  1. I have a Nismo Gmax twin and its not really fun for daily driving. I was ok with it after a day or so but still stall it every now and then, especially after driving other cars for a while.

    Pick up point is ~2/3rds of the way up and its got very little give between off and on.

    Not many (if any) of my friends can drive the car anymore but doesn't slip one bit!

  2. I'm biting the bullet and will order one of these puppies. Its a GPS based performance tool designed for cyclists. Have done a bit of research and apparently there are a few motorbikers using these with good results.

    Can get them delivered for ~$260.00 :)

    In the link below the jpegs show the data recorded, and you'll notice top speeds over 200km/h!. It registers laptimes down to 100ths but I'm sure there is interpolation involved. Over all it seems to offer a whole bunch of the drift box functions, including mapping, time and speed for specified distance, etc...

    Anyone else tried these?

  3. re the oil cooler, no overheating as yet... just being cautious. A little peace of mind I guess. (Ironic I know as I'm gonna try and run the hi-flow without an ecu, will check the ratios though)

    The SMIC is pretty beefy, supposed to be good for 240rwkw or so.

    Toshi said the tune should be good for 1 bar, not that the stocker would do much at that pressure, but I'm guessing the stock turbo would flow alot less than the gcg at 10psi.

  4. I currently have a RB25/VG30 Hybrid GCG Hiflow Turbo sitting on my desk to go on my R33 gtst. (Been sitting there for 6 months now :laugh: )

    I have a dilemna...

    I cant afford to buy an ECU and injectors for quite a while it seems, and I'm wanting to do a whole lot more trackdays. I'd like to put the turbo on so I don't blow the ceramic stocker (1. so I can still drive it and 2. so I can sell it as a working turbo)

    I will eventually get the ECU and injectors, but in the meantime...

    Can I do it?

    I know its not the ideal solution, but?

    How/can I run less than stock boost? Will I need to?

    What will I ned to run the turbo, I was thinking of the following;

    Tomei/Nismo Adjustable FPR

    HKS Adjustable Actuator (GCG has 10psi R32 on it, maybe I should use the 7psi stocker)

    Currently I have;

    Rechipped ECU (By Toshi, more agressive timing and richer I think... and no speed cut) Pretty similar to Jap chipped ones I guess.

    TBE

    ARC SMIC

    Splitfires

    Bosch 044 pump

    Will be adding an oil cooler shortly also.

    Feedback???? Please

  5. My fisrt day at Eastern Creek back in 98 I think it was with my stock standard R33 GTS-T was 2 min flat.

    Thanks John, I feel all inadequate now!!! Thought my 2.03 was ok with exhaust and suspension.

    Apparently I need to try harder, much harder! jeez...

    Thanks to all the photographers! Great work. Silver Arrowz, can we get the hi-res versions? you can pm me if you want.
