Bec - Getting sick of Winton!? Take it back! redesigning signs, conversing with the locals, wang bangers - what is there to get sick of! I know what you mean with going to a different track though. :yes:

I would be interested in this and might be able to tie it in with catching up with my Sydney guys from work. Can someone put me under the "groupie" section please.

Great idea Snowy :D

My new employer carts the VIP Petfoods Porsches around in those trailers so I could see if they can collect from Melbourne. How many would we be talking? I think it is the ex MD whose daughter is married to one of the Kelly family (V8's) so he is a keen enthusiast also.

Had a chat to one of the Directors and VIP own the trailer, we simply cart it around so is a no go as our primary business is temperature contolled transport.

Probably best going the TNT route. Doesnt someone off here work for them? :O

:O Great to see lots of interest in heading north to play on the NSW tracks.

I've wanted to visit the creek in a good car for a long time.....I'm with Aaron on this one, go the road trip with a van full of cheater wheels/tyres for the track events.

Might as well drive the cars....isn't that what its all about???

Yep I've been thinking the same thing Benno. Basically last time I towed the car because I new the engine was on its last legs but if the car is fine there is no reason to fork out the extra $$$ for trailers and the extra $$$ needed in fuel (towing costs way more in fuel than just driving).

Doesn't help Ray but for most I reckon we Road trip it for sure.

Put me down as a defintate although I will be here waiting for you guys and will do the Eastern Creek event. Will have other zed bait for you guys to play with and no doubt some of the other GTR's in town and probably GTR JASON who thumps along with his R32 GTR.

Doesn't help Ray but for most I reckon we Road trip it for sure.

Well I guess i'll have to get my car RWC and join this road trip.

Man, just thinking about the 9 hours drive im my seat :thumbsup:, no stereo, tyre noise, no, insulation, no air/cond.......hmmmmm. :wacko:

I drove to Canberra and back... no stereo, on my own and with more rattles than a tin-can hwy collector.

It can be done... you just loose a tiny bit of sanity along the way.

But NOTHING a beer cant fix :thumbsup:

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
