Curious about that too. But I think it might be wise for me fully covered anyway - I generally get fried and tomato-ed by the sun.

Kate burns bad... I do these days, never used to. Spray on sunscreen is great when you dont want greasy steering wheel hands.

No good man! Coming up to volunteer?

I would, but I honestly can't afford it. Unless someone wants to give me a lift up and back on the day.

Supra is my daily and I can't afford to have it off the road. Who knew gearboxes were so damned expensive.

Good news for all you randy melbournites :laugh: - Looks like the Grand re opening weekend for Club Rawhide is the same weekend as DECA :wub: They are still waiting for the liquor licence and I was speaking to someone the other day who said it should be through by then

For those heading up Friday: Rawhide have their big grand opening party :D enjoy :P

well the busted turbo came off last night. working one went on after work today. new coolant...again, just after the new radiator.

gave it a quick run, seems to boost. that is all that counts?? its making a whirling noise, so we will see if it lasts.

nothing leaking. all fueled up and ready to go.

bad luck is spreading, i just found a transmission fluid leak and the trans light flashing again :cool: . i should of known something was going to happen, this always happens to me when i think im ready for something BAM! it goes all wrong :) . i hate my car now, who wants it?

    • 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).
