Sustenance(sp?) courtsey of shell = 3 V's for $6 :P

Soo tired. I got home and there was a car that drove slow past my house then sat out the front of the house next door. Suspect, so i watched them till they pissed off.

Well those that left after the Cops came missed some light conversation, a drag launch, some riceboy people, a girl with a TX3 keen to race anything, a Hilux with an RB20, some highway fun, a truck rollover with 4092370934827098 Cops, and the ICB Tunnel of love.

Jcmarshall was that you last night in the grey r33 with us up the front on the freeway? Or your car could have been that brown colour.

I was very impressed with the turnout and to all the people that ran away F&F style. That's pretty weak. You missed out on some fun.

How close was I to getting that ricer to miss the exit we were taking? so close yet so far. :P

It was a good night, bummer half the turnout ran like thay had just robbed a petrol station when the "P" word was mentioned.

Yeah that could have been me, my car is a really dark grey / purple but it looks black at night (see my avtar).

Thanks to the guy who got the highway drive going, (sorry mate, I never got your name - white r33 with a black rear wing), we could have just stood around all night otherwise.

I bugged out when we got to hail street, and went into the val, hope I did'nt miss much.

It was good to meet a few of you, I still mised a few, maybe next time.

Again next thursday?

I only took a couple of pics, but they are not too bad. Here you go.

    • 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.
