I had Jic suspension in it and wound it right down.If you notice the pic it didn't even make it out of my carport.Thats as far as I could get it, so I took some photos and wound it back up.

51jay...good to hear your doing well in your beast,my old jigger is about to get a link computer and big cams and cam gears...should be scary.

The GTR's great other than bad attention (getting keyed) but overall it more than I expected..hoping to run a very low 12 next drags as I have only raced once with standard everything except boost resulting in a 12.665, now I have trust airfilters.hks dumps and fronts and 17psi so fingers crossed.You still a regular at broadwater..I'll probably come down for autosalon or jamboree.

Saw a nice black 4-door R33 parked in the Coronation Drive parking bay on Sunday Afternoon, facing the river, it still had numbers painted on the back left window like he'd been to the drags / sprints on the weekend? Was that anyone here?

Yeah, I live in St Lucia, and used to have a Wine Red R33 which I have since sold, but still see heaps of Skylines around St Lucia / the Uni.

Cheers,

Simon

hehe thought so - I was still driving around on Sunday with the number "5" painted on my car too - I figured you'd pulled over to talk on the phone or something, but upon refletion I guess it would be a nice place to have lunch!

If I see you around the streets of St Lucia I'll throw you a wave. I live near the Taringa end of Swann Road, but play various sports down at UQ, as well as shopping etc at the village fairly often.

I take it 382 GZV is your rego? I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Cheers,

Simon.

G'day Steve,

Yep - it's a 1996, 3.2 litre (the 236kw version) but no, it's not the SMG; It's a 6-speed manual.

Yep - it's a lot of fun and certainly seemed to enjoy a good hard run around the track (just as much as it loves a nice run up Mt Glorious or Mt Mee) and I will definitely be giving it another run at the next Sat Arvo Sprints (june 21st).

I was getting 1:04's on Saturday, but I was making a lot of errors in the infield / slower sections (the crossovers) where I was having trouble picking a good line and then getting out of the corner smoothly. It is something that will come with experience I'm sure, and just due to my inexperience with the car... I hadn't driven the M3 on the track before, and I am sure I will improve a bit as time goes by. (I'm also doing a driver training day at Queensland Raceway on June 8th which should be interesting).

But yeah, the car was great on the weekend. Very well behaved. I was able to run 1:04's and 1:05's, I didn't suffer any brake fade, was able to exceed 180km/h on the front straight and when I got back home to my driveway, I'd averaged 13.1 litres/100km for the entire day. Got to be happy with that!

Simon.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
