Thanks Chris...

This is such a simple question and yet 2 different answers... I think that big sully has a point. Both the slave cylinders on the s1 and s2 are the same so therefore they must bith be push type.... But i still want confirmation without pullin the box out...

What sorta food is it Dave??? Who are your usuall suspects, is one me???

Any good exhaust shop would cost you about $800-900 for a full turbo back system in stainless for 3" You dont need 3.5" unless you want tickets or you are shooting for over 350rwkw...

I did a big write up on the differences years ago... The red top does have a different bolt pattern to the silver top. Yes there are 3 rb20 motors. However all the HR31's only ever came from factory with red top engines. If you see a HR31 with a silver top this motor was swaped out of a R32. Silvertop offers the most refined and highest power output from factory. Also parts are very easy to come by... Redtop NICS - 140kw ish at flywheel, 12 post plenium with vacum operated butterflys. Redtop ECCS - 150kw ish at flywheel, 6 port plenium. Silvertop ECCS - 160kw ish at flywheel, 6 port plenium. Easy way to identify the 2 red tops is by the runners under the main plenium gallery, or of course by the big badge ontop of the plenium... I used to have 2 HR31's both came with Redtop NICS engines as standard. I believe that this engine was a huge nightmare as my first 31 spent more time broken then working. As parts are almost impossible to get. I would always choose the silver top ECCS engine over any other Rb20 simply do to parts and aviablility of aftermarket stuff. Give you a story. My first HR31 GTS'X had an issue one day which i had no idea how to fix. I assumed it was either an AFM or a CAS. However i didnt know anyone with a red top enigne to swap out and test. So i ended up getting it tested by petro-jet and yes the afm was stuffed. Priced around the the cheapest i could get a new AFM for the red top was $690. Plus i had to pay petrojet for their labour. I had no option to buy second hand, cause there simply was not any aviable second hand. Second hand parts for a silver top and that afm would have cost me $50-80... This reason alone should help make your decision easier.

Hello all... After doing heaps of research on clutchs for R33's as im formally an R31/32 man myself (owned 5 lines now). I have found different information. What i am asking is simple. I only want reply's from those with either a series 1 or series 2 skyline who have replaced their clutchs (or a mechanic who does them all the time) and what clutch you put in (push or pull). I even contacted Nissan at Windsor who said all Series 2 GTS-t's are pull type same as the GTR's. Then i call Nissan at Strathpine and they say only the GTR's are pull, all other skylines are push. Can everyone confirm the exact truth??? Please state if your a R33 S1 or S2 and Pull or Push... Cheers Col

Ill be there for ya Paul even if i have to call in sick... HAHAHAHA I nomanate for racing in the morning... Then pit lane marshall in the afternoon... Put me down Paul... I want to attack the national track... Yeah Baby...

Please answer the questions? Do you have a moderator or admin who can vouch for your character? Are you a member of any of the forums clubs? (ie. QLD, NSW, SA, WA, VIC) What do you mean pm you with the details... Your controlling the group buy, your giving us the details. Dont use pm's at all in a group buys as it makes it look very sus. What do you want to hide from the users of this forum. You need to earn our trust not make us ask questions about your intentions. Dont take this to heart im just trying to help you get a good trader rating and secure the best for the forum users in general. Cheers Col

Im keen for 6000k to suit Series 2 R33 (forgot the bulb type). Just one set for low beam... Let me know when??? Your trader rating is 0... Are you a member of SAU NSW, VIC, QLD, WA or SA??? Can an admin or moderator vouch for you???

Xenocal... Ummm Fat poo....

I just am too busy atm and cannot attend most things... Ill all about busy busy busy atm... I like sizzler its just too far to drive for me and i have to go out in 20 minutes anyway...

Im not a whore and im not at dinner...!!!

Yes my car bounced off the rev limiter in 4th gear for about 3-4 seconds before turn 3. The reason i did it was to find out what the top speed was in 4th gear. No other reason other than to answer a question in another thread. Where a user claimed to be doing 220kph in 4th gear at red line, he said it was due to his r33 being a series 2. To my understanding the gearbox's are the same in s1 and s2. So i decided to run in 4th at rev limit to see how fast rev limit takes you. I can confirm that at 7000rpm in 4th gear you will reach 198kph. Does that make sence? As for the clutch, some users will understand. I fried my clutch at the last drag night we had, i have not changed the clutch at all due to lack of time. So at 240rwkw it will just slip the clutch now due to the wear on the surface. But if you turn the boost down and bring the timing back a bit my clutch holds strong. Does that make sence? Sorry but i get really touchy when people question my coments. I may not explain myself very well sometimes, but thats just cause i think others will see what i mean with out writing a heap of stuff. Im not on school holidays and im not trying to convert your religion. Im just talking about my track day experience. Cheers Col

Going the long way from Apsley it took about 40 minutes... Thank You, most say its more yellow in person. But i cannot tell the difference. Either way i always get bee's and lady bugs attracted to it...

Ive added photos 3 & 4 Some wide angle shots showing the dams or lack there of...

Clear mountain is up near cashmere and looks over north pine dam. It is out the back of Eatons Hill/Lawnton. Pie cruise... Ummm i can taste the steak & mushroom then steak & bacon and then steak & pepper... Ummm

Oh... I didnt see that... Now i do... Nice video there...

Has not been washed in over 3 months... I just parked it outside while it was raining last week... Still really dirty tho up close... It was a pie from "the flying pie man" who parks his pie truck out at cashmere, Lilley Rd i believe. $5 deal...

I think he is refering to the saving of the images via macromedia using firefox... Anyways i dont mind if he is trying to turn a buck. I just think he should offer the ability to buy the original file. If he did that then he might sell more work...

Dont you go giving him the finger Dave... I reckon he got SMR33 confused with your car DBR33... Thats what i reckon...

It a compresensive Rb25. No rock unturned other than the head. The bottom end is forged and all the supporting mods have been put in place for 350rwkw... I just have not recieved by new injectors yet and im having touble getting them out of neugun atm... I have a GT30 high mount with a 0.82 rear going on before the next track day. I also have to order cams, but other than the turbo, head work, injectors and cams i have done everything basiclly. I ran boost on my lower setting of 12psi (it is a high flowed stocker). At this psi i get 200rwkw even on all stars dyno. At 14.3 psi i get round the 240rwkw mark with a bit of extra timing. Matt spry is the tuning legend who did all the pfc work to my car and we achieved a massive 520nm of torque at the sau qld dyno night. JBoy was the only car with a high torque figure... I beat 2 other GTR's in the torque department. I owe it all to tuning and the build of the engine. Just need those injectors and im ready to rev limit 5th down the back straight... Yeah sorry i was a bit rude before. I guess i shoudl explain a bit better. I ran the first time on the track 2,3,4 gear only never used 5th at all. Pfc read 198kph at the end of that session. The second time on the circuit i used 5th gear also and pushed the car to the limit down the back straight. I exited the 2nd turn at about 100kph (bit slow but thats the best i could do on street rubber). When i got back to the pits i read 224kph on the pfc. The back straight is most certainlly the fastest part of the track so thats where the highest reading must have been recorded. Remember Pfc reads from the speed sensor straight from the g'box so its as accurate as possible. I would give it a 2-4% varience tho due to tyre diameter and so forth... I think i summed it up in the above post. I was very happy with the straight line power of the car. I even gave J-Boy a push down the front straight just to see how hard it could go. He pulled away but not by much, i just dont have the corner speeds of other cars out there. I do need to work on suspension a bit and i really need some better brakes (i almost didnt make it from 224kph on the back straight into that right hand bend). Any which way you look at it, it was so much fun and was worth it for the testing on my car. My car is currentlly set up for drag racing and has seen a 12.2 at willowbank only 3 weeks ago (on street rubber, same tyres as i used for track day). My car on the 12th was setup the same way as i ran 12 second except a little less boost as i didnt want to fry the clutch or the turbine round the track. I believe the track is harder on the car than drag racing. Once again i cannot thank Paul enough for a very professional track day. Which i cannot suggest enough to others to come along. Im hooked on Pauls days and will be out there next time with my G-Tech to messure G force i think... Im not one to worry about lap times or top speeds i just want to have fun and spank a few cars, just to make me feel better. Cheers Col

Was a nice drive... Always is up that way...

Nah Steak bacon and cheese ftw...
