Wasn't a 'drag' just some swift (ish) driving - I got the impression he gave it a squirt, but not everything - I in turn dind't change down, but just accellerated in 3rd... You'd know if it was me behind you - fog lights and angel-eyes only.

:D And it was an R33, so prolly not you.

No - My angel eyes are OEM off a 5-series. Modified to work with high intensity LED's. I've had them since mid-last year.

And I won't be trading in my 325i on a Skyline for a while. the 325i is pretty fast, has all the luxuries inside, and looks nice... :D

What I will be doing is some work on the engine. My workshop indicate >450hp is easilly possible... :) Just need to find the $ to do it.

Oh, okay... My brother got his since November '01... bought the kit off a guy in California...

Well, I'll be very interested to know what the workshop is doing to your car for that kinda horsepower in a 325... Unless you changed the whole unit or turbocharging it to the max... I still keep my E36,with an engine transplant... It's virtually trouble free for the last 9 years... but age has been catchingup real fast lately... Reliaboility is an issue...

Turbocharging it, however, is a different story... Good luck...

:P Mine so far is very reliable. Never had a problem, despite 'hooning' up a mountain with 10 other cars in 47c heat! :D

It's quite simple getting that much power apparently - a stroker kit will increase capacity to 3.4l (from the original 2.5) and with that you can get 350hp. From there plug on a supercharger to get an extra 100-150hp. ;) Sounds easy, and it is, but it's also expensive. :) Still, nothing short of a modified GTR would be as fast! :)

I am very concerned with reliability though. I'm going to see if anyone else does it first and see how their reliability is. :)

Too many wine red sky these days...

And I won't be draggin ppl off the hoddle st, saw too many times ppl got pulled over there, plus my recent $165 fine near my own house, plus petrol prices that goes over $1, I'm pretty much boosting less these days, unless necessary...

Putting a supercharger might give you more torque in low revs, but your car could be a petrol guzzler. Getting a turbo that's not too big could be a solution as they spool up faster. Some elec boost controller can also help spool up turbo faster, but not sure coz I never had one in my car. At least you can stay off boost if you're concern for your petrol. But european cars rarely uses turbo, normally use supercharger. Jap prefers turbo. Kinda of a trend I suppose.

My R33 can be considered almost 10 yrs now, but haven't got any problems so far since I had it last yr, except some rattles from the pwr window. Might need to get them tightened up when I have time.

Stroker kit... hmm... as I said, I've done the transplant which had a stroker kit in it... it's a 2.8 engine stroked to 3.1... mild, not wild...

Reliability is a problem now, after 9 years... but prior to this, it is a perfect car with virtually zero maintenance apart from normal servicing and all... But in this country, it's constantly 34 degree celcius throughout the day... maybe get down to around high-20s at night...

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
