Cyph-R33

Hahahahahhahahahaha That is legendary.

Far out, thats some impressive footage. Note to self - go for a sedate drive along those roads sometime in the near future.

I was wondering where a couple of the GTRs were when I was at Targa Fest, now I know. I went in, took some pictures, had a bit of a sticky beak around the traps. I decided I'd be foolish and link you all to them. http://www.projectrb.com/?page_id=48 They are foolishly on my quasi-blog-that-I-haven't-updated-in-a-while. Enjoy, if anyone wants to look. Damn hard to get pictures of some cars, so many people crowding around. Cheers, Rob

Can anyone tell me where on earth these cars are meant to be in Launceston tonight?

Same here.

So those guys I saw at BP on Wellington Street yesterday in their Datsun 510 SSS are going to have fun considering they brought wet tyres for wet or dry? Awesome

Hey all, Is there some night or day event or something near Launceston where all the competitors are (hopefully) going to be displaying the cars? Would love to come get a look at them, unfortunately I've started working and don't think I'll be swing any days off to come to any of the stages around Launceston / northern Tassie. Want to get a look at all these fancy Skylines coming down to little ol tassie

This is blasphemy, I know it, you know it, everyone else knows it, but damn those Ford GTs look hot in that GT1 spec.

Sweeeeeet. Those Skeltas are awesome. Absolutely insane, but awesome.

Ahh indeed I did. Looks like I'll need to have a gander at the Targa Tas website soon and see when things are on and whereabouts in relation to Launceston, so I can plan some day trips around the place to go and watch!

Now I'm even more puzzled as to how you knew he was my cousin! Or rather, how you knew I was his cousin. Now I'm more confused!

That's either a random 'everyone in Tasmania is related' joke, or you actually know my cousin Nathan?

Ahh the joys of living in Tasmania now. I can go and check out all the Targa cars! Look forward to seeing some of these cars in the flesh!

Hey all, how's it going. I've just recently picked up a series 2 R33 GTS25T, and I've got a bit of a weird hunting problem with it. Basic symptom is the following: When moving the car just a little bit, be it in reverse or 1st gear, upon clutching in and braking, the revs will begin to hunt, going between 0 to 1500rpm, not necessarily that whole scale, eg it could go between 700 and 1500, or could go between 0 to 800, etc etc. Perfect example of this would be in the drive through getting food at suchandsuch fast food place, when moving forward in line, so clutch in, first gear, bit of revs, clutch out, move forward the car length, clutch in before braking to a stop, and the revs will begin to hunt, or worse, it just plain stalls.. Will do this for about 30 seconds, and then come good. Giving the pedal a rev doesn't help this at all, it will continue to hunt after the throttle is closed. Another example will be turning into a car park, full lock, clutch in and brake, engine will stall. Idle is set at 750rpm. Is this too low? Can anyone give any ideas for a solution? Things that have been done: CAS replaced, timing set correctly as per timing label on the bonnet (something like +15 btdc at 700rpm or whatever it is, it's been done as per the label). Things that I will give a go and see what happens: Clean the AFM with some contact cleaner (won't take it apart and touch the element, will just use the contact cleaner through the mesh or whatever). If the contact cleaner doesn't fix the problem, I'll replace the AFM with a spare one that the workshop has, which they've said I can do, as I bought the car from them, free of charge. Replace the plugs (probably should do it anyway, compliance place didn't do it as far as I can tell), and give it some good oil. Apart from the above, intermittant problem, I've enjoyed my almost 3 weeks of Skyline ownership, such a nice car to have after having owned a fairly modified suspension wise S13 that was an absolute pig to drive on the road with its aggressive 2 way diff and all the fancy arms. Cheers all, -- Rob

I had Trust/Greddy SM Integrate gauges in my old S13, oil temp/oil pressure, with a Pivot water temp gauge. The SM Integrate gauges have a memory function so you can record and replay like 30 seconds of readings, or just a plain old peak recall. Pivot had a peak recall function as well. Anything that's white face will prove really really easy to read at day time, and are good at night time as well depending on how they light up. The Pivot lights up with a white light behind a cover on the glass of the gauge, the Greddy would light up green, from behind, with the needle showing up orange. Easy as anything.
