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

atleast he walk 10sec

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

atleast he walk 10sec

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

thats the only twot things you reckon?

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

do your homework before you throw you keyboard around.

SLY - yer, could well be why the car wasnt right @ MAS. It blew the next day afterall lol.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
