I was interested in the Capa set up, but after going to Melbourne to see simon at Nizpro I decided to purchase one of his stage II bolt-on upgrade kits.As this is my tow ute I am not keen on going further than that, & just wanted a simple, ready made kit.The R&D on these kits is impressive & the product look great - hope it goes well too.

The street GTR is the one I am excited about - should have it by the end of the week.

whats invoved with the stage 2 nizpro setup Munro, and the $$ involved, i dont think we will be modding either of our utes for a whhile thats what the skylines are for but in a while it would be good.

Also good to see both your cars are getting there Munro, cant wait for the 4,6 rotor nats

Glad to hear everything is progressing nicely now John! Can't wait for a ride in Drift-6 .... it's really going to be something else :)

/me giggles like a little girl in excited anticipation

I'll keep the ford stuff in the XR6Turbo forum where it should be - there will be plenty of time to check the ute out next year when it's done Clint.

In the meantime - are ther any plans to go for a cruise before the middle of Jan?

Be good to catch up with those of you I have not seen for a while.

John,

i didnt get to see under the bonnet of your "street " gtr but knowing some of the good gear thats been "borrowed " for the streeter it will be an awsome package!(it was on the hoist) However i have been up close and personel with some of the work that has been carried out on the race car motor and this does look very impressive---love the engineering that has been put into the car and more recently the motor,and im sure the car hasnt run anywhere near its potential yet.I think i can say on behalf of the sa contingent good luck,we wait and watch with much anticipation---bring it on!!!!

Regards,

SKYLINE...(Kym)

Martin any probs yet with the xr6t manual box, im getting mine in a week or so and have ordered a manual for the work hack.

XR6 Turbos have several chronic problems

Noisy gearboxes

VCT solenoids

Software bugs

Faulty O-Rings in the water pump

Faulty PCV Valves

Aerial Module problems

and general other fit and finish stuff

The R&D on these kits is impressive & the product look great - hope it goes well too.

Looks like we have a little challenge coming up John! I was talking to Mick late yesterday and he tells me you are going out to the track in the XR6 once he has finished setting it up (early next week?). Cool! How about some farmyard action, with XR6T versus VYII Tonner? That would make for some great drag racing. Keep in mind the Ute muster drags - 23-25th Jan AIR

More mods coming on the "Plan C" tonner before then Tuna?

A farmyard battle sounds like fun Martin.Ute drags in Jan could be a goer.

Mark,Mick & Tyson have done a great job on the R33.It only needed some light tuning & a few accessories fitted but was not completely finished, so rather than rush them, we will leave the last finishing touches till the new year.

I'm dissapointed not to be able to run the engine in over the holidays - but thats modified cars for you. It did sound very tough on the dyno, & the pfitzner gearbox feels great.

Of course Cheeky, you will be taking shotgun honours when the car is driven.

After all the cruising I have been doing with you, It will be nice for you to be the passenger for a change. :)

On another note - whats the deal with cabin changing Drag combat to the same weekend as our 4,6&rotor nationals here in Adelaide???

Obviously, the NSW cars will not come across when there is an event for them in Sydney, & why would Keir & I spend thousands to travel there when we can run our GTRs here? Doesn't make any sense to me!

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • 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?
