My new baby is booked in a week today, I dont think I'll need to post yet another good review as they all speak for themself's but I guess another can only add to the reputation of this fine gentleman.

Speaking to him on the phone he explained a lot of things to me (as a beginner "car enthusiast" I dont always understand what is actually under the bonnet of my '93 R33 GT-S25t) and he was quite polite and understanding, even suggesting a parts shop and other things.

NismoGirl is he located on the northern or southern end of Gibbs St?

southern end.

i know i know - im not nismo girl but hey.

That's ok Ill forgive you this time! :wassup:

No the whole point was so that I could post this pic showing where he is and the surrounding area.

That way people can either decide to go to the shopping centre or take a book, it looks like there are several parks nearby or go for an extended walk to the beach.

Also it helps people find him.

My baby is going to be dropped off at 8:30am on the 30th and it is the one in my avatar, less the 4w smoke as it is only a GT-S25t but looks cool in my avatar.

But it is black, so I usually have to have the aircon running for it to be a bearable tempature in the cabin after it has been sitting in the sun for like 10 seconds :P

If you want to see up close and personal pics then I got some here:

BUT they are not small, pretty huge actually, but because I have broadband it does not really worry me, but if you are on dial-up I would not suggest looking at them as they are just of a stock '93 R33, nothing special, except it's mine :D

oops yeah my bad edited the post :)

Yeah I took the car to RACQ to get inspected as it was a private sale and RACQ found cracks running into the back mags, which were ugly BBS aluminium so I picked out a cheap new set and hey presto!

well picked the car up this afteernoon. all i can say atm IS O M G !!!!

the whole place is just great, very helpful.

the gtr is now FLYING !! it hoots. doing a powerrun dyno and new plugs next week :>

Hey, do you work around Coopers Plain

i saw a white GTR looks like yours several times when i finish work

pretty nice R33 GTR

Hey guys I work at the Northern end of the Gold Coast does that count?

Not that I want to change my signature anyways (the new V-Bulletin upgrade won't allow a sig as long as mine anymore) just thought I would ask though ;)

More than welcome //exus9... 6 members and counting. ;)

Yeah, new V-Bulletin software thought it would be funny to play havoc with my sig this arvo too... I want to change my avatar as well but I'm a bit wary ATM.

Back on topic though, Gavin is the man! Did my timing belt, drive belts, tensioner, idler and water pump about 3 months ago. I'm a harsh critic and I honestly couldn't fault the workmanship...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
