had loads of fun....good to see everyone had a ball as well...my biggest regret was doing the burnout for soooooo long and completely demolished my tyres....with no tyres i had no chance, esp in the wet...hit the water and spin...

looking forward to the next one...with some new tyres of course...

hey eug, nice to meet you out there today, and everyone else for that matter. Was a great day, one rexy had more serious problems, a few people overheated due to abuse lol and corinns clutch died. a lot of rubber was left on the track by the boys with deeper pockets and i had some good times and some extra fun runs :bunny:

all is good in the skyline world. looking forward to the next day, but we need a new event . i would like to learn to drift maybe they can incorporate that, but i guess you cant time it lol. figure 8 in the middle of the slalom maybe? i dunno. see you all at the next one

Wasn't just my clutch!

loose turbo, loose steering rack, broken engine mount

Also found out why my speedo is out so much. It doesn't have a 32 gtst diff!

If anyone has any feedback on the day good or bad please let me know :)

yeah he is from the autosports forum...he told me he was organising it....not sure what he is doing...think he said dvd....but wen i find out i will post across...

havent done burnouts like that before....and wont be doing them again....but damn the tyres were still smoking for a good 5 mins after getting off the pan.....the guys who busted there cars blocked the exit so it looked like mine was busted as well....i just couldbt get through..... burnouts in semi's.....damn....

lol yeah... right.

everyone knew you weren't blown up, its just that most people could see that you were going to get wiped out if you stayed there long enough.

plus your car was the only one from memory that actually dissapeared in a cloud of smoke, the otehrs were moving around too much.

not that i know a lot about burnouts *whistles* lol ive been to summernats too many times

yeah it was pretty crazy at times when all i could see was smoke and was doing it blind....had to stop before i could start moving again....when i was doing the tight circle work it was completely white....loved it but never doing it again...well not with good tyres or if i dont have a spare set with me...

i was worried about getting hit....wasnt the smartest place to park....

still holding out for the video....want to see it from outside the car cause it looked big from were i was sitting...

hey Weeman here with the grey XR6 T. I had a good time, I'm lookin foward to doing anyother one. Ill have to find some more stockies :P

Whoo! :P

Heh, sorry about my car being in the way there. Backwards pressure on the fuel pump; she came good after a few minutes settling.

Hey Tom,

Glad you enjoyed the day.

Its not the wheels that are the problems just go to a 2nd hand tyre place and you should be able to pick up tyres for $30 a corner :P

Thats what i plan to do next time i want to do burnouts....

might try some semi slicks next time....but not sure how the water section will go... but the understeer improvement should help alot....

ha you guys are getting too competitive, i went fast and i only drive one handed. you have a lot to learn before you waste money on semi slicks. i'm not sayting it wont help, im just saying you could get the time other ways. like driving better.

i'm sure its harder to do the slalom 180 turns on semis too, its tightest if you sliiide.

well i am the stig so driving ability is not of concern....tyres should greatly improve times if it isnt too wet...if there was no water at all i would definitely go the semi's...my first 2 runs were alot faster then last time....i was under by over 1.5 seconds....

i noticed that this time everyone was slower then last time....overall that is...i think the time trial format is great and love the competitiveness....

i plan to take back my crown in the rwd turbo category....

i plan to take back my crown in the rwd turbo category....

I think you woulda given me a real good run for 1st in RWD turbo class if you hadn't fried ya tires. But ill take it where I can get it.

cheers Weeman.

Whoo! :P

    • 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).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
