MMmmmmmm......... and risk getting smacked around... maybe not. If your definately going, let me know. Maybe we can go together.

Geez thanks guys!! ;) As if I would do that!

On that topic, Dean where are my rims??!!!!!! You said you'd bring them back 2 months ago!! :D Might as well use them at the street meet, you've probably already fried my brand new tyres anyway!! hehe :)

Might come out for a look if everyone is going to compete.

hope to have my car out when got exhaust and cooler fitted

**Thats ST Patricks day**

It's also the day before the Clipsal starts!

Will your gear be on by then Matt?

If you're racing, then I'm going to spectate, and I'm sure we could get Andrew to come out (to watch, not break things), shit I'll basically be living at his place while the Clipsal is on.

will you now Will??? :devil: cool ... will have to get out the ps1 and boxload of games then too :starwars: .... yep if you're running Matt then I'll come out to watch. I'm not running until my Z32 afm, S14 throttle body and Hybrid EBC are fitted and tuned. Then I hope to do a low 12 run and retire from drag racing. I am very afraid my gearbox is going to die - I don't think it has long left :stupid:

yep having Thurs and Friday off - told work to go shove it! Anyone else coming along and wanna hook up to say hi .... Pawley and I caught up last year on one of the ovals and were treated to many photos with lovely ladies walking past ... check out Clipsal 500 2003 pics :)

and this fella ... what can I say :D

dude the more I think about it, the more I think your figure of 200rwkw is good. You still have oem injectors and fuel pump, so the 201rwkw is a reasonable figure I think.

But as you said, since the apprentice tuned our cars, a retune by a more qualified tuner would most likely result in better figures at a safer level.

Fyi, when I spoke with John last week, he said that once I got the Z32 afm in, a retune/remap would cost me about $150.

well the car just feels like shit, everywhere in the rpm range, so im worried somethin is wrong. Plus i will get the ecu retuned by John, its just that i am also gettin a new wastegate actuator, and also a new dump pipe, then i will get it retuned.

Basically ive waited ages to take my car to the drags, so i can wait a bit longer if i have to.

    • 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.
    • 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).
