OK, u got me there :)

I inherited the rover from my uncle, if u saw it u would like it...he forged the engine, lowered it and fitted 16inch rims which were colour coded to the car (in fact runs the same rims as the texaco touring car) back in 80s. Besides, i thought u liked 80s cars haha

cool :)

way off topic, sorry guys...here is a pic.

for me, it has sooo much sentimental value - i plan to drop a monster engine in it, not sure if i'll go twin turbo on the current setup OR a big block to shake the earth :)

Slopey rover it is haha

It has less than 80,000km on it....uncle bought it, worked it, hardly drove it.

In the 80s it was considered advanced with its electronics and features- it made my dads torana ss look like a dinosaur hehe

any hi res of the group photo above?

got it off facebook so unless you can find one using the watermark or tinyeye..sorry :unsure:

DR30 RS' and HR31 GTS-R's will always be cooler than any 90's GTR

and better looking

Mid 80's styling ftw!

each to their own and there are some fit looking eighties cars out there (retro jap thread anyone?) but skyline wise i much prefer the nineties models. Just a personal preference though.

right so this one isnt really GTR's but..close enough?

Wow! Awesome pics there Pat!

I wonder why the first one was taken on a wet day on the docks though - not the best location I would have thought.

The second one above I'd seen before and I love it because when I first saw it I still had my 33 and to me, in that pic, the R33 looks the best as it seems to be riding the lowest and has all the series 3 stuff on it (and it's black :P)

The last pic is just... :woot: Haha

i thought photographers purposely made things wet as it made stuff shinier and cleaner, i know films often have the roads sprayed with water for those reasons. Your right though, the dock location is a little meh.

also true re the, does look pretty boss in that pic.

as rare as that is :P

The pic with the 4 gtrs displays a great comparison and to me the r32 rear end looks very bubbly and aggressive and the r34 looks quite sharp and square...the r35 is a mammoth beast and I luv it.

yeah it always blows my mind when i see how big the 35 is relative to the 34 etc..its like they come from a planet where everything including the drivers are bigger.

also typo in my last post which i cant edit, meant to agree with you about the lowered 33 looking bawwss like. Somehow didnt type 33. WTF me?!

anyway found a few more comparos. love this stuff!

This is cool. At what point did the Japanese think, "Oh! Actually we could just move the side mirrors to the doors!" Great pic though.

There is some off-topic reason why you chose this photo isn't there Pat?

190515_215949085085854_100000122923411_1046157_4945668_n.jpg

Yeah that black R34 looks MEGA.

    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
    • Yeah, the plan is to just put some black rubber vacuum line caps over them to "hide" them a bit I don't want to trim them in cause I need to put the OEM box back on at some stage
