lol your bro rarely goes to school?

Yeah, they badass. Wagging 4 lyf, yo. (My y12 motto 1/4 of the time, anyway xD).

Nah, it's only really if I'm free and for some reason my mum or dad can't take them. Considering it's in the opposite direction to both work and uni, it's never "on the way" :P

Haha can't wait to get out there but I need to get myself and the car ready!

I haven't had a car for a year so i feel like i'm learning how to drive again!

What do I need to do to get my car ready for track? Some things I have seen;

  1. fire extinguisher
  2. helmet
  3. mark battery location somehow???
  4. new brake pads for track use so I dont get brake fade after 2 laps?
  5. Engine oil cooling improved?

Help me get her ready so I can beat your asses on the track :P

ALSO I need a tune BADLY, running rich and getting <300km per tank anyone got any info for me? on price/contacts tips? Car has Apexi Power FC

I have some little thing which gives me readings between like 12.0 and 17.0 (rough estimates cant really see it while driving) is that the thing that is supposed to be hooked up to the O2 sensor? It's also my turbo timer. I have an Apexi Power FC.

I was looking at getting a wideband is that the same and/or better than an O2 sensor?

The guy I bought it off said it needed a tune, how can I tell if it's the O2 sensor or it just needs a tune or is it a case of needing both? I'm super noob i'm just learning now.

Should have an inner eastern suburbs meet up. Balwyn maccas br0s lol.

Honestly not sure if there are any exact ways to tell, but the engine light I'd assume could light up. The only way i knew it was mine was I put two and two together. Personally I don't know a lot about wideband, but there are some threads on it I'm sure.

Cams licence, properly mounted fire extinguisher, helmet & stickers then off you go

As for tuners. Chequered is closing soon so Racepace, Chasers Eastside, Sabbadin Automotive all of which will look after you and give you a discount if you are a financially paid SAU VIC member

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • 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.
