From some of the stuff I read, The gtr700 ran petrol and HKS gtr ran HKS race fuel which is close to petrol. All 3 run air to air intercoolers with gtr 700 and heat treatment both running the super thick trust drag spec items (like kier wilson). Dont know if the GTR-700 will race this month against reece but it is aparently got a whole new engine ready to go. Cant wait to see reece run though. luck for me the plane tickets are cheap cause every one is buying up to go to melbourne. I think the new record should be a given. If all goes well i reckon we might even see a low 7.

Huh thats finished?

The car is nearly ready - we are just having a tuning issue.

Methanol IS NOT easy. Apparantly Reece took a year to get the tune

right using methanol as we are just finding out now.

Fark........ 7.57.... that is just amazing, wish I was there to see it.

I remember being at Drag Combat in May 2002 when the HKS

GTR was there. 7 second GTRs are just awesome.

I dont actually have a set of wheels for my GTR at the moment. The ones in the photos are off Keir's GTR so we can roll it around. I have Carbon brakes on it so we can fit 15" rims if we decide to run slicks at some stage. We are just using std 17" R33 GTR rims on the car for the dyno. I had some nice gold TE37s a while ago, but I sold them as the car was not being used for so long.

I tried to get some 15" Advans a while ago, but was told they stopped making them.

Keir uses a 15" US Weld racing rim to run slicks on, they may not fit the R33 gtst though

because of the offset. Shouldn't be too hard to borrow some centerlines or weldies & play around

with them to see it they fit. If only they made 16 or 17" slicks. It would make life much easier

for sport compact racing.

Holy Shit John that looks amazing!

Can't wait to see it up and running however I guess AIR being up in no mans land at the moment doesn't help!

Either way i hope its here that you run it first if AIR get saughted

If AIR doesn't open soon, I may just take it interstate once to test it,

& then sell the car complete. It is a shame, but no point having a GTR

like this & not being able to use it regularly.

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
