Oh and i spotted Veilside R33 (well andrews old r33 anyway) at the crud workshop next too Trojan??? Rego maybe?

Anyway also spotted a grey 32GTR at Trojans and also hear that two more are booked in today for clutches! Who's been playing silly buggers then?

Yeah Andrew (new owner) is having a few little bits done, it turns out that the rubbing noise in my front right wheel when i turned (which i thought was a peice of plastic rubbing on the wheel) is actually a bent steering arm. so he's servicing it and having that fixed.

Yeah - had a bent steering arm and needed to get a new front caster rod etc to move the tyre about an inch or so forward to stop the rubbing.

And yes, would've been next door getting the rego compliance done so I can move it to my name.

Going to get the boost controller fixed up next week too so will running quite a bit more boost from mid next week. Can't wait for that!

Depending on which grey gtr your speaking about one with lip was mine, and the other grey gtr with now lip was from sydney, both in for clutches, so i would be the silly bugger :P

So i will add my own spotted. Spotted me trying to use a twin plate clutch for the first time on the way home from Mitchel

Are you sure you know what a Blue R34 GTR looks like then?

Coz it aint Horrible!

That's the stock v-spec front...

Yes, I know what an R34GTR looks like. I was going to buy one a couple of years back but couldn't find a decent one for sale.

As the guys have already suggested;no,it hasn't got a horrible looking front spoiler,but it does have it's standard V Spec' bodykit in pristine condition. That car is flat out HORN,and there would only be visually-challenged or slightly retarded people in the world that think a standard R34 GT-R looks anything but sex-on-wheels...Maybe you saw someone else?(Exactly how many OTHER Bayside Blue GT-R's could it possibly be?Was it possibly be an R34 GT-T?).Oh,spotted a silver R33 GTS-T threading thriugh the traffic on Limestone Ave on Tuesday morn';whoever it was wouldn't have spotted me-I was on my bike riding to work,clad in Lycre(TM,Patent Pending...LOL)and carbon fibre stuff...

As I already stated, I nearly bought one. I know what an R34 GTR looks like... also the GTR badges were a dead giveaway. If I was looking to buy one for 6 months I think i'd recognise one. It was not a GT-T.

I just looked through google and have yet to see an R34 GTR with the same front grill. I saw stock,vspec and vspecII.

g'day contempt! haven't seen u in a while!

Hiya, been a while. I have just been really busy with work and haven't had much spare time on my hands. That and I usually play indoor cricket or go out Friday nights so I don't get a chance to head out to the museum usually. What time do you guys usually hang out there till on Friday nights?

So,seeing as you know your 34 fronts,and the one you saw looked horrible,now I'm wondering what it actually was...Any other give-aways?

Also spotted a neat R33 GTS in white with split style 5 spoke chrome rims in Civic this arv'-pretty lady with a turtleneck jumper driving...anyone here?

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
