but ye ill be there will bring mate along for some good pics and also video camera

sweet so if they ask its being run by SAU ye???

and ye ill enter when i have a car worthy to enter lol

Oh come on dude, no excuses. I'll be entering in a stock auto GT-T - we can be GT-T buddies. If you don't drive I'll be dissapointed.

Edit: just had a read. So I'll need a fire extinguisher, secondary bonnet catch and battery triangle - am I missing anything? :P

Anyone? :P

ok so I'm avalible to do this one.

(fly out at 6 am the next morning)

so sandown kinda scares me, not much run off areas.

if I do the DT will I get timings and be in the club championship?

Or so I just need to enter as the slow group and work up the confidence?

either way I'm there

cheers

martin

Anyone? :thumbsup:

yup, you need to have a fire extinguisher mounted properly in the car (not just screwed into the carpet). i made a bracket with mounts to the seat rails in mine. Blue triangle (just blue electrical tape will do fine) to indicate the battery location in the car, and finally the secondary bonnet restraint. if your bonnet on the car is standard it SHOULD be fine as technically it allready has a secondary latch, because you pop the bonnet with the lever, then you release the catch at the front... (mine is standard and ive never had a problem...) also dont forget, cover all limbs, so long sleaves and proper shoes are important. my mate once forgot about this rule and turned up in a short sleave shirt, he had to go home and get changed...

i think that covers everything you need, oh, most important, HAVE FUN!!!!! :down:

i dont belive there is timing for the DT group.

you could always do the DT this time, get to know the place, then go for timing next time. :down:

its up to you.

Cheers. I've been meaning to get an extinguisher for the '34 for ages, this at least forces me to do so. Can anyone confirm the stock bonnet will pass? Or do I need to go out and buy a leather restraint or similar for it?

Also - the battery triangle - would I be able to use blue Painters Tape instead of duct or electrical tape? It won't hurt my paint and I have that at home.

    • 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).
