  1. It feels like I need wider tyres and a new clutch :wassup:
  2. Update.... Well brakes still are no where near adequate. The brake shop that I have been getting most of this work done (over the last 6mths) have come to an agreement that they will refund the costs involved in bore/sleeve my Master Brake Cylinder when I have a new 1 fitted (at a different, more reputable workshop). After having my car for easily 10 days in the last 4mths they blatantly swear their are no issues at all with my brakes, I feel sorry for any mum or dad getting their brakes fixed at this workshop as their lives are in huge danger. I'll be getting the master fitted sometime in the next week along with a fresh bottle of brake fluid (about the 50th litre in the last 12mths) and then I pray that I have no brake issues for the next 15yrs otherwise im gonna scream so loud that Perth SAU'rs will hear me The new Master Cylinder was ordered from 'Hornsby Nissan' (Nissan Import Spare parts specialist) for $491 and took 1 week to be delivered to my door. The part # is 46010-75T02 and here are some pics (ok im bored!!)
  3. How much did the Turbosmart E-Boost cost to purchase and also to have fitted if you don't mind me asking ?
  4. Hey John do you need any pit crew ? :bahaha:
  5. nothing unusual about that....
  6. Can you see if something is visibly wrong with the clutch master just by looking at it or is it something that needs to be removed and taken apart ?
  7. Although if your looking at an r33 gtst's fmic on a drag strip you got issues haha :wassup:
  8. A $155 Ex Cam Gear will give you better response. Check out my small review: here
  9. I was getting this problem about 5x a day but havent seen it since before the weekend
  10. I doubt it .... sounds like its gonna have many GTR obstacles :wassup:
  11. Carlo has organised a trackday at Wakefield for the day after (17th) so I might go and watch this UAS day, stay over at my parents place in Goulborn Sunday nite and then drive on the Monday event.
  12. Whats the best way to reduce this problem if you have plenty of fresh oil ?
  13. On a totally stock R33 GTS-t you could get away with it for $10k (using NOS).
  14. Updated ! Zombie... nice top end, you have a 13 flat waiting if you can get that 60ft time down. What turbo setup do you have ?
  15. Personally i'd say get it altogether... do some 12's and then work out what you need to find tune to get into the 11's.
  16. ^bump^
  17. I will be there spectating, this time I will come and say hello !
  18. hot hot hot !!! Good luck with the sale.
  19. I went down in the arvo by myself for a few hours. Parked in a back street then walked around to grab some lunch. Noticed 2 Lambo Gallardo's parked on the main cruise road so I just sat and wet my pants over them for about 2hrs whilst watching other cars cruise past. The cops blocked off the light house part so that was pretty stupid ... bloody cops... they ruin all the harmless fun these days.
  20. I say someone give MS some decent competition... I want to see him battle for the lead not slow down to save his engine.

  22. Actually I won't be losing my license after all so its more of a financial thing now, will let you know closer to the date if thats ok. How many confirmed do we have now out of 25 ?
  23. Ahh the joys of double demerit weekends (which I totally forgot about). On the way back from Palm Beach following Nick n Ash (they were about 1 corner infront the whole way). Came around a blind corner (doing the speed limit) to find a van had pulled out, jammed on my brakes hard to avoid running up the back of him (not his fault or mind just a stupid corner). Then afew corners later it went into 2 lanes so I drove down the inside lane to realise that on the otherside of the intersection their were parked cars so I tapped it to get past him to duck back to his lane and apparently their was a cop car somewhere around that part. "If" I was speeding it was for a total of 150m whilst I was overtaking the van so if I really wanted to I could possibly fight it (and also the fact that their were 4 cars within 50m of each other all doing a similar speed) but to be honest I have no idea of what speed I was doing coz I was concentrating on overtaking the van whilst avoiding parked cars and going thru a traffic lights intersection so no point in contesting it. Got done for 86km/h in a 60km/h zone, $203 and 6 points (double demerits). Was only discussing with Nick n Ash about 15mins before how many points we all had (I said 6) etc so I must have jinxed myself. Just rang the RTA to ask about the suspension period etc (cos I'll lose all 6 remaining points) to find that I just got my 3pts back from a speeding fine 3yrs ago so I wont be getting suspended after all. Just means I will be on 3 points for the next 2.5yrs I'll lay low for a while (won't be at the track day in 3wks) or may even sell the car and look at different options as insurance is gonna be an absolute killer when its due in 6mths.
  24. I'm out. Might be down to watch/passenger whore but doubtful at this stage. Sorry.
