Nissan Skyline do you like

HAVING the right car for the conditions has helped local motor sport ace Stuart Inwood “clean up” during round five of the NSW Hillclimb Championships held at Grafton earlier this month.
Inwood took outright honours in his Nissan Skyline R33 GTR. He also recorded the fastest time for a tintop and as well as taking first place in the sports sedan class.

A mechanic by trade, an indication of Inwood’s fine form can be judged by the fact that the last time a tintop racer won the event outright was way back in 1999.

It was a big day for the Bathurst contingent who headed north for the weekend with Scott Tutton just being edged out by Inwood for the outright victory.

However, Tutton’s sizzling performance did earn him a win in his Type SV class.

Not to be outdone, David Tutton rounded off a big weekend for the locals with victory in the Improved Production Over 3000cc class.

Inwood yesterday described what a nail biting day it was at Grafton.

“There were six cars all within 100th of a second of each other for the last three runs,” he said.

“In the end the biggest battle came down to myself and Scott who was driving an EVO.

“He did a great job on his final run of the day and I was five cars later. I only just managed to bump him off the top spot.”

Police on the state’s Central Coast are appealing for public help as they hunt a motorist who failed to stop after knocking down a woman at Terrigal.

The 34-year-old woman was struck by a dark-coloured vehicle - possibly a Nissan Skyline - at the intersection of Kurrawyba Avenue and Grosvenor Road, Terrigal, just before 12.30am on Sunday (13 February).

The driver of the vehicle left the scene without rendering assistance to the injured pedestrian.

The woman was taken to Gosford Hospital for treatment of a broken leg, broken shoulder, broken hand and facial injuries.

She remains in a stable condition.

Investigations into the incident are continuing and police are now seeking public assistance to try and identify the motorist and vehicle involved.

In particular they’re keen to hear from anyone who has seen or repaired a dark-coloured vehicle with damage consistent with it being involved in a collision.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Gosford Police Station via Crime Stoppers on

R33 GTR Upgrades: N1 Oil Pump, N1 Water Pump, Greddy Oil Cooler and Pitwork Timing Belts

The GTR is having these parts installed while I'm out of the country:

 

 Nissan N1 Oil Pump

Nissan N1 Water Pump

Pitwork BCNR33 Service Kit (Belts)

Greddy Oil Cooler

Once these items are installed, the car will undergo internal engine upgrades sometime in the first half of 2011. After that, the R33 will go in for painting.

In the meantime, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and Merry Christmas from where I am!

Skyline Club of Malaysia's Family Day BBQ

Thanks to the efforts of Azmir Zainuddin, PIMPIN and Feedzya, Malaysian Skyline owners (myself included) had an awesome day today in Janda Baik. The trio had organised a BBQ for the club and it was a great way to end the year in the company of like minded people & friends. 

At last count, there were:

1 x R33 GTR

2 x R32 GTR

3 x R34 GTR

3 x R33 GTS

4 x R32 GTS

6 x R34 GTT

The Petronas station after the Karak Highway Toll (where I met up with the convoy, some 18 Skylines in a pack!)

The convoy making our way to Janda Baik (I was third from the front by this time)

The road got a little bit twisty as we got nearer to the BBQ venue

Then it got a little bit more smaller as we got closer to our destination

It was a very scenic drive as the lush greenery around us made it not so much a journey but more of an adventure

Finally arrived at the venue and being welcomed by our generous host hehe!

The boys slowly getting their cars parked as we prepared to head on down to the BBQ area and the river - it was awesome to see so many Skylines together

Holy Skylines Batman!

Everyone parked and we slowly made our way into the house

We were greeted with this sight - a great BBQ chill out area and a lovely river in which the kids (there were some 'big' ones mind you) to swim in

The lovely venue which is a private home of one of the club members - it was very kind of him to open it up and made arrangements for the BBQ

The food that Azmir and the boys had brought with them were being cooked - smelled heavenly!

There was more awesome food being cooked but this was my only shot of the feast as I was too busy eating to take more pictures!

It was Azmir's birthday today and so his wife along with PIMPIN surprised him with a birthday cake! :) Happy birthday again dude!

All good things must come to an end and we slowly started to line up as a convoy for the drive back to KL

... not before an impromptu night run along the twisty b-roads of Janda Baik! Felt really good to be doing it with other Skylines!

Thanks again boys! Was a great day that ended well and looking forward to the next event!

R33 GT-R Upgrades: Recent mods in pictures

A lot of changes have taken place in recent weeks and the car is better for it.

So without futher ado, lets list down what has been done so far with pictures (was unable to take a picture of the Goodridge Braided Brake Hose):

Installed: The Tomei Fuel Regulator Type L and the Cusco Oil Catch Tank

A closer look at the Tomei Fuel Regulator - both the regulator, along with the Tomei Fuel Pump, have made a major positive contribution to how the car accelerates

The Cusco Oil Catch Tank - only time will tell if it really helps the engine

The Nismo Aluminium Shift Knob - feels so much better now when shifting

The Whiteline swaybars and bushings installed - the car feels really planted and the suspension well dampened - almost feels like a brand new car!

New Apexi Power Intake Pod Filters - engine runs smoother

BCNR33 4 Pot Front Brembos (with new brake pads and rotors skimmed) - amazing stopping power

BCNR33 Rear 2 Pot Brembos (with new brake pads and rotors skimmed)

- Okuyama Carbing Air Diversion Plate Aluminium
- Apexi Power Intake Replacement Pod Filters
- Nismo Aluminium Shift Knob (10mm 5 speed)
- Volk Racing GT Center Caps for the RE30s (4 pieces - low)

I'll put these on as soon as possible.
