My one and only excusion to the plex resulted in a fully fried ATS twin plate, i'm running the exedy now too. Was weird driving home after, every time she came on boost in any gear the engine would climb to red line with out the car actually doing anything. Probably lucky to make it back. Enjoy sunny AFrica = lol. I'd give at least 1 maybe 2 of my balls to be back in Bulgy rolling in the snow with a hottie while drinking TOO much vodka. Ah yeah Bill Reece says to say hi, we get on the piss every night here as well but hey that's mining. Good luck with the 11's, thats just a fantasy at the moment for me.

I'm kinda in 2 minds about the events of that night. A. yes it's a bit disappointing that so many got yellows but hey we all know the rules. A bit over the top to bust so many thou. B. I can fully understand why the police chose to that that action. Those burntouts right in front of the cops was stupid, dangerous and showed a real disreguard for the law. When i was waiting in line to get out the first copper comes up, how you doing, love your number plates. Sort of broke the ice a bit i guess and we started chattin. He asks if i have any permits, so i hand over that and he goes through the list. Pods check, Gauges check, BOV check, Half Cage check, etc etc. Anything for the wheels (19 x 10.5) 285 all round. No don't have permit for those. ANyways we keep chattin and the vehicle inspector arrives. The copper i been talkin too tells him all sweet here, he's got permits. What about them oversize wheels. Yep no problem. So basically the copper lied to the inspector and i got out no worries. Didn't even have to pop the hood. Maybe it's because i'm a bit older (mid 30s) or because i treated the guy with a bit of respect i don't know but these guys probably would have preferred being somewhere else not there booking kids in the cars. Some desk jockey that wasn't even there would have made the call to yellow everything. Some skyline driver is probably tappin his daughter or wife and wanted pay back lol. Anyways in my opinion its all part of the game. The good guys Vs the bad guys. I get a rush everytime a see a cop car, whether i'm doing something wrong or not. Will this be the time they pull me over and yellow me. All fun. If you can't afford to unmod your car to clear a yellow, don't mod it in the first place i say. It's a pain in the ass yeh but them the rules. From reading what goes on in the eastern states with regards to mobile epa and noise i think we are quite lucky in WA. Would be interesting to know the reaction from the police if that car park had 500 harley davidsons and 1000 outlaw bikers there doing burnouts rather than 500 modified cars and 1000 kids. I doubt any yellows would have been handed out for fear of starting a riot. So the last thing i wanna say is don't blame to police, if you want to drive a modded car without getting hassled, go to uni, study politics, become premier and change the laws. You got my vote already. Paul

I'd be there for another crack at it but i'm stuck in Africa till June. WAW is even finished by the time i get back. Gav good to hear your giving the beast a run at the drags, is this the first time with the GTRS's? What time you hoping for? cheers Paul

i take it these pumps will fit any RB block and RB Crank? If so you should start a new thread in the performance mods section. I for one don't normally read the RB30 GTR conversion thread but i'm glad i found your post cause i'd be interested in one for my RB26 stroker. Cheers Paul

g'day mate, the GTR was built to race so get out there and have a go. Seeing as your from the USA and probably racing Chevs and Fords i'd be pretty confident you'd be way out in front anyway. But you don't need to win to have fun. Start off nice and easy and just get a bit faster as you learn the car and gain confidence.

mate, R32 GTR, just like me. R32 is lighter and not as FAT as the R33, so your already in front if your plans include any form of motor sport. Race cars are based on performance not how new or old they look so don't base your decision on that. R32 GTR = Race Car R33 GTR = Family Coupe R34 GTR = To expensive to trash on the track for us mere mortals. Mine came in from Japan with only 9000 kms after a forged rebuild, look for something like that. Keep in mind these sort of discussions have been going on since day 1 of the site. Your only ever going to get personal preference from everyone. I suggest researching this site and make your own decision based on what you find. ah yeah - maintaining a GTR is insanely expensive

sounding more like fuel temp problems, like i said mine does exactly the same. Only thing i don't get is why other people are not having the same problem. Every man and his dog with a skyline has upgraded the fuel pump but only a handful are suffering these problems. Is it possible we are "over Fuelling" for our power levels. i'm only making 350hp at the wheels at the moment. perhaps i'm pushing to much fuel to the engine bay and just not consuming enough and thus with the large amount of fuel returning to the tank the fuel in the tank just gets to hot. anyways good luck with the fuel cooler.

Are you running a PowerFC ecu? If so the FC uses the EGT warning lamp for knock. Mine used to flash if i was forced to use 95 ron.

+1 $1000 for wet fogger NOS system and it will run 11's.

Hi Guilt Toy, i resently had my intank upgraded to a Bosch 044 on my GTR and suffer similar symptoms from day one also. Some other problems i have is stalling when pulling up at a set of lights and also spmetimes taking alot of cranking to get started. I was going to check my ignitor and pump earths as both these faults also cause similar problems. I'm outta the country at the moment so can't do to much about it, but with the problem only occuring on hot days after an hour or so of driving i figure the fuel getting hot is i likely cause. If you get the problem solved please post your fix. cheers Paul

Hi Paul, cheers for the feed back, i have an R32 aswell so all should be good. Nice price on the catch can, does that include the lines and filter media? I'll have to flick Ben an e-mail and get one of these. Good luck with you quarter goals sure is i nice setup. I hear ya on the time and money.

Hey Paul, Looks real nice. Catch can is sweet in that position. I want to do the same as my ABS has been removed too. Is there plenty of room back there? Do you think it would work with a single high mount? what numbers are you hoping to run at the quarter. I have the same plenum and throttle body coming to run with my TO4Z. Cheers Paul

Hi Richard, i sent an e-mail to Greenline for a set of these middle of last week and haven't had a reply as yet. So there loss is your gain. I've also been looking at your wheel nuts to so might as wheel get those too. Can you get a price for freight to Perth (6109) for the mounts and nuts and pm me the details. Cheers Paul

depends on what you want the tyres to do. for track i got a set of BBS wheels 18 x 8 255 all round For street i got 19 x 10.5 Volk rims with 285 all round. Rub i bit up front prolly need to raise the ride height a bit and would be ok. For drags i need some stock 16 x 7 GTR rims. So basically nothing is gonna do everything well, just need to choose what there for. the 19 x 10.5 have huge dish and look sweet but really there just rice.

ok cheers. plenty of options to choose from i guess

why mount them out side when you have them inside, i don't get that. Especially when there under the car getting hit with rocks and covered in dust and water. All the drawings i've seen from sard show the pumps inside the surge tank.

By CD's i assume you mean the Apexi Software? This is also available from nengun. (Apexi Power FC Software) is same for Djetro. Don't forget to order 2 x map sensors, fittings and loom.

What setup does this car have that requires something that large? 2.5ltr would be enough for most easily can you fit 2 x 044 pumps inside a 2.5L? I was looking at the 7.5 because it says its big enough to fit 2 bosch pumps, thats the only reason i would use one so big. Don't care if it looks good or ghay, it's not there to change the look of the car or an attempt to grab rice points or look like a Torana ffs. in fact it would be painted matt black so you prolly wouldnt even notice it. Anyways i thinking just mounting the surge tank underneath is the way to go.

Thanks for the replys guys. Might as well get a quote for one i guess cheers for the contact details bubba. For those that have mounted underneath, what size surge tank did you use? I was planning to run Sard 7.5l with twin bosch044's. Thats a pretty big tank to hang underneath.

After reading posts about the in car fuel smell associated with surge tanks mounted in the boot i was wondering if having an aluminium drop tank (SLR5000 style) built with an in built surge tank would be feesible. I guess it's just a matter of more money!!! I would also go for added baffling in the tank as well or maybe that foam stuff you can get for motor bike tanks. What do you think? I guess getting to the fuel pumps may be a little more difficult. ANyone know where i could get one built in Perth? cheers Paul

why no stats on Police "Hoon" Behaviour. We all know they do it themselves, but because they are the police, the only time they get caught is when they wreck the car. a few years ago three policemen were tragically killed in competion with another pusuit car to see who could get the most "air" across an intersection with a hump in the middle. As for the definition of drifting, well thats how you drift in a V8 pusuit car.

need your ignitor mate, get a price for freight to Perth and PM me the details. Cheers

pretty sure the sirens were dubbed i was stuck there till after 1am and i never heard any sirens.

Video Action from the infamous Hillarys meet found on Youtube.

i got one, pretty good system. biggist down fall is track searching. getting to tracks with a and z is easy but getting to anything in the middle is bugger. you have to scroll through each track and when you got 9000 on your ipod it sucks. you can make playlists thou but in hind sight a dvd deck plying mp3 is prolly a better option.
