Nice to catch up with some of you guys (Andy Sir_GTR, Munro, Robert Drifty) last Saturday night .... that 6 car drag up Anzac Highway was something to behold! .... 4 cars wide :D

Thanks for taking us back to your pad Munro to show off your sexeh GTRs - they ROCK! I hope you are going to bring one out Friday night .... I would prefer to see the 33 but it might attract a tiny bit too much attention from the boys in blue .... maybe the 34GTR V-Spec might have to make do :shake:

I am looking forward to catching up with the rest of you rowdy mob this Friday!

p.s. so what did you guys think of my new baby? I think it surprised a few people and turned some heads :)

Hey Nightcrawler,

Hope you enjoyed your fish & chips!

Yep, your car looks cool (especially sideways)

You should get it dynoed while it's still standard

Will make a good 'before' figure so when you get the

bug later you can compare.

Cruise on Friday should be good. My brother is bringing

out his 'old school' SLR5000 to keep all us modern boys

on our toes. Wait till you hear his exhaust system - it's a

scream.He's got more autometer gauges than an areoplane!

On a mixed GenIII/skyline cruise it will be a hard decision

whether to bring out the ute or the Vspec.Since it was the utes

turn last cruise I think the Vspec deserves a blast. Hmmm.

Even if the gearbox wasn't busted, the R33 would not be a

very pleasant cruiser, so it will have to wait for the next track day.

Are we all still meeting at Glenelg? Maybe we could meet at the

Kmart on Anzac Hwy where there is more room?

Anyway see you on Friday,

Munro(of the clan Munro)

:lol:

I've got a dyno printout for it Munro .... 124rwkw - 1240kg car

Hence why it goes kinda ok ....

I am not gonna play with it for a while ('cos the 'boss' says I'm not allowed), but when I do the first things will be a Trust Intake and Exhaust setup, which adds 20rwkw straight away. Hopefully this upgrade is not too far off .... just have to convince someone in particular that it is a justified expense :mad: .... wives pfft

Munro,

Sounds like I missed a good night :) Damn!

We've changed the meeting point to the Bunnings cark park @ Mild End (the details are in the 30th cruise thread) Bug's mentioned that the Kmart car park has security that don't like car cruise meets! Hence not going with that option.

It must be tough mate, having to choose btw the VU SS or 34 V spec :mad: Seeing as how the LS1 will be well represented you must bring the 34 :D

See ya' Friday,

Matt

lol I would ban people for such bad behavior public forum talk these days ....

Funny too that I still see Munro and Whatsisname on a very regular basis and they both still have their original cars from 2002 (Matt's awesome R33 TRUST-33, and John's '3litre Streeter' of HPI fame {Doug's old car for those in the know})

err Kahli check the original post date :

That is how it was back in the old days - things (and Skyline) reputations are a LOT different now, as is how we handle forum behavior.

Back then we were out every Saturday night ripping it up, and almost no-one got defected, and the cops didn't even know what Skylines were so we weren't targets etc etc

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
