Thanks again to Madaz for the NPC clutch he sourced a couple of weeks ago for me - its rad...

Picked the car up with the 33 S2 box and clutch fitted and did a hills run to wear it in. Have to get used to just how firm and precise it is but I finally have all my power going to the wheels.

Winning.

You'll love it ben. Try some hill starts in both forward gears and reverse. My pedal feel changed overnight about the 700 km mark.

Not a bad idea at all!

Also kudos to Shaun and Will at Boostworx for not only getting the job done on time, but they managed to come in under the price they quoted, in spite of having to do extra work. Great service!

^gotta like that! Is that still a five speed box or was that the first of the six speeders Dohmar??

Nah its a 5 speed. Series 2 R33 GTR box (dual synchros tho). Still have many KM to make the gearbox lube up and unlimber. Every gear was stiff when I first started driving but now 3rd and 4th are feeling normal, 1st, 2nd and reverse are getting there, just need to shift in and out of 5th for a bit as theres a lot of pressure when I move the shifter to the right. I'm sure it'll go away in a while (box was stripped and cleaned in many fluids I dont even know the name of and reassembled with martini mineral oil used for the gearbox (not that blue shockproof shite!)

Box had to get converted from pull to push, thankfully BW has done it a lot and they have their procedure down pat...

Inspiring conversation with Matty S this afternoon - you sir are indeed a champion !

hope that helps a little.

yeah i was the fastest in it last (run) simulator event night

its as close to racing without being in a 100k+ race car

there is a weight limit of 90kg based on the seat actuators obviously he could put bigger in but then the build cost blows out

such a shame

thoughts are with Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi too........they must be equally as gutted having been involved in such an unfortunate accident. 2 motorsport deaths in a week, such a shame :(

RIP Simoncelli, one of the most exciting riders to watch this year. live footage is pretty upsetting

He will be certainly missed. Was very sad when I heard that in the news this morning :(

well i tried to run another full blown event but wasn't enough interest so i canned it

Hey I am keen anytime :D

I'm trying to fix my harness in properly and having some troubles. Anyone know where I can get or have made a 10 x 1.25 pitch eye bolt? Very much like the link following

I use Redline in Everything, the Blue smurf blood, shockproof isnt supposed to be used in gearboxes, unless specified(some front wheel drive cars ) , it will damage your synchros since it reduces friction so much the synchros smash . you need to use MTL or 90 weight Redline oil I dont know how many people dont listen to proper advice and blame a product for the failure.

call redline in oz, great people to deal with.

I use 140wt Smurf Blood in the aftermarket LSD. and it lowers the temp a lot and hooks up in a instant, way better then the nissan oil, or synpower crap.

and MTL on my trans,metal part of the shifter never even gets hot now. !!! and synchros dont clash as before , had synpower for a few hours before dumping that out

    • 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.
