Don't park on slight inclines. Problem solved.

If it's not the tyres, take it to your mechanic straight away. If it's the bearing, things will start to get more loose, and the wheel will end up with play in it. Not only is it terrible for handling and safety, it will also chew your tyre out majorly.

Scared to take a normal road car on dirt roads? You know half the dirt roads in Australia are smoother than Parramatta road right? I've got no issues taking my car up dirt roads and it's sitting on 19" rims with low profile tyres. Still handles it perfectly.

Farewell to another R33! How much for the boss kit on it (To connect the aftermarket steering wheel to the steering column) And how much for Fuel pump and the bracket for it?

Why do you have to be selling this bar when I have no spare money!!!

Lose oil pressure and an engine will eat itself at idle if running long enough, yet alone while being run on a dyno. And they removed the sump plug, no oil came out, and they can't work out why it has no oil pressure? Maybe because there's no oil in the sump...

More likely to be a bearing then. Don't buy cheap bearings either, you'll be replacing them again shortly. Did a bearing recently on a different type of car, $600 done and dusted (In the middle of moving and don't have time or space to change it myself)

I think SAU NSW owes him what ever on his front car he ate from that air bourne moment...

and then you plan to bolt your front bumper bar to what?

FYP

"Before you start your next motor, have you thought about purchasing one of my dry sump kits so you have oil pressure next time?" /end Fatz Sales Pitch.

I see you've learnt from uncle duncans experience... And proceeded to purchase all the spares before the demand goes through the roof

You have a spare oil pump ready to go?

This thread actually came first...

Ah the ol' cruise control! Couldn't live with out it! And I'm doing the same sort of kays as Duncan is and I can't count the number of times it has saved my license (And no, I'm not illiterate you smart asses!) Will see how my new R33 goes on the drives to Canberra and may have to give ol' Nigel a call.

Clean the IACV very thoroughly.

No need to lighten it, it just needs a sensible suspension setup put in it. Softer rear shocks and springs, get rid of the epic camber, and run low 13s. PS: My 13.004 was on my first EVER run at the drags... But Pineapples, different shocks/springs, realign suspension, DONE. Go run flat 13s on same power.

But than supercars would never be sold...

The cliffs on that big thing above is don't bother reading it. It's at LEAST 4 years old and rubbish.

I've never tried realigning it on a stock turbo, but on the aftermarket ones I've done it one, I never removed the rear housing, just loosen the locking mechanism and rotate it.

And if I was that workshop and you asked the question after the fact, my explanation would be "Because that's the price you were quoted and agreed to" Ask the workshop to explain the price BEFORE you get the work done, not after the fact. I laugh at most of my clients who come in claiming they can get it else where cheaper... My normal response is "Well go on, do it". I then get to sit there and laugh when they stuff it all up as everyone else had mentioned earlier.

The cost affective option is buy a second hand stock turbo as noted. To replace the wheel you will pay pretty much the same amount as you would to have it high flowed. No point rebuilding to standard, spend a couple of hundred $$ and buy a second hander instead.

I do. And this car should be getting close to them IF Nick setups the rear suspension AND tyres. I'm in a heavier car, running 13.004 down the quarter at 106MPH. Nick ran originally 13.9@106MPH in a car that is way lighter than I am. Probably a smaller torque converter would help get this thing off the line easily, OR really really sticky rubber. Chasing more power is not going to help if you are already struggling to put power down at the half way mark...

If you put an RB30E head on it, it'll also make a lot more power, and the police will never be able to tell it's been changed.

We may know what they look like, but we don't know what yours look like, have they been painted and sanded back? Are there clear scratches in it? Is fading evident even though you're claiming 100% excellent condition? A picture says a thousand words.
