This is that Nuke Surge Tank going in, does not block access to the Attesa reserve or anything else, it is 3lt but compact enough :)

That's a good looking bit of kit Pete, looks similar in many ways to the Aftermarket Industries ones.

Jez was pretty impressed with it and it will be interesting to see how it performs :)

You're shitting us right ??

Yes, get a bit sick of some blokes wanting things to go tits up ( sometimes just a stir , all good :yes: ) because they do not like what you want from your car or feel what you want is unrealistic , shit, thats what we all try to do, get what we personally want from our cars , matters not what it is and you do not have to agree with what the next bloke wants or how many $$$$s he spends to get it :)

Shit I have seen some blokes have spent $200,000 on their car over some years and sell them for $85k ?

I have no idea if I will get exactly what I want but it is pretty close already :)

I think you need to take it all into consideration, as in how this thread started and now the direction of which it is heading.

And did the head gasket really let go? I cant read sarcasm

haha , I know where the thread went, all over the place when the topic went tits up once I drove the car home and there were problems.

The posts had some opinions on the problems and went off topic while waiting for work to be carried out , bit of shit stiring, some smart arse comments but just a bit of fun :)

Then after a few attempts to retune it that did not work, I then waited 3 months to get the car in to get the problems sorted, another month to have the work done, then I thought it would be over but it was still not 100% .

The work was not finished as there were a couple of things I wanted done including a retune, to me the tune was not as it should be, I was lucky Mick came up and drove the car and agreed that there were some things that needed to be looked at.

The tune is aggressive with ignition , with slight detonation , running rich on idle and boost. Full boost is not until 4600rpm and power flat lines at 63000rpm @ 22psi. Am I happy with that, guess ?

But once the new work is completed, it will be looked at again , cam timing and tuned.

The good thing is this work will be paid for by the parts I sold from the old build before I bought the car :)

    • 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).
