So I bought my R32 a while ago, and my Mum then decided that as she has done Targa Tasmania with Steve from JustJap many years running and because she liked my car so much, she would also buy a GTR... Told her that the R33 might not have cult following of R32 or R34, but value is heaps better etc etc, so at 50+ my mother goes and buys an R33 GTR V-spec, with about 270awkw.. Therefore faster than my R32.. and looks bloody nice too..

Ok first up,

Your R32 GTR is sitting up ridiculously high, please lower it :cool:

I see you have kept the stock BBS wheels, but I'd change them and get a good offset to fill your guards.

What the hell are those wheels you have on your R33 GTR? :D

They look chrome and are terrible + more low on the R33 would be great.

If I may suggest some wheels such as Rays Engineering Wheels or NISMO LMGT's.

Other then that, it is good to see you have the V-Spec / V-Spec II models as they will be a collectors item any time soon.

Factory Brembo's are aways a bonus on the R32 GTR.

What exhaust is that on the R32 GTR? Is it nice a quiet and still give good exhaust flow?

I have a Veilside Oval shape muffler / cat back, I am yet to put on as it needs a few modifications before it can fit on.

So did you end up taking the GTR's for a drive around Mt. Panorama?

:cheers:

Needs paint first, then it will come down a little bit

Thinking about spacers for the BBS's, same result, keep genuine look

The R33 belongs to my mother, I have told her to get rid of them (came on it) But she reckons she likes them :D

Living in Bathurst, it will probably actually be raised a fraction

R32 will be, R33 there were as many v-specs as non.

I might actually look for something different, it is a little bit dull, computer may help though

We live in Bathurst, so are aware of how much time the boys in blue spend up there, but the shots are from McPhillamy, so did have to do a lap

:mad:

guess you can honestly say to people, "my mum's car would beat yours"!

Which can also be counteracted with the fact it is probably quicker than mine too :laugh:

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By Borci88 · Posted

      Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
