Brilliant.

The cover was enough to make me buy it... havent had a read yet but there is a sexy red R33 GTST with 307 rwkw owned by Denzo the great with a carbon bonnet (woohoo) Vs. a Red RX7.

also noticed a modded RS Stagea wagon mm

Go buy it:uh-huh:

:lol: C'mon Matt it's not too bad for an internally stock 2.5L :)

Mind you it runs a 1.2mm HKS h/g, cams, head work, & every other possible bolt on! I watched this thing do a few 290+rwkw runs that were pretty impressive (@ 1.5 bar I think?).

Important point!!! IF it doesn't still run stock internals, as quoted on the JMS site(& @ the Adelaide Autosalon) then I'm not that impressed.

Its reliability & longevity with ~300rwkw on stock internals is the most interesting factor :uh-huh:

OK! :)

I bought it today. The red GTS-t with carbon fibre bonnet looks omg sexy :eek: ...I didn't think it would suit a red car but that's changed my mind.

pete, yeah that was funny hey! I'm glad they wrote about that...the newspaper article was total crap and it's good to see someone in the media giving them a bagging :)

Yeah, it would be interesting to see how long she does it for... Bloody nice looking car in any case... It's convinced me to order the 400R front bar + carbon bonnet :)

How you been anyway Matt, I haven't heard from you in a while!

It sure does look nice :uh-huh: It's interesting to see just how far stock RB25 internals can go?!

It'd be nice to nail down the maximum safe hp level so we know how far we can push :D Not that it's relevant to you Matt :)

Yeah I'm not too bad mate :D The arrival of :gaga: has kept me busy though. I now look a little like this ---> :coffee:

If you actually read the current issue..

SPEED has probably already receivde quite a few emails/mails about the Integra type R featured in it... (not that we really care about honduh :) )

This is what SPEED replied to one of the loyal readers/buyers:

Hi,

Yeah, quite a few people picked up on that blooper. It's supposed to be 169km/h. We'll publish a retraction next issue.

Hope you liked the rest of the magazine.

Cheers,

Curt Dupriez

I'v read it at newsagent.. Ralph/FHM seems to be good reading too.. :)

im not sure if its a mistake, but with the integra type R, it says "Power is now 108kw at the wheels, thanks to $30,000 of go-fast components" now that is a damn lot of $$$$$$ to spend to get 108kw at the wheels. i thought that the type R would have that much power normally. or are honda's that weak? hehe.

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢
