Well, the Inaugural QR500 has been run. It was a great event and went off with no untoward incidents at all.

14 teams entered, 11 finished and the unofficial,unsponsored SAU entrant finished in 8th place.

The R33GTS25T ran like a train for 127 laps(the winning Monaro did 159) we didn't even use any oil (rev limit set at 6,500). Our one set of Yokohamas lasted comfortably,the Red Stuff pads just made it and the stock rotors are stuffed. One front rim got a small dent when mick51 slid onto the ripple strip in turn 4.

mick51 did his entire driving stint after dark averaging 1.32 per lap,fastest 1.31.

It was a real blast sharing the track with the likes of the Le Mans 962 Porsche, the Monaro, a couple of Group A Touring cars, bunch of Porsche GT3's along with some WRX's and a couple of very nce Alfa GTV's.

We are looking forward to next year

So who drove and in what order with how many laps under whos belts...

Did you reset the odometer before the race... Would be nice to see how many km's you got to a litre under racing conditions...?

I would assume 25l per 100km's would be a fair sorta effort?

Thanks guys, the whole thing was just a blast.

car mods

We took out everything that wasn't needed, but put the dash back in.

added a just jap 19 row oil cooler(crap) thats it, engine and driveline was stock.

Thanks to GTRgeoff we got the hicas lock bar on in time and removed the hicas.

Suspension was Whiteline springs with DMS fully adjustable shocks.

Wheels Mod 11's 17x8.5 front and 9.5 rear Yokohama Advan -032R 235 40 front 265 40 rear

Speco shift light and short shifter.

didn't check the Klms but we used $370 for the race using the track fuel supply, the "Premium fuel" turned out to be 102 octane unleaded.

It was a team event with up to 4 cars and 4 drivers per team. Some teams had 4 cars ,we had one with 4 drivers. I started the race and ran for 40 minutes(just enough to see the 962 expire) my friend Warren(another pensioner) ran 2nd for about 50 minutes. His son Darren then went on for about 1 hour and mick51(my son) finished it off.Micks entire drive was after dark and he did our fastest race lap 1.31. Either he or Darren did a 1.30 in qualifying

So you don't recommend the oil cooler then????

Nice work guys, shows what a reliable RB can do!!!

No, looks nice but made from very soft alum. Alum adapters screw into the remote and they are very very soft, fittings supplied on hose ends are large and too close together, very hard to tighten up. Braided hose looks nice but is an absolute pain in the car. I got the supposed R33 kit but it is just a generic with 3 very long hoses. Cost me another $90 to get them cut and new end fittings to actually make a rational fit to the R33. My apologies to Just Jap but in my opinion just a waste of money. I will be replacing it soonest with locally bought components.

In all fairness,it did the job and lasted 401.32Klm at race speed with no problem :mellow:

Pic's r up on the qr website guys, goto the left and click on "the track" then "galleries" www.queenslandraceway.com.au

Track was very grippy, it see's alot of action so plenty of rubber down. Bumps at the end of the main straights in the brakeing area's r bad and getting worse. Dosn't bother the skyline to much but the little cars and open wheelers get thrown about pretty bad. I can't imagine how the bikes or go karts go on em!

Sorry Zaffa, I missed the last bit

Entry was $1250.00. You need AASA Race Licence. We upgraded our AASAclub licence on the day doing our observed laps during qualifying. We followed the AASA Requirement list for the car and driver in upgrading ourselves and the car to pass scrutineering

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
