Well guys....it's on again, Our entry forms go in tomorrow. Due to the day being changed from Sun to Sat we have lost 2 of our drivers so Mick and I will be going it alone this year.

We did post in the Qld forum looking for another car and driver or 2, but no takers.

We need a new set of tyres The O32R we ran last year are not available,and, it's proving dificult to get anything else in the sizes we want.

We are now thinking of going full slick and praying for nil rain on the day (yes, it did rain for a short while last year)

Has anyone tried out Dunlop D11s...that would seem to be the choice, 265 on the back and 240 on the front

cheers Jay

bugger, I have missed this again this year....hoping to drag the car up there next year.

The yoko a032r weren't great tyres so dont worry about them....what size are you looking for? Dunlop DZ03 were the tyre of choice at Targa, other decent ones are bridegstone re55 (if its pretty dry) or toyo 888. yoko a048r replaced the 32 and are probably available but they are just as expensive and bad

Good luck Jay

Duncan I'll post a bit earlier next year. Maybe we could team up and run as Team Skyline Racing :blink:

We have 17x81/2 front and 91/2 rear can't get over 255 in anything. So we are thinking of the Dunlop D11s in 240.625 front and 265.625 rear.

i'll have to check if any of my friends are bringing their porches out. Wayne was meant to bring his 996GT2R out last year but had overheating issues in the test sessions building up to it so pulled the pin.

like last year it looks like a good event. wish i could be up there (and have a car to run)

good luck 51jay

hmm I've never had the pleasure of running on new slicks (although I do have a set under the bench I am itching to try).

But I get the impression they won't be worth more than say 1 sec over semi slicks, and you run the risk you will have to watch everyone else driving around if it rains :P

Anyway, let us know how you go, good luck!

      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?

      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.
