    Can I Plumb My Boost Gauge Here?

    in Forced Induction Performance

    1249838527.jpg

    Seems like a convenient spot? What's that existing line there and can I just remove it or should I run a t-peice?

    Otherwise is there a better spot to do it?

    Car is a 95 r33 gts25t and I'm new to turbos so a little help would be much appreciated. :rofl:

    Also I know I'm gunna cop shit for this but I bought a small shift light that doubles as a digital tacho as well. Was gunna chuck it on top of my steering coloumn. Where's the best place to grab the ignition signal from?

    Thanks guys :D

    No it isnt ...

    I'm with Dsturbd.

    I'd lose my job if I got a yellow sticker and had to take time off work.

    However I will continue to take the bus/train to work, then bring my car out on weekends.

    Murdoch Traffic Enforcement have a new WRX hatch... doubt that would pass... idiots.

    R32 Gts-t On Hepburn Ave..

    in Western Australia

    Posted

    hey guys,

    just curious if the owner of a r32 gts-t (possibly dark grey) with decals up the side in the northern suburbs of perth browses these forums.. you were going up hepburn ave at approximately 9:20pm at on wednesday night, and saw a purple vl v8.. coming off the freeway heading eastbound

    would like to catch up for a beer and a chat as your car sounded quite tough :blink:

    send me a PM

    thanks :lol:

    c.a.p.a drift ute.... hate it or rate it?

    Just because something is Australian doesn't mean it's automatically crap!!

    Good on the C.A.P.A. team for putting out such impressive figures and putting on a good show at every event I've seen so far, Australia is new to the sport of drifting but I'd love to see the C.A.P.A. ute becoming competitive enough to enter the D1 series. It's a pipe-dream right now but at least someone is trying and representing us!

    Besides, the Japanese love everything eccentric and there is nothing like the VU series ute being produced in any other country right now..

    VL Turbo's so how do they stack Up!

    Thats the beauty of the RB30, in that video using all the gears (Ableit with slow shifts due to *whispers* holding camera in one hand) it takes 9 secs from 100 to 200kmh....I have another video of it, leaving it in 5th, going from 100 - 200kmh and it still does it in 10 flat!

    Yeah that extra litre makes a *big* difference. I used to have a VN 5L with 200rwhp cam and chip with a shift kit, so im missing the torque and gear chirping. The RB20 should be more fun with 4.11's and a T28 though. Even now; when it eventually manages to hit full boost its alot of fun, but if you're in the wrong gear at the wrong time, its can be disappointing

    A mate of mine ran a 15.8 in his stock auto 304 VL down the 1/4.

    That's not as bad as you might think. What you have to remember is that trimatic V8's have 2.78 diff gears, compare that for example to an R32 skylines 4.3 diff gears.. apples and oranges.. chuck a 4.11 minispool and mild hydraulic cam, lifters and stiffer valve springs in and they're not so pathetic..

    Considering most import Skylines have pod filters, raised boost and exhausts I don't think it's that unreasonable. While the V8's might be able to keep up or even power ahead on the straights there's nothing like a Nissan or Toyota to teach you a lesson through the twisties :headspin:
