hit in a carpark, thats one of 3 i know of stories going round. story he told me was kinda his fault, but not gonna put the story up here for certain reasons.

Not in a carpark, it was parked on a side street. That's the story I heard directly from him, anyhoo. Saw him tonight and he said it's running stock boost, 7psi. Is this possible with full exhaust and pod?

LOL, I've seen this dude already about 3 times last week around the waterfront and coming out of the eastern beach carpark!  

Seriously, every time I go into town, day or night, he is always there cruising around or up at Shagga's (not that I have a problem with that).

Any Geelong people up for a Great Ocean Road cruise to Apollo Bay in about a month or two's time?

yeah i heard that story directly from him too, until i saw the car an asked what the "real" story was cause unless a telephone pole jumped off the sidewalk an smashed into the back of his car at about 50-60km/h on its own.....no car made that dent....so then he "directly" told me the supposed real story....so who knows, but by the looks of the back of the car.....wasnt no "I came back an it was like that" hit in sidestreet.

an yeah, for sure, always up for a cruise :D could cruise down the bay on a saturday, stay the night there....get on the piss....an come back the back way to Geelong on Sunday (through forrest, cape otway way).?

I guess that doesn't really surprise me, the way I've seen him ripping it up lately...

Yeah, I'm keen for a GOR run in a few weeks before it's too hot for my standard cooler. I need to wait until I get my replacement diff installed, I've been on a few GOR runs in the last 3 weeks which has made my LSD fubar!!

Depending on how many people and who comes, we should be able to stay at my grandparents holiday house in Aireys Inlet. Have a few drinks and it should be a good night!!

I'm planning on going down soon as one of my friends with a R33 is moving to Canada for a few years and we want to go for one last burn.

So if anyone in Geelong wants a silver R33 (shameless plug!), PM me.

It has the following mods:

Full kit (Type M kit I think)

Buddy Club P1 17" wheels

Tein adjustable coilovers

Aftermarket diff (unsure of exactly what it is)

Full Kakimoto exhaust

M's K&N pod

Sparco fixed bucket seat

Momo race steering wheel (Jap version, a bit smaller than the one available over here)

Very good condition...

PM me for more info!

Kinda off topic, but im pretty sure most of you would of heard by now anyways:

3 Cars last night where involved in a collision last night at "Top Carpark" AKA "Shaggaz"

Apparently 1 White 180SX (LTZ**N) was doing a burnout/donuts when he lost control of his car (At a very fast speed) and collected a parked silver lancer, and a white VP commodore. (VP**T1)

this all resulted in the driver of the 180SX having to be cut out of his written off car. Noone was "Seriously injured".

Something to think about, its amazing how quickly & easily things can go REALLY BAD.

A simple burntout wiped 3 cars, driver will never be insured again, more than likely wont walk the same again... (If he wasnt insured he will be in a "world of shit" in the next few years of his life)

PS: i didnt see this all happen, I got the info off a bystanding Fire officer. and I just saw the aftermath off the 3 cars involved.

Guys just a quick sidenote, the weather is going to get warmer in the coming months, topcarpark & easterns are going to be VERY busy at all hours of the night. If your gona cruise or do burnouts, be carefull, look around, and watch other peoples cars.

(I wouldnt be to worried about actually stacking into someone, but i allmost put a Fu(khead into st.johns who was doing donuts around 4 months ago in a VN SS, and sprayed my car with rocks/rubber after my car was just resprayed, so have some consideration for other peoples rides)

Fv(k! how fast was this co(k going to have to be cut out of the car!

I'm surprised that the owners of the other damaged cars didn't "assist" him out of the car and into a coma.....

Its noobs like this that give us all a bad name. :zap:

SLK-GTR: I have only seen 1 GTR in Geelong, and its a Purple R33. I think he lives in Grovedale. All factory. They are pretty rare around geelong. :D

Interloper: Yeh, apparently he was moving along at a fair pace. But i do burnouts and stuff in my car, but i also know the limits of my car. Not to mention 3 advanced/defensive driving courses, CAMS & 13 track events. :D

Fark, that's no good!! I hope he learnt his lesson! Too many tools that can't drive doing burnouts up there these days. The surface is that farked up there I wouldn't even consider doing doughies or a big burnout.

For that reason I don't like parking my car there on a Friday/Saturday night. The worst time to go up there is when it's raining, all the hero's in their Commonwhores come out and "try" and do burnouts, nearly collecting parked cars in the process.

SLK-GTR: I have only seen 1 GTR in Geelong, and its a Purple R33. I think he lives in Grovedale. All factory. They are pretty rare around geelong. :D

Yep, he does live in Grovedale. There is another guy in Grovedale who got a R33 GTR a few months back. I forget what colour it is, maybe white? He recently had to get the front end repaired as someone hit him in the Waurn Ponds carpark. He told me a new aftermarket cooler was cheaper than a genuine brand new GTR cooler from Nissan!!

Don't see it around much as the dude has an old beaten up maroon XD V8 Falcon as his daily driver.

there was a dude who had a grey 32 GTR parked outside his house on the esplanade (sp?) opposite that park where that japanese koaki restaurant place is. I saw it there for about 3 weeks but i havn't seen it since - it looked like a fresh import as it didn't have plates on it yet not to mention jap auction writing on the windscreen. :D

Yeah, that's just around the corner from my house. Haven't seen it lately though. It didn't look like it was in the best condition though, looked pretty stock too.

apparently with the accident up top carpark, it hit the VP, which hit a silver lancer, which hit a VH como wagon. Also heard there was a guy stepping out of the grey lancer as the VP was slammed into it an broke his leg in 2 places? and that the 180 wasnt even registered let-a-lone insured.....

poor guys (parked innocently).... I've seen some people do some pretty stupid things up there trying to show off......cops are really gonna crack down now....

an as far as GTR's go, the silver 32 GTR is owned by one of the guys at "geelong tune up specialists" from memory, and the purple 33 GTR is owned by Raaj, but i think he's selling it due to a .3 coming along soon. There the only GTR's i've seen more than once round here....

Hey everyone, was waiting to finally see a thread about us in geelong. I know a couple of you guys on here (absent from X1k) and have seen most of u round. My car was a stockish white r33 gtst until the girl i was partying with one night decided that it would be a good idea to try and smash into something with it... not a happy girl. So while i was innocently sitting at the party my car was smashing into a jeep wrangler. So i had no idea where she went, called the cops to try and find her. My parents call me and tell me my car had bin involved in a hit and run... Anyway the car was amazing not too bad afterwards, i drove it home from the police station after that caught the second person to steal it driving it around. So for the next month or two i drove round with a taped together 33 which is great if you wanna get stared at by everyone. Insurance was gonna be 2k and stuff up my ratings for life so i just started saving. After my friend reversed it off the road at about 120ks and crumpled the rear bar and front again it was time to get things fixed. So i order a kit off a guy on the forum and chucked it on, (trust front bar, 400R sideskirts, trial rear bar) and had that on in its fabulous shade of grey. A month or so ago i managed to get the thing finally painted. Spending ages trying to find a colour that suits it i chose 350Z blue.

Before (damaged) - http://www.satelliteinternet.org/skyline/DVC00050.JPG side

- http://www.satelliteinternet.org/skyline/DVC00052.JPG front

After - (shiny) - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost...500/ppuser/3607

I should be able to come, hope to see you all soon.

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      Short shifter r34

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Short shifter r34

      By drifter17a · Posted

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
