some of you know me, most dont but i've been around here for a while figuring out what i want to do with my car. ive taken it off the road indefinitely so i can stop having to deal with tricking cops into giving me easy defects to clear when i get pulled over - which i'm a pro at now.

for those who have track cars - what advice can you give me? i need a cheap car trailer, where can i hire/buy one for cheap?

i've had bad luck with this car from dodgy built motors (three) to my vipec ECU shitting itself (twice). i just want to drive, i dont want to take it to any workshops anymore - they're all shit.

ideally id like to drop it off at a workshop and play with it after hours. i could use space at my factory complex but its 20mins away and i dont have the patience to move my stuff there.

i've got a fuel system ready to go. hx35 i want to fit. rb2530 i want to freshen up (ill rape the rb25 for now though). i can do all this myself but any advice or help from anyone around bankstown would be sweet :)

cheers

joe

I dare say if this car has issues sell it on and buy one thats been done properly from the start or buy a stock one and do it yourself from the start. I too have been thinking of not registering my car anymore and having a track car but some things to keep in mind.

How often do you drive the car?

Do you enjoy just starting it up, going for a drive and taking it to club events?

Will you take it to enough events to warrant having a track car?

I personally love driving mine and drive it as often as I please, it isnt a daily so just when I feel. Im not so sure Id track it enough days to get out of my car as much as i do now.

i dont drive it anymore because dodgy blue slips are starting to get expensive and i hardly drove it out. the only benefit would have been to and from events but im not too fussed.

selling it is not an option. beer fridge and tool set are good to go too. my only problem is i cant weld, otherwise i'd have this done.

reliability is something im working on too. id rather adjust the tune for safety over keeping it standard. i might change my mind as i go.

the only problem im having now is the ECU not switching the main relay off after i switch the ignition off. i dont even want to send it back to vipec, a kill switch that does the same thing would do. does anyone know how?

You'll need what fatz said....

Then....

Car that can tow 2.5t easily and legally.

(r33 weighs 1400? Trailer will be 500kg min then tools)

my105.com.au have car trailers for sale all the time. I paid 1500 second hand but is built for small gay cars like mine. Rego is 167 a year plus pink slip.

As for car, I do agree with Matt to some point. More stock, longer it'll go! Even fatzseseses GTR with minor bolt ons can do 300 laps of Wakefield with no issues!

If just doing drift/speed off street days I'd just get standard motor, usual oil and intercooler mods, then good brake pads and fluid, some basic coilovers and have some fun.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
