There is a choice of grills at Halfords at the moment varying in style and hole size. The one I went for (I can email a pic) has quite large holes and ...
Gents I can vouch for the Yoko A048Rs. I use them on my GOCSC G33 and they are excellent. Even better than the ubiquitous A032Rs that have now been all but...
Guys, driving to a mates house today my sump hit the ground a few times (ouch!) - so my fears are confirmed, my shocks are woefully inadequate at the moment....
Mine bottoms out occasionally but last time I looked it seemed to be the gearbox bolts touching, not the sump. Not that that makes much difference. Nick F...
Pete Keep a check on the sump plug as it has been known to undo this way with a sudden loss of oil we welded a skid plate on the sump Nigel H ... From:...
One reason we went the dry sump route eventually - but a good simple fix is a skid 'strip' of thin angle running back from the chassis in front, between the...

Pete My car is on its second sump to my knowledge. The first was destroyed by Performance Car Magazine whilst on road test, and that was a brand new car! The...

Saw a G33 (blue) in a gaggle of Porkers maybe coming/going to Goodwood ?? Around the Midhurst/Petersfield/Petworth (somewhere) area ?? Probably Nick or Pete I...
Mine occasionally bottoms out too, a little more so soince i had the car corner weighted and the suspension set up properly. Ihave a steel plate bolted to the...
The origional springs on the whole seem to be around 325- 350 lb 10" long and 2.25" diameter. I personally found these (mine where 325) a bit stiff, and made...
Me me me!!!! Saw your DDD and knew who it was straight away! I've seen G33's on the road once or twice in 15 years, and then today i saw one and i was in one!...
Hey everyone, I have just called AVO so i'll have the new shocks on Wednesday (missed today's post) - they have plenty of each in stock. Not sure what to do...
I am up at Tring, about an hour from you so close enough if you can't get hold of Mark who I think is down the M4 from you. Mine feels a lot better now after...
I have my fans wired separately through 15a fuses and 30 amp relays each, and these seem to be ok even with fan startup loads. I have soldered all of the...
Im around Wednesday and Friday evening, and next weekend if you want a trip over the Wantage downs. Mark ... From: Pete Osborne To: GinettaG33@yahoogroups.com ...
I tried soldering just one 30 amp relay, and all the insulation on the wiring just melted, so you definately do need two relays. In the short term you could...
Exhaust back pressure or no back pressure. I have just dismantled the off side mid section of my stainless steel exhaust to locate and eliminate the source of...
Dragster Engines only have open headers or exhaust manifolds as known to us in the UK. For 40 years they have been full open bores, BUT recent technology with...
Thanks Perry... but where does that leave humble ol' me? I'm not quite at 6000hp but still don't know if back pressure created by a plate in the exhaust is a...
At its most basic, back pressure is bad for ultimate power. Reducing the back pressure can change the engines torque curve however , as there is a point where...
Thanks Mark. I never saw the original exhaust and was wondering if that was a straight through design with a straight through torpedo silencer? I can't imagine...
Nick Get a copy of the book 'Four-Stroke Performance Tuning by A. Graham Bell'. Apart from being an excellent book, it is very good on the subject of...
Guys, help! Whilst out yesterday i felt a very mild hum through the steering wheel and so this evening i though i'd check it out - there's no play in either...
Hi Nick, do you know what spring rates you have on your car front and rear? ... From: nickjamesdesign@... To: GinettaG33@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June...
Darn, won't have time before LM i think, i leave in a week! Might have to take you up on it when i get back though - thanks. ... From: Mark Thompson To:...
Sorry Pete. A previous owner stripped the suspension and powder coated the arms etc and it looks as if the standard Avo's have been put back. As for the spring...
Just noticed also that on the parts list pdf on g33.co.uk, the front springs are listed as 10x325, the rears are listed as 10x200, so are you (in general)...
Thanks Graham. On its way from Amazon! (along with Modern Engine Tuning whose synopsis re all the sensors etc on modern engines also seems useful). Nick F....
Seems to me you need to be careful here. The fronts have the higher spring rate presumably to offset the extra weight of the engine. Making fore and aft the...
