would be good if there was one NOR..

sucks having to drive almost an hour to get home on a week night.

It's different for me as I enjoyed driving my car last time every time :D

Lets just say.. when im bored, i'll pretty much find a place or reason to drive :P

It was packed. Still got 4 runs in though which suited me as it gave me time to pause and reflect before it came around again.

[email protected] <-- all wheels spinning off the line and screwed up the shift to second..

[email protected] <-- I attempted to do a burnout, pathetically, but nothing to lose. Didn't even bother for the previous 3 runs.

Not to bad for my first ever go at the drags. I might have to replace my tyres though.. those $110 each ones on the back didn't help me at all :P.

Real good fun.. only one problem. I might be hooked.

ps best 60' of the night was 2.228 on the last run.

Which car was yours?

My 4 runs for the night:

[email protected] <-- completely balls'd up, no launch

[email protected] <-- there we go, PB

[email protected] <-- again not enough launch

[email protected] <-- ooops too many revs...

Best 60' time was 2.287 sec, on the 14.349 sec run. MPH says I can go faster times, was my 3rd time ever, only have cat-back and pod... probably won't go down monday though, and hold off until after SAFC gets installed and tuned.

I'm probably going to head down either next week or the week after to see what my car runs before it comes off the road. Anyone else want to reprezent with me?

Ill come down for a looksee. If i am your support crew, should i wear that Lyrca outfit again? :)

    • 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).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
