Yesterday the nissans on the new fuel smashed qualifying. Today they are back to their usual mid pack results and the Kelly boys were comparable on times. Maybe there was something in the claims of performance from the new fuel. Have to wait and see how they go in the race. But I certainly find it a bit suss....

yeah agreed....although they went to the trouble yesterday to point out they were still 1-2% down on top speed compared to the falcodores yesterday (a lot on a small track). But that doesn't mean there wasn't a gain in the midrange somewhere.



ultimately supercars is a parity formula, so there will be adjustments to different cars at times. And the cars that get the adjustments will be happy, and the ones that don't will have a sook

lame dancer is lame.

BTW they were 5th and 8th again this afternoon until about 3 laps to go (they didn't pit for tyres and lost a few spots to the cars that did). So the speed poorer today, but not by an order of magnitude

Since when does E70 make more power than E85? It is an economy argument, not a power argument. The data traces showed no gain anyway. Aside from that the rest of the teams signed off on it so what are they whinging about?

Anyway was nice seeing Moffat junior taking the piss out of his choked up old man on the tv on Sunday.

Good on them for

A: Winning

B: Hosing the Kelly's.

Yeah the traces didn't show much, but they were both from quali laps, which doesn't show as much of the story as the race data. But if the economy was better then they could've gotten gains from running less fuel at the start of the lap.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      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?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      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).
