:D If I was you I'd change to a genuine one aswell the fibreglass ones don't fit as nice :P

Couldn't have said it better myself. Now...where is morgs...a run with the two of us could be great to watch.

haha...my OEM plastic one fits my genuine GTR just fine. But, if I were to fit it to a GTST, it wouldn't fit quite as well because it would stick out too far on either side for the skinny rear guards. :P

I may come down on the 14th, not out to prove anything...unless you choose to run on real street tyres, with real street fuel, a cat and a quiet exhaust? Maybe you can run a manual too...or have you forgotten how to change gears??

Seriously though, will be great to see you run again, so may come down either way.

if anyone is after an accurate power figure they are best to go to WSID and go by MPH or put their engine on an engine dyno... a chassis dyno is really only a tuning tool which has way to many variables that can affect the readout.... just losely strapping a car has yealded an extra 30rwkw, changing wheels has made near the same so i wouldnt be to stressed by differing read outs

A great day none the less and was great to catch up with quite a few people. Cant wait for the next event :P

So how do i tell how much my line is putting out? i did a 14.1 at 97mph. before i tell you how much i got on the dyno see if you can get near it.

Not sure...never bothered reading the thing...but it is a street meet and I have a street car...are you driving yours there?:P

You and your old man sure seem to be friggin' experts on drag racing for a pair that have "...never bothered reading the thing". :D

Or has he read it and you take what he says as gospel? :D

It was a great day thanks Adam and everyone else :D It was the first time i've had my car on the dyno which i was planning to do and run it at WSID to see what she runs. Now that i've done that and have my base figures i'm gonna start playing with it. Mona watch out cause i'm coming to the 12's with you then the fun begins. Mik i love your car! Awesome display of rb power!!!

Lizjane sorry i beat you but i think it's great to have girls like you, Mona And Elbee111 in the club and into their cars as much as us mear males.

Met some more of you great people and hope some more days like saturday comes up to meet more of you :P

Which book are we talking about not reading?

Thanks for the pics E Lu-Shun !!

Adam, do I contact you to pick up the turbosmart oil cap? :P

The book of 101 excuses for GTR drivers

Here's the top 5

1. My clutch is slipping

2. My gearbox will break

3. My transfer case is slipping

4. My car weighs to much

5. I still have stock airbox

etc etc

:D :D :D

Mik, you need to buy the book - real, REAL bad!

Adrian

Nah...I've never bought a book in my life...no time to start now.

Oh...and I'm no drag racing expert. Sure, I've had a few runs, but it's only for the fun of it and to see what the car can do.

If I was into drag racing, I would not have a turbo manual 4wd full weight street car. I would build a lightened rwd N/A auto with drag slicks. Drag racing is all about consistency, and that's the best way to get it.

maybe Bu5ter should write a book entitled "101 setps to making your GTS look like a GTR" :P

"You'll need to run 11's, low 11's to qualify today"

Sounds pretty experienced to me. What was the bump-spot that day? 12.67 if I recall correctly. :cool:

People that talk it up that much AREN'T only in it for the fun of it. They're there to show-boat and enter their own private dick-swinging contest. Just so you know, the most consistent vehicles in drag racing are manuals.

:P

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
