I competed in Round 2 of the NSW Supersprint CHPS at Wakefield Park today (first time on Wakefield Park) and had a best time of 1.11.69. Finished 4th in SVD and 18 th overall. (84 starters). The R33 GTS-t was well down on power this weekend as i had a power run with Dyno Dave on the way down to Goulburn on Saturday and was down to 202kw from 240kw previously. I'm going to have to try and find out where the missing kw are. Next round is on the GP Circuit at Oran Park in 1 month.

1:11 is moving along nicely.  My best is 1:15 with stock turbo but I have just installed a GCG highflow myself.  Twill be interesting.

You will be giving a 1:11 - 1:10 a big scare with the extra grunt and the RE55s, :D

And bugger, im off the Wakefield top 10:( Need to get back there with the new turbo and sticky rubber:)

And the Winton times are starting to get pretty serious:) LOL, i reckon my car can still improve in the order of 4-5 seconds around palce like PI and Sandown, but at Winton ill be amazed if i can get a 1:40.00 - 1:40.50:(

Hey Troy,

Update my 1st post with a time for Oran Park GP Circuit.

1:23.9

but there's plenty more in her left, this was done with the brakes going to the floor and entering corners with the rear wheel locked half the time.

Made the mistake of trial testing some new front pads in developement for a friend. After 15 laps the fronts had disintergrated and the rears after doing all the work went down to the backing plate.

Made drifting easier thou!!!

This was the first time i have been out on the track so give me a break :Pimp2:

What did you end up doing engien wise after the probs you were having a while ago?

I ended up with a 2nd hand RB20 which was never quite as good as the original one that now resides on the floor of a dirty workshop somewhere in Queanbeyan.

My turbs is still hanging in there although after a couple of hot shut downs after 1 exploding radiator and heaps of cooler pipe probs, it has begun burning a bit of oil.

Still i'm getting 200kw @ rw and that's plenty at the moment.

Waiting for either AP Engineering version of a Power Fc or else i'm just gonna plug a Haltec or Motec up. With the GTR injectors i've got and the turb pushing over 1.5 bar i'm hoping for mid 200's at the rear until the standard internals lunch themselves.

Not sure whether anyone has made mention of this (I haven't read all of the thread).

Some of the times put up for eastern creek are surprising. I saw a GTR do a 1.55 which is the equivalent time to the time done by a brand new SS commonwhore in Motor magazine. The GTR had a few mods too (suspension and engine). I'm surprised the GTR is not significantly faster. I know the Holden's have heaps of power these days (for stock cars) though wouldn't think their suspension and braking would be that good.

I guess they had a professional driver do the laps so that could have saved a couple of seconds combined with the fact that it is not their car so wouldn't be as worried.

What are your thoughts?

Well I can't comment on the gtr doing 1.55s...maybe it was on really crap tyres? or the driver hadn't done many laps there?

The best street gtr time I've seen was 1.49 by an F3 driver who I guess can steer OK, we are hoping to get close to that with the combined touring car.

But we have certainly been wondering what it is about the air in NSW that makes GTSts quicker on all the tracks....it doesn't seem to be the same in Vic? Maybe as you get closer to the equator the 2nd turbo looses its power?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
