Had / have two falcons

Xr8 and the xr6t

Was hanging around with a bunch of boys from the SA xr and fpv club . One dude had an xr6 t daily and a r32 gtr ( now a full racecar) got talking and was talking about shoe horning an rb neo into an r32.( forumember reading up )

Then I was workkng in sydney for 3 months and started looking at 32 gtrs not at all seriously ......... then somehow impulse bought a 33 gtr :-p

Um well its a bit different and obviously an older car and AWD ( no correcting angles with your right foot ;) )

Bit concerned about safety at this point. First thing I did was got it on a dyno and did oil and flush . coolant fuel filter etc

punched out 252 awkw @15psi ....while misfiring......... then put in Splitfires and a slightly cooler plug and shes all good. a=

major concerns at this point are slight underbody rust, and turbos....ceramic nervousness. given the boost level. Uni group seemed happy with it and its condition.

Once I get my gear up here and get some new tools going to do diffs, transfer and gearbox.

I think the clutch is slipping so that's on the cards at some point.



So in short. I am loving it, but I have some concerns and have had to fork out a bit of cash on it much to the missus disapproval. but the way I look at it is, it's a (long term) project. and I want it clean rather than modded first ( hopefully. though we know how mod bugs are).

Did i read that right ???? R33 LS1.......?????? Right boys fetch the holy water ( old engine oil from a PGC-10 mixed with R35 GTR brake dust) we have an exorcism to perform

I didn't go but I ran into the abom on the way to Brisbane :P

Sounded hot. Would have loved to have taken it on in the Caldina for a couple hundred metres to see if it goes as good as it sounds.

Nick's lucky we met on the Warrego :ph34r: :ph34r:

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
