The R33 went well on Sat night & ran it's best time of

9.508 @ 153.03 mph on a 1.66 60' time.

I would like to thank Mark, Mick,& Tyson from Tilbrooks, Darren & David from Adelaide Engine Developments, Martin Donnon, &

Nate Stevens for all their help & support.

Good on you guys - a new Australian record on street tyres -

even if it was only by .002 of a second!

Looks like I will hang on to the 2835R turbos a bit longer & see

what we can do with them.

Thanks, I'm happy to hold the record for a while -

until Mario runs his GTR on Nittos that is.If he does

it will certainly raise the bar(no pun intended!)

Keir also has a pair of T67s on the way & records

are there to be broken so will be interesting to see

what happens over the coming months.

In the meantime, my R33 runs out of rego soon so

will be doing a bit of cruising - took it for a burn today

to a local car park to take some photos with the other

GTRs - not looking forward to standing next to a copper

with the bonnet up, but if it happens it happens.

Not having mirrors is a bit of a pain. If they were behind

me I wouldn't see them & I definately wouldn't hear them!

But then again - with over 700hp at the wheels I don't think

anyone would be behind me for long (other than Keir of course)

Bring it on Kabab - long drive to Sydney though.

Maybe at Drag Combat.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
