Hi guys, I just got back from melb where I picked myself up series 1 r33 with a gt3040. It’s an absolute beast! I had a few fun times overtaking several trucks when I wasn’t expecting the turbo to spool up quite so quickly. It’s been 2 years since I had a turbo rwd Nissan and had no idea how much I missed boost!

Anyway im wondering if anybody can help me out with a road worthy. The only real knock backs are the BOV and 3" exhaust with 4.5" tip. The screamer rejoined to exhaust and alot of other normal defects arnt present on this car. My old man use to do them and none of his contacts really want to touch something that is quite this loud

Anyway thanks for your help with this and I look forward to meeting up with some of you in the future.

Dave,

Thanks for the help guys. i have had a few offers of places that may be able to help me out. Once my clutch is sorted i will let you guys know how i go. I dont want to fit a silencer as the zorst doesnt have holes for it so if i can get round that i will.

Yeah love the roads round here. There are some serious twistes out this way

If you want to quieten it just for the RWC just stuff a bit of steel wool in the end pipe, should burn out within a few days

although some of you with the 3.5"rs may be stuffing for a while >_<

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
