You're very kind Liam. Hope you had a great day! I rolled up at about 11 thinking that all the tarmac spots would surely be taken. Our family only wished to stay for a couple of hours because Maria wa

I was driving into city for training last night and while I was on victoria road way before getting onto Anzac bridge, this marone R33 comes up besides mine.

Anyhow, it looked pretty good (I didn't realise skylines had such road presence)..Anyway, he took off and a while later, after I crossed Anzac bridge and took the second exit and just turned onto harris st. there he was too! so we were driving down harris street - him in his marone R33 and me in my black R33 line abreast like a motorcade or something. I thought it was pretty mad! People are looking and we get to the lights, then I think he was expecting me to take off and I was thinking the same about him, and we both ended up moving off heaps slow :) anyway that was fun

cheers

I spotted a "Shonen replica" today too, outside my building in Parra, about 10am. He was heading up Charles St, towards Philip St and the RiverCat terminal. Black R-34 with white wheels, nice exhaust note.

Didn't get to catch the plates as I was too far away at the time.

MSP i think you are the only R33 owner i hear that waves to R32's.B)

I see atleast 5-10 R33's a day in my 29kms of driving and i have never seen a wave yet.

I don't think most R33(Taxi) owners know that an R32 is a skyline.

haha, the only waves I have gotten from ppl in 33's have been a forced wave cos I waved first.. other wise they just give blank stares as they pass by

the thing is that a lot of randoms buy r33s too that arent on the forums/dontcare/uninterested in other skylines..

they just buy it coz 'yee itz a skyline maens and it goes fast maens'

only the real enthusiasts appreciate skylines enough to acknowledge other skylines on the road :)

ps: R32s own.. that is all!

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
