Just wondering...

We ***** an apparently "STOCK" R33 on saturday night. It looked pretty stock but who knows.

Our car has:

3" turbo back haust

Boost Controller (11psi high boost)

Blitz BOV and Standard (is this our problem??)

K&N Filter (were running a HKS one but it was too loud (and the foam was crumbling))

If the other was stock and we have this done to our car.. how could it be faster??

I had two in my car (including me) and he had 3...

I'm just shocked...

:eek:

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Best place to see what you can to is Willowbank on tune and race nights. Next being Wed 19th. Cost $27 for you, car and one other(pit crew). It's pretty casual and you get as many runs as you can fit in depends on how many cars are there. See you there???

Could be a number of things.

Weight (you had more people in it, my car is even slow with 3)

Clutch (yours may be slipping a bit )

Tyres (his may have been great off the line)

ecu (he may have had an aftermarket ecu which you can't see)

I wouldn't be to concerned abotu loosing, I used to get ticked off when I got beaten by gemini's and swifts but then I realised that so long as my car is running well then the fact is that the other person simply has a faster car.....bit like what people think when I beat them I guess, some spend more on mods than others ??

I'm not really *worried* or *stressing* about it its just that its a bit of a piss off really!!

I've gotta find myself a job before too long so we can keep the thing on the rod.

And Boostmeister... I had 2 people. He had three so weight wasn't really an issue.

The payments for the car actually come out of my pay in the way. The rego and insurance is coming out of my pay in the bank. The petrol goes on my credit card and then my pay pays the credit card off..

Are you trying to say that its his car I just think its mine??

my wife drive our car all the time I don't ahve a problem with it you should see thelook on her face when I winded up the boost.

now we have stock turbo she wants the power back.

so guess what hte turbo is being hiflowed

cheers

meggala

some times you just loose my car looks stock but has lots of goodies as well and no noisy bov either

Three different people told me this car was stock after all going over and looking under the bonnet. I didn't go look cause i wouldn't of had a clue what i was looking for!!

He only just got it a few days before that. So ...

What internal mods can be done that cant be seen that could make him fasT??

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
