I wish my apartment had at least a covered car port.

I've had my 33 in the elements since I got it a few weeks back...

...and at work there is nothing.

It's not so much the rain as the UV. So I feel bad about it.

My car is in pretty good nick compared to many of the 33's I seen about and I would like to keep it that way.

I've got a car cover now but feel (and look) like a douche putting it on and off and it's a lot of effort. :)

Bad things happen indoors!!

Haha nah, I have a covered carport, and a garage thats apparently big enough for one car, I doubt it and its always been full of too much shit to throw the Ceffy in there. I use my car as storage, and the shed to store shit like bumpers, dash, fender, that are all out at the moment. More concerened about people stealing my shit, not exactly easy to find some things. Would be nice to be able to use the garage, means less time finding tools and work light each night, packing up, means Im not under pressure to have shit back on the car before I go to bed either, I can just lock the door and know its safe.

I'd guess putting a cover on it would make it more appealing to people wanting to boost shit?

Ha ha that's true.

I remember a few years ago a buddy of mine - who owned an Aston martin and a e-type jag - went away to work overseas and on returning found a shelf in his garage had collapsed and put some dents in the jag. lol

Anyway my parking area is secure, its not like it's on the street.

We've got a big f**koff shade sail out the back. a double car port won't work on account of the fact we've got 9 cars in the same drive way.

proper garage goes to *gasp* a BA GT! *continues sob story* well, that car belonged to my uncle may he rest in peace, and so sayeth his will that his sister my mother received his house AND car. And, since it hasn't been driven in two months, a deep sadness within compels me to steal it. and drive it. then put it back.

yes mine spends all day every day out in the elements i used to have schmicko paint work now my bonnet has little or no clear left all peeling off..

what ya gonna do

i no shannons wont insure unless its in a garage

maybe by a portable tent thing.. put that up

My car cover blew off last night...quite embarrassing. Now it's secured with two ropes.

The R33 is slightly too big for the medium sized cover and way too small for the large cover. So with the medium sized cover 'cos it's not stretched over the car 100%, a bit of wind will get under it and dislodge it on one end, then the whole thing slides off. :ninja:

Need to get a flat with a car port or buy a proper house with a garage etc.

See lots of bunky looking cars around Perth damaged by UV. Don't want my car being like that.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
