Hiyas, been here researching my car purchase for the last few months, great articles (if a little hard to find at times)..

but anyways, just picked up my new car YAY.

R33 series 2, 75 thou on the clock, white (unfortunate, but quality came before color in car selection) beautiful car. i live about 350km's west of brissie up the Warrego highway :) so picking up the car from Burliegh was a road trip in itself.

liked it when i picked it up, love it now that i realised its actually quite nice up the old goat track (warrego highway), glad i got a standard one.

will get lowered and some work done, but not till i move back to civilisation, except maybe a slight zorst, and a bigger intercooler.

It was spotless when i picked it up, now its filthy, i have a feeling im gonna spend the rest of my life cleaning it :bunny:

if your ever passing thru dalby-miles area and see me ill be waving, we're few and far between out here

Hey people, I'm Daniel, aka preo (my last name in English, not that I'm a foreigner I've just got a hard to spell surname).

I'm moving up to the Gold Coast in two weeks with my wife and 7 month old. I've been around these forums and nissansilvia.com for a little while now but haven't seen much action in the last two years because the three two has been off the track while I worked on a engine for it. Good news is I've got it all back together and running so now I just need to find a way to get it registered in QLD.

Hope I get to meet some of you in the coming months.

Cheers,

Preo

Oh my I'm naughty! Been on the forum HOW long and I haven't come in to officially say hi to you guys :) Sorry!

I'm Ben, live at Scarborough (Redcliffe) and have a 32 GTS-t. I also built a 32 GTR from scratch many many years ago. My son of rajab I'm feeling old now. lol

Anyways, g'day guys! I'd like to become a Qld paid up member too so I can get invites to your motorsport days. Can anyone link me up?

Cheers! :)

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
