i dont have to press a button when i want the power to come on and i only have to fill my tank up every 500km's

You have a turbo, how could you not believe in NOS?

It's the same principle

great work trent! the owner must be crazy havin that as a daily. hilarious if someone in their fully siked up astra or somethin revs him up at the lights then BOOM.... skyline already at next bloody city.

nice work Trent, i suppose u used the good old gizmo kmon to tune this beast? i still havent got around to sorting my K-mon i bought off you, i think u need to come to Perth and sort it for me :P

and the comments on dogboxes and street driving from people, i think they drive rather nice i think 99% of comments are from hear say and not from experience, my dogbox is fine to drive around, its straight cut though which is more of a pain that the actual driving technique. I find it easy once u learn to downshift correctly, the upshifts are smooth and slow if u want or super fast if u wanna slam gears :)

so rwd... at 5,000rpm at a meak 250ish hp...by 6,200rpm its at a monsterours 920is hp and +....

in the wet.... not that you want want to go a smidge over 5g's...but what... like straight into a tree... spin out completly... or into the 4th dimension? still trying to work that out...

just a serious question though.... the torque difference from 350s to 1030s.... in a second... the impact of that on a body? like a space shuttle launch? trying to imagine it cuz I would have never felt that form of acceleration before...

also.. with the torque... couldnt it twist the body a little?

    • 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).
