i drove it a few times. Gearbox is very funny in terms of shifting to say the least. But it has tidal waves of torque compared to the line. s2000 is a different story - it has an awesome gearbox. Shifting is go slick and fun in that car.

Bachelor of IT.

I'm in my 3rd year so yer exams suck. :(

Especially J2EE - Internet Computing.

I'm a fiddler. I only 'try' to improve upon the current cheap $100 tune I had.

I found that when changing gear or simply flattening it the map trace was dipping to load point 20 then once accelerating settling on load point 19 through the rev range.

This load 20 point was running ever so slightly too much timing as it was causing highish knock readings.

I reduced load point 20 by one degree and left load point 18-19 the way it was and knock went from 35 down to 17.

So.. I dialed in another degree in to load points 18-19 and found knock didn't rise.

That 1 degree makes it feel more lively, but only makes throttle control that little bit harder in second.

Basically through the mid range its now running 17degree's instead of its previous 16 and in some parts 15.

These new tyres don't hook up though. :)

I bought some Firenza ST-03's.

If I don't ease my foot in to it second axle tramps majorly. :D

My subframe bushes are screwed, first things first during the holidays, I'm going to fit some pineapples, hopefully it will stop the subframe from slopping about and help with traction a little.

If I still get too much movement, over the X-mas holidays I'm going to drop the subframe and fit a set of new subframe bushes from Noltec ($190 from Unique Autosports).

Maybe, a big MAYBE fit a S13 3.9:1 diff as to help the rb30 get that little more speed from each gear.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
