Boostmiester,

Yeh,my R33 has been on a couple of videos over the past two/three years.

Munro,

This year 2002 has seen a big start to Skyline Drag Racing in the UK with road legal cars doing great times,the quickest of the year belonging to "rocket Ronnies" R33 .....10.78sec.....,I`ve done an 11.30 in my R33.There were several more cars in the 11`s and to think these cars were driven to the Drag Strip,did their Times and were driven home,Skylines are amazing!

We are also into Top Speed runs were 209mph was this years quickest time and 0-60mph times got down to 3.2 seconds.

I have purchased with my good mate,Guy,a Pro-Drag R32 from Sunyou Garage in Japan which we will run next year but has already won many Events in Japan with times in the 9`s.This car we have named "Project X" and its road legal too!

2003 will see times tumbling,all we need now is some good weather,help.

Happy New Year,

Henry

Awesome.Fast Skylines are so cool.

I also have an R33 GTR.So far it has done a 10.6 @ 137mph.

Wouldn't exactly call it "street legal" though.I am currently looking

at my fuel system.Have 6 x 1000cc injectors, but am thinking of running a 2nd rail with 550cc as well.I couldn't tell from your photo

if you have 2 rails or not?

I have just received a new Holinger 6speed & hopefully the car will be ready to race in mid January.I have never pulled nines before, so hopefully, with this new combination we can crack through the barrier into single digit territory.

Another Adelaide fella has driven to the track & pulled 9.74 recently.I've been in it (an R32 GTR) on the street & it's very streetable.You are right - they are amazing cars.

Hmmm, weather.We have the opposite problem.Last couple of times at the track it was nearly 40 degrees!Great for traction but not too good for turbo cars(or the drivers)

Oh well, at least the nights are nice & warm.Night racing would be good!

Cheers,

Munro.

Yes,Project X has twin rails,a set of 550s & a set of 720s.We have the Holinger 6 speed sequential too.

I think a lot of us in the UK need to learn as much as possible about launching our GTR`s, as I`ve said before, we are new to Drag Racing.

At the moment I am using HKS 2835R turbos.

They are smaller than yours & may be replaced later once the rest of the car is fully sorted out.

I dont have a handbrake.Instead I use a line locker in the back brake line with a button on the steering wheel.The plan is to take

up the driveline slack with the back brakes locked on & release them on the launch.Haven't mastered it yet & am breaking heaps of shit!!!

Eventually I would like to run 3240 turbos, but I'll wait & see.

We`ve got a pair of 3240`s sitting on the shelf at HKS Europe if we want them but I haven`t even had a chance to let the R32 rip up the 1/4 yet so I wouldn`t think of changing up for a good while.

I have found out that our ex-Sunyou R32 ran a 9.6sec in Japan which is very respectable:) but until more infomation comes through I`ve no idea if that is its best time ever?

Our car is due to go on the Dyno Pack in a couple of weeks,so I I`ll keep you posted on our progress.

Happy New Year Oz!!!

Henry.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
