Sounds a bit arbitrary. You would have to be experiencing quite a few G's as well. What is fairly common is loss of oil pressure on slicks with GTR's, so with those tyres of yours you would be running close to the limit, but given the oil cooler should be fairly safe. Road tyres (like mine :)) would be fairly safe from what I have found in my searches on the topic.

To be honest it shouldn't be too hard to simulate the oil motion in the sump to determine the critical sump level. Might waste some time on that when I'm done on the conrods.

What has Ben had to say about it (since you started dropping names)?

BTW I have been black flagged due to loss of support from the finance manager, who managed to drop another $1500 on furniture yesterday, so have a good weekend.

Geoff.... Furniture???? I know your pain, i just spent about 8k on crap for the house :)

At the minute there may be someone coming with me on the Friday to help dial in my susp setup for the Sprint on Sunday, if he isnt able to make it then you are welcome to come up and ride shotgun in my car, hell even do a few laps behind the wheel if you can squeeze into my momo seat :D

INANST...with the std fuel pump, i only ever got fuel surge probs when the tank was extremely low, as the std tank (in the R32 anyway) is pretty well baffled.

With an aftermarket fuel pump installed it is very dependant on how it was installed....as their isnt any real science in installing properly 90% will still run fine with no fuel surge until you get very low on fuel...so not a concern...and consdiering what fuel consumption is like, fill the thing up before you get there, as i normally go thru about a tank and a half for a full day at Eastern Creek or Wakefield

I can add/delete names pending people confirming, but to get an idea of who is in. Bold indicates confirmed.

For the Friday open day:

- Adzmax ... next time :)

- INASNT

- GTTR34

- Snowman

- Scotsman

- ferni , needs some more convincing :D

- Roy

And for the MSCA Sprint on Sunday:

- Adzmax

- GTTR34

- Snowman

- Scotsman

- Roy

If we can get 6-10 people to the Friday it will be great :)

grrrr wish i didnt have to work nite shift :)

might try n make it there just to watch u guys at least for a few hrs

btw ur better off staying in wangaratta if u wanna hit the turps... better pubs

also look out for the 2 r33 gtrs that reside there :)

So am i the only one going on the Friday? :confused:

I may just drive up Sunday morning for the sprint

If so i may stay home and use the Friday/Saturday to fiddle with my car as i dotnthink i will have my car back by this weekend... nothign that wills top me form driving it, just little things that need attention and sooner would be better then later

Roy - at this stage Im still keen to go up on the Friday. But it looks like I wont be competing on the Sunday. Thats unless a miricle occurs and my parts arrive for my gearbox before then. But I still want to get to know the track so I'm thinking of punting my completely stock rex wagon around Winton on Friday for a bit of fun.

Anyone else still keen to come up on Friday. I think Adzmax was still interested.

Just rang winton, the Friday is a goer! :)

As Snowman posted, you need:

- YOUR OWN helmet (cant be hired on the day)

- Car does not need to be registered, jut roadworthy

- No Passengers in cars

- Fire resistant head to toe clothing, 100% cotton shirt and pants are fine.

- No sepcial drivers licence requirements (i didnt enquire about a suspended licence is acceptable)

Day goes from 10am to 4.30pm...should be a good fun day for the princely sum of $100 inc GST

The reason i rang Winton was to see if they accepted passengers... sorry KamikazeR33, ill shout you beers Friday night if you care to jockey the camera for post event pow-wow sessions :D

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • 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).
