As posted on the CC forums : Got home this afternoon after a long weekend up in Sydney. Headed up on Saturday at 7am. Went to Autosalon both days and was really awesome this year. Got in free cause work deals with the major sponsors for it so that was a plus.

Fewer cars than last year but quality has definately increased. Was well set out this year too, but lacking beatboxing/breakdancing that I really enjoyed last year. Next year will play host to modified late-model motorcycles, plus ATV's and the like, also motocross as well; which should make it a bit different for next year.

Saw Erica's beast and highly approve, is one nice subie. Also watched Stacey's DirtGarage 32 GTR on the Dyno.

As for the dyno, Nasa's black Supra built by Millenium Motorsport took out 1st in the dyno comp, pulling 610.2 rwkw. BOOBE Supra pulled 503 rwkw. A decent 355 stroker VR ute with a T51R pulled 544 rwkw. Daniel's gold ESP racing Supra managed about 470rwkw at best, he popped an intercooler pipe off on one of his first runs but had it fixed shortly after.

Took about 350 pictures and videos and will try to post them up soon.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
