Hey all,

My name is Josh and I have had my 33 GTR almost 12 months now but I have noticed when I am out and about cruising in my beastly that I get alot of the younger skyline drivers (red and green P platers) continue to try and persuade me to crack the BOV. Dont get me wrong theres nothing like the sound of an RB under full boost but I dont think it would setting a good example for these kids. Would love to hear if anyone else has this issue?

Welcome to SAU.NSW Josh :)

Ever noticed that compared to say 5 yrs ago, the ratio of age of GTR owners to age of EVO owners or GTT/GTST owners is such that GTR owners (nowadays) are viewed as more wise on the street and are more inclined to let loose at Texi/Track Days?

Watch out for Events that the Club puts on throughout the year and have a ball!

We'll probably put on a big Event - 21st Anniv of the R33 GTR - in 2016 as well.

And if you join up as a Member straight away you can come to our Tech Arvo on 1/2/14 about Wheel Repairs :)

That's unfortunately part of owning a car that has been hyped so much in video games and such. I generally take it as a compliment by pay them no mind. There's nothing to "prove" on the street and you've already given them the excitement of seeing and hearing your car.

Like Terry said, seeing a GTR let loose on the track or Texi is far more exciting.

Heya JESTER :)

Welcome to the modified car scene!

You'll get that no matter what modified car you drive, every kid wants to see you do something stupid.

I have a 32 GTR and regularly get people that just HAVE to pass. She idles pretty rough and gets a few looks from other modified car owners asking for me to 'give it a hit bro' or 'give it dose bro' hahahaaa

My previous weekender was a big ported RX3 that idled at 2500rpm nearing 100db with a gilmer drive. I had every stereotype try and run me in that thing... (the unusual and most common was fathers driving Taragos surprisingly?!)

Time for some comebacks:

P-plater: Wanna race?

Me: Yeah alright! Watcha got?

P-plater: This!

Me: Yeaaaah naaah, thanks though.

P-plater: Wanna run?

Me: Yeah OK, what have you done down the strip?

P-plater: The strip?

Me: You can't be too serious if you haven't dragged it before, thanks though.

P-Plater: How much power bro?

Me: It's just stock with an exhaust (GTR idle bounces from 900-1000rpm, Cobra seats, stripped interior, 6pt harnesses, 6/4 pot brakes, semi slicks etc)

P-Plater: Oh, OK...

My fave comeback of all time:

V8 Commo driver: Wanna have a go?

Me: Nuh maybe not. She sounds tough for a V6, whatcha done to it?

V8 Commo driver: It's a V8 dickhead.

Me: Oh, sorry, couldn't tell.

Then the usual replies:

"I'm not wasting fuel running a (insert budget car)"

"Not right now, I haven't tuned the new engine for 35psi yet. You live around here? Wanna meet up tomorrow night?"

"Too dangerous on the street with 35psi and no slicks, sorry mate"

I've been driving stupid cars on the street for >15yrs and have laid out my fair share of comebacks ;)

Hope they helped!

Mark :)

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      By Duncan · Posted

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
