I think most people that know me know of my totally awesome dyno queen of a wagon that had to be jacked onto the RE dyno cos it was too low :( Anyway just when she was running nicley with the new engine and all the replacement engine bay bits this happens :huh: The other car turned right through the intersection infront of me and didn't give way, braked and swerved but still hit him square in the back wheel, mashed my car but his only had a few scratches. Suppose at least I did swerve and didn't hit him in the doors, could have been alot worse for his passenger.....

Anyway piccies and a squashed pod :(

ouch mate. are u ok??? nasty damage there. at least he/she was the one at fault

yeah its all ok (i was the passenger).

The crash was like a lesson on exactly the right thing to do during a traffic collision. Both parties were fairly calm, which is good it was a biiiig hit tho...

no one was hurt.

Atleast now you can take the money and buy a skyline, in fact now you can buy anything but a dunnydoor, my hatred of commodores dos'nt show does it?

Hopefully you were insured atleast.

Yeh the other car was a company car so insurance shouldn't be too much of a problem, hopefull I don't get stooged and get a decent payout considering i've just spent so much money on it. Anyway just waiting for a call from his insurance company today and we'll see how it goes.

P.S. If anyones got a shitter for sale I need something to get me to work and back for the time being. Think I might save up a bit more money and buy a discovery :)

      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.

      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)

      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).
