Hey everyone,

Moved to Sydney from NZ a couple of months back now and finally getting enough time on my hands to start playing around with cars again.

I own an R33 back in New Zealand which is currently with my mate who is tidying it up mechanically and then dropping it off at a panel shop to get fixed up in anticipation for export to here.

Quickly learnt that while the public transport over here is great, you still really need to have a car to get around. Ended up picking up a '82 Datsun/Nissan Pulsar N10 which I've just got running again after experiencing a heap of mishaps after buying it. Done a few modifications and it will probably turn into a bit of a track hack.

Looking forward to getting involved with some events. :)

Cheers,

James

Welcome in James.... Whats the deal with export from NZ to Aus, is it an expensive exercise? I bet your having withdrawels LOL

Keep an eye on the events section once its here as there is normally something going on :D

Haha sorry for replying so late guys.

Definitely keen to come to some events, but maybe in a month or so, got a lot of work on.

Pics? Well the Pulsar is in the garage and the Skyline is in NZ still, so this is the best I can do.

Definitely having withdrawals of the Skyline. Expensive exercise... doesn't seem too bad though. Have had the R33 for 4 years now, so sentimental value is high. Have discussed with Kristian at Iron Chef Imports. Will be hitting him up in a few months once my mechanic and panel beater have finished giving it a rigorous going over.

Thanks for the welcome. :)

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
