I saw OBEHVE at calder last night..... what a monster!! Black R33 GTST

What is its best time??? i have done a search and it seems like a well known car but couldnt find a consistent time....

A young guy was driving it but it looked like he couldnt get the power down for a while, but when it picked up, christ did it move!!!!

I saw under the bonnet, looks like BIG dollars have been spent on it.....

Yes OBEHVE is a monster and no it wasn't written off ages ago....I know this 'cause the owner has a few things done at ATP where I get my car worked on. If fact the GTR rear wing on my car was originally OBEHVE's.

The young guy driving it hasn't had much experience with the car running the figures it is atm so I wouldn't be surprised if it was sideways 1/2way down the 1/4!!! The owner of ATP often gets to drives it down the 1/4 'cause he can keep it straight :cheers:

yer, the owner doesnt actually race it @ calder. I've had a chat to him a number of times. He seems to be pretty cool. Been running on and off for 6 months or so.

It runs a big auto :thumbsdown:

Personal opinion... do it in a skyline... do it with a manual

Ash......yeah mate he isn't a bad bloke. The car used to be a manual but when it started pushing 300+kw at the wheels it was impossible keeping her straight thru 2nd and 3rd gears......the solution was found by fitting a manual-ised auto box. Apparently she stays very straight thru the gears under full noise now :P

wtf are you on about?

Ya ant, but manual is half the fun of the skyza!

I must say though, i dunno how all these people are sideways in 2nd with 220-250rwkw when they come on boost or whatever.

i certainly aint with my car if i do a tidy gear change from 1st to 2nd.

Ash.....I know how much fun the manual is...I own one :P

Mate your car isn't putting out enough torque if you can't get sideways with the mods you've done......I had my car dynoed a couple of weeks ago and I'm getting sideways in 2nd and 3rd gears. Also thats with no gear change, I was in 3rd and hit the loud pedal thru the floor = soooo many Nm.....

mmm... manual :P

you guys must be running some dodgy tyres or something i reckon.

i made 275kw @ race pace, drove home without a problem. As long as i dont go silly in 1st, 2nd was a breaze, and the car has a pretty phat graph. So it's not as if its only making power in 1000rpm.

I can get it sideways if i pop clutch, or just keep it sideways from a hard launch in 1st, but anyone can do that. Im talking 2nd, from 20km/h or so.

I get a squeal of tyre, but certainly not slide-ways.

Hrm. Once i get it back again (turbo spat a bearing) we'll see how it goes with more road "testing" ;)

Ash is this the turbo you got at a special price that shat itself??:D

LOL hasent it only done about 3000km??

Was this the backyard leb spec turbo special??? :(

I made 255kw @ 1 bar at racepace and if i go from 0km/h in second and floor it mine will wheel spin from 4000rpm to 7500rpm with 255 rear tyres. At 1.4 bar its even worse and 3rd gets slidy also.

denham. sh*tup you keyboard warrior. honestly, get over it will you.

there are many things that can cause a turbo to fail that fast.

maybe use your keyboard to find some of them? U seem to use it a fiar bit

Ash I dont need to use my keyboard as my turbo not blowing up for over 10,000km says it all :)

Only thing that can cause a brand new turbo to fail so quick is that it was made badly in the first place or you had a oil/water problems causing the bearing to fail from getting too hot

lol. you've got no idea. There is a massive amount of things.

do your homework before you throw you keyboard around.

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.

      Shifting questions

      Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
