if my turbo hadn't farked and been replaced with non std, would love to be std 2wd.

Std 2wd looks like good place to aim for, time to check the rules so I don't do anything that bumps me up.

Ok cool... how far are you off working out the remaining calendar? Few things are popping up for August and September already and i'd hate to miss a round because the dates change...

SO Richo and I worked on this today,

and we have finalised out till the end of the year:

the last 3 rounds will be:

AROCA
Sandown
Sunday, August 11
WRX
Calder
Saturday 21st September
Tampered Motorsport
Winton
November 5th - Melbourne Cup Day
there will most likely be a non champ fun day same as last year in Dec.
and not to forget Nats is the end of Nov as well
and the championship is finally updated properly:
Cheers All
oh and my plan is, to be back out for the Nov round. back in Std RWD!

Hey guys,

Couple of questions, sorry if they're obvious but confirmation is betting than assuming!

I'm planning on entering the championship next year in my recently purchased S15 & would like to stay in the standard RWD class for my first year.

In regards to "non OEM aero", I have an Origin roof lip & D-Max ducktail boot lip to go on the car (purely for aesthetics) - will I still be in standard class with those?

It's not proper aero (ie. canards, diffusers, GT wings) but at the same time it's not OEM, so just a little confused on that one!

Also, it's not listed, but is an upgraded AFM (Z32) okay too?

will be running standard injectors & upgraded fuel pump.

thanks lads, thought it be best to get confirmation on a few things before i start modding the car :)

Lindsay.

    • 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.
