You wont hit the limiter in 5th but i certainly hit redline in 4th and it was still going. God knows what the speedo was reading. Everything was happening so quickly.

You're doing about 190km/h indicated at approx 6000 rpm in 4th. The limiter is 7x00 rpm in a 35.

I just watched my video of myself doing it again to make sure.

meh, bit of artistic licence never hurt anyone... too much. lol

"The delivery of the power took me completely by surprise and as i went up through 4th and 5th and into 6th, i was beginning to think i needed to show the car a bit more respect. I changed gears instinctively but the GTR drew me into reaching for the redline in each change"

"Shifting up into 5th and then into 6th from around 80kph takes only a few seconds. I wasn't even 100% aware i was shifting at its 7000 rpm redline, thanks to the sensory overload going on infront of me,"

I must admit when I read those two passages I was a bit wtf?!? ;) but didn't want to say anything lest I be accused of having it in for you. I don't care really. I don't doubt at all you drove it. and well done, you certainly beat me to it. but I'm not so convinced on the whole redlining the gears part of the story...

I think he must have his gears mixed, he said he was doing 65kmh and just over 2000 rpm in 6th. Unless he meant he was in 4th , thats closer to the mark.

Changing your Avatar is inexcusable ! :)

mate i would have loved to have kept it but some out there in cyberspace were putting pressure on the mods to have it changed - Do it for the children!!..sooo..i didnt have a choice really.

I dont know what the big deal was with it anyway..there wasnt even any nudity in it. Just a chick with an ipod and yep, well she did have nice boobs...not that you could see em or anything... Anyhoo..

must have been the unbuttoned fly or something?

Had a bit of a laugh at the "long legs" comment.

Couldn't stop thinking of South Park...."You have very big peeeeeenus"

The whooshing of the wind and the slight whine of the turbos at 1.2 bar of boost as you're approaching the wrong side of the "law" is simply addictive.

Just wondering you say 1.2 bar but when I read the official specs it says the turbos deliver 10.5psi? 1.2 bar makes more sense but just want to know if you or anyone else can clarify. Btw good read

He made a mistake. The R35 GTR peaks at 0.7bar. Around 10.5psi. (I think he added the other half a bar from what he had in his pants)

I made a quick video of the MFD in full screen boost gauge mode while i ran up through a few gears but i cant be bothered to upload it... Just take my word for it :/

Cheers mate, since initially reading 10.5psi I have been wondering what power it would make at 1.2bar or more with stockers. (edit before some smart arse comments) That is once modders crack the factory ecu

      Shockabsorber 101

      KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?

      By benl1981 · Posted

      Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all

      LandCruiser used to get a fluid flush every 12 to 18 months.   Only because it was about that often the electric motor on the master for brake assist kept dieing and needing to come off.
