EVL R33,

I will be going down on my debut run, but I don't expect that I'll keep up with you. Has anything been done to it yet? What tyres are you running? I'll be taking two set, my fat hard as dried dog-turd 265's and my brand new hopefully sticky 255 TPG's.

I'm sure I won't be able to miss your new car.

Hope to see you there.

Dude,

the R is stock as a rock except for twin plate clutch and full exhaust. I have no idea what times to expect, so I'm not going to make any predictions in regards to times/wins etc.. I have a Power FC Pro with 15psi, cam gears and new panel filter lined up for early in the new year so that should make a bit of difference then....

As far as tyres go I'm running 255's but have no idea of brand... Thankfully now I don't need to worry so much about tyre pressure (gotta love the ATTESSA PRO)...:D

What colour is your car, I'll keep an eye out for ya...

Brett

EVL R33,

I'll have the gun-metal gray R33 GTS-t, I've got red anodised rims, but currently the 265's on the back are silver, so it looks like a drift car. I'm planning on changing wheels once I have a few runs under my belt.

I'm sure even with those mods you should pull a low 13 no probs. Have you sourced cam gears yet, as I'm doing a group buy once we can decide which brand to get.

See'ya:burnout:

I've ordered a set of JUN cam gears. I was looking at HKS but was told by a couple of reputable guys that they have used them and had problems with teeth breaking and wearing out due to them being made of aluminium..

the JUN cams will cost me around $600 (IN and EX) for the RB26, not sure what the single for GTST's will be.. I can talk to the guy I'm getting them off for a group price if you like..

I think I've seen your car before, do you live / hang around south of the river, canning vale area a bit???

Brett

Yeah that sounds like me. I 've just posted about the cam gears in the Performance section, yes the HKS cams are apparently less reliable, made out of cheaper aluminum.

I am trying to get pricing on Toda, OS Giken and Jun cam gears, will likely be buying 5 sets so I'm after a discount on price and freight. If you have a good contact then I'd be happy to hear.

See'ya

Croydon Racing Development over east is a JUN supplier and they quoted me a good price for RB26's, you can try them but they want cash up front.....

Speedworks here in perth are JUN distributers too and they matched the Croydon price for me so I went through them. If you ring make sure you talk to Glen cause he knows the current pricing of the cam gears.

Brett

The JUN cam gears are full steel, and I'm told use more bolts to hold the adjustment so there is less chance of slippage (HKS apparently do that too)....

They are not as pretty as HKS ones, but I intend of leaving the cover on anyway, I'm just after reliable power increases these days not ricey looks....:D

Brett

hmpf, I'd love to come down again and have a race but I won't.

Not until i

A. Learn to drive/launch properly

B. Get some more mods on my car.

The best I managed to pull was a 14.86 @ 151km/h which is pretty piss poor i think.

I'm running stock boost, I don't get ALL that much wheelspin in 1st.. and 2nd gear only a chirp :D

I've got an average 2.3-2.4 second 60' times so I think that's pretty OK. I'm happy there :)

The first few runs ever was high-15s... i didnt know what i was doing.

Next on the list is a POD filter, and 10psi boost (that bleed valve thing didnt work Troy!)

I agree, Rice=unreliable, I think that HKS should be more concered with the performance than the nice shiny anodised crap. I think HKS use 3 bolts, while Toda use 4.

I'm mainly after a good price with good reliability, not paying extra for the rice factor.

Strich9ine,

Come down anyway, I can fix the boost problem, so you run max boost all night, and how are you going to improve your launches without more practice. It will be my first time so you can have someone to laugh at, stalling the launch etc.

The more the merrier, otherwise it feels like the Holden guys own the place.

See'ya:burnout:

hahah, thanks dude's....

I'm thinkin of giving it a rest till after Xmas (let's see what santa brings me!)

then I'll try it again!

read: bleed valve and POD :)

plus my car's going in for warranty work (read: 5th gear vibration like yours gtst vspec!) so I dont know if it'll be fixed before wed. night :D

we'll see...

14.5 with a power FC??

Thats a fairly poor effort, no effence EVL.

Although I can't talk considering a blew my clutch.........

But my 13.74 is pretty good I think, Love to have a power FC though.

I'm happy with the S-AFC for the time being, untill my wolf 4 :D

Hey Hicks,

My mate said that skylines will tend to go considerably faster when the clutch is just starting to slip, so when you have the new clutch you'll probably be back in the 14's.:shake:

EVL R33,

I'm sure that with decent traction then 13's will be easy, I can't wait to check out your car and give you suggestions on how we could turn it into a 9sec drag car.

First thing we'll do is strip the interior, then we'll.................................... (hours later) and lastly we need to find someone who knows how to drive your car.:lol:

Hope there will be a good turnout.

See'ya:burnout:

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
