Hi all,

Just got a r33 last week and was wondering where do you guys meet up and what do you do?

Cheers.

PS: Whats a good compression test result for a RB25? Mine was 130-135 on all cylinders..

G'day, welcome to Brisbane. Well the first thing to do is try and become a SAU QLD member that way you can get a discount card for a lot of your services. For car alarms etc, I'd recommend Northfield Car Sound. The service at their Moorooka store is pretty good. As for meeting up, there are Chilli nights (see the Chilleh Town! - Happy hour my ass... thread) but as far as cruising goes, it seems to be on a random basis. The really big ones like Massive Skylines Cruise to Lake Baroon was awesome (80+ Skylines).

80 skylines? Man that'd be enough to put any cop into a defect inspired seizure :lol: Thanks for the reply choyda.

Thursday nights are fun when someone organises them - meet up, have a chat, go for a spirited drive, park somewhere, have a chat, go home.

JB hi fi do a perfectly good job with alarms and not too expensive, the bloke who installs them at the Kedron JB does heaps and knows what he is doing.

Enjoy owning the line!

NIce R33!!! love the kit!

friday nights lot of v8s and imports go up to harry's diner.. Usually decent on a clear night.

I think thursdays people go up to aspley shopping center

Then you have broadbeach car park on sat night. But I haven't beenthere for a while since the cops have been a pain.

post-9125-1124500198.jpgYes, very nice kit. Both understated and aggressive at once! Nice clean car. I would combine an alarm and separate immobiliser as one backs up the other! Hidden switch immobilisers are cheap and good insurance while the alarm should deter idiots but not those in it for the money. If they want it, they will take it. I've seen many reports of thieves using flatbed tow trucks and just driving off with the car to play with the alarm at their leisure. :P

Thanks for the kind words guys... I actually think the kits a bit over the top for my tastes but its growing on me. I beleive its a top secret front bar, veilside skirts and a trial rear bar but not 100% sure.

Working something out with chris (audioexpress) for the alarm... Its already got an immobiliser at the moment.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
