Hi All,

Im heading down to WSID wednesday night and thought i would do a call out to see who is thinking of heading out. My mate is a stock vectra is heading out for the first time so you u will get to see the slowest car in wsid history. i also get to smash a commodore around a bit cause his bro is heading down to. Come say hi if you do go. Im the white r33 with 19" on the front and really bald slicks on the rear...

And 8 back, baby!

Not really. I left my wheel spacers in the shed and when I went to put the shiny new Mickey’s on I realised I couldn’t use them as they foul the lower spring mount in my car. So I put the street tyres back on (with 45psi in them) and went for a skid. The street tyres wouldn’t hold more than about 3400rpm on the line without going into wheel-spin on the spot. The starter at WSID doesn’t take kindly to static burnouts in full stage so I had to drive it off the start line and wait for the car to come up on the converter and then onto boost. As it stands the converter seems way too loose as I crossed the line at 113-114mph all night but at a whopping 7100rpm! Basically the converter is slipping more than it should be and not directing as much of the drive to the wheels as it should be. We’ll take the converter out and have it tightened and changed once I have a bit more data on what it wants to do and work out exactly how hard it’s gonna want to slip on the bottle and with more boost. Bear in mind that last night was @ 15psi and no gas so surprisingly, I’m pretty happy. I drove the car home and everything was fine. I’ll be back out again on Friday the 15th, this time with some drag radials and a little blue bottle.

Cheers

my advice

dont change it till you tune it at te boost you want with the gas, then try it

the same converter will be totally different with more boost and the nos in it. my car is proof of that.

I was out there....was doing some very average times early on but started to tighten them up closer to 10pm. was .12 off pb but ran some consistent 13.6's. looking to drop the pressure in the slicks a little more and try again. still havent taken much off my 60ft tho, 1.970 is only just quicker then previous. 2rismo impressive engine bay, plenty of shiny pipes...

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.

      Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
