For all those who have been blind for the past 6 weeks or so. A groups of us are heading to the drags tonight at Willowbank near Ipswich. Generally we will be meeting at 6:30-6:45 and race till 9pm. Should get a good number of runs in so come along.

$28 gets you in to race and a passenger as well.

Not a bad turn up, Me, Mick,Slip, MRE, BOOSTMEISTER, Birty, Nismogirl and her quiet partner and a couple of others that I didn't see. Also a guy called Ken in an R34. I ran against him on my last run, I had him all the way then he blew past me about 40 meters from the line and did me by about 0.026. me 14.813 him 14.787. Mick's best was 14.167 so we are continuing our trend of a new personal best each new meet.

Anybody want some TEIN suspension ???? "NOT SUITABLE FOR DRAG"......13.8 Last night but 13.7 is my best so far. My mate in his 180 ran a 13.2 with much less power than me but he has excellant suspension for drag.

I am aiming for a 12 for Jamboree....

Thanks for everyone for turning up, sorry I was late and couldn't spend much time meeting you guys. Next time

Yeah I feel the same cam, but oh well, i love putting her through corners, it's the price we pay I guess.

Oh well, i'll be there next time though. I think I can at least get into the 14's even with the suspension though, just need a good launch. Although....a VG30 Turbo wouldn't hurt :uh-huh:

Yep swap ya my stock suspension for it :(

Cam just put the stockers on with a high profile tire with lower pressure :( that way its still street trim :)

I have Tein springs in my car its very stiff and i got 2.1 60ft's which i could easily better with a new clutch.

All thoes jap cars you seen run street legal slicks.

Thanks man, thats basically what I am going to do....

Stock springs and shocks

17" rims with either, NITTO 555R, Yokohama AVS Sport or AZENIS.

New single plate brass button clutch.

That should be good enough to get me into the 12's with pump fuel.

Willowbank Results

93 R33 SkyLine GTSt 2-Door Auto.

K&N Pod no Other Mods.

60ft 2.377

330ft 6.511

660ft 9.902

1000ft 12.863 @ 115.91 K.P.H

1/4 Mile 15.350 @146.10 K.P.H

For a StockSkyline Auto I am very happy with the times and can only improve with a better exhaust, 2 stage boost 6/12 and a front mount intercooler.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • 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).
