I spotted a VERY shiny dark red 33 with big FMIC on Caswell? drive this afternoon and got a wave! I tried to give one back but was a little slow getting the window down (dark tints). You Canberra people are actually friendly!

Also saw a nice white 32 4 door way down near Tharwa which was nice. It's the first 32 4 door I've seen in the flesh.

There's just too many in Sydney and you get barred by heaps of people, the smaller the place the better I think.

Spotted a wine red R33 GTSt in Gordon today pulled over looking at his rear wheel... we were the guys who asked if you needed help (if ur on the forums). Had a GTR kit, and a GTR badge in the grill.

Also spotted a white R33 GTST driving to Woden on Hindmarsh Drive (I think?) while I was going to Pedders at about 9:00 this morning... on that note, I have a ****ed upper ball joint so cars off the road again till I can get it fixed, doh :(

And then I saw a black 33 who also waved but I was too slow. The story of my life. The odds in Canberra are pretty good it seems.

Also, an orange Datto 1600 (my arse it was a 1600!) absolutely blew me away on Ginninderra Drive today. I might as well have been driving a Lada Niva.

that datto had a go at me last weekend as well coming around parliament house onto adelaide avenue. he waved me on to give me a go, but i just sat on my 80. he was in the bus lane too. the bastard was doing about 80-90 then did a 2 wheel burnout fishtailing it, that thing must have a fair bit of stick

    • Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.    
    • Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out 
    • I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.
    • Can't help it, its an illness. 
    • Yep, agree with all of the above added on too. I just love the age old "what boost were you running?" Question without getting any other surrounding data. IE, may have ran 20psi, and lived for 12 years, but it was an 80 year old granma driving it to Bingo once a week and never took it over 2500rpm.
