Hey

Would just like to express how dissapointed I was to turn up to Oran Park on the 11th November when there was supposed to be an Initial D drift on there. Turned up and there was nothing on! Just a bit empty dusty track. Apparently they had cancelled last minute. This pissed me off a bit as I had come up from Nowra, like 2 and a half hours away to come to a track where there was only some 12 year olds racing go-karts on the small circuit. Bit far from the Skylines etc I imagined sliding round the track... or maybe thats just me.

So does anyone know when one is one at least somewhere close, maybe Eastern Creek? And what happened there? I'm yet to go to an event and would like to see some of the action.

the next drift event is a skid pan day at oran park on the 26th of nov, then the off street masters final on the 1st of dec friday night at oran park and then a practise day at wakefield park on the 9th of dec.

the skid pan days at eastern creek were cancelled due to a fall out with ida and the track.

i'm from nowra too, if you want to find out about up coming drift events, you can come and see me at my workshop- O2 Auto Sports-0244230977

      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).

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

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
