Looks like feature article will be published in High Performance Import issue #134, that is in April 2011. However, I don't think it made it on the front cover.

Looking forward to seeing it in print

Cheers

I see your car has a sneaky little pic of the wheel in this months HPI in The Ultimate GTR story. Regarded as "The absolute perfect wheel, offset, tyre and brake combination."

Looks Great can't wait to see the full feature. :thumbsup:

Cheers

Its amazing how the 32, 33, 34 GTRs are still featured so prominently and regularly in HPI magazine.

The engine emblem shot on page 62 and certainly as pointed out, the wheel and brake picture are of my car in No130 HPI.

Its uber cool to see shots of any part of your car in a publication!!

Geez, I am keen today, my third consecutive post.

Remember a while back, I bought a set of Fabulous Expand Racing A forged rims in 19X10.5 +20 dimension from Yahoo japan through Import Monster. These may be the only photos ever documented of a set fitted on a R34 GTR. The look is quite unique, exclusive and the offset is spot on; they clear the AP calipers no problems at all. Certainly NOT the VIP look that one may expect from Fabulous wheels.

These rims actually weigh less than my TE37s.

I will let the photos do the talking:

That's certainly true :)

Look forward to seeing your car featured in HPI

GL with the sale too. An awesome car at a bargain price.

    • 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).
