Well, Well Well where do I start.

Perhaps we start with the obvious differences.

John ---> Paul

1. Boo Hoo Hoo I have sh!ty slicks ---> Street tyres with 30,000 Km

2. 1000 hours of workshop time ----> change oil ever 5000km .5hrs

3. 1 gazillion $ in mods -----> $10K

4. Nothing standard ----> brakes, suspension internals drivetrain std

5. Spends weekdays in bits ---> drives to work every day with 2yr old boy in the back

6. track trim with a 300z shell ---> street trim with tools in boot for when 300Z brakes down

7. 26psi boost ---> 10psi boost

8. Workshop car ---> family car

HELL YEAH! GTR all the way boy! R- Comp both the GTR and that other thing and let's have a battle! Day, Time, Place...???

For those who want to come and see both the cars head to head, come out to the UAS track day Oran Pk 2nd April. I will have a set of second hand slicks and John will have his new set of semi's. Should be a good day for all involved.

listen..........................

Wait...........................

oh it was only a pin dropping!

Yep I wreckon my car will be faster with new semi slicks than the old free slicks I get and have been using for years. That might shut a few up.

Neil you getting out to the track in your fast buz box? What about Duncan's yellow thing bring it out and see how much slower your GTR is than my boat.

ahh c'mon Gary organise something to come along.

what happened to leanne's car this year?

Sold the old RX7 2 weeks ago.

The new RX7 is just about finished.

The F3 is racing at the GP.

I wish I was confident enough to say the R32GTST will be ready by then, but I am not.:woot:

Maybe we might bring the project R33GTST out for a run. It won't be that fast, but it should be fun. :thanks:

:yes: cheers :yes:

sydneykid are you building a drift 33?

Nope, it was a sad R33GTST, but it's getting better everyday.

Daily driver, with all round motorsport capability.

Not full on race like the R32GTST

Similar to the R34GTT, but with less $investment.

:( cheers :yucky:

    • Great to hear you are bringing it out of the shed again. Unless you have specific issues I'd just add the wideband, get a good tune and enjoy it. Certainly no point changing coils etc if they are working. If would add fuel pressure and e85 sensor if you are doing a general update but not if it runs OK and you are just getting it back on track. The other thing is smaller, modern twins, -5 are OK for motorsport but pretty laggy and old tech for street use (of course, if performance is the priority a modern single with twin scroll manifold etc is the go but not cheap). The final thing worth considering is switching to an ethrottle if drivability is still an issue, it should make things a lot simpler and smoother
    • Yeah pretty sure they are m4, but best to check, and perhaps use new hardware Also don't over torque them......there was that one time I lost an expensive engine after a workshop overtorqued one of those bolts and it ended up in the oil pump (no, I don't know why they removed the intake mesh either)
    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
