Yep there is a few of us here Gary silver R32 GTR myself dark grey R33 GTR and i think Aaron Harliquin R32 GTR is on here as well . Might even be a few GTSt owners as well there is plenty of them getting around so no doubt there would be a few on here.

Hi Farside what car do you drive?

I am picking my new car up today from Transport. Exterior wise the car is standard, Super Silver GTR.

It has a fresh motor, new highflow turbos with steel turbines, 600cc injectors, Apexi Power FC, K&N pod filters and Exhaust. I dont plan on modifying the car anymore than it is.

My name is Jonathan if you see me around town say hello, Im very interested to see your guys cars.

Almost all of the Townsville GTR owners are here. There will be three R32 GTR's including mine in town. I am unsure how many R33 GTR's there are.

The truck delivering my car has been delayed and wont be arriving until 6pm tonight. I cant pick it up until tomorrow morning now. :D

Yes that would be mine on ross river road except it is dark grey pearl not black never owned an s15 used to own a black wrx and a black 300zx tt before that . Pretty sure there are 3 R33 GTR's in town midnight purple owned by some sort of doctor my grey one and another white one which is for sale the owner is sick of it breaking so he is getting rid of it.

HKS 2540 turbos, HKS dump pipes, power fc,AVCR boost controller,Apexi coilovers, HKS cam gears, HKS fuel rail, sard 700cc injectors,boshe 044 fuel pump,HKS intercooler pipeing kit,Nismo twin plate clutch,Nismo fuel reg,all Nismo speedo and 3 center gauges, GReedy electronic exhuast temp and boost gauges and holder, C's quick shifter,HKS super drager exhaust, HKS front pipe , HKS super power flow air filter kit , 80mm afm's,Cusco 3ltr oil catch tank,115mm custom intercooler i think thats about it off the top of my head.Ran 320rwkw on only 1.3 bar and has run 11.44 @122.95 with the boost controller not really setup right so should be able to run a few tenths quicker hopefully.

Services are done by Hammonds Automotive he is a family friend and i trust him so i wont let anyone else in Townsville touch it after a drama with Bob Hawkins . All mods were done by Gavin Woods on the Gold Coast anything major happens it goes to him.

I got the car yesterday morning it drives great. Unbelievable to drive.

I dont think the aircon liked the Townsville weather yesterday. I think I killed something, getting it checked out.

The only things im chasing now is a Replacement mag and a left air vent. They were both outstanding items when I bought the car, price was adjusted accordingly on the purchase price. Already got them put aside at Japparts Sydney. Is there a closer place to go for spares? at decent prices

The cars going great, alot better than the calais. Im used to slowing down for every corner and bump, when this thing just flies through them.

The Air Con compressor died. Theres a bung type thing in the back that just leaks the gas out now whenever we pump it up. I now need to find a R12 compressor for my car. Im going to try a few places today, we removed it yesterday after finding where the leak was.

I wont be driving it this week though. I left the car in the garage at my gf's cause the air flow meter is also cracked, has been repaired in the past. Its on the inlet side and is doing the job, but im going to fix it while im getting the ac up and running again.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
