Whats wrong with my car

[NismoGirl]

Just wondering...

We ***** an apparently "STOCK" R33 on saturday night. It looked pretty stock but who knows.

Our car has:

3" turbo back haust

Boost Controller (11psi high boost)

Blitz BOV and Standard (is this our problem??)

K&N Filter (were running a HKS one but it was too loud (and the foam was crumbling))

If the other was stock and we have this done to our car.. how could it be faster??

I had two in my car (including me) and he had 3...

I'm just shocked...

:eek:

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Maybe its coz u cant drive? Like, hard i mean. They might've been a mad driver.

[NismoGirl]

Oh so now its me that cant drive?? :bahaha:

WTF??

Best place to see what you can to is Willowbank on tune and race nights. Next being Wed 19th. Cost $27 for you, car and one other(pit crew). It's pretty casual and you get as many runs as you can fit in depends on how many cars are there. See you there???

[NismoGirl]

Dont know about that. I work and I have to get up early each morning. Maybe a Saturday.. But now its so slow I think I would be too embarassed to run it.

remember that you are racing against your personal best when on a track. whether a 10 second car is next to you or a 20 second car makes no difference.

Sorry to hyjack this thread

Jay are you going to willowbank on Wednesday night? I may come down for a run.

Could be a number of things.

Weight (you had more people in it, my car is even slow with 3)

Clutch (yours may be slipping a bit )

Tyres (his may have been great off the line)

ecu (he may have had an aftermarket ecu which you can't see)

I wouldn't be to concerned abotu loosing, I used to get ticked off when I got beaten by gemini's and swifts but then I realised that so long as my car is running well then the fact is that the other person simply has a faster car.....bit like what people think when I beat them I guess, some spend more on mods than others ??

[macka]

timing might be out...

try ecu reset if no one has mentioned it..

yep clutch like boosty said

Theres so many little things and really Nismogirl its not worth stressing over its probably nothing

[51jay]

BOOSTMEISTER Yes we'll definately be there providing it's not raining should get there about 6.15 or 30

[NismoGirl]

I'm not really *worried* or *stressing* about it its just that its a bit of a piss off really!!

I've gotta find myself a job before too long so we can keep the thing on the rod.

And Boostmeister... I had 2 people. He had three so weight wasn't really an issue.

[adam 32]

why do you keep saying 'our' car and 'we' did this....

do you share the car? if so make the othe person fix it!!

if you can drive then the other person was lying when they said their car was stock or yours is very badly tuned

[NismoGirl]

well the car is mine and my partners...

We have been together for 4 years so everything is *ours*

But I want to own the skyline myself... One day I will

[macka]

A job helps are you helping pay off the car as well :burnout:

[NismoGirl]

The payments for the car actually come out of my pay in the way. The rego and insurance is coming out of my pay in the bank. The petrol goes on my credit card and then my pay pays the credit card off..

Are you trying to say that its his car I just think its mine??

[macka]

Hehe keep ya pants on..

I had to check tho....

BTW Having both BOVs plumbed up shouldnt hurt ive seen a couple others the same setup as yours

[NismoGirl]

Well you have to understand that its the way it always is

Ahhh... shes in her b/fs car!!

But theoretically and legally its mine in terms of ownership and stuff... But oh well

[macka]

Well no i seen a couple of honeys driving R33s and they look like their cars.

too snobby to look at me tho :lol:

cheers

some times you just loose my car looks stock but has lots of goodies as well and no noisy bov either

[NismoGirl]

Three different people told me this car was stock after all going over and looking under the bonnet. I didn't go look cause i wouldn't of had a clue what i was looking for!!

He only just got it a few days before that. So ...

What internal mods can be done that cant be seen that could make him fasT??
