if it is a R32 box and the fuse is pulled so pump can't prime, it will be rwd just like an R32..

there is also another method outlined in the workshop manual which involves pulling the bleed connection, which is above your right knee when in drivers seat, then when you turn the ignition on press the brake pedal 5 times quickly and awd light will flash and you are in rwd...

either will be fine

or install Full Race ETS pro controller, has a switch, much easier

Sweet. Well the shaft idea works as we all know. But it's pretty hard to heat up the rears prior to a 1/4 in 4wd. I run achillies 123s and find them bloody great but way better with a bit of heat in them. I'm going to try the switch on the pump trick. Sound pretty ligit if it's in the manual.

So kick panel next to drivers feet.

Pump with two wires.

Un plug. Or use switch

Pump break until light flashes and stays flashing.

Rwd.

Turn car off.

Plug back in. Or use switch

Turn on.

4wd. Launch with hot tyres.

pretty much, but the plug you are looking for is tucked up near the bonnet release. I've had 2 R33's and on the 97 series3 it was yellow wires white plug, but on my 95 it is yellow wire brown plug, its just a connector with one wire out either side..

Ok sweet. Mines a 96 so could be either. So I put a missile switch in line on which wire? Thanks mate. Really sound advise. I don't mess with stuff until I'm sure I'm not going to kill my baby. First chance to do a ligit 1/4 this Friday night. I'd say it will get banned first pass though. She's not slow! It really shows it's power from 140+ and LOVES 250+. But... No cage.

Go back thru that link I posted and on the second page there is pic of the connector you are looking for. Should be the brown one. Just replace that with a switch. Have a good read of all 3 pages.

Good luck at the drags. Let us know what u run.

There is no plug with one wire going in each side sadly. I can't for the life of me find it. There is literally no plug. There is however a white plug with two yellow and green wires. Is that it?

Probably. Just pull the plug out to see. The light should come on on the dash. then follow the procedure. If its the right one then just insert a switch in the circuit.

Cheers. Will do. It pisses in 11's but here's hoping for a ten. Big on drive it how it is on the street so sub and seats stay in...

You'd hope so, you only need 450-470rwhp in a full weight 33 to get in the low 11s and 120-124 mp. zone :-)

With 600+... Shouldn't even need to warm tyres, should just do it even with a average launch and tie power will sort the rest out

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      im sure mine stays in gear and wont shift unless i shift it? and for sure it wont go back to Auto mode if its put in manual mode? if i use paddles but its still in D then of course it goes back to auto mode. but yer if its in -+ and i use paddles it will not auto change gears what so ever and i have tried this. it will gear down if at a stop though which is kinda nice but goes back to 1st gear not D. i think it used to be like this with imports aswell i dunno if its really like it anymore like when i got my R33 it had alot of JDM options which local cars didnt have. Now local cars have kinda caught up even the lower models. but yer transfer rates and other things makes it almost on par.

      Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want.

      It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
