Hey All,

I'm Gibbon138 but will answer to Gibbo, Gibbon, Gibbs or on occasion Jake.

I've been into rotaries for years but due to moving into an apartment and losing my garage i've gotten myself an R33 GTS25T S1 (slightly more reliable than the rotaries and way more fuel efficient)

So far the R33 has: 3.5" turbo back exhaust, pod filter, (unknown brand)piggyback ecu, and a massive terrible atmo' venting bov (yes i am getting rid of it, thanks for asking)

So this is Hi.

See you around, or out on the streets.

Cheers

Gibbon138

I'll get the minister for war and finance to lend me her camera so I can get some decent snaps, plans at this point are:

1. plumbed back BOV

2. return flow intercooler

3. airbox for the pod

4. turbo timer, defi boost+oil pressure+water temp guages

5. boost controller + wind boost out to 10psi

6. refinish the wheels (a fair bit of gutter rash on there)

7. 400r (knockoff) bodykit

8. exedy pillow button clutch

9. tien coilovers

10. project mu brakes

and we'll see how we go from there.

I'll attempt to get those snaps this week between work, more likely end up being the weekend though as i'm a night shift worker...

Cheers

G

Yeah thanks man,

The wife is pretty good with most things (it was her that told me to get my R1)

but her camera is another question entirely.

In the big scheme of things I'm hoping for 200rwkw on the stock turbo.

If I have to upgrade the fuel system etc on the way I will but that's more of a "by the way" thing than a

"Ooo ooo New fuel pump" thing.

Once I get sick of 200kw though; further mods are anyone's guess

Cheers

G

Love the look of it mate good work.

Mine will be full matte black with matte black rims in the next few months :yes:

Ha, good stuff man, I look forward to seeing it.

sweet, only looks good if the thing is tuckin a bit of rim, otherwise looks odd. matte black ftw!

There are a few more things than that missing but I agree she does sit a bit high at the mo'

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
