Hi everyone, this is my first post on your great forum and I am excited to be here.

I am from Brisbane and got my First R33 GTR a week ago, but after only having it for 24 hrs, the car ended up in the work shop with a big end bearing done.

Lucky for Stat Warranties I dont have to pay for the repairs, which only started today mind you.

But after lots of phone calls to top mechanics I found out that the UNBREAKABLE GTR ENGINE, doesn't like crap oil and late services, so just a warning to all you GTR owners, take car of your babies and services them on time and with good quality oil.

As for me, hopefully next week I will be able to enjoy my much awaited arrival of my car, I have prestige plates on the way HER GTR. Yes thats right, I am 27 year old wife and mother of a 2 year old boy, but have always loved my cars, I have owned more cars then I have had birthdays including a Soarer, 3 WRX's, and many more. But I think the GTR will stay apart of me for ever now.

I look forward to chatting with you all.

Regards

HER GTR

Hi Kaylene and welcome.

Now that you are a GTR owner - I hope you don't mind stayting poor. :P

I was speaking with a performance shop recently who said

"GTR's are like heroin - once you start you can't stop" :P

Best of luck with your new toy - I'm sure you will be as happy as I am (and as poor).

Cheers

thanks, but lucky for me the first expense is massive and covered under my stat warranty.

After a talked the yard down massivally on their price, (I work in the Car Wholesale business) then they have had to fork out more money for my engine rebuild, hee hee hee. After a few arguments and threats of legal matters, I always get what I want.

thanks, I know I did well.

But I was completely in the right, see as I said I only had the car for 20 hrs, and stat warranties cover everything mechanical that stops the car from performing the duties it is meant to! Going for a start!!!! and it covers you for 1 month or 1000 kms on an import. So there you go, I was just very lucky that it happened after only 200kms of me having the car. Now I get a new rebuild our of it.

I was looking at the cruise that you are organising for the Sunshine Coast in QLD in a few weeks. Was thinking about going but I have a toddler, is anyone else bring kids or sound I wait till I can pass him onto the grandparents.

Hi all, yes my husband loves performance cars as well and he just thought he had struck gold when he met me 6 years ago and found out that I loved cars as well.

But he has a work 4WD so I am the lucky one when the hot car. I cant wait to start cleaning it up (a bit of paint, new front spoiler, mags etc)

I look forward to chating to you all.

Welcome and good choice of ride.

Feel free to deposit any relevant detail of your unfortunate engine demise in my thread below and looking forward to seeing the car with kiddy seat in a couple of months (when I crawl home to Brisvegas)

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
