Im sure my car is going to hate me after this morning. Had the 33 for about a year and a half and decided its mothers day so what the hell. Mums been looking at buying a small sports car for herself (mx5 mainly).

So i thought i would let her drive the line for a while this morning. Well she hastn driven a manual in about 5 years apparently, needless to say clutch got rode a fair bit but at one point i just about shit bricks she was almost on the limiter riding the clutch, anybody else i would have screamed my head off but she was pretty nervous as it was.

The clutch smell was so bad took 5 mins to get out of the car. All seems good though i got her to swap back with me and took her for a spirited drive. really enjoyed herself.

anyways just thought i would vent that lil

yeah man but still made my heart sink into my stomach hearing my baby screaming and whining like that was like nails on a chalk board.

Ive told mum when she buys her mx5 coz she wants a manual that i will have to re teach her how to drive one properly.

lol i can go from about 300kms from a tank to 400km driving the same and by just adjusting my EBC from 14PSI to the lowest setting which is lower than the actuator so i drive around with the gate fully open all the time and get like no boost and if im trying and getting up around 6k i can just manage to get like 7psi

and if i drive like an old lady as well on low boost i can get up to 500km

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
