Your probably better heading south to a power fc guru down there. Just steer clear of mazworx, they charge like a wounded bull. Chase down Martin Childs, he had his R33 gts-t tuned down south and was singing to the tune of 280rwkw or so on 16psi.

No worries, thanks man. Hadn't heard of Mazworks until now but thanks for the heads-up. Is Martin the fella who owns the silver series 1 (lowered, 19"s, bodykit/no wing)?

At this stage I've been looking at Morpowa, Boostworx, Fours'n'More and Willall. Heard good things about all of them so far, especially Brenton at Fours'n'More who has an excellent reputation over on the Supra forums.

Another thing I've been wondering about is having it tuned at sea level and how much impact it would have on the tune by bringing it 1,775 feet above back to Alice. It'd be cool if it can be compensated for via correction factor etc.

How's your 180sx going anyways Kurt? Haven't seen it around for ages now

Sorry, meant boostworx. Willall would be your best bet. They are usually booked out a bit in advance but there is a very good reason for this. Any good tuner should be able to compensate for the altitude differnce too.

180sx is still in Alice. Ive been getting a few things organised from my end to get the new engine setup up and running. I'm living in Townsville these days, cruising around in a RB20det hilux.

I take the 2.8 turbo diesel Hilux ute to work every morning, the GTRs never ever will get parked in town for any length of time. Yeah the blue 2015 S4 WRX has the baby seat in it. With the new FA20 motors it would still be quicker point to point than anything I've ever driven. They're like an electric car and run 22psi stock.

Short 2.8 is together - sump, front diff to block. Waiting on Tomei cam studs before it all goes together.

Really ? So who's left here ? Alice is shit now, at least we have BP ultimate back and BP drum E85 readily available now.

That said, I'm flat out. Still modifying the 33 GTR v spec with the 2 x GT-SS, / OS giken box, 32 GTR with the Nitto 2.8 / PAR dogbox / PTE6466, 32 GTR with the forged 2.6 / T78-29D (most time consuming bastard at the moment), 2001 WRX motorkhana car and 2015 WRX - and modifying the 2007 SY Territory on the side !

I'm still full time at work with two girls under 3. Covid-19 slowdown, yeah right !

meant that even Kitto's is gone now

Yeah, thought so. Yep Carmello still has the R31. Ozzy still here but doesn't have any Skylines anymore, he's too wrapped up with his shitbox cars with the rally and speedway scene.

I'm probably about 2 years from moving myself, will have to plan it properly first with work transfer.

To follow up the 33 made it 2 years straight outright in the Motorkhana event -

Anyone would think I'm the only GTR in the Territory...

Anyway, anyone seen this ? I think the blue car might have to make an appearance up in Darwin for some roll racing on the Hidden Valley circuit 😃

This event is only 2 weeks before the the 33 will try for 3 years in a row in the Alice Motorkhana. All 3 GTRs have been entered as of today, so looks like a busy August / September this year. Very interested to see if the 32s can match the pace with the 33. The current winner:

I’m back some how remembered my log in, recently purchased another r33 gtst, been sitting for years so needs some work which is Fred old one (sly33) 

@BK gazzanats is definitely a must, went up a few years ago with my burnout car was a good event, was planning on taking it again this year but sold it to buy the skyline, might have to take the skyline if I can get it going in time

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
