theres a lot of 'he said' / 'she said'.

sounds like something went on with the time sheets, a 'pen issue' ? lol. but u can always expect the club exec / members to stick up for their own. not a lot you can do except boycott the events in future. were u the guy they accused of doing a burnout / skid as you left ?

Funny stuff josh...He's the same bloke who tried to get up me because i said their motorkhana days werent much good in another thread in the motorsport section.

It's weird though, I dont get motorkhanas...they are just so boring. There is no adrenalin rush, no real time competition, no real racing skill involved. Real racing involves more then one car (but pref about 20)on the track at a time and it must have a start finish line, where the first person to cross it wins after x amount of laps.

Bloody Nora Mike go easy! Real racing also involves a minumum out lay of megabucks and an on going budget that could feed a family.

These are peeps kickin back and havin some weekend fun. Most of them dont earn what it would take to run a real race car so they find their fun as best they can. Having attended a skidpan day I must say theres a lot of fun to be had just buzzin around on a wet track letting it all hang out without fear of having a megadollar breakdown or worse. It may interest you to know that there are some useful driving tips to be gleaned at these days as well. Now get to bed! :)

I agree on your motorkhana view, although I guess it keeps your basic skills and practice up a bit. Can't believed you entered in one though! More so the Gympie one. What class are you racing in at QR? Trying to find a more serious class (EI: not Porsche club day events) for the 911. Want something I have half a chance at ranking a decent position in though, its only hobby and its not a dedicated race car either.

It was in general reference to my own dislike for motorkhanas. I also have attended one and i thought it could have been alot better. They were getting up us for hanging the arse out too much....and i could go on and have a whinge but i couldnt be stuffed.

Noel, ive learnt those tricks already from tear arsing around on wet roads like an idiot in the work utes. From what ive gathered, a more balanced car like a skyline is alot more predictable and gives a shit load more feedback then a stupid toyota hilux with 80% of its weight in the first third of its overall length. You learn a few things about car control from that. Not only that, but from my stupid fixation with Initial D in grade 12 i practied heel/toeing for a few years until i got it down-pat....and then we get a dog box...fate! Moral of the story, motorkhanas are stupid :) There i said it!

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

      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.

      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)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).
