Not sure if anyone else saw the news report on ten this morning, I can't seem to find a proper report anywhere. Anyway, the footage showed a very nice silver R33 with Work (Professor?) rims completely written off, with some stolen hifi gear by the side of the wreck. The roof had been removed, possibly to remove the driver and occupants.

ok guys to clarify! It was a stolen silver r33 gtr (not sure who the owner was), and it was used in a well planned break-in at a bunnings store. They were able to pull almost 20K worth of drills, saws and socket sets. When they were being persude by police they threw drills and socket sets out the window at the cops (lol :)). However they lost control and well we know how the story ends

Well planned? They got caught and wrote off some ones nice GTR. ;)

butler works for the bunnings head office in WA they hear about the breakin's first up... i'd say he heard it was planned well through other bunnings staff :)

the end was of course not planned

lol its easy to lose control of a gtr. add in the fact the cops were chasing u and ur adrenaline would be through the roof... only an exceptional driver would be able to drive without any incident

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
