Well done guys! I think Snowman and Gerald have done SAU and all Skyline owners proud.

Especially the one with the Porsche hehe love that photo Jamezilla.

I wonder if next year's event will be swamped with Skylines! Hope they don't change the rules and kick us out again :D

Just a quick note to anyone that wanted to watch the show - due to some comparitively unimportant thing called the Olympics the coverage time has changed.

So it will now be shown on SBS this Sunday (15th) from 12:00 - 2:00pm.

BTW - Simmo - just checked all the event results - 18.4s for the 800m - NO WAY is that thing "stock except for some handling upgrades" :D

Wait til me and G roll out our "stock" car for next year. Plans have already begun!

Thanks crew.

I'm a little more aquainted with the car now Kel, so I went a little faster this rally.

Thanks Andrew will do mate.

Be sure if I'm not behind the wheel of the evo I'll be behind the wheel of something!

No joke the car is stock as a rock, besides the exhaust and suspension!

Its pretty guttered though so that helps cornering and acceleration. In the NSW dutton we were doing 12.4's at WSID.

Cheers

Simmo

Noble - meh... everyone wants to see what's in the back of the 550 Spyder (is a twin-turbo 911 jobbie):

More pics, im starting to feel as though i was actually there

Roy - we should have entered...  sounded like a whole lot of fun.  Next year i'll be there.

Looking at the competition the old R32 would have had been creamed, but westill would have had a ball...oh well Phillip Island will have to do... spilt milk and all?!?!?!

well that sucked arse... only got to see the last 5 mins... got to see the GOLGO mobile tho!!!!

would also be interested if anyone has a tape of it... bring it to the meeting on tuesday :)

They showed about 5 secs of my Winton footage! haha. We got a couple of shots of both my car in action and then Golgo (plus James ugly mug at the end). We are going to try and contact the company that did the footage and get the whole Winton thing sent to me.

I loved the pics of the Gleeny/Gainsmith R32 rear wheel where you really got an appreciation of the HIACS working.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
