:bonk: You can't give yourself a free bump!!! That rear wing is ummm wide... do you have the stock one lying around? p.s. Free bump

I reckon your mate is probably right, it is fairly common to see a little muffler on old 911 Turbos for the external wastegate.

A couple of Skylines in action on the day

600x270x60

Oh dear... this thread is a terrible idea. My dyno reads lower than your dyno

This happened to my friend's Monaro outside his house. Bloody disgraceful

Stock R33 GT-R intercooler - 600x270x60 Black, small dent on one corner, some dead bugs, never been dropped. $500

I seem to recall your previous post saying "so what is it doing in Nations Cup" but I guess I must have imagined that. I know you are not slow, but you are being a touch obtuse. You can buy a stroker crank as easily as you can buy some bigger turbos. They do effectively the same thing. You can butcher the wheel arches on your GT-R like the Falken one that races in Europe which from what I can tell runs a 2.8l engine. So show me the showroom when you can buy a GT-R like this one...

OK, once again, for the slow ones Ross Palmer has said a bazillion times that Nations Cup is not production car racing.

GT racing has been about bending the rules since the dawn of time. Look at Mercedes who won the FIA GT championship with the unhomologated CLK GT-R which went from a 7 litre V12 to a twin turbo V8, I think Sauber or Jaguar did the same in Group C, BMW with the V8 M3. You name it. It is the golden rule, he who has the gold makes the rules. Forget a Skyline in Nations Cup, it will never ever happen. Ross Palmer has cried wolf that many times about what cars will be on the grid. Also Ross Palmer has said a bazillion times that Nations Cup is not production car racing. A GT-R with stock turbos and boost would not compete with the other cars, so you would need to increase both, with is increasing the amount of air going into the engine which is a lot like increasing the capacity of the engine which is a lot like stroking an LS1 to 7 litres. The only companies that design a sports car from the ground up are Porsche and Ferrari. A GT-R is a hotted up Skyline with better engine, better suspension, wider track, improved aerodynamics and styling. An M3 is the same for a 3-series. Sounds a lot like the Monaro to me. Think of the population compared to Japan or Europe and you will see why they can't make production cars. The HRT 427C would have been great but it didn't happen because the numbers didn't add up. Hopefully a Pontiac GTO 427C comes to life and brings the Monaro with it! The inability to appreciate anything without lots of cams and valves gives Skyline zealots a lot more in common with V8 knuckle draggers than they might like to admit.

Also one CAPS LOCK key for sale, only used once

See, even your sig hates R33's!

Do you mean bloated in looks or in weight?

It just seems almost universally unpopular... I mean people go on about a weight difference of 3% (R32 1,480kg and R33 1,530kg) like it rendered the car undriveable... but the 1,540kg R34 was welcomed like the second coming of Christ. Am I just paranoid or do people really hate the R33?

Just in case that doesn't show up for people...

This was made by a guy installing an AVC-R on an R33 GT-R Hopefully it is of some help... http://www.gtr.co.uk/html/docs/apexi_avc.zip

It is going to be awesome! Hope that the local competition is ok. This will hopefully kick off Drifting in Australia! Anyway, here is some video of the broadside guys, including stuff at Calder CLICK HERE

Ah here we go, much more convenient than Queensland! Does anyone know if this will fit on a GT-R?

Ummm more like being full of shit

In answer to the first question, on a dyno the car is standing still with its wheels moving. If that isn't wheelspin then nothing is... The V-Spec has ATTESA E-TS PRO which can redirect up to 50% of the torque to the front wheels within 1/1000th of a second so that doesn't give you much time to see the wheels not spinning~ R33 non-V-spec is simply a matter of two fuses instead of 1 There is an interesting article on the R32 here http://autospeed.com/cms/A_0060/article.html

I just wonder about disabling the HICAS as well, does it just sit straight? Not sure if I would want the rear wheels wandering around on a powerful RWD that thinks it is a 4WD

On a non-V-spec you just pull two fuses, one in the boot and one in the cabin and bingo, RWD central. I only drove for a short time and the clutch was slipping anyway so can't really say what it is like to drive as a RWD. But that really doesn't help the original poster. But might save someone with a non-V-spec doing something silly like pulling their car to bits...

Excellent, thankyou very much. Now I just need to find a couple of 180SX/200SX/Silvia owners in need of some turbo action! :headspin:

Best Motoring International are shockingly bad with translations on technical things. I am pretty sure that in this case they were right. But he could have been referring to using airflow meters.Worst offence was the Horrinzer 6-throttle in the S15... If they didn't mean Holinger 6-speed gearbox I will eat my hat Could someone explain to me what "in-lift" is... Also how good is the So fast that even a dead man will scream quote! :headspin:

Still available? Does the front bar have the N1 intercooler vents? Interested mainly in front bar so might be able to work out something with GunMetalR33
