OH...LOL. Was speaking to Ben about getting car tuned once i have had a little fiddle with the exhaust. He started laughing at me, "so your Roy":( Who has been talking out of school about the Amazing Flaming Roy:)

Seems like a tops bloke and very knowledgeable, general chit chat over the phone has left me at ease/comfortable about the work that will be getting done. So things are looking up for the old girl.

Perhaps its time that i start talking it up again:)

RB20 POWAH:D ...or something resembling power:(

Hey All,

Just had a bit of bad news and looks like an 'unthoughtful' (just j/k) friend has scheduled a funeral on the 5th :(

Will check with the missus about times and stuff like that to see if I can do both....otherwise I have a very hard decision to make :(

(Have you entered with a GTR Shiv?)

I wish. I have a better chance of getting on the track with a shopping trolly at the moment. Not sure how I ended up being listed on there but i've taken myself off. I'll just be the camera bitch again :)

Hey all,

To put the debate to rest.....its a gtst :)

I've had some good news at last and will be able to make it...yay....form sent in today.

Hey Roy I'm still waiting to see how my line goes against yours on a track.....you going to make this round??

Ok - Im going to meet up with the WRX Club motorsport committee tomorrow night to cover a few things. Including the requirement for a tow hook. It's in their sup req's but currently I don't think any of us have got them so I will confirm if they are required.

I've also heard that the wrx scruteneer's may not like the positioning of where most of us keep our extinguishers. (In the back) Again I will check this out so that we don't have issues at the first meet.

Finally - geoff - I think we have a newbie that needs a bonnet strap. Cheers mate.

I dont now about R33/34s, but R32s do have tow hooks std, so may just need a decal to show safety crews the location.

I suspect if you look under your cars they have tow hooks std, how else do they get your car onto a table top truck...or am i missing something?!?!?!?!

Is the 3rd GTR Marcus?

Yeah but they may require an external tow hook because your car may be burried in a sand trap. I dunno. I know you can get external tow hooks - I personally dont want to have to get one however.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
