There were plenty of older vipers around when i was living in florida... anywhere from 25k and up.

They are FFFFF UUUU NNNNN !!!! to drive! fairly easy to get parts for too.

... You HAVE to hit up MOROSO motorsport park if your down south.

Hanging out of your turbo comparo.. I'll be ordering my billet goodness as soon as you post up.

Cheers

Justin

Yeh, the turbo comparo is pretty stupid now as its dead money that will just sit in a shed for two years. But i am curious to see how the lil 20 goes with 1.8-2.0bar with the 73HTA and E85. God knows the EVOs keep making power at high pressure ratios with these turbos so :merli:

Well, when it come to the crunch I think I am truly sick of travelling with work so unless its Belgium, Switzerland or Ireland I am not going to bother.

So car has been stranded in Sydney, should be getting it back in the next week or so. In the meantime I have kept myself sane without her by planning this trip to Germany-Belgium with a few friends.

Yeh std 210,000km gearbox. Secret is to use a sprung centre single plate puck clutch and CASTROL SYNTRANS 75W-85.

Cheers for that! Been worrying my gearbox would s**** itself at 200+rwkw, good to see at least one re-assuring result.

    • 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.
    • 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).
