My RB20 is pretty well stock apart from a little bit of boost and a 3 inch turbo back exhaust and it surprised me what I could keep up with.

I'll push Pinky harder next time... :P

I think that the R32s being lighter in comparison to R33's is rather noticeable on track.....

Add a few light mods and you guys were fanging around the track IMO

pretty much,definitely helps out when up against insanely powerful cars,luckily mines pretty well set up in the suspension so can out corner alot of other cars,but my tyres had lost most of there grip near the end of the 53 minute happy laps.Could feel them crying underneath me,but my brakes handled the torture really well,but i did notice a light vibration under hard braking near the end,may need to look at the rotors and pads soon.

They're only about 75kg lighter...

well add your 30kg of doof doof Mike and you have a 105kg disadvantage right there

When we had our last suspension tech night we had our cars weighed, mine was about 75kg heavier than Pete's old 32 GTST. That was with mine totally full of fuel and all my audio gear in it ;)

The kerb weight of an R32 GTST is 1,280kg and R33 GTST is 1,390kg

You been shifty and stripped shit outa the SS

Nope. Perhaps it's just the rust...

LOL "The sprint tracks way to f**king small for this, way to f**king small" I think everyone echoed those thoughts.

Yeah, glad they set up the clubman. The national would have been even better.

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
