Also, anyone with an r33 gtst here pulling mid to low 13's.

i've got a 3'' turbo back exaust with dump pipe and hi flow catt,

custom front mount, trust air filter, s-afc and 14 pounds of boost. apparently I should be able to run 13.5ish but I can only get low 14's! only been down to motorplex twice. Think its my lauches,

Yer no shit ay, I'm up for a cruise some time very soon, has been a looong time!!

Yer you should be running mid 13s man but I dunno, it could be your launches....have you done a run at motorplex yet?

[Hicks]

yeah I been motorplex twice, first time I had better better times than last wednesday. think it was the weather though.

how should ya launch em?

anyone else's r33 goes click, click, click, click, click, click, click,

from the air con vents when you start her up?

[R34]

Low 14's are still nothing to be ashamed of.

Good enough to waste 99% of anything HSV can produce:)

[phat25t]

haha thats easy to say coming from you man....100% of hsv's in your case :headbang:

[R34]

The only holden that got me was a new 300kw gts monaro.

but i'd give him another go now that ive had my s-afc re tuned.

I've already pulled my dash off twice now to install the el white faced gauges on the dash, one more time won't hurt.

what actually makes the noise?

So when is the next cruise?

Get some susupension bushes m8 appaerntly they help with traction off the line quite alot. U get less axle tramp and that kinda stuff so u can really throw it off the line. Do a search for 'pinapples' and u should find something.

Hicks, your black r33 looks incrediably like a r32 to me. Maybe I'm going blind. To run into the 13's you need a low 60 foot time, around 2.1-2.3, which means you need good off the mark traction. Whiteline make a diff craddle kit, its 4 poly-urethene bushes that adjust the rear craddle for maximum traction. Also a good set of tyres, dunlop f901's or sp9000's will do the trick and depending on your rim size. If you've got a nice set of 17x9" deep dish rims you can stretch some 255/35 or something over them, maybe 235/45. you want something with a fair amount of sidewall for flex when you launch. btw: I've only got a cat back exhaust, electronic boost controller set to 0.8bar, hks pod filter, heavy duty clutch and a set of 225/55 r16 dunlop sp9000's and I ran a 14.11 wednesday night just gone. Rev210 (dave) has got a turbo back exhaust, running around 8-10psi boost and he ran a 13.8!

yeah now that I think of it, my suspension is fairly ****ed!

[Hicks]

nah, its deffinetly an r33. The only difference on mine is that I have had the rear nissan badge(boot lock) removed and filled over. Some tosser ripped it off!

My rims could be a problem, there 245's but theres not much side wall as the rim size is 19''. Looks good though!

[JH32]

19s ..... sweeeeeet

[rob77]

19"?? or 18"? Ah well, no good for dragging then. Until you get a different set of rims on the back with different tyres it's pretty trivial.

Rob

[Hicks]

its an r33!

there 19''!

[deesh]

i think i saw you on leach hwy near risely st a couple of times, the bootlock has been filled, and its still got grey primer right?

I have seen 2 different black R33s there, but i definately saw 'hicks' i could be wrong about the primer though.

Nice car all the same.

mine does that.. sometimes when i turn the car on it does so and the climate control wont turn on until its all clicked out.. im thinking its the air directional doozies or some crap *shrug*..

if it aint broke.. dont fix it.
