Get some susupension bushes m8 appaerntly they help with traction off the line quite alot. U get less axle tramp and that kinda stuff so u can really throw it off the line. Do a search for 'pinapples' and u should find something. :D

Hicks, your black r33 looks incrediably like a r32 to me. Maybe I'm going blind. To run into the 13's you need a low 60 foot time, around 2.1-2.3, which means you need good off the mark traction. Whiteline make a diff craddle kit, its 4 poly-urethene bushes that adjust the rear craddle for maximum traction. Also a good set of tyres, dunlop f901's or sp9000's will do the trick and depending on your rim size. If you've got a nice set of 17x9" deep dish rims you can stretch some 255/35 or something over them, maybe 235/45. you want something with a fair amount of sidewall for flex when you launch. btw: I've only got a cat back exhaust, electronic boost controller set to 0.8bar, hks pod filter, heavy duty clutch and a set of 225/55 r16 dunlop sp9000's and I ran a 14.11 wednesday night just gone. Rev210 (dave) has got a turbo back exhaust, running around 8-10psi boost and he ran a 13.8!

nah, its deffinetly an r33. The only difference on mine is that I have had the rear nissan badge(boot lock) removed and filled over. Some tosser ripped it off!

My rims could be a problem, there 245's but theres not much side wall as the rim size is 19''. Looks good though!

i think i saw you on leach hwy near risely st a couple of times, the bootlock has been filled, and its still got grey primer right?

I have seen 2 different black R33s there, but i definately saw 'hicks' i could be wrong about the primer though.

Nice car all the same.

mine does that.. sometimes when i turn the car on it does so and the climate control wont turn on until its all clicked out.. im thinking its the air directional doozies or some crap *shrug*..

if it aint broke.. dont fix it.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
