Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

[Roy]

Yeh, I aint big on maintenance and the thought of alloy nuts worries me so I run good olf fashioned steel nuts as well. Albeit pretty Rays ones

I'll one free by then, brisby's GTsT should be rolling again.

What, you have ripped the RB20 out for me Keen to take the old girl for a punt around Wakefield when I collect it. Will need to bring two rims up in the plane and get some semis in Sydney somewhere.

[fatz]

neil link me to your 17mm nuts

one of my rims needs the smaller size to get the socket in

hihihihihihhii

[Neil]

about bloody time you got some decent nuts.

wheels are on and off a race car so often, and they are so damn cheap that there is no excuse for difficult to use, unmatched ones. I hope you bought 5 spares for races that need a wheel change.

any other progress on this old girl?

[Neil]

What ever ya whinging bitch and no I only bought 4 spares.

I must say though tiger I have a new appreciation for my pit-crews work at Wakefield.

I had to remove and fix a little problem with my rear shocks,,,what a pain in the f**king-arse. Roll cages,,,seats and rear top shock mounts in R33's don't mix.

Cheers

Neil.

[Duncan]

lol, the bulk of the credit there go to "the apprentice" and "the thong wearer". I only did the glory work at the hub end.

Angle grinder Neil. It would solve the shock changing problem...

I'll remember to do my stretches before I do that job again!

[Neil]

It's Offical,,,Cheryl is now a race car. Hmmm Cat 3,,,3J and rally car rego,,,shweet.

Cheers

Neil.

:banana: .

[Neil]

It's been ages since an update,,,Cheryl is now competing in the NSW hillclimb championships and quite frankly she's loads of fun. While I'm not used to running last in my class,,,I'm having a ball and getting quicker all the time.

Here's some pics of her engine oil cooler install.

I'll post some more stuff as i catch up.

Cheers

Neil.

Looks good Neil and up to your usual standard of being very tidy with the hose work.

I was of the opinion that you were going dry sump - is that still the case or are you just going for a larger volume with baffles like us?

[MBS206]

So long as at the end of the day, you've got a smile ear to ear, and some other monkey to change your shocks, then that's all that matters! Right?

I'm quite jealous of this car really. Such a basic engine setup, decent suspension and stripped and it just looks so fun out there on the track!!!

Lookin good mate

[fatz]

Hectic

[sav man]

You still planning on coming down and playing in the trees of tassie

[Neil]

Thanks Charles,,,it turned out very nice,,,yep I will be dry sumping Cheryl sometime,,,just not now. The old race budget has been taking a hammering lately so most stuff including tarmac rallys are on hold. The bloody Falcon shitbox died on the way to Wakie a while ago so we had to buy something else and this time it had to be a Nissan,,,hence...

Matt,,,I'm having a ball running the hillclimb champs,,,we've done 5 rounds (including heaps of practice) and she's still running great. Sell all that V8 rubbish and come back from the dark side.

Cheers

Neil.

[MBS206]

Ha ha ha, I'd love to, but then you would have a heap less things to heckle me about

Maybe I need to just buy a cheap as hell R33 GTS-t and strip it again...

[Duncan]

just wanted to say that what Neil has done with this car is really impressive.

It is neither big $$$ nor big HP, but it has been doing a heap of racing and has been super reliable.

There may not be 10x posts a day about it, but you can be sure cherryl is out there and being thrashed regularly which is a great thing.

to you, and to Evil Chris for that matter as well....you guys are doing 1% of the talking but 90% of the racing around here. Hope to join you one day!

[evil_weevil]

bump.

Hows this beast going Neil?

MRA round 1 is 3 weeks time..!

[Neil]

Cheryl's all good Chris,,,I've taken her turbo off and am sending it away for checking,,,other than that I have to weld up a spare diff,,,pass targeted scrutineering and have another year of fun.

I'll be doing another year of hillclimbing mate. Enjoy MRA

Cheers

Neil.
