I'd love to try and soldier on, but I don't think I'll be in the right capacity at trying to handle a car at speed, considering I'm often feeling light headed.

I was looking forward to tomorrow too :banana:

that really sucks, of all the times for it to hapen, it hapens now. :banana:

just a quick question though, im just running my every day street tyres tomorrow, whats a good pressure to set them at for the day?

me the same also...

just about to check all my tyre presure's too

i was just gonna run what i do for every day use but maybe drop just a little ??

hey do you think it is better to use an octane booster in the fuel for track day's too??

that really sucks, of all the times for it to hapen, it hapens now. :thumbsup:

just a quick question though, im just running my every day street tyres tomorrow, whats a good pressure to set them at for the day?

I run normal street tyres on mine (275/35r18) and I find that around the mid 30s cold I tend to get a lot of understeer. High 30s low 40s cold seems to be the best so far.

i might give that a shot, i spose its better to start with a higher pressure, then i can just let air out accordingly until it feels right. might be a bit different in the wet though... :thumbsup:

Nice drifting Ben, show them big bad r32gtr can drift :rolleyes:!

:D Thanks mate, had a bit of fun out there today, especially in the end when the track was wet again! Looking forward to seeing the video footage my mate was taking.

Lots of quick cars out there today. I did a 1.26.4 which was way better than I was expecting, first time I've been timed at Sandown. Really happy with how the car went, but still has a bit more to go to be competitive with the other GT-R guys.

We (group 1) were really lucky to get that dry session after lunch, managed to get a 1'27.1. Really happy with that for a first time being timed at Sandown, just a shame there weren't more dry sessions!

well i found out that having stock breaks and street tyres in the wet are terrible to race in...

lol i found it hard to even keep it straight while down gearing.

sorry if i held any of you guys up at all i tryed to stay out of the way as much as possible.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
