a question, is anyone who is competing planning to drive up there sat morning? has anyone whos done it recommended doing it?

someone usually starts a thread for a cruise up friday, and a saturday morning cruise as well :laugh:

Z - never underestimate the power of a coffee Big M in the wee hours of the morning :laugh:

BTW - I'll run the Friday night group - threads will be up some time early in the week of the event.

cool. i will come on sat morning, still am not sure about staying sat night. ummm i got a couple of vouchers for taco bill (25% off max $25). will bring them on sat with me if anyone needs them, that is if they can be used, dont know if u get some special price there.

I usually drive up sat morning and back down again sat, it's not that bad. I'll be heading up the back way again if anyone wants to meet up in say lillydale at around 5:15-5:30am, get there by 7:30am for some maccas breakfast.

has anyone pulled out yet? is the list on the first post still the updated list? :P

No one from NSW is coming to this event so the field has been increased to 50. The list has conseuqently been updated.

I would consider driving up on teh Friday night. I did the sat morning thing and it sucked

yep I have driven up and back on the Saturday a couple of times and it wrecks you pretty good... definately looking to stay the Fri or Sat night this time

    • 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?
    • 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).
    • 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).
