    Hey guys, im new and just bought an R33

    in Victoria

    Posted

    you guys make some interesting points here....

    i do agree partially with you Starionturbo, in your previous post you have said "The fact is, when you get ur license and ur driving a high powered vehicle, ur gonna do some stupid shit, probably hurt yourself or someones loved one". i understand that once people do get their p plates....a lot more stupid shit happens, unfortunatly thats how it is sometimes. i cant say that im the perfect driver, ive done my amount of stupid shit over the years since ive owned my r33, i do know now that its fairly pointless and i shouldn't have done it, lesson learnt i guess. i have however owned my r33 since i was 17 and it has been a learning curve since then..and yes, i have learnt some things the hard way heh. but if you take these kinda cars away from the drivers at a young age, how will they learn? yes, you can work on the assumption that people get smarter and wiser once they get a little older....but speaking realistically and looking at the drivers on our roads, i dont see that too often. A p plater having a turbo car with no experience with these kind of performance cars.....someone off their p's in the same situation...what is the difference?

    i personally think the more experience people get with these cars the better it is. obvously, no one wants drivers to use their cars as weapons and to see people hurt/killed because of stupid shit. true, it comes down to the attitude of the driver, and some people never grow up. any car can be used as a weapon, its a sad fact. things like driver training should be enforced, not this bs rules where people cannot drive at a specific age

    ...rant over :cheers:

    EOI: Boost to 10PSI for R33 $10

    Ok I have copper ones now.  I am currently testing on other skylines.  

    I think it is safer if using the stock intercooler to run 9-9.5psi which is what the latest ones have been made to.  

    Please note these are mostly for stock cars.  Please check you have the solenoid shown below otherwise this piece will not work.

    If you want more boost you can easily drill out the provided piece (You will only need to take a 0.2mm bigger drill bit to make about 1-2psi increase).   But it is better to run 9-9.5psi.

    Ok You will get instructions I put together with illustrations on how to fit this piece and how to fit a boost gauge.  And you wiill get the copper piece for $15 delivered.

    Sorry about the price increase but I have broken a lot of small drill bits etc

    I do have a few different size drill bits so you can let me know what boost you want to run but it will vary up to 1psi between cars so I want to really be a bit cautious and let you drill it out if you want more boost.  The drill bits are only about $2 and you shouldn't break it as you will only be widening the hole a small amount

    oh i have an offender too! well there are too many to name, but this is one that stuck in my mind:

    On the way to work one morning about a week ago, there was this p plater moron in a green holden(VR i believe) driving down burwood. as we know burwood hyw has major works being done, and there is usually a lane thats blocked off with those witches hat things. So this p plater is swerving all over the place to get infront of the traffic (take into account, its a 40km/h zone). In the end, he has a brilliant idea! why not swerve into the lane thats blocked off. so he does so thru the witches hat things, hoons down at atleast 100km/h, and the exits right at the end. Now, how many brain cells does it take to realise that the lane may be blocked off for a reason. lil too many for this dude

    soft high pitch noise

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Hey guys, just wondering if anyone can help us out here

    at about 1500 - 2000rpm, i get this annoying high pitch sound. Usually only happens at slow speeds, but when im at around 50ish and im sitting between this rev range, there is the really high pitch noise. not running any boost at that point either, so i doubt its any form of spooling. any suggestions?
