Just picked up my car today, Marulan is going to be so much fun with the new found power... Wow... :D

Hope I can avoid spins like mentioned above :)

If you have a boost controller you might want to turn it down. 1.5 BAR is a lot especially if you haven't gotten use to the power level.

My first outing in my GTR at about 280 AWKW I found that when you go in too hot / let off / blow offs kick all boost down / compression breaking kicks in violently + unsettled weight balance on the car = spin off the track. It's only recently that I find myself faster on high boost rather than just 1 BAR.

360 is a heck of a lot of power in a RWD car. Take it easy and learn to be smooth first, then apply the power. Of course you'll shoot down the straight like a bat outta hell!

Haha thanks guys (pezhead, fatz) the car is currently at 325-330 and is nuts... If I have to plumb back the gate I reckon the power will be 320ish and the tyres will be MUCH better so should be ok :)

Yea they will have to stuff a tree up my race cars exhaust to get it under theRe limit

Butt plugs all round eh? Lol....

What are you guys planning? Staying down that way etc?

I would plumb it back in for this track.

There is a noise limit at the track, and if they find themselves over, they pull the offending cars and find ways to quieten them down (As mentioned earlier)

Not running a screamer will help you immediately.

Yea myself and davo74 have a room with a extra bed if you like booze and cuddles

:blink:

Yeah the screamer is stupidly loud, it sounds awesome.... Buts its been designed as a 10min job to flip it back to plumbed back, quite clever!

    • 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).
