majority of cars on the road dont have stock rims do they? but pits can tell u to put stock ones on to pass..

my experience: the guy at the pits said to me i need permits and then goes on to tell me there is a 2 month waiting list.

meaning: if i dont put it back to stock, by the time i get permits and fix a few other things, high chance car would be un registered.

not all mod's are 'illegal' per say, u just need permits and depending on which inspector u talk too, they will tell you some police officers will hand out yellow stickers wether u have permits or not.

in saying that, now yellow sticker is off im looking into getting some permits - the way i see it, the engineers should be a bit happier to give me permits without a yellow sticker on my window :banana:

Got a set of stock R32 wheels with pirellis and a set of R34 stock wheels with Ling Longs at the shop Tim :(

Ahh wicked man, if I could borrow a set of those sometime next week it'd make my life so so so much easier.

Also Pal by springs do you mean you've got the whole suspension unit/thing or just the springs? Since I've got a set of stock suspension with lowering springs but I'm looking for the most stock suspension I can possibly find after today's "you are not allowed hard suspension" talk from the pits. Or, if you've just got springs man, my old suspension's preeeeetty useless so I'd be happy to donate my bits to form an entirely stock set of coilovers for people to borrow =]

Cheers,

Tim

i need set of 18/17 wheels and tyres preferably matched to pass pits before wednesday 14th

i have a full set of standard struts for r32 gtst too if anyone needs them

contact 0423 187 115

cheers guys

i ask for 17/18s because of my low exhaust clearance, trying to get the car sitting as high as possible.

Oh ok cool Pal could I borrow your springs then man? Since lowering springs=fail...

Also will you want to hold onto anything of mine while I've got 'em? Since I mean... You could in theory have my coilovers, but that'd mean I'd have to change it all over pretty much on your driveway.

^^ dont make much sense dude

set of 17/18's? what on? an r32? why do u think ppl ask for stock rims? u cant always pass pits with rims to big/too wide.

also if ur worried about rim size for exhaust clearance, ur car is too low.

my coilovers wound up are higher then standard items and exhaust is the only issue, because of its poorly made design its sits low. all good for flow etc. but it just sits way to low. if i could afford another catback exhaust id more then happy throw money at people to do this.. but i simply dont at this time being unemployed and let off from my apprenticeship..

I have a 2.75" catback off my 32 that is lying around doing nothing. Welcome to see if it sits any higher.

Aslong as you bring it back.. UNLIKE THE GUY I LENT MY FRONT BAR TO :)

i see what u mean as i saw u few days ago and ur car was so low the exhaust was sparking as u were driving down the road :happy:

my teins also can go higher than stock, but they fail u on anything that is adjsutable that wasnt adjsutable factory, soooo (depending how nice the inspector is) adjustable coilovers prob wont pass dude, if u want to borrow full set of stock r32 ones let me know.

    • 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.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
