LOL

Can we make a FWD class? It'd seriously be awesome. I'd have no chance against you though, so maybe not :thumbsup:

Yeah, well, just bein honest lol. For a car I wash weekly and depend on to get to work, I'll take the scenic route around the wangs thank you!

I don't reccommend taking in the scenery on the wangs, it can be an expensive holiday :cool:

haha i was there only for the style points :thumbsup:

Next deca dont worry :cool: Ill bring the proper tyres haha

oh no i am so scared :yes: although the next DECA will be during uni exams so will have to be August DECA or NDSOC/FPV deca...

It's turbo ;)

But OMFG, well done to Marcus and Clive.

oh, well in that case he is disqualified from NA class... how about the 180b datsun? is that NA or is it running a CA/SR turbo?

If we make a FWD class then I think there should be a class for NA RWD cars over 1500kg too...

Firmans 180b is now turbo.

We could always have a boat class... 330's, supras, R33's, commodores.... :)

What a great day in the history of the automobile !

Shitty Teins which are not as good as Bilsteins blah, blah, blah, lowly std RB20 with about 1.5bar up it, lowly rwd and no ass tickling, homo controlled awd system...well done Russ, finally someone with some talent rather then space cadets who are NASA rejects wins at DECA ! :)

LOL I could tell, you seemed to be making good use of your good leg to drag yourself around instead of using the hand wheels!

LOL thanks buddy, although lots of people were going to push me around on the skidpan i didnt get the oportunity :(

How the hell did you fit a 6 cylinder in there?

Mitsubishi fitted a V6 into the lancers in the late 90's i have serviced and driven one from a guy who works at Bosch in Clayton. Its a imported CE 4 door sedan, FWD, and yeh has basicly a non mivec 2litre v6

Firmans 180b is now turbo.

We could always have a boat class... 330's, supras, R33's, commodores.... :)

i was going to say congrats russ on the effort but you just called a commodore a boat, funny the first time i drove a skyline i thought i needed a boat license. i'd take a VL over a R31 any day on that topic but hey thats me :)

oh just wait i can see response's and i don't care this is my opinion and you didn't ask for it. :huh: it's a forum so :yes::D:P

Congrats Russ! Well done mate, and well deserved to a top bloke and awesome driver - way to represent the RB20 community! Wish I could've come down to at least spectate, but had to work and in addition got some new tyres I didn't want to mince! Might've had 4 R32's in the top 5 otherwise :)

I have to say after that day I am very tempted to go buy an R32. Not only did they perform awesomely (I told you on the day Russell that when I was timing your car literally shot out of the gate like it wasn't on a skidpan) but they looked and sounded amazing.

Only thing deterring me is their age and my lack of mechanical expertise, still I am tempted.

Yep but I've owned just as many commodores and falcons as skylines. Much prefer to drive my 'boat' around than my skyline. :D

Shame Russ shame :)

If I could make 300 with an RB20 you know it'd stay in there!

i was more refering to r31's, never driven a R32 on the road just on and off hoist's and parking, im going to try not touch the whole owned cars bit, iv'e only owned 1 falcon (crushed it after 2 days) and 1 R33 which i resold a month later, but ive driven my fair shair of cars and then some as a mechanic :O

maybe i should enter my work ute next time and write "BOAT" on the back instead of "milk, bread cookies and cream" like whats on my silvia

:P

for some reason i can foresee alot of R32's at the next deca

oh i almost forgot, random note i almost bought a R32 gtr before i bought my silvia lol

clives result is damn good, didn't think the lancer was that quick. hopefully you ll be able to sort out all the bs with the engine builder and get the evo back on the track.

do you have a thread about the lancer, interested in all the work that's been done to it.

good day, interesting results.

Good to see the results. Congrats to the winners!

Have to say I'm pretty impressed with the old VL turbo. Once I got Ryan to actually try and drive quick (instead of rip[ping skids and drifting!) he didn't do to bad. Now he's got to fix the rooted lsd, and rear suspension bushes. The clunk in the rear was pretty rough haha! I reckon there's a lot in it yet!

Thanks Peter.

I haven't started a thread on the CE because the EVO is supposed to be the competition car, but it will be running again at PI this Saturday so hopefully it makes it through the day without incident.

I have been promised by the workshop that the EVO engine will be finished BEFORE the end of April so should be back on the tracks after a couple of thousand kms for a run-in and a re-tune.

Either way I will have a Lancer of some sort at the next DECA and most of the WRX/SAU track days this year.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).
