Spotted a silver/grey R32 with nismo sticker on windscreen about 8:30 this morning on Haydon Drive, received a wave too! :P

Also spotted a black R34 GTT just a few seconds before and also saw AdamACT33 drive by but don't think he saw me, looked like he was in his own little world. :P

There is real flood of Skylines in Canberra. Dont get me wrong I lerve spotting my fav cars. I just see so damn many they have to be very special now to get my attention.

I'm also wondering why there isn't more organised gatherings, cruises and road trips.

For those of you who have been on a few roadies it's such an awsome sight to see.

Oh and I see a Pod of Whales (several R33's) outside or driving by work every day.

There is a good looking R32 GTR cruising down the Monaro Highway almost every day with a realy nice note to it. ATM I am gawking from my daily driver (ford) and must look like a nutter.

last night i saw a young bloke in a VN/P spinning out in front of me in the wet on a roundabout, scared the shit out of me

I take that on the chin - your absolutely right. *runs away embarrassed*

It's just so humilating going to Jerra without my Line week after week! I feel so bogan in the ford.

Heres a tip......get over it!

Yes your GTR isn't up and running, yes you're currently being raped of money you deserve and yes you drive an old school Ford.........

But we don't give a flying fu** about your car! We care about YOU!!!!

You're someone quite a few of us really care about and you could come on a bloody moped for all we care, as long as you're there, we're happy.

Christ if it was about the cars then i would have been booted from the club 5 months ago in shame, yet i'm still there every week and one of the main members in Canberra and i'm going out on a limb here, but i'd wager if i stopped coming there'd be quite a few people that'd miss me too.

There are a few members that make SAUACT what it is, and you my friend....are one of them.

sin this is only as long as when you turn up you are wearing just a leather biker cap and chaps, and clutching a rose between your teeth. you can grow the thick moustache while you're saving for the moped.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
