and the bay and where ever else i got but any way im still young^^

So I take it you are from Adelaide? since it looks as though it's got SA number plates also.

You say your young, but where abouts have you run an 11 second quater? We haven't had a running 1/4 mile track anywhere near Adelaide for around 5 years. Plus 250kw on a standard turbo (somehow??) in a boat like R33 doesnt really add up to an 11second pass.

I have a book about how to tune i read it and just add some thing else and still runin stock turbo :) took all stuff out of my boot u can do an 11 sec pass with 200rwkw all really need is a good set up

Ok, the "book" you are reffering to is the issue of HPI when they talk about doing an 11 second pass on a RB25 Skyline and how to achieve it.

First thing's first, if you are running the stock turbo with a great tune, good amount of boost and everything else is up to scratch you will be running around 200rwkw if your lucky.

Depending on your mods (ie if your car doesnt have a tune you have no hope) you could be anywhere from 170-200rwkw. So your figure of 250rwkw is WAY out.

Second that HPI issue was a bit missleading (probably possible, but very few cars perfectly setup can do such a thing, way to many variables), most stock turbo

skylines with a tune and good setup crack into 13 second passes. Yours would most likely would be in the 14's, so once again, way off 11 seconds champ.

Not trying to hang shit on you mate, just trying to educate you a bit so you don't go around saying stupid things.

There is not 38 grands worth of car there

I also know what a stock turbo'd R33 is capable of and it definently not 250rwkw and most definently not an 11second 1/4

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
