The only R33 to have a 6 spd was the R33 GTR LM which was originally a 6spd sequential. Was changed to a 5 psd H-pattern for reliability reasons. It also happened to be a real car as it was RWD and 2.8L :)

I did a real bried write up a while ago from some articles in Racecar Engineering Clicky Here

Was speaking to dad last night about the 400r option. we've decided to go the lightweight n1 way, we figure that it if anyone runs a 400r, it won't be much differnt power wise to when race fuel was legal and we were on bp. the car still has full trim (barring the rear seat and stezza), even got carpet where the back seat was. So we'll strip it, and probably get a titanium exaust.

I reckon about the same. Having a look at the results Ben had from the REAL Z Tune when he had it (when he fixed the exhaust and the ECU) it was producing similar power to what mine was and almost identical track times. The only thing I'm not sure about is what effect having to raise the ride height is going to have because I know where it currently is it bottoms out big time on the roads.

But I think it will be alright. I've no doubts in the right hands it would perform really well and in my hands should do a nice job of making me look better than I am (again) :yes:

Keep it Dane. Talking to a Snr Cams guy he was telling me there is a lot of pent up frustration with people applying for rally reg on cars that are not used in formal dirt/tarmac rallies. The rule as for cars like EVOs etc that were sold in OS markets to compete witout formal compliance and rego. Not for guys who import bitzas and want to drive them to the track for a thrashing. Warning i got was if it can be complied then they wont take too kindly to handign out rally reg....but then you get different verdicts from different ppl which is another problem all together

A mate's going through the rally reg thing up here at the moment with a ser 6 RX7.... apparently there'll be no reg for it until it has a CAMS cage in it, which in itself is no big deal, but it's the ongoing stuff needed thats annoying.

Jason got done driving the 34 gtr on rally reg to do the shopping, someone dobbed him in for having what looked like forklift plates on it! lol... came out and the fuzz was wanting a chat about exactly what event he was running at the local woolworths. lol

Yeah I'm keeping the full street reg on my car until I get into trouble for it! Long term it is a much better thing to have than rally reg and for the sake of $200pa or something I say keep it if you can.

Thanks for the opinions guys. The plan was to keep it until the fuzz take it away :) BUT it's just a waste when I never use it, and have paid 2 years worth without eeven driving the thing... but I think you're right, it's worthwhile having but thought if I could get away with a temp reg from Vicroads that'd work out a hell of a lot cheaper.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
