Nice vids Mark,,,but to tell you the truth I'm not really a Rotor fan. I love Nissans and Porsches,,,just could never afford to race either of them.

Roy,,,you smokin pot or what. Nothing makes the Alfa look slow. It's been at the front of sport sedans for 2 decades. Lots have come and gone but it's always been the front.

If you have a big budget there is a SR20det powered RX7 that is a screamer up for lease.

You obviously didnt see what the Peanut Slab Sierra did to the Aus Sports Sedan grid when it rocked up to events in Aus. Most notable was the Indycar support race years and years ago when it arrived a few days late due to rough seas and didnt qualify...so was forced to start from the back of the grid. It won the race. Carling had a problem with the car which meant he wasnt able to hold him off.

Ditto the Keith Carling 300ZX (Yellow) was a weapon and reports have it that Keith wasnt the worlds greatest steerer. Back in 92 the thing did a 2:13 at Bathurst! Its a record that still holds today.

If anyone decides to throw even a lil' (big) chunk of ca$h at a new motor, it'll be record-smashing galore with the '07 rule revisions.. . . . No more Multi-Valve equivalency rule !

That means 4-Valve heads on 6Litre Chevs, and 3.5Litre turbo/Supercharged 4-Valve motors.

KRIKEY ! Can anyone plonk-down the monnies for a 6L V12 Ferrari engine? Maybe splice 2 RB26DE's together?? :)

Seriously though - can someone gift Me $20k for a race-tuff 2JZ stroker with twin 400hp snails?? :P

Here it is Roy and yes awesome car. I learnt a lot from Phil Ryal who put it together. It had Renault F1 Turbo's with Inconell rear housings and made over 1200hp on engine dyno at 2.2 bar although ran around 800hp racing. Did a 40.9 Oran South and I think high 129 at Eastern Creek and 203mph down Conrod.

When did they start calling the class Super Sedan? Do you mean the Super TT Series run under AMRS? The series that the SAAB is running in is still referred to as Sports Sedans.

Dean Randle had a pretty good start to the season. Although a friend spotted Glen Seton testing the Baily 300ZX at Oran Park recently. So if Baily is getting assistance from Seton with setup, then no doubt the Phil Ryall built ZED will be having a very competitive year.

So many good cars in this years series, next round should be interesting. They really need to get this class back to racing with the V8s. Especially now that GTRs etc are eligibly. I know of a few GTRs that would actually be competitive in the series

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      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?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      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).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
