If it has a rotary engine, I hope it's a S6 Duc, they are SEX cars with little more than the right set of wheels.

Good to hear Ash will be with us again next year.

Edited by chops

Where were you going to go ASH? BAck to VIC?

Let me know when you guys cruise -- preferably b4 feb 1st (unfortunately lose my licence for a year then :) )

I still have a prob with turbo/boostcontroller too hence have lost a bit of power (but still reckon i can keep up on cruises!!!!).

Cars also not liking heat (the otherday had steam pissing out from cooling system and my air con cacked it! -- i have to take it back to place that did front end repairs (silvers)

Cheers fellas. :P

Yeah Chris it was looking highly likely my work would take me back to Vic, but an awesome oportunity came up in Adel, so I'm stay which I'm pleased about.

Duc is going to the "brap" club hey? I like Cosmo's personally, shame they so damned heavy! But i can't think about "new" cars, gotta stick with ole bluey a while longer.

Have a good xmas / new year everyone!

hey Ash, are you doing anything christmas eve? if not come out for some drinks.

as for what rotary, lets just say it has a timeless shape. :P

having said that, its still in the pipeline.

Thats good to hear ash!!! I need to find some new work tooo!!!! Electrosux are a bit boring!!!!!

What about the old school s3 rotor with a series 4/5 motor: Have afriend who has one with over 330RWkW, they have awesome weight distributuion, it is a SERIOUSLY quick car!!!!!!; Only probklen is they are a bit of acoffin!

But out in Allice springs (where this bloke lives) there isnt a lot to hit apart from native fauna, (ie no speed limits === big fun!!!!!!!)

ps sorry about grammarrr fellas: have to be quick boss is watching!!!!

a little off topic... i saw it the other day too, i think its an RX-2, looks awesome!!! someones put some time & effort into that one. :)

i would love an S8 FD3S if i could afford it, but i would be happy with an S4/5 FC3S :)

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • 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).
