not seriously, it has a stock box in it.... at the first drag wombat it ran an 11.9 so he was sent home due to the lack od ANDRA lisence... Peter doesnt care for driving fast in a straight line, he is more of a circuit racer than a drag racer.....

the vehicle was built as a promotional vehicle for his business..... the motor in it was built by Peter personally but actually came out of his old R32 race car he had back in NZ. Rather than build something new, he freshened it up back in 98 and put it in GRACER :):P

Spotted a veeerrrryyyy nice looking r33 gts-25t at campbeltown today, which is saying something as i'm not a fan of the r33 shape.

Dark orange, very low on dark grey 18's with a nice rear bar and skirts, couldn,t see the front. It also had the rear wing replaced with one of the small lip ones that sits flush with the top of the rear guards.

Very impressive.

wilch spotted the old hge 1 I think.

I spotted 3x R31 2 doors, 1x R32 gtst, 2x R33 gtsts, RONIN, SLO200 and Steve's 350z racing at Bathurst on the weekend. Not to mention the local boys Nick and Bill with the 33 gtst and 34 gtt.

Anyone have pics/more info on GTRRRR?

just a neat clean black R32 with some rims and coil overs.... Mike is a member here and may have some pics of the car he wishes to post up as i can never remember where they are to link them....

at about 10:30-11 tonight, spotted a dark 33 with a huge rear wing on blaxland rd, heading towards lane cove road.. i was heading towards epping... hehe.. we passed each other in the dark... i thought it was a 33, but i wasn't 100% till i saw the familiar tail lights.. by then it was too late to wave.. so :wavey: now :D

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
