The DiRTgarage GTR of Paul and Stacey Diemar is to be retired from racing soon due to the inability to attract a major sponsor or workshop backing. This decision is made with the utmost regret but was, and is necessary due to the new arrival of baby Elsie. The financial commitment to continue with the car is something that we are not able fully support. The car will be "mothballed" for a 12 month period and the decision will be made then whether to return to the track. The car is due to appear on the cover of HPI and a full shoot and cover of Ignition DVD and one more track day to be announced as the final runs for the car.

The cars most recent outing at WSID was world class and set a new benchmark for street orientated GTR's with a best of 9.97 @138 MPH 1.41 60'

The car is 7th overall in the HPI drag records and is mixing it with such names as Jacobsen, Wilson, Munro, Woolett and Garcia. Its the only privateer car in the list and/or the only one without heavy sponsorship or workshop backing.

A big thanks to the Australian Skyline community for their support in us and our car

cheers

Paul and Stace

good call Paul, it takes balls to say you've reached your goal and enoughs enough. Race cars are bottomless money pits that always cause compromise in other important parts of your life

well done acheiving what you have

no way... Thats sad to hear..

best of luck getting sponsors so we can see you back out on the track again

We have a proffesional "sponsor pack" that we are circulating. Also since posting this thread two organisations have displayed a keen interest in a partnership with us on an event by event basis.

So we will have to wait and see if its something we can both benefit from.

"twoogle" is the nickname given to the car...our number plate TWO:06L was misread by a mate to read twoogl, he started it and it just grew from there. Its even listed in Fast Fours drag records list as "twoogle"

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
