Munro - you wouldn't happen to own that silver R33 GTR with TD-06's that was in zoom ages ago ???

Nissaner don't change when it hits the rev limiter otherwise it will bog.... keep your foot in to till you get traction and reach the speed you normal change gears at..

Fatz is a sore losser :shake:

No. That TD06 car belongs to Doug Dinan.I have driven it though.

9500rpm 1st,2nd,&3rd & it flies.Should of seen the grandma on the sidewalk jumping over the fence to avoid the blur!Probably

thought it was a jet landing or something!The TD06s dont come on boost till around 6000rpm so you have to rev the hell out of it to get a useful power band.His car was the inspiration for mine.

Although I seem to have lost the plot somewhere along the way!

My car is on page 26 of HPI no.24 & page 60 of Zoom no. 54.

Due to the 3 litre capacity & smallish? 2835R turbos it comes on

much earlier(around 4500rpm) & the push in the back is awesome.

Doug's car has just had a fresh engine build by Adelaide Engine

Developments so I'll have to watch out next time I run into him

on the street with my R33!!! HaHa:uh-huh:

Doug is a helicopter pilot so he is really good at low flying.:)

Another mate, Kier Wilson, has also had an OS 3 litre engine fitted

to his R32 GTR so Adelaide certainly has some sick GTRs around the place.Looking forward to summer.It will be good to get these

3 GTRs together for some WRX hunting.:shake:

Munro.

Kier cars is the one that ran 10.6 ??

2835R's DAM thats some tasty turbos ;) 4500rpm seem pretty dam good for thoes turbo's to come on !! what does she rev to ??

I don't have any of thoes mag issues :) don't suppose you could post a picture ??? i would love to see more of your beast !!

When you and Doug have a little run in please for the love of god film it :P nothing better then watching 2 tuff GTR's fight it out :uh-huh:

Guys I did a few launches in the GTR last nite.

I tried 6500 and it seemed oookay... nothing spectacular. I still felt it bogged a bit. Then 5000 it was very slow off the mark. I also found that with the 6500 launch the car got traction pretty quick and then I tapped out in 1st gear before I realised it and shifted to 2nd.... probably lost me half a second...

My car is standard with exhaust and boost restrictor removed... when we talk about redline lauches are we talking 7000, 8000 or in between???

Also how much abuse can the clutch take before it dies??

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
