Did you unload the bike without any probs?

Def some awesome street machines there. Bruno cleaned up with his 55 Chev ... 8 awards and the top honour itself!!!!!

yeah mate it went very smooth, unlike the loading on where I chipped the bottom of the front fender again, lol

wow, that is one awsome chopper.

if you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to get all the custom parts for it.

PM me if u dont want it public.

But wow that thing is sexual.

thanks bud..........all I'll say is, the back wheel is worth more than 1/2 the cars on this forum

I wasn't going to mention that ... but seeing as you did ... time to trim a bit more off then? :laugh:

My camera is a bit funny with shiny toys and lighting sometimes. Doesn't focus properly ... but it is an Olympus :P

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

No money won but apart from the trophy, I managed to score a complimentary bag full of Meguiars product.

As far as power is concerned Damo, approx 100hp according to manufacturer's specs but it's more of a torque monster and as Dan said, it'll tow a road train.

I'll try & load up some pics now.

I should have entered the Brutale eh Pete? :laugh: Only one european bike entrant in the (other) bike show. Might even think about entering the TLR into it again with its new Rizla looks ... after some of the guys were asking why it hasnt been in the show for the last 2 years :P

Shoulda stuck around for the awards.

Cara took out best graphics!

And the man Pete took out Best chopper ...

yeah congrats thats a sweet bike sled :( you deffinatley deserved to win.

ps did you take her home with the bike? :) if so thats 2 sweet rides you've got now :D

i thought it was pretty crap this year, didnt appeal to me this year.

but the funniest thing was they where all talking up the vx clubby saying it should be around 300rwkw's and when they put it on the dyno it struggled to make 212rwkw's which was its top read out, but before they had that on they had the D&T old datto ute on there and that made 198rwkw and that was only a 4 banger, everyone was laughing at the clubby when it got that read out haha!

ok your wrong i was working on the tyrepower stand where the vx clubby came from the owner of the car wasn't there so troy the manager of the stand took the car to the dyno told the announer that it should make 200kws not 300

seams to me 212kws is more then that also it made 220kws later in the day, should have made more but the limter was set to 5500 somehow and it was running like poo

also the d&t datto ute is a mitsubishi and its a gen 3 v8 not a 4 banger

please get your facts right next time

    • 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).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
