Oh, BTW, those who won prizes at the Stagea 15th Cruise, can you please send me a PM with your name (just your first name is fine if that's all you want - your choice), what prize you won and what for - my mind is failing me.

Oh, and if you know someone who won a prize and you know that they don't get on the forums much, please pass their details on to me (with their permission, of course) or let them know to contact me. Need those last few details for the article.

Let's get some Stagea's to the next Texi ...

Don't let me take away the wagon glory ( I refuse to compare my times to the two doors :whistling: )

Remember it's not all about smoking tyres and rev limiter bouncing, go as hard as you like and the faster times are done with throttle finesse rather then flat to floor.

First timers $35.... very little coin for a fun day out. Also looks like we will have low numbers = lots of runs :thumbsup:

Okay just in case people haven't gotten out of the Stagea section down to the NSW events section, I thought I'd remind everyone of very cool event coming up

Sutton Rd TEXI - 19th May

Have a look, watch the video, feel inspired.

Things to note .

  • You don't need a mega kilawasps car to enter - have a look at the entry lists, there is a Magna and Micra whistling.gif
  • 1 car at time - GO AS HARD AS YOU WANT . feel free to drive like a granny or hard out 100% .
  • Everybody is really friendly and welcoming of noobs, I have no skill and have had nothing but positive feed back and encouragement
  • This is a rare event, get in while you can, it may not be back.
  • It will make Nick happy to see Stags at NSW events - you don't want to make Hulk mad.

No I haven't signed up but will be once I feel rich ( crossing fingers it doesn't sell out ) .

    • 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).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
