If its the one I'm thinking of, its a candy apple red colour. Has a GTR front grille and Veilside style front bar. The guy lives just off Grand Junction Road so probably the same car. He has had it for sale for ages.

there is a yellow r33 goin around my area athelstone. Also a blue r32 with licence plate CHUNKY also in athelstone. Ill list more when i come to think of them.

CHUNKY plays on the same footy team I did. Matt is his name.

I seen the yellow series I around there too, but havent seen you too much Dean?

Most drag car's auto?.. i hope you dont mean Imports, if so can i have what you are smoking?

If you are however talking local old school tubbed v8's and the like then yes alot are but its not your run of the mill auto (Insert: talk to Munro here).

No, when I referred to most drag cars I meant as a whole. "Usually" they choose auto as the reliability and accuracy is better.

Less clutch frying and human error (slow gear changes etc).

This morning on the way to work I saw a nice white GTR R33. Black carbon fibre bonnet.

Looked very nice indeed.

Actually i kinda agree, F1s use auto upshifting and some even auto downshifting.

less room for human error.

nooot exactly dragging but still racing.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
