Just some advice...... If you want to change your rear camber to help with tyre wear etc.......

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET ADJUSTABLE CAMBER ARMS

Camber bushes suck ass haha

Hahahaha they aint that bad :P

The only bad thing is there isn't much adjustment with only changing one bush :(

Did you just change the one set (upper from memory)?

dunno hey. Pretty over it at the moment.

Feel like punching the flamin mongrel that hit me. He thought it was funny in the end, even though it was his fault and I ended up in hospital.

Messaged me and reckons "I should thank him for bumping my shitbox off the road"

If I ever see him again.... I'll be trying to convince myself not to punch him in the face.

In the maeantime I'll call the police and make sure he is being charged.

Sweet as.

Will hopefully have my gearbox back together by then so I can see what times it will do now. Really want a high 12 but will probably only manage a 13 first time out with the new setup. If I can get it off the line.....

Ordered an AEM UEGO Wideband gauge from the states. Has analog out so should be able to hook it in with the FC-Hako and have the AFR's up on map watch in FC Edit. Will make it alot easier to tune.

Also with all the gearbox stuff I decided to go with an NPC Lightweight Billet flywheel. Replacing 2nd and 4th synchro + energizer springs and inserts and bearings and needle rollers. About $1100 going into the gearbox which is not bad for what should feel like a near new box with a decent flywheel.

Next on the list Is carbon fibre valley cover and timing belt cover, put my polished cam covers on and a carbon fibre cooling panel

Hi Guys

The R33 will not be ready for tnt anytime soon.

Also just to let you's know my old boy and Dave from CPV Performance have gone to the Palmyra Drag Committee and we are getting a Car show organised for the 25th of June at the drag strip to raise money for the club. The car show will consist of a Show n Shine Comp, a Dyno Comp (two wheel rolling dyno 1100hp). and a Power Skid Comp (not to be confused with burnout comp). We have also got a Bikini comp lined up as well. Now there will be three catagory's 1.Best Holden 2. Best Ford and 3.Best Import (Import meaning anything imported into the county rice burner's, euro's and yank tanks), and there is a lot of prize money up for grabs.

This will be the debut for the R32 Drag Car at this event, as we are on track to have the car complete in the next few weeks. Now we are waiting for confirmation but Mark Jacobson form Godzilla Motorsport said he would like to fly down to be there for the first outing of our R32 and help fly the flag for the mighty GTR's, We were planing to have all Models the GTR's lined up but my R33 will not be ready, we were gonna have Our R32 N1, My R33, Kingy's R34 and Grants R35 all lined up would have looked awesome.

Anyways advertising should start soon for the event and can't wait to see our R32 destroy everything that crosses our path domokun.gif hahaha!!!!!!!

I'll put some pics up of my wheels again, I really want to sell them locally so I save worrying about transport etc.

anyway:

Koya Inox R1 19"

Fronts: 8.5" wide with 235/35ZR19 Nankang's (inner camber wear but still about 70% tread left)

Rears: 9.5" wide with 265/30ZR19 Kendra's (near new, 90% tread left or more, only got them at the start of the year)

Offsets:

Front +35

Rears + 38

Great fitament on R33 Gts-t, dont really require guard rolling as I drove around with no guard work for 2 years with these wheels.

They are dirty atm need a good clean and maybe polish, there is minor gutter rash on two wheels but its not so bad. Can provide photos of this if necessary.

Chasing $1300 with Hubcentric Rings and locknuts

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
