I would rather eat a fresh dog shit than run a 33. :P

See you friday Savman, lets see if you still call me a homo then? Atomic wedgie for you.

Nick, I'll keep it in mind. I'm struggling with the idea of it at the moment.

Yeah they are Andrew.

A couple have been run before. No one having a real crack though. There's no reason why a 33 wouldn't be good, but personally I have doubts over the 25's ability to run six days with a sik amount of knock and ping like my 20 did :P

All this talk about S6/7/8 RX7's, I really didn't like the pedal arrangement, felt cramped and very offset. plus i think from memory the wheel wasn't central to the seat or something? Uncomfortable anyway.

Lets talk FWD... Lol! I reckon Snowman should get back to the idea of a Scirocco or Gti-R Golf or something.

Fact of the matter Damo is they aren't going to move the categories again while certain rear engine $6 figure cars are winning so comfortably, So I can't see the R32 being a "classic" until atleast 2025. By that time either none of us will be Tarmac rallying and therefore not give a shit, the world will run out of oil and we will all be racing in retro hybrids/electrics, or between you, savman, Benny and Roy you will own the last remaining GTSt's in the world and be running your own one make series.

Go figure :P

I wish I knew that...I wouldve kept my high flow and stuff and built the car around that...I guess standard turbos are cheap and easy to fit.

But yeah It would need decent internals in the 25...and not a dirty 30 that im building...might keep the 25 for a rainy day and have a read through the regs.

you'd need to do a heap of oil control mods to keep oil out of the cam covers and catch cans too.

Funny how the R33 is a better car, but no one wants to be seen racing in one

Cos they are the Commodores of skylines, every wanker with a UNIT hat drives one

The 32 GTS-t can hold it's head up and compete in the Early Modern category.

Can you imagine how much different it would have been this year if I was back there with the Plough?

That's right lads, if I hadn't of crashed or broken it, and had somehow retained the world's best navigator, I would have smacked you senseless. :P

I would rather a wart on my dick than an MR2. Every time I've come across one on a stage it's either spinning like a top or already backwards into a tree.

Stick to ya roots Roy.... front engine, rears wheels drives.

RB25 definitely harder to keep alive than a RB20... I should know I had to rebuild my old one twice... good cars if you can get over the whole 33 'stigma'

plenty of bad 32s around too... and don't even get me started on 34 drivers;)

Im on my 3rd one in 3 years....so far a 200 dollar stocky bottom end is doing better than my (and I use the term loosly) "built one"

yeah I 'built' one too... cheaply... didn't end well... actually it didn't start well either, had piston slap from day 1 and ended up spinning a bearing while at the top of 3rd at sandown... lasted a while though... maybe it wasn't a good idea to run the stock ecu with speed cut and instead of shifting to 5th at the end of the straight just leaving it in 4th and banging it off the limiter few times.......... oh and oil coolers are for pussies........ ahhh good times

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
