so tempting... anyone know where to find some 16 or 17"  Nitto's????

17's on the rear of my car and my 16's Doughboy will be using, doesn't help you to much though :P the 17's aren't helping me to much either hahaha

honestly why don't you just buy BF Goodrich drag radials? I'm sure in the last couple of months since you first thought about buying my nittos you could of bought some?

unfortunately the car chewed up a bit more cash then we would have liked Brett :(:( It was worth it in the end for the small bits we added though :D:D

BFG's are quite hard to find right now though.... i havent had much luck findig any. You got any contacts that could get me some for the right price ;)

I'll be running at WSID tonight (first time!). I only bought the car a short while ago and it's reasonably stock at present. I'm not sure what type of time to expect, I just wanted to give the car a run to see how it fairs and to get a base time so I have something to compare against once I make a few mods in the future and run it down the track again.

I'm fairly new here, so I haven't met any of you guys yet...so if you see a guy driving a Silver R33 Series II looking a little lost, feel free to say hi, it would be cool to meet up :D

Cheers,

Brenden

Mate, we've all been plenty of times and we still look lost :D

If you see us first, come say hi. Who's getting there nice and early though? Would be good to get in and parked on someone's car pass :(;) ;)

    • 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).
