Anyway, the rwd class looks like its going to be a hoot next year >_< and good work NickR33 punching out a PB. To the best of my knowledge thats the quickets street tyre time for a Skyline/Silvia etc

The RWD class should be a blast next year, can't wait! Everytime I go to the track and I'm not driving I die a little on the inside...

The new engine should be starting to get put together soon enough :P

But I think I'm going to need some bigger brakes... >_<

Ps Dont worry Ferni, tEh GT-r cAn NeVAr LoOSe! I'm gonna have to get some tacks that drop from the rear of the car Bond-style to stop you guys!

Dont worry, whilst they are going fast we can...um always drink. You can find solace in the bottom of that bottle. You just have to be willing to look in the bottom of a few of them if you dont find it in the first:)

And new SAU Stubbie Holders in the works. So far there is only 3 R33 GTRs and an R34 GTR that get one :P

ok, here's my plan:

1. You drink your way through 4 bottles of Whiskey

2. Give me the empty bottles

3. Hit unsuspecting cheaters over the head with said bottles

4. Happy dance and GT-R's for us

What do ya say?

My dad gave me some great advice. He sat me down and said...

"Troy, you're not the greatest mind going around. Your only chance is to know smart ppl and ride on the back of their success"

...and you know what Dane, that is a great idea. Im pretty sure Diminished Capacity is still a credible defence in court :yucky:

Hey, worst case scenario we plead temporary insanity when the times go up, they'll understand. If they don't, well, drink another bottle and we'll hit them aswell.

Jesus Dane. You have some seriously violent tendencies...you need to have a long hard look at yourself, odds are you will only realise that you are right and they are wrong. I keep telling my therapist she is off the reservation and needs help. I think its pent up sexual frustration, i think she wants to sleep with me :)

Ferni, Nah, got that sorted as well. There is going to be some others for us normal ppl as well so that we can enjoy a coldie over xmas.

Question is who wants a long neck holder :rofl:

Yeah, I have to keep up this violent facade, how else am I going to prove insanity?? Slapping yourself in the face only works so many times... perhaps I shall run around in circles screaming 'whoop whoop whooooooooop' to strengthen my case.

Geez didn't know going fast gives you celebrity status around here!!!! :)

Problem is I have big shoes to fill now, the pressure is on to go fast at every other track... uumm would you believe me if I said it was a fluke that I 'did a teen at Sandown'??? :O

FINER6 - even though the stig looks like his doing it with ease, the helmet doesn't show the true emotion of going that fast... ;)

Not the point Stig. You went out there the week after you were kicked badly in the balls. You had fun and you happened to improve massively on your PB. You only ever hope to go quicker then you did last time. But thats not always possible. Anyone that has done a few days knows its hard to always go quicker. Those that have done plenty know its enough to have not broken somethin on the car

can someone tell me what the kick in the balls was all about there, stiggy boy?

Basically I did 1 flying lap for the day, spark plug tip decided to break off and have a party with the piston...

All fixed now... :)

Nick was running Aziens (215 fronts and 615 rears I believe) which count as streets - just. They are by far the best street tyres you can get that aren't a full R Comp.

They last a long longer and are only slightly slower than R comps. They are a great comprimise tyre. Toyo make a similar tyre in the R1R's as well.

yep Azenis are the goods... I really like them and if I can afford to keep running them I will... I use them daily on the street as well so they get plenty of use but have stood up pretty well so far

haha so I will be the cheater in the 'standard rwd' class... except Bel and Juz you have lighter cars... I need more grip to stop the whale flying off the track into the tirewall due to its immense girth... or something

You'd be better off running RE55s as a daily driver tyre. They wear at about the same rate and are worth 2 seconds minimum per lap over the Azenis..

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
