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??

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
