i remember reading in that little nissan service book you get (i cant find it now)

a stock r33 gtst doesnt evan need a turbo timer @ 7psi unless your doing like 200km that drive.

Im pretty sure it was something along those lines...

Turbo timers arent cool anyways you get a bit sick of peoples "you left your car on you idiot" comments ;)

Was funny a friend of mine got an intercooler for his n/a supra... "it wasnt to look cool" aparantly.. it was to "weigh the front down" ;)

it wouldnt matter if u were running it for 3 hours or 10 minutes. heat is heat, the components get hot from running. if run for an hour at 7psi highway or run at 12psi city driving for 15 minutes they are probably going to be as hot as each, wouldnt be a mssive difference between the two. try and let it idle for 30 seconds should be plently

ummm.... well my car cools itself down idleing, it will actually get to the point were the oil is too cold to work efficiently and therefor cause damage, so i dont see how u can say that NA cars heat up at idle, thats what radiator fans are for....

im gonna give up on this thread...

haha, theres no push rods in my puppy!! just 4 variable timed overhead cams, works better than VTEC, cause u actually get a considerable power increase when they do their thing, not like a hondas where all that happens is u get a change of exhaust note.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      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 .
