It turns out that its not only Skylines, WRXs, Silvias and Evos that seem magnetically attracted to telegraph poles. Just because you've got dollars doesn't mean you have sense.

Lets see The Daily Tabloid blow up about street racing when it comes to this one....

Apparently this is the story behind it...

From a witness

"An old bloke, around 50-60yo is drinking in the pub all afternoon, he's already pissed at 5pm . The bar staff stop serving him but leave him to finish his last pint which takes him better part of an hour.

This guy staggers out of the pub, hops in his Ferrari and pulls up at the Mends And Mill Point Intersection at a red light waiting to turn left.

The crowd on the balcony turn to check out the car and give him a cheer he responds by revving the engine and either pulling the bird or giving the crowd a wave,. So the light turns green and STUPIDLY he just plants it! In a Ferrai he just stomps on it, now thats a tight left hand turn at the best of times, i think he thought he was driving a Falcon and could spin the wheels but no, with all the traction control that thing has it just launched it like a bullet, he didnt even make it half way through the turn and BAM head first into the Traffic light.

Everyone rushed the balcony and started taking pictures and jeering him, One of the Staff got to him and asked if he was ok, "I had my seatbelt on, hic" was his reply.

The cops ask the Staff to detain him so hes, sat him down (after he had been into the bar, but didnt get a drink). People swarmed the car and footpath and in the bustle he jumped up and legged it through the car park. T the bouncer chased him with a couple of bar staff one of which went tits up in the pursuit and face planted the ground, he was not punched, he was pissed too and didnt see the chain barrier at the bottle shop, we all got a laugh outta that because he came back insisting he'd been punched when really he had just gone guts up in the car park, funny stuff.

The bouncer bought him back and sat him down for the cops.

Cops came and took him away. And yes he blew 0.24 which is obviously 3 times over the limit, he staggered into teh cop car.

So, $380K+ car, over $50K damage to it and no insurance. He'll probably have to pay for the damaged traffic light as well."

      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.

      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).
