In any car I'm driving, I'll drop a gear BEFORE the hill to put the revs in a nice meaty part of the torque. I don't let my engines sit and labour, that's not good for other things... High load, low RPM is a detonation prone point, as well as a fuel thirsty if you're climbing hills... But to be honest, a stock R33 has 150 odd RWKW on tap... It doesn't take that much power to climb a steep hill that is on the freeway. 4.5KG flywheel and I still managed to head up and down the Hume highway Wollongong - Goulburn without needing to drop gears... And they've got some decently steep hills... Maybe if you're driving your mums 1980 model civic and encounter a hill, you'll want the heavier flywheel... In something that can punch enough torque... Well you're kidding yourself really that the light weight flywheel f**ked your ability to go up hills easily. On the topic of harmonics... HOW can it dampen harmonics? It's a solid plate of steel... Notice how anything that is a DAMPENER has a way to sustain and miniise shock waves? IE, rubber, or a fluid... Say like, in a harmonic balancer?

Personally, buy brand new flywheel bolts and clutch pressure plate bolts from Nissan. Don't reuse them.

The car doesn't need to be standard, it just needs to be road worthy and legal.

You did say they were both trying to race... It's all good man, not having a dig at you, trying to point out to those in here who might have read that as the coppers trying to get you both to race... XKLABA, I'm not sure about you, but most people I know when driving along, when they see a new Holden or Ford commodore, they head straight back to the speed limit. Why? Because we have so many unmarked cars around my area. So basically, what has happened, instead of everyone slowing when they see the police car, they're slowing for every car that "could" be a police car. So now, by using an unmarked car, you've affectively turned every new model Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon into a speed deterrent... And you know what, they've had to spend no money doing it... Their whole idea of "Any where, any time" is true, and that idea, is what is slowing more and more people down. Oh, as to the 30 points thing, I'm not sure if you understand the points, but basically every offence in the actual law, has a points rating (NOT DEMERIT POINTS), most offences are 6 points... That means in a 12 hour shift, they need to book 5 people... Ever driven on the freeway for one hour, smack on the speed limit and seen how many people speed past? I'd usually have 2 - 3 HIGHSPEED speeders go past (Talking 130 - 140+ KM/H) yet alone those sitting on 120 in a 100 zone...

Yes, berry is the Final destination, you can then choose to head home or stay and talk. If you were headed for Canberra, I'd probably suggest you skip the turn into Kangaroo Valley, keep heading straight until you hit a roundabout a bit up the road, turn left and just follow it, and it will put you on the Hume Highway not too far north of Marulan DTC.

The engine bay and wiring was already being prepared for a 6.0L ;) Unfortunately, dollars are winning... unless you find me a 5.7L manual wreck for cheap and we'll get Sean to swap that in instead... I would much prefer the 6.0L though... So keep an eye out for those too... (Yes, I'm deadly serious)

If you're trying to get excess oil from the head to the sump, you need a drain on the exhaust side from the head, down to the sump. If you're trying to lower the crank pressure in respect to the head to also help drainage, you run one on the inlet side of the motor. It all has to do with the way the crank is spinning. Do you still have the front oil drain on the passenger side connected, and not blocked?

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!!! We're taking off once more on a nice casual cruise, this time on a Saturday. For those that came on the last southern cruise, and especially those that were all "OH MY GOD! I LOVED IT!" well, you better be here again, because this one is going to be even bigger and better. This cruise is going to have a bit of everything, for everyone, there'll be some nice country side roads, there'll be some twisties, and even a bit of the ol' freeway. This really is going to be one of those cruises you don't want to miss... I bet you've heard someone tell you how good the Royal National Park is, I'm putting money on the fact you would love to have a crack at Macquarie Pass, some of you may have even done these two roads before, but have you ever put your car across the Kangaroo Valley? Because on the 26th of February, we're doing all three! This is the type of cruise, that you WILL need a full tank of fuel. There will be a fuel stop as well after the first 1/3rd of the cruise. We'll also be stopping at the 2/3rds mark some pies, as tradition dictates when you go up Macquarie Pass, at the Robertson Pie Shop Ok so here's the details; Date: February 26th, 2011 Meet at: Waratah St, in the parking spaces near the corner of Bath Road. Who: Anyone with any car (doesnt have to be a Skyline) What time should I get there: 9am for a 9:30AM departure. How Much: Fuel and food money, that's it. The route: I'll have printed maps on the day for people, but the basics, from Kirrawee, down through the Royal National Park, through Lawrence Hargrave Drive, up Bulli Pass, down the F6, stopping at Shell in Albion Park. Up Macquarie Pass stopping at the Robertson Pie Shop. Through the Kangaroo Valley to stop in Berry at the local pub for some chit chat/food. On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit. There will be NO DRIFTING. NO BURNOUTS NOTHING ILLEGAL! We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club. As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit. This will be another fun day, with the only cost a bit of fuel, and what ever you decide to eat and drink.

340RWKW... No bottom end mods... I'd avoid it. Probably due for a $10K rebuild...

To all you girls out there, I ran a 4.5KG moly flywheel behind my 25 for over 12 months without an issue, driven daily, on the streets. Never a single little problem up and down hills, was quick to rev out, not an issue. I have no idea about you guys, but I never get to a hill where I'm flat to the floor going "f**k! I WISH I HAD A HEAVIER FLYWHEEL!", actually, to be honest, I barely ever changed throttle position to climb hills and never lost speed... It drove basically the same as my mates stock R33 when going up and down hills. I'm sorry, but give me a lightened fly wheel any day... Remember, for every KG of rotating mass, you're removing around 10KG of static mass in comparison... IE, remove 8KG from the rotating setup, and you've dropped the vehicle weight affectively by 80KG... I'll take that on the street and track any day of the week...

That's because after the first lap, the next nine are left in a time attack to let the sphincter relax from those 5 close calls with wall. Well that, and trying to air the smell of dioreah (sp) out of the car! I haven't yet entered a super sprint, nor a door to door race. I've only done a few track days, and the plan is to do more of all. But for me, door to door is where it's at. It's not about one "f**king quick" lap where on lap two it doesn't matter if you hand grenade the motor, so long as no one goes quicker then you, you've one, it's all about putting multiple laps together, all the while, one tiny mistake can let a much slower spec'd car (Running a lower lap time) through to win. Keeping the car going for one session isn't even the half of it... I quite enjoyed the times I had on the track when others were close by and getting to have "some fun" of trying to keep with each other...

Yes, lucky. I think right place, right time for the coppers. Doesn't sound like they were "G-ing" anyone up (Unlike what people have been claiming through this thread) and just pinned a stupid idiot.

So who was trying to run you? The R31 or the Lancer? I'd say, from their perspective they've seen you and the R31, and someone is G'ing someone up in that group, and they just came along for the ride.

In Wollongong we have: Commodores, Falcons, Pajeros Hilux Utes Corollas Lancer Tarago Magnas We used to have a Rav4 or a CRV, and house mate says he's been pulled by a Camry before as well.

Have you guys ever thought about the fact your motor is designed to run at a higher temperature, so that it has the correct tolerances? When you change the running temp away from what it has been designed to run at, you are causing more wear and tear?

So what you're saying is, you baited the R31, he took the bait, you pulled out, and a copper at the right place, at the right time, booked him?

And twin turbos... With a direct port nitrous injection, and a stand alone fuel management system... Wouldn't be a bad way to spend $10 000 yeah?

Is this the tip tronic auto in the car? If it is, I MAY come down on Saturday and take a look see.

Duncan, if you're racing at Buladelah I'm coming!

I also have an engine bay you can practice spray painting on.... *whistles*

Looks like a pretty tired motor from the results.

So I hear some ass hole is trying to get you to work on his car instead of your own. PS: I love this car... As to what yourself and Owen were talking about, that's typical GTR turbo shuffle.

I actually think he got let off as they felt sorry for him driving a 4 door Skyline... yet alone an R32...

If it's towards the end of the year... I *might* be in...

LOL At least the pakistani people make SLIGHTLY believable scams...
