Haha! Hey you are an Evo owner, convince Alex to do a build thread of his weapon!!! We were discussing it today and he is being a chicken!

Congrats mate

Does this mean more stuff happening for us

Yep it should be business as usual, we all do the same in terms of choosing cruises and events etc, all I gotta do is take the info and work out how to make official ;) I'll learn...

I do need your assistance with MG car club tho as I think some Ringwood events are in order... Although Jarrad in his go kart will kick my ass this time lol

Just bought a gunmetal r33 gts-t. What are the cops like in Newcastle towards imports? Before this I owned a GQ patrol with a 5" lift, 33" tyres and 4.2 turbo diesel with no mufflers among other illegal mods and they never even looked at it... Have never been pulled over in my life and I have owned some sus cars in the past so not sure what to expect...

Its pretty standard looking on the outside but has a highmount gt35r among other stuff under the hood (am planning on swapping to lowmount gt3076r and standard airbox sometime).

Also, can anyone recommend good workshops or tuners around this area

G'day man, Welcome to SAU Newcastle ;)

Cops up here are NOT nice towards imports and i do NOT recommend you doing laps of the foreshore! Obviously a high mount 35r means some serious mods have been done which generally indicates bad news IF you get pulled up!

Keep it clean, keep the BOV plumbed back, No GATE :ph34r: and keep it stock like mine :whistling:

Workshops and tuners? Well DVS JEZ is our local go to guy and is also an Exec for SAU NSW!

If you plan to get out on cruises and events, grab an entry for SAU NSW and become a funded member, you get a sweet members pack AND priority into events and SAU tech nights :yes:

Anything you need, just ask :action-smiley-069:

Is the foreshore the area near the Brewery? I moved here in February and still need to get some knowledge on the area, I live near the uni/ go to uni and dont really go driving around much atm except to work at Kotara and back and sometimes around darby/bar beach (I drive around in a peugeot 306 gti6 as a daily).

I only ever seem to see the highway patrol cars on the main highways and usually late at night, never seen one during the day, maybe im just lucky?

Im going to be swapping to a lowmount gt3076r, stock airbox, and black piping to try and keep it under wraps. It has a greddy plenum too which I am thinking about swapping back to standard with return flow piping but thatll come after the turbo change. Standard r33 type M bodykit and buddy club p1s atm.

Havnt actually got the car yet, looked at it, mechanic check and bought it the other day and am driving down to pick it up on thursday.

As for the gate, its currently plumbed in but I want to get it flanged for a screamer pipe when I swap manifold/turbo. Are cops really going to crawl under the car and go hunting for a tiny little pipe somewhere?

p.s. I have seen your thread 34gtt and your videos and it sounds absolutely mental, cant wait to go to a 3076r and pick up some more response as well as that sweet sound from the anti surge housing. Do you get picked on often with your 34 'looking' as stock as it is? Ever been checked under the hood by the HWP?

Heres a few pics of the car and engine bay atm:

Exterior wise I dont mind it atm. It has an aftermarket rear bar which will be swapped with standard. Looking at getting a roof spoiler, ducktail wing as well as an Hasemi sport front lip.

Wheels will be changed eventually. I really like XD9s and Ce28n but theyr out of my budget alot. Most likely be going 18x9.5 +22 Varrstoen 3.3.1 in gloss black (ce28n replica)

Miss that R31, if anyone has seen it floating around ide love to hear how its going.. Pretty sure the buyer said he was from Newcastle or Sydney when I sold it in 2011. Have since owned a 5 Speed Xr6 falcon, 4.2 turbo diesel patrol and currently the Peugeot 306 gti6. Looking forward to enjoying the r33

Yep that is the area mate! Nice spot but be careful!

Dont change too much as it will cost you a fortune! Leave the plenum and cooler and just make sure its able to get engineered.

Sounds good, link to the actual car?

Mine is screamer for track and plumb back for the street! If you get caught with it out by the cops or EPA its game over for the car and you will be lucky to have it registered again!

Mine doesnt sound like that any more, when it spools you cant tell its not stock as i now have a different style 3076. I did it partially because it was just screaming "Defect me"..... Yes it looks stock but its still a modified car!

No, no checks as yet as i havent given them an excuse, dont plan too either.

Impressive looking beast! Engine bay looks the goods, i can see some tasty parts on there!!! I would be leaving that setup but doing the basics like boxing in that air filter and plumbing the catch can into the intake etc and enjoying the car as is, you can step back to a 3082 or 3076 if you want more response... Or put a smaller rear housing on the 35r!

I was considering boxing it all up and leaving it how it is but I think ill just stick to the plans ive had for a long time. Was originally going to buy a more stock example but after looking at 3 and each had problems here and there I had a look at this one. It was in really good condition and mechanic check only picked up an oil leak from the cam covers so i will be doing the gaskets and half moons on them.

I wont be that much out of pocket by swapping manifold / turbo / airbox. I will resell all the old bits which should cover half the cost. A quick search I found the 3076r for $1499. Will be getting a low mount brae manifold for $1100 and will probs just get the current dump cut up and modified to suit. Will re use wastegate (turbosmart 45mm) and see if the lines are re-usable too. Time shall tell

Well you are on the right path :) You can get a new 3076 for slightly less i think! Ill find out for you if you want!

Good choice going with Brentons manifold! I would have but i found the 6Boost years ago and its served me well so far!

If you are looking to go down that path wait and see Marks results (AngryRBGTX) as he has gone twin scroll but single gate low mount 3076/3037 and will have the same whistle i did but will be really responsive!

The car looks like its setup OK so far ;)

are Varrstoen a brother of rota? im looking for rims of that nature myself but if there in that size there at damn near brand new price.

EDIT: but I don't want something cheap and nasty and they will be coping a bloody hiding!

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
