Not much...matts R33gtst

Yeh for sure, Matts car would be ideal for this, Maybe ring up Boostworx and get his number, or PM "whatisname" on here!! :thumbsup:

NO

GOLD

head over to ns, awesome cars there, and some of the dudes on there are the nicest guys youll ever meet, not wankers at all.

You serious??

LOL, a nice lot of lil girls with pink cars, big bling wheels and all share the same bed

Ahhhhhh BANG!! Even GOLDER!! :P

You thought about doing like a little write up on maybe 6 or 7 cars in a group for SAU SA as in like a club style!! Instead of just 3 pages on just 1 car!! It could just help us get a few more numbers to get this club off the ground, advertise the dyno day and more so the "club sign up"!!

Just some thoughts!!

my brothers got a car, ppl here gonna knock it but its a suzuki swift with a turbo put on there, running over 20psi cant remember the exact psi but it's defenately over that (it's like 1 of the top 10 fastest in the country) when its gripping its as quick as my GTR although grip is a bit of an issue when you got that much power and fwd. not to worry though he's still spanking many a brand new v8 with it, pretty funny how emotional they get after losing to a 1.3L more funny when they call it a girls car first or something along those lines.

its got a full body kit and fresh paint and big rims should be the goods, the interior pretty basic just bits coloured, it's been lowered with coil overs and has sway bar n strut brace, along with a brake upgrade naturally, o and exhaust if you didnt already assume. i don't know all the details im an accountant not a mechanic :thumbsup:

o and its never been in a magazine before and from what ive seen of swifts in mags they aint got sh*t on my bro's it's had alot of money i think my entire family wishes he didnt spend on it.

and to anyone that's about to knock his car try taking him down on devils elbow cause i sure as hell can't

he did wanna get it in a magazine while the paint is still nice n mint so ill have a talk to him if your interested. just let me know if you need to know more.

o and people don't go warning your bogan friends bout this car, he likes them to think he's just a ricer when he pulls up next to them. :laughing-smiley-014: makes it all the more funny when they get whipped.

Nice one joel..... hows your gearbox gonna handle that???? rb25 gearbox....

I've got a rb25t gearbox in it.

I'm more worried about how the single plate will handle it. It 'apparently' is able to handle 330-350rwkw behind a GTR so given mine is rwd time will tell.

+2 for whatsisname; Grim's R32 + 260RS; & puresx if they haven't already done so - they'd all meet the mags criteria.

Andrew - notice SAU-NSW is getting a bit of coverage in HPI since your write up for the S'n'S :thumbsup: & awesome to see Malcolm's 2500R :P finally getting noticed.

Some of the Munromobiles may be interested in re-gracing magazine pages in their current forms if you were to contact him.

They may not too, this is merely my own thoughts and these thoughts are not endorsed by the cars owner or their representatives.

To a degree, lot of crap there too, cruzin33 sumed half of the cars up there!! Not to say there isn't here!! BUT all the cars on NS every man and his dog knows about, need to find some others out there!

guess sarcasm doesnt work on forums.

i was joking.

Now Ted: If you had been reading forum etiquette on ns.com you would know that itallics is the protocol for sarcasm.

I have a big foot would really mean:

I have a small foot

etc..

Thus ends todays lesson

:D:rofl::wub:

yes I agree with Chops - I am sure Munro wouldn't mind his R33GTR streeter and/or R33GTR race car to reappear in HPI (they haven't been in HPI for a few years). The streeter is only running about 400rwkw atm, with the racecar making seriously more. Both are extremely tidy indeed! The racecar is now Ford Blue - the XR6t colour). FYI his racecar is still one of the fastes in the country with a very low 9 second pass.

+3 for Whatsisname's R33 - it is an absolute stunner in every respect.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
