Hey Paul,

Looks real nice. Catch can is sweet in that position. I want to do the same as my ABS has been removed too. Is there plenty of room back there? Do you think it would work with a single high mount?

what numbers are you hoping to run at the quarter. I have the same plenum and throttle body coming to run with my TO4Z.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul, The catch can is another Hypertune item $220 plus freight, plenty of room there even with a single high mount and dump, yours being a R33 they may have to change the mounting brackets slightly.

The car was built to run 9's, high 9's. Anything more requires a lot of work to maintain (engine pull downs, gearbox overhauls etc). Im not saying this set-up will be set and forget, its just that I know how much maintenance (sp*) Mark and Theo do to their cars to keep them in the low 9's (and now high 8's) and i don't posses their time, facilities or budget.

Im in desperate need of some sponsorship $$ to keep this car competing, and without this im not willing to flog the car to death. Im just going to go out and have some fun and high 9's should keep me amused im sure.

Hi Paul,

cheers for the feed back, i have an R32 aswell so all should be good. Nice price on the catch can, does that include the lines and filter media? I'll have to flick Ben an e-mail and get one of these.

Good luck with you quarter goals sure is i nice setup. I hear ya on the time and money.

Nissan gearbox with OS gearset and an NPC twin plate clutch.

The difference between a mid 10 car and a high 9 car is a lot in $$ terms and development, thats why there is lots of 10 sec cars and hardly any 9's. Hope you aware of what you may be getting yourself into, and if so then i wish you all the best and good luck.

the above statement is made with the utmost sincerity.

the OS gearset gonna hold up alrite you think paul?

im very kind to the gearbox (granny shifter) and we redo the synchro's after 50 passes (trade secret to make the OS gearboxes last)

ye understandable totally, i guess realistically i wont see the 9s as i cant be bothered messing with suspension settings all the time trying to get it right etc worth a crack tho i guess, ill try a few times :) im gonna get jim to tune it once my engines in and run in, see how i go.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
