I can be added to the going list, got my weekend swapped at work, FUARK YEAH!

One ugly 33 to the list please!

Awesome mate ;) looking forward too it! U can join my car in the ugly club haha.....

I'm on call for work so will have to play it by ear, but keen to meet up with you guys after the gorge for the pie run if this is still an option?

May have missed it in the thread, but if so I would appreciate confirmation as to where exactly to meet the group.

Would be great to meet some new faces and take a few pics of all the sexy rides.

Would be good to meet you mate.

Matt, any idea on a meet point for the run back up?

I need to make sure I get my suspension in before this.

I got 3/4 of it done on the weekend but I can't get the back left one out. Stupid bolt is seized and I need to get a friend to cut the damn thing out for me.

Worst luck. But at this stage still on track for this cruise. So keen still!

Would be good to meet you mate, so let us know if you can make it... My number is 0434353292 so if you need us on the day save it :)

We put up a location but it was more of an EOI for the guys wanting to come either down or back up, anywhere in Hornsby is fine but due to the number of cars i am suggesting before the road divides as there looks to be a large shoulder to stop on to meet up, if anyone has better suggestions please fire away :)

Yep, as above :D

How'd you go with the bolt? Odd for it to seize..... Mine were OK? Let us know either way mate........

Sorry for the lack of updates, i've been off sick this week and snowed under trying to keep up with the workload due to the time off, i WILL be fine for the cruise lol

Taking it to a friends place tomorrow and cutting it out. My fronts came out well easy and my rear right just needed some convincing with the worlds longest breaker bar but the rear left just would not budge, won't even turn both nut and bolt. Starting to think it got bent when I got run off the road a few months ago. Had a friend of mine (90+kg) hanging off the nut trying to turn it and it wouldn't budge. Should come good tomorrow though, I'll let you know.

You talking about the coliver bolt yeah? That is odd :/

Re: coilover bolt.

Metal shrinks when cold, might make it a bit easier to budge the thing.

Nope, if it didnt come out with that sort of leverage it aint coming out!

Just figure it'll be easier to cut the head off the bolt and push it out. Not sense it bruising my hands over it.

I'm very interested to see the condition of it once it comes out. Either it's bent or some spanner at the workshop I sent it to has put loctite on it.

Post up pics, i wanna see..... Just to confirm you were swinging on the end with the nut and not the end with the bolt (if that makes sense?)

If its loctite -

A) your mechanic is a clown and

B) it should still crack under that pressure......

:ph34r:

There is no way for the bolt to bend in that tube tho which is why its weird that its so stuck... Make sure you have a spare nut and bolt good to go?

Was swinging on both sides. I couldn't even turn the bolt. It was bullshit stuck.

    • Speaking of diverting threads, my second ever NISMO purchase…. I think they look pretty classy and just wanted to share 😅   PS: 1st was the oil drain plug 😂  
    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
