IMACUL8,

good to hear you're not disappointed with the change - that would really suck, spending a heap of dough, and (if you are like most) losing a couple of dollars selling the old ride.

I would certainly not take offence, I asked the question and wanted your honest opinion. I can only agree that the handling on the skylines can be a bit spongey - I have spent a few bucks sorting that out - just gotta piss off the hicas now and I'll be happy.

Don't you think you may miss a bit of power oversteer occasionally though?

Only thing that worries me a bit is 13.7 with 270rwhp - sure there isn't a bit of 'operator error' somewhere:p (sorry just couldn't help myself, it was too easy LOL)

Thanks for the honest reply

Steve

Dont get me wrong... i loved my R33 ... the lsd and the HUGE lsd burnouts i use to drop....Awesome..... It is a great car.....

The 13.7 I stated above... I did not actually run the car... but had same mods and tuning as guys like Hicks and others and the best time so far is about a 13.7 (on stock turbo)....

Im in the 12's Dan, so thats not an issue

IMACUL8, I was only having a go in fun. BUT, I do think you are selling your old ride short, Macka has got high 12s with only 25(or 26)rwhp more than your line was running, and rev210 has run 13.8 with a zorst, pod and a bit of boost. (edit: and 100kg of paper in the boot, as he loves to point out - gotta get traction some how)

Bottom line, its good to hear your happy with your new ride, and good to hear objective comments about your new car - cheers and have a happy new year.

Steve

PS, hope santa was kind

Are rexs doing 12s on 1 bar of boosto stockie?

If so i didnt realise i thought they were more tricked up.

Plus the fact u were going on about an upgraded turbo as well

and once I put a vf22 (sti) turbo on it (which only cost $1400 as apossed to expensive garret

turbos for the nissan's).. my car will be easily into the 12's.........

I have also seen the spool up times on those STI turbos and they are bloody shocking i think the 450hp turbo something like over 4000pm full spool

Clint I was comparing my R33 against my rex..... and just stating about the turbo upgrade to get into the 12's...

Wasnt your time(12.9XX) done with you breaking or something???? Does that not make it a void pass???? I'm not sure so I'm just asking???????

Daniel

Good work Dan. Im all for a change, and despite what a lot of people on here think, i think WRXs are a very nice car. Love the rumble from the boxer engine!

I almost bought one instead of my 33, only that it sold before i got the chance. Do you still have the plates from the 33 or did they stay on the 33?

Hope you have fun with it. I know of a few low 12sec WRXs around Perth, but yet to see any GTSTs running that quick.

Still given the money for a new wrx, id take a 33GTR every time :-)

Ben

thanks Ben

If you like the rumble boxster noise.. then you'll like mine... farken loud and angry....

Yeah Ben I know of a few as well .. its usually as easy as bolting on a vf22 turbo and ecu..... should have both in a couple of months......

Still have the plates Ben.. they will go on as soon as transfer car over.

hope to see you soon Ben... You going on cruz on the 2nd...

Dan

break out or not that does not effect the et! as soon as he crosses from one beam to teh other is the et early or late.

Are you still chasing a white faced boost guage?

I never broke the line anyway I got a .250 reaction time and apparently it has to be at least .400 for a pass.

I think VSPECgtst asked an officail the other week and that time is acceptable altho the pass is fouled, i neither won or lost, The Torry that beat me got a red light tho!

Anyway who really cares ive accepted the fact skyzzer will only take my next best of 13.06 with 2.4 60ft time im sure i can better it.

Rexs dont have the power, all they have is 4WD

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
