Sorry to post in here but DirtGarage can u clear your pm box (ive tried pm'ing you for last 3 days without any luck) as its full or alteast check your pm's regarding the money and pm i sent 10 days ago (14th april)

thanks mate

Brad,

Paul Ruzic tells me your controller has been sent...keep your eyes peeled for it as it should be there by now...if not today. I get him to send them direct to save double handling and as yours was an extra one that had to be assembled it took a little longer than usual.

PM's cleared.

I believe that if the car in question that ran the 8sec pass was running GT2540R turbos that they were would have been hi mounted as the older HKS 2540R was avaialble in a kit that hi mounted the turbos I believe. Can anyone confirm as I am not 100% sure. If this is infact true then Berry's and Pauls records would still stand.

Just seems odd to me that there would be such little knowlage about this car as HKS would definatley want to take credit for this achievment. As we all know most records set by GTR's are usually very well documented. Dirt stick the low mounts back on and give it another crack mate. Would bwe great to see just how far the low mounts could be pushed in a set up maximised for the drag strip.

If this can be confirmed id be in for another crack....the car set-up alone would be far more superior now with 'proper' drag suspension and the dogbox. Its still a heavy car so a bit of weight out of it with all the other additions should see the Berry time fall. Holding the car in 3rd gear from just over 1/2 track to finish to keep the car from exceeding 140MPH is also not required now as we are fabricating a parachute set-up while the car is up here in QLD.

Just to note, the Veilside R32 GTR did the 0-300km in the 13 sec bracket.

as i was reading thru this thread its another car that came to mind which set a record a few yrs back (the gold beast) & he misses 3rd gear if u have seen the clip!

Where do you draw the line ? the HKS drag 33 had its 3540's in low mount guise and was running 7's does that make it the fastest lowmount car? What about RIPS NZ they lowmount big turbos aswell do they count? As for records being well documented that is just not true there are actually a few 7 sec GTR's that not many know about like the Duke 33 and a couple of private cars.

in saying low-mounts...maybe it should be bolt-on turbo's.

that is turbo's that are straight bolt on to factory manifolds dumps etc.

its just the term 'low-mounts' is more commonly used thats all

Nismo 400 R N1...i think you will find the HKS R33 had a bit of both (high and low)...ive been over this car top to bottom here's a couple of shots i took.

Im sure when ppl hear the term 'low mounts' we all think of bolt on's....

I know When i hear The term 'Low mounts' i think of bolt on turbo's regardless if its on the tomei manifolds,hks balancing manifold etc...Just as long as they COULD fit the standard manifolds i think classes them as a low mount candidate...

Paul thanks for those pics....Is it just me or is the front turbo's fans chipped? Or is it just the white mark coming off :) ???

they are badly chipped...japanese 'drag' air filters (read none) have this effect on compressor wheels.

i took quite a few photo's while i had access to the car...even took a few carbon panels off which revealed quite a few interesting things. The only thing they wouldn't permit me to do was fire it up, other than that it was open season.

Im sure i posted a thread on here...ill try and find a link for you.

Yep thats what i think aswell, in the setup before that HKS had the front turbo low mounted and the back one a bit higher, guess this current setup was better with the 1/4 times.

Its a shame they retired the car, Im happy for Reece and all, but this HKS car always epitomized the meaning of Drag GTR to me and always will, i hope they decide to sort out the chassis one day and bring her back out to terrorize the blacktop once again.

While we are at old pics Does anyone have the wallpaper size of the HKS 33 in front of the harbor bridge for the Drag combat event, i lost it when my old pc decided to quit on me

paul - this brings back memories for me back about 6yrs ago, my mate has the security contract for autosalon 'premier protection agency' & i was watching over the hks gtr over night - what a night, kinda like scoring with the hottest chick in a nightclub

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
