BOZ22N

Looking good Dave when you get the bonnet unwrapped let me know how the quality is for the $. I want to get one but will most likely get a cheapy so if i damage it i wont be so pissed off hehe.

Well another small up date, went to EC on the 16/04 for the second round of the SSCC series and it was a day for the ducks. The rain just kept coming down all day there was rivers on the exit of turn 4, 7, 9 and puddles down the straight it was very exciting. Everyone behaved them selves and we kept racing all day with minimal stopages considering the weather. I managed a 2:17.7290 which was good enough for 7th fastest RWD on the day and 25th outright, this was my first attempt at EC so i was very happy with it. I love the lay out of the track and i am looking forward to giving it a go in the dry. Well the car went well with no real dramas, i noticed a bit of a nervous feeling in the front end through turn 2 and the diff was very clunky through there also. So i am going to have a look at some rose joints in the front end some more bracing, and as for the diff i have the whole rear end out of it at the moment so i am going to throw a Nismo Pro 2 way in that i have lying around and see if that is a smother centre than the current one. I also noticed that my LHR shock is leaking and the chrome is peppered so i have removed both the rears and sent them off to Bilstein for some repairs and a check up. I also noticed that i had broken the rear diff mounts, so i have removed the rear cradle and am going to replace the cradle bushes with some solid alloy ones and some urethane bushes front and back on the diff all the parts should be here this week . I took some photos of the std cradle bushes and you can see how much movement these would have in them on the track so i am replacing them. I also picked up some second hand rear upper control arms a while ago but they are too long, as you can see by the photo at minimum length they are the same a the factory ones? does anyone know what model they are for? If all goes well the rear end will be back in the car in a few weeks once all the parts are back then it will be time to have a look at the front. The next SSCC round is not till 3rd July so i have heaps of time

What damage did the gtst light have?

Second that mine is very nice but I have not driven with many others

Also got one PM me if you need it

Yep all factory booster and pedals etc

Agreed I loved it, hehe

Just for your info my r33 gtst stripped out and caged weighed in at 1374kg on the scales at EC. That is with a full tank of fuel and all factory body panels. I am very keen to get it down to the mid 1200's.

Kev, can you post or PM me some more info on the gear box please, is it straight cut? does it retain the std sincros and what centre plate does it have. Cheers, Ryan

Well it pissed down, o well. I managed a 2:17.7 on a wet track very happy for my first visit. Bring on the dry events.

Yep I will be there with bells on, really

I will need a cams log book for this ay as my car is not regoed.

Bring on any form of motorsort complex in or near Newcastle, it would make me a very happy man.

Damo and Ben have done a awesome job. Looking at the engine bay your would not tell it has been apart. The car sounded great and did a nice skid into the libary Good luck 4 today guys

Bargain.

Looking good bud. Seats in R33's when you are 6ft + are gay, but that is not your drama a bud.

They look great might have to give the fronts a go my self. What size and offset wheels are they?

Good power , i am the service crew for 414

Looks great guys hope to see you there

I don't fly in till Monday arvo see you all there Woohoo not long now

It's what all the cool kids are doing :-)

Very nice i might grab a look at it and get some ideas for mine. We are leaving ours in Melb and driving the car over.

Very nice Snowy are you taking it over to Tas or leaving it in Melb?

Bit harsh Duncy

In my R33 gtst I just ran the gtr strut braces and it was not too bad but you could hear and feel the car twist. Since then I have had a full roll cage welded in with a cross in both the main hoop and rear legs and the car feels sooooooo much better I love it. I would just stick with a good cage and some strut braces. I have been looking into the caster rod brace for a while now and am yet to find a good one I like. Good luck.
