WazR32GTSt

turbo's on the 'wrong side' from what i understand is that the supra was made for the american market where its LHD and the steering items are all on the opposite side of the engine bay to australia. so with two turbo's and a steering column on the same side in oz/japan then it can get cramped for space and airflow. gets hot in there me would thinks. what about that stupid supra interior? miles behind the gtr... what about that chunky supra arse? "that's a HUGE bitch!"... i'll take a gtr 7 days of the week thanks. cheers, Waz.

what time are people getting there? having dinner before it starts?

the definition of a 'high powred vehicle' is based on the STOCK power at the flywheel and STOCK tare weight as quoted on your rego sticker and the factory power figures so modding a car may change its legality from an EPA or Roadworthy point of view, but it doesn't change whether or not a car is deemed 'high powered' for P platers. this means a 300rwkw and roadworthy R32GTSt is fine for a P plater, but an R32GTR running airflow and exhaust restrictors so its makes 50awkw still won't be legal for you You are safe with an R32GTSt... one of the main reasons i bought one when i was on my P's cheers, Warren.

sorry i missed it guys... had cricket looks like there were more R32's this time! i was the only one on the last cruise!

they actually claimed the R33GTS auto gearbox to be internally the same as most other nissan auto's including the GTSt box is this true? my R32 auto box may survive longer than i thought btw... great idea of an auto RB26! Waz.

i wonder what the difference would be for the gtir down the quarter when: a) 7000 rpm dump B) 2-3000rpm clutch slowly let out i suggest steve-sst you did a heafty launch with that time on a relatively stock car... obviously that kind of launch is possible but not feasable for regular use or the gearbox will die Waz.

i thought i'd throw this in here as my friend from work as a tx5 turbo. same engine, right? he has a full 3" exhaust, pod, and cai and made 118kw@front wheels then ported the head and turned the wick up tyo 10psi so should be making at least 130kw at the wheels... from 0 - 160ish i beat him by 4-5 car lengths... my cars mods are: 3" turbo back except cat (2.5"), FMIC, 12psi, re-chip ECU, rb26 cams so yes they (and the mx-5) do make some nice power when modded and i have seen him beat an sr20 180sx as well as numerous commonwhores Waz.

what sort of time frame are you looking at? i know a guy who owns/runs an import dealership in campbellfield and he goes to japan every few months to get parts and half cuts if you have a few months up your sleeve he can find you exactly the engine your after and bring it over in one of his containers PM me if your interested... cheers, Warren.

399 of those views are me checking back to see if we have numbers yet! c'mon SAUers!

i bought a dump/front pipe off BATMBL for about $250 and its 3" from the back of the turbo to the cat all in one piece... click on the for sale section and you will find his post in the business section cheers, Waz.

well my thesis is due on the 15th so i'll be there with a great big load off my shoulders...!

ash maybe it wouldn't hurt to put a post in the normal VIC section to get some more views... if we are that low on numbers it can't hurt can it?

adam, whats the go on the laynards and membership stuff in the 'showbag'? is that happening at this meeting or has that been canned

100% ownage here too! loans are for houses, not cars...

how many more do you need exactly for it to be a go-er?

g'day there wardest... if you are who you say you are then can you hve my children?? anyway... here's my petty little concerm for the day: my girlfriend likes fashion, and fashionable items. she likes pink shirts. she wants me to wear pink shirts... I HATE PINK SHIRTS coz they are gay, make people look gay, and are a colour well-associated with the gay community. am i right im not wanting to wear pink shirts? Waz. PS i have itchy balls

i'm 191cm and i fit fine in my R32gtst but it has no sunroof... as for that article in speed, it was a basketballer who had an r34 gtr and he had the seat rails modified i think cheers, Waz.

R33 GTS25t, 300rwkw, standard 5 speed and diff --> guy weighs 150 kgs and changes gears like a granny R33 GTS25t, 300rwkw, standard 5 speed and diff --> lady weighs 50 kgs and changes gears like mark skaife both cars do 120mph? and that's only ONE variable. the variables on the strip are much larger than for that of an engine dyno...

but in saying that, i think saying the 1/4 mile is USELESS for measuring engine power is a bold statment... i believe that with a simple calculation the 1/4 will have a greater inaccuracy than an engine dyno due to a larger numbr of variables, and to calculate it properly by taking ALL things into consideration would be more difficult than what your average joe could do.

i'm sure that if you include ALL the variables that the 1/4 mile and dyno have respectively then thy probably will both give you the similar power figures by calculations and each has their own variables, like: drag: driver, gearbox, drivetrain, weather, distance above sea level, surface, weight, weight distribuition, power curve, torque, tyres, etc. etc. dyno (wheel): gearbox, drivetrain, weather, tyre pressure, calibration of machine, dyno operator etc. dyno (engine): weather conditions, calibration of machine, many more? the point that i see is that for measuring ENGINE POWER then what could be better than an engine dyno? it CLEARLY has the least amount of variables compared to that of the drag strip and that makes any results the easiest to accurately obtain and thus the most convincing in my eyes. and before anyone says, yes all the above variables i wrote aren't the only variables i just couldn't think of any more as i'm suppost to be writing a thesis and that's on my mind... cheers, Warren.

does/doesn't have a CD burner? i couldn't understant all of that jibberish above!

'tis a sad day in SAU history...

but no he won't give a 'quick' RWC he ain't dodgy...

a very experienced an reputable workshop is: highpoint automotive repairs 9318 2076 ask for Paul and tell him that warren with the blue skyline sent you he does roadworthies and is a very good mechanic GO THERE! cheers, Warren.

that's when you flick to 'hi boost' hey? ha ha
