I could have gotten better but kept missing gears , oh well..

I think its not bad for stock turbo , stock management.

Missing gears?

Have you got a truck gearbox or something, how many gears can you miss?:)

reason i was missing third gear was because i thought i might try some redline shockproof.

I found its excellent for protecting the box but doesnt allow the syncro's to spin up quick enough. So i was having trouble getting third , just woudnt go in.

So i came home put ELF gearbox fluid back in and its back to normal.

So far the box is holding up but its getting whiny .... i think its on a life expiry ... going going BANGGGGGGGGGG

14.6 thats damn good for a almost stock car man !

I was down at the plex last meet with Imacul8 and noticed that the VT range of HSV's ( including Utes) where only running 14.7's and up.

Pretty lame for a hard arse car......

Why Jap cars are better than late model domestics part 1.

thanks guys at least im improving i think the car is able to do better its me that needs to perfect the techniques but im happy especially as its a auto and all. I might stick with it as stock this season then do some work - like pod and cat back exhaust, boost controller and see what the improvement is like

    • Welcome!  Any pics of the new GTR? You'd be amazed how many people have minimal plans initially. 🤣
    • Hello all I've been lurking around and reading many threads for quite some time, so I figured I may as well join in. I recently picked up a R33 GTR 3 V-SPEC RISERVATA that’s mostly stock. The car has always been a bit of a dream for me, and now I’m slowly starting to plan the next steps — nothing too crazy yet, but I’d like to keep it clean and responsive while pushing a bit more power.
    • You appreciate it could be pinging and not be audible from inside the cabin on the car right? 
    • Thanks for all the replies fellas. Gonna finish putting it back together and see how it handles the set up. If it starts pinging it’ll be parked.
    • Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).
