They obviously don't have too much mechanical simpathy in this magazine... "for 11s, hold the GTR at rev limit for 5 seconds and drop the clutch". Ouch! Otherwise, it's not a bad read... I'm interested to see Ignition DVD again when it has the next installment of the Tskuba trip of the Hi Octane GTR :laugh:

Did anyone else find it a bit weird them saying you only need 230rwkw out of a GTST to do an 11 second pass? Has anyone ran a 11 second pass with only 230rwkw?

I do know someone who had an R33 GTST with 210rwkw and ran a best of 12.0 with just a little wheelspin. Then, on what turned out to be his last run of the night, he hooked up really well off the line only to break a non-genuine uni joint!

did anyone catch the american r33 gtr on the ignition dvd. 1000hp of goodness and boy does that thing go. check out the in car shot when he dumps it on the street.

P.S. Blitz, your car is a absolute stunner. well done :)

can be - if ur running front runners and Mickey Thompson or the like on the back

i know of a certain 33gts-t that has around 550rwhp and ran 11.4

one of the only times he ran MT's on the back he nearly sent it sideways into the wall

reason it doesnt run quicker is boosts too late (full boost by 4500rpm with *i think* 8000rpm rev limit)

anyway - gonna have to try to get the mag 2morrow then hey

I love getting the free ignition dvd each month.

The female hosts are stunners!... although the present one and the past one both look the same!!! I think they even have the same name and initials if I recall correctly; Kirsty Allen & Kirsty Ambrush ?....

Only thing is, I seriously question how much they both know about cars, other than just being a pretty face.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
