I was joined in 2003 by the user name of @(*_*)@ and same as nissansilvia.com., then one day I updated my email and all the password, but I totally forgot about it, therefore I couldn't login and I'm using this user name now. Anyway, I've owned my R32 for at least 6 years now, and I also find most the guys I knew back in the day are no longer here, may be Maxx is the only one I know. Sometimes when I checked my old topic, I found out all the people have updated their photos and informations too, everythings really changed from the last few years. :laugh:

Man I miss the good ol days when at least one of my GTRs was always working.

Sold my R33 GTSt back in 2000, & in April of 2000 bought my 95 R33 GTR with

only 13000km from Prestige Walkerville. Raced at the first Drag Combat in May 2002

when the HKS race GTR was there. I was pulling 10.7 back then. Last time I raced the car was

April 2003 with 9.45. Almost 4 years ago!!! Is nearly ready for the haul interstate to

have another go.

The 97 GTR I bought from Douglas Dinan back in 03 when I had the R34 Vspec is

almost back on the road as well after another engine problem (hope this is the last time)

Keen to hit the hills soon.post-538-1168602298.jpg

Jesus dude............. YOU ARE A WEAPON!! :laugh:

AIR should be back sooooooooon! Will be good to see you out there!

I could of been an old skool member if I could of found the site.

Munro told me about the site when he had his evo,r34,r33 x2 back early 03 or 02 but I couldn't bl#*dy find it . All I could find was the nsv one and a few other's but munro said that skylines australia was the only one worth looking at . LOL

Took me 3-4 years to finally find it .LOL

Better late than never I surpose :laugh:

I'm not quite bowls & cucumber sandwiches age but, I did buy Hippy's (Hiep) R33 several years back & if your wondering he moved to Sydney not so long after that.

mmm....p0rn!! :no: What sort of times you aiming for Munro with the new set up? Is it running on methanol??

We have changed our plans slightly, originally we were only going to run methanol & slicks & shoot for the outright time records, but due to the lack of track here (& a new baby in our lives), the amount of times I can travel interstate to test the car will be limited.

So, the car is currently having a huge water to air intercooler fitted where that polished intake pipe is now, & we are going to tune the car on petrol (the good stuff of course) & run on Radial tyres.

As the car has standard body, no chassis mods, still uses normal gearbox(not air shifted), & normal clutch(not slider), the car can run in Street AWD class at Sports Compact meetings. Petrol & radial tyres compulsary.

It will take time, & there are many variables (time, money, breakages, luck, etc), but the goal is to run the GTR to 8.50 @ 165+ mph on radial tyres. If we can do it, that will be the world record.

Private testing at Heathcote is the next step. Hopefully that will be happening over the next month or so.post-538-1168734329.jpg

Old skool member here too, not that i used to talk all that much.

Just used to read the forums and come to most of the events.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
