cheers russ

ahh So this is the R33, man that is awsome!. Would love to see it in the flesh. Do ya think you will finish it, and get a chance to get it out on the track for some fun in the October Timeattack, before ya sell it?. would love to see that!

cheers,

dale

Love the old ZED!!!

What do you do after you take the car off the road for close to 12 months tidying up the bodywork? Well you go to Sandown and get it wrong and end up doing this :)

Hmm, nasty. The car seems very loose in the back, even when not on power. What suspension did it have in it when you smaked the wall?

lol I don't think so somehow - even less likely now its been shown a gtr can beat those pesky rx7s with the restrictors in

To be fair to CAMS (something I hate doing) at least gtrs are eligible for sports sedans now - will be interesting to see the first person brave enough to try that.....hopefully Mr B will give it a shot sometime :thumbsup:

here are a few videos of my car from Eastern Creek on the weekend:

Catching a Commodore through turn 1:

Passing a few cars:

A full clear lap:

I ended up doing 1:52.15, which was ok but I was aiming for sub 1:50s. Apparently I'll need non cooked second hand tyres for that!

That sounds great, mate. Good stuff!

*** DISCLAIMER ***

Car's owner doesn't understand all those bendy bits he keeps seeing in your photos. Talk slowly and in words of three syllables or less and he probably won't brain haemorrhage.

Here's my nugget - broken at the moment but will be back soon to try and take some sort of obscure, non-existent racing record like most drag racers tend to do. >_< Built RB25DET, GT35, Ford C4, Nitrous, Turbosmart everything, Autronic SM4, Roundy-roundy suspension etc.

Pics are from WSID (my home away from home) and Willowbank Raceway where the only time the steering wheel is needed is when the burnout gets out of shape. Oh, and for that mongrel of a hairpin at the end of the track.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
