just thought id let yas know, rained heavily tonight with my car caught outside (visitin my girl), but no probs

first vents line up ove my intercooler piping and seem to run down quite readily away under the car

the 2nd set of vents are alright 2, i was worried maybe of a few exposed electricals that sit lower in the bay but they all came up clear (by that i mean didnt get wet, not got wet but worked still), n if youve ever seen rain in the wet up here youd know its a pretty good test

maybe water sitin in the bay however may promote rust and others nasties over time, so i might make some guttering in the near future anyway just to be safer rather than sorry

also... buying a new kit in the next 2 weeks so yeah, i realise the pics were probably set off a bit by the standard front, but I reckon still looks good, and was planning on the upgrade anyway just yeah.. like i said... decision was made for me with the mates extreme reversing stylings, lol

will post back in about a month i guess when the rest doesnt look so stock, hope it helps yas

that looks good... it seems not as agressive in those pics as I imagined.

What side skirts do you have on? they're a bit different.

Edge sidekirts, CMA style front bar (if I remember right), and some gtr2 rear pods

all from carmate.com

very happy with the overall look, altho may do the mirrors in the future

that many veilside kits up here on r33 (which im not a fan of on the r33 really) and a lot of other front bars didnt really grab me. wanted a unique look, think I got it. Waiting on some LED fog lights to arrive, then I'll shove them on too.

But back to original topic, the hood is good, id rate it ;)

    • 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.
