benm

I got a "defect notice" last night which was for my HKS Pod not being boxed and coz I have blue parker lights. From what I can see their is no $$$ invovled, I just have to fix those 2 faults, get it checked by the RTA or someone and then im done.

Also FYI: 100kw = 134hp 100hp = 74.6kw So a "brand new" stock R33 GTS-T makes approx ~248hp at the flywheel.

I'm after a standard airbox (with the scoop) from an r33 gts-t. Preferrably with a K&N Panel filter but primarily just after the actual box + scoop. I'm located in Sydney.

Is the standard r33 gts-t airbox still available ?

Is the R33 GTS-T Standard airbox still available ?

Hrmm that aint me is it? actually after taking a 2nd look I guess it kinda looks like me, ok then I agree its me.

I'd highly suggest -not- getting these. I got a defect notice only 30mins ago for having "very very blue" parker lights, asshole cops.

Gordon Levi's Tyres maybe best to have a visit...

www.racebrakes.com.au <- they are the brand of these guys. Higher temperature range then the Bendix series but slightly harder on your rotors.

Numbers would be easier for me coz I have no idea where you or they live

I need some tyres Not sure if i'll just buy some 2nd hand stock rims with normal rubber and just wear em to the belts or some 2nd hand stock rims with some semi-slicks (or even cheap slicks). You mean like I did at the last trackday I was at ? Lucky it was the beginning of the cool down lap though I don't have any dust problems, probably to do with the slots in my rotors cleaning/shaving the pads and removing the dust. I took my car for abit of a drive tonight up and back on the Hwy. I'm getting used to the feel of the pedal now, its consistent and strong no matter how much or how hard I brake (only did about 20x <80km/h stops).

Yeah my original quote was $600 but I took it to a local brake place and they quoted me $450 but ended up getting it for $395, not sure why but I aint complaining. I'll get 1 of my mates to give the brakes a go and see what he thinks. Mine might be normal just that im expecting something better, who knows

I have never driven a GTR and I have never driven a car with Brembo brakes but I would say from my own opinion that it is not a worthwhile upgrade. For a set of front calipers and rotors you would be looking at around $2,000 and you certainly are not going to get $2,000 of better stopping power. If you plan on using your car at the track often (ie; more than 4x a year) then sure it may be worthy of upgrading to Brembo's as they will give you much more consistent braking abilities over the standard system. For a fraction of the price you could get a complete DBA setup and I honestly don't think you would notice the difference.

Well I finally got my car back today after having the master brake cylinder bored and sleeved. They had my car for 4 days (about a day longer than it was sposed to take) and it cost me $395 all up (remove master cylinder, courier to workshop in the city, sleeve and seal, re-fit to my car, new brake fluid and bleed the brakes). I swear my car has gone through more bottles of brake fluid this year then engine oil, I can think of 4 bottles off the top of my head. The brakes are deffinetly better now but im -still- not 100% happy after the amount of money i've spent. The brake pedal still goes down quite abit before any actual friction is noticed. The only thing I can think of right now is that im using RB74 front pads which are probably alittle too high quality for just normal daily driving to work and back (ie; 50-60km/h streets with no -heavy- braking), so they don't get a chance to get up to operating temperature with no heavy braking being done. I'll leave it until after Xmas and then get a set of Bendix Advance/Ultimates and try that out. Does anyone know if you can adjust the brake pedal like you can the clutch so that you dont have to push/release as much before friction is applied? I want friction to be applied about 1.5-2cm earlier then what my pedal is actually moving. I guess the only way I will really beable to see how things hold up is the next track day I attend so that I can get some decent heat and km's into them and see how everything holds up. The full setup is now as follows: * Front/Rear - DBA4000 Slotted Rotors * Front/Rear - Calipers overhauled * Front - Goodrich braided lines * Front - RB74 Pads * Rear - Comp2 Pads * Master Cylinder bored and sleeved * Master Cylinder brace Hopefully this setup will last the lifetime that I have the car (at present the next 25 years haha).

Did you get their numbers ?

225's are the largest tyres that can fit on 16" rims unless you can find a rare (but good) brand/quality tyre. If you want any wider than 225 you will have to go up to 17's.

Bring her up to the Canberra Summernats !!!! :headspin:

24 ? Geeze must be almost time for retirement... /me puts hand up for the GTR ...no really i'll take good care of it

I'd say its actually 4th gear, of all the dyno days ive been to they have all been in 4th (well over 100 cars)

Are you talking about that yellow falcon ? They were using standard road tyres and I don't even think they got out of 3rd down the main straight. I was tempted to push them out of the drivers seat so I could give it a run... what a waste

You must have been on the other side of town. Last year (well beginning of this year actually) the cops setup a defect station on the main hwy into Canberra about 2km before the showground, I got my exhausted tested (which passed). On 1 of the main roads in town from the summernats showground they setup another defect station, I still remember watching a smick VL Walkinshaw getting done over for about 30mins last time (but then I became side tracked by a lowie at a servo that everyone was making fun of hahah).

They have drive-in movies and drive-in bottle shops, wheres the damn drive-in shopping centre's grrrr

The C/F Blade has been sold (just waiting on delivery). The GTR Wing is now $300 + Delivery.

price reduced

My dad had it on in his car on the way home from todays trackday
