LoL meh wasnt that good!

Congratz to Tai (candy33) for winning 1st prize and $500 in the show and shine!! well deserved Tai!!

I thought the day was OK, but i only stayed for a few hours :P.

Congrates Tai!!! Great talking to you buddy, car looked even better outside, than it did at the AutoSalon. The amount of work done to that car is mind blowing, good to hear that you are being awarded for your hard work and efforts.

Well keep the F1 AutoSalon in mind for 2008, i hope to see you there, and with any luck i'll be there with my car >_<

Thanx guys!!

Yeah i won best overall car in the Pioneer show and shine and receive $500 and even got approached for sponsership :O .

Overall was a good day till about 5pm when it started to get boring and cold.

And AL i'm 100% in for F1 Autosalon.. as you may already know i show my face up to everything. :P

Heres a pic.

that pink r33 i meant is too auto salonish

:blink: Meaning what?

It's a show car and one that has been done properly. Not like most these try hards that pay the $120 entry fee to Autosalon, to enter a "standard" car, or a hack job, then brag to their mates that they have a "show car".................pffft.

Tai is obviously into the show scene, and he has presented a car that is worthy of winning awards. Not everyone wants to be a "boyracer". The amount of time, money, effort and stress Tai has put into his car is commendable.

Look at my car, i probably have spent as much money as Tai, but it still looks stockish; apart from the body colour. That's because i am more interested in motorsport, performance, handling, etc. The driveline and suspension is were most my money has been pumped into. But i still like to have a neatly presented car, so i have added some "show style" aspects that interest me; pearl red paint job, 19" rims, detailed engine bay, etc. At a show, Tai would kick my ass :), as that's what his car has been designed/built for, it is fully customized to attract attention. On the track/motorkahna/twisties though, i'll have the upper hand :P.

Exactly right Al.. thanks and well said.. and for all the people that think its all show and no go, i'm currently building up a hybrid rb30 engine to go in..and don't forget i also have a 'sleeper' r32 gtr to keep the racer boys happy. :)

      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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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).
