saw a silver R33 in civic last night that had a bit of panel damage on the right rear, and it was loud!

I saw that one in Civic too, thought it was a couple of ladies (apologies if the driver wasn't a lady and reads this)

Also saw black R33 43E? number plate on Drakeford around 1am, I think he thought I was stalking him cos he started turning without blinkers and in a hurry. I was on my way home buddy, wasn't chasing ya at all.

Yesterday - silver 33 Gtst at Shell servo Phillip getting a service. (Anyone else notice no V Power in Canberra?)

white S2 Gtst with bodykit and gold wheels at the pits.

And dark blue 32 sedan northbound on Monaro Hwy this afternoon.

HAHA yeh mate the series 2 Gtst was me. Got defected bad. Be careful guys, the cops are being real bastards over everything now days. Stay out of civic thursday, friday and saturday nights if you dont want to get done. ITs a real hassle, and costly, $1500 bucks and rising for me.

What did they defect you on? (If you don't mind me asking..)

Oh and towlie, there is no V-Power for about 4 months in Canberra. There was a major issue at the refinery with contaminants or something and they have to flush out the whole thing and make new batches.

Where do i start with the defect. haha.. Ok it was too loud, too low, that gor me a $117 dollar fine. He was going to book me for the noise aswell but didnt. Then he sent me to dickson, so that ment engineering the car completly. starting with my intercooler, wheels and tyres, body kit, steering wheel, tv, turbo timer, coilover suspension, height ect. Had to get a rego exhaust made up, engineers certificate, 4 brand new tyres, hide my computer, my turbo, my boost controller. dont ask me how ai past emissions but i did, and the aftermarket computer. They failed me on my headlights aiming to high, but didnt realise i have a 500hp turbo hanging off it and a computer and a boost controller. So i have to wait till next week to get over dickson again. The funny thing is they give you 14days to clear the defect, yet it takes that long from the time you book it in till you can get into dickson because its so busy. I suggest you book in the day you get defected. So now my rego in suspended and im alot poorer haha.. What a pain in the arse.

Thats gay,

I got through dickson with

Coil over's

Frontmount

Wheels

etc... (the list goes on)

Failed me on noice

and a steering boot, went over 1 week later and pass.

They were really good with me, must of been a good day to go.

They seemed happy that the car wasn't low and overly loud. They just looked at the safty aspect of things.

Silver R33 4door on the monaro this afternoon. Someone hit their horn a few times, not sure if it was the 33 or someone else but they shot past on the right pretty quick.

If it was a gunmetal 32 4dr, twas me, but I didn't toot. I had the right hand lane to myself, the middle lane was slow in taking off from the lights so the car behind him might have tooted him.

I did see you and went to wave, but didn't get a clear shot of you through the cars.

Did you notice the boys in blue a bit further up the road?

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
