Joel SLY 031 ( i think) and a few of us went over to Eastern Creek for the Drift comp.

Massive long trip in a tarago all squished up.

Joel Qualified 1st but got knocked out against another SA driver Eddie Modra due to a fowled spark plug.

Eddie then went through and came 3rd in Super Drift.

Team Peer came out with the Team Drift win.

Team WHeelworx member Linden Reynolds had to drop out of Team Drift due to a suspension compnent breaking just before driving out to the grid.

But Fellow team member of Tarmac Army Tom Monkhouse won the overal competition.

Beating all 3 Peer cars to win the round.

Was awsome watching tom get within 6 inches of the other cars. I believe i saw some yellow paint on his front right rim at one stage aswel.

Just thought i would let SAU members know of SA's Efforts in the latest Drift Australia round

Come on ROund 4 in qld

well done to joel on qualifying top, real shame about the plugs fowling. Good to see an SA boy took out the honours of the weekend though.

And another big well done to another mate of a few of us R31 boys, chris easton, drove the red 31 coupe, making it through to top 16 and taking out denzo on his way there, fair effort.

LOL ease up guys.

    • 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).
