I'll have to pull it down, but i'm guessing the valvle didn't close properly for what ever reason, and it gas axed the side out of it. We checked plugs, injectors, and ignitor on the side of the road.

We rounded that GT2 up 2 stages in a row!! There will be more stages uploaded soon.

I wondered what happened! I saw you were 3rd going into the last day and then finished 5th. Time for a 2jz?

It was 2nd, and no shitty Toyota engine is going in my car. I've done a different thing each time from the bottom up, so now i'm at the top, the next engine will be fine.

Rinadeena looks like an amazing stage...absolutely hammering! Suspension looks planted. OK, time to start flogging your spec Penskes to the rest of us :)

I did almost poo my pants at 10:25 when the car jumped sideways. If you want some I can put you onto my tuner, he organised all the valving. still learning a lot about setting them up, but being able to adjust hi and low speeds separatly makes a big diference in changing conditions. Any good shock can have my valving applied Penske/ohlins (sweedsh)/mca/proflex.... But it's probably cheaper to get the Penske's out of the states, and revalve them here

the bloke that done the specks on the shocks is about to do the same thing to a old set of jap ohlins that i got ahold of. they only have one twiddle valve but he said he will get them close enough.

this year ben adjusted the shocks at least every other stage and the car got faster by the end of each day and once it rained he new what way to go with them. it would take a few club days to dial these in perfect so its not a set and forget part. just for anyone elce thinking they mite like to spend the money. beauty of a bilstein is you cant adjust it. haha.

Starting to sound like a 300zx, 5 days... Engine out Lol! I won't touch it next year, promise!

PS where is the adjustment on the Penske's??? The KW we ran were easy to adjust on the front, but UBER gay on the rear.. especially on the side of the road between stages

c'mon a 300zx need a engine out every stage.

The penske's are upside down (shaft at the bottom), and the remote canisters are under the boot and bonnet (high and low speed bump), so the bump is super easy. Rebound is on the bottom of the shock, and required laying on the ground. But I didn't change the rebound very often.

haha well you were damn luck it was running at all.

I'd be pulling, checking and cleaning the head. When I snapped a cam it f**ked the tunnel as well and it needed to be machined straight again. Also, you will have aluminium everywhere including the sump.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
