Anyone in Sydney that wants to do there’s to save buying the socket to do it, I’m happy to lend you mine if you leave a $50 deposit which will be returned to you when you return the socket

Keeps the pressure in the pump, easiest way to know if yours is stuffed is while car car is sitting there idling you’ll hear the attessa pump cycle every couple of minutes. 

Pretty certain my attessa pump primes every 10 seconds lol

I'm keen to know how did you find the change in ratio's especially for driving on the street in comparison to the 5spd box?

Does it make more sense re ratio's of 6spd v 5spd? and  the 4.11 rear diff.

Doing the same conversion and getting a tad excited, cant wait so trying to glean what you think.

I actually think it’s easier to drive especially taking off, I find 4th at 60km sits just under 3,000rpm which gives it a nice amount of torque when you come to a hill, get to about 70-80 and I put it in 5th and it just cruises along nicely 

It’s great with the 4.11s, honestly if you have any reserves about it, don’t worry about them cause you won’t regret it

Thanks - watched it several times listening to the changes. I absolutely love the sound the RB's make under load and the BOV's.

I'm really chuffed to hear you say it's easier/nicer. I cant wait.

In that race I was against an r32 Gtr with a big single and more power then me and he finished with his front bar lined up with my rear cause mine gets out of the hole so much better

  • 4 months later...

Nothing “broke” but the ats twin plate while being a fantastic clutch was not strong enough for the mighty twins and slips when I run anything above my lowest boost setting 

The clutch to replace it will be an os r3c that I picked up a couple of months ago from a member on here with very little use on it 

after ripping the box out I sat the 2 clutches side by side and I realized this wasn’t going to work without some parts sourcing

After installing an r3c recently in my Gtr 

make sure u use the correct length bearing carrier as the clutch is “thinner” and needs a long bearing carrier 

mine was around 27mm long if I recall where as most other clutches require a 14ish mm carrier

I did a heap of measuring and had worked out that was what was required and late today I picked this puppy up and it will fix my issue

I will be able to fit it all when I get a free second and take it for a drive again 

Honestly I have no idea, Kyle from hi octane had it sitting around because their supplier had sent them the wrong part for another customer and he sold it to me.

i will check it for a part number tomorrow

    • 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.
