Yes it is. I'll do it, need some moolah :P

I love black carssss

Do mine, but at my house, and for cheap cause I just spent enough money atm :P

Looked like that hurt, although the other guy that caused it seemed fine

So... I'm thinking I had a few drinks tonight.

ended up watching fast and the furious for the first time in many many years.

first off I was surprised just how much I noticed compared to first time, ie crappy parts (mainly sparco) that I would never put on my car.

then I started thinking just how do you end up in the "scene" ie how did you end up getting into jap cars and modifying them, as 10 years ago I was all into US muscle, hell still like it but yeah.

first experience I had with Jap cars, one of the guys I worked with took me out to a MCCR "street race night in his heavy modified MkIV supra.

one thing lead to another and I've spent way too much on playing with cars since...

so what got everyone else into the addiction?

Always kinda had an interest in all sorts of cars as a kid, for some reason Jap cars I remember always drew me in a bit differently, then all that FnF/Hot4's/NFSU(I was what 11-13 gimme a break :P) shit was big and I guess that moulded my thoughts a bit more then it's just grown and grown from around there.

This is why whenever I take people up my mountain run, I drill it into their heads to stick to the left of the road and not take the racing line. Too many cars go half a metre over the line on a tight corner. Sometimes you just can't avoid it though...

Used to be into 4x4's until I was what 11 or 12 when I first saw a car flying past with distinctive taillights - it was a MP 33 GTR. As I grew older with introduction of Autosalon mags and shows, FnF etc, bought first car which was a Patrol with 30ET inside (it hauled real good) thinking I'm still into 4x4's. After I'd sold the Patrol and rest is history.

/csb

I have half of the Street Machine issues ever released...thats over 30 years worth..I think my oldest 1986...

old man had a monaro.. I bought one too but couldn't be f**ked fixing it....I ran into an old friend with a skyline for sale, he let me drive it, i had cash...end story

Wouldn't say I'm addicted...

But I had seen the odd R33 on the road as a kid and always thought they looked cool. Then mates in year 11 properly got me into Jap cars with their talk of Supras and 180s. Then a mate with a Civic on his Ls introduced me to MCCR. Then I saw a 180sx cruising on the road with a CV8 Monaro (they were new at the time) and I was like...I have to have one. Parents said no :(

if your still spending money on a 33...then sorry to say your addicted.

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
