  1. Still in perfect working order. $150 for all six delivery included
  2. Came on the car when I bought it, done around 30,000km with me. Still work fine, no leaks or knocks. Has a 375lb/in (6.7kg/mm) spring on the front which nicely tightens up the front while keeping good comfort. There are also two spare sets of springs for sale I did some experimenting with x2 500lb/in (8.93kg/mm); x2 575lb/in (10.27kg/mm) After $1100 for the lot or $900 for the coilovers (original Tein front springs included) and $100 a pair for the heavier springs. Pick up Geelong or can ship at buyers expense.
  3. Still available. BCNR33 is R33 GTR so the harness won't fit, the RB25 S1 has a different power plug and igniter plug. The coils will still fit RB25 S1 though. PM me to work out postage
  4. Just upgraded to R35 coils so clearing out my old coil setup. Do-Luck Enhanced ignition harness suit BCNR33 $80. Used, still works a treat, fixed a high rpm and high load stumble I was having. Six Splitfire coils $100. Used, unknown km's as they came on the car but still worked fine. Two adjustable cam gears $30. Used, still fine though have some cosmetic damage from careless adjustment. ACL race bearing STD size Main and Big end bearing set for RB30 $100. These have been tucked away in a box for years and rediscovered recently, brand new in box. Located Geelong Vic Can post if required
  5. If there was vapor coming out due to crankcase breathing you might want to put an inspection camera down the plug holes and check for a potential glazed bore. If no.3 was getting washed down with fuel there might be some excessive cylinder wear.
  6. What makes you think there is a problem? It looks normal to me, the first test shows no abnormal unevenness side to side.
  7. CORROSION PROTECTION The extreme pressure chemistry used in many gear oils can be corrosive to brass and bronze used in synchronizers and bushings. Most gear oils are corrosive at temperatures of 200°F. Red Line Gear Oils are non-corrosive up to 300°F and the MTL® in excess of 375°F. A corrosive gear oil can shorten synchronizer life by half and can also contribute to rust problems. https://static.summitracing.com/global/images/instructions/red-synthetic gear oils.pdf Also Redline only specifically say the Heavy Shockproof isn't recommended for most syncro boxes due to it being too slippery. Go for the Lightweight, be sensible by not slapping gears and the gearbox will be fine. If you ever put a decent replacement in then go to a standard gear oil.
  8. Probably pivot ball snapped, happened to me coincidently in an R32 also. What are you like at rev matching? If you do alright you can just drive it, i've done it a few times in different cars though its a bitch in the city. Just get it into first, turn the key to start it in gear and away you go. To stop just put it in neutral, stop then turn it off, put it back in first gear ready to go again.
  9. After turbine temps will be lower than pre turbine, the only experience I've had with it was moving a temp sensor from dump pipe to pre turbine on a diesel. At low load there was a difference of about 30-40 degrees, at high load it was about 80-90 degrees difference. With that the pre turbine temps on yours were possibly in the 900's. Unwrap the exhaust and make up a heat shield if you want to control radiant heat. Too much heat loading on a thin wall piping will mess with the metal chemistry and warp the whole manifold. Cast manifolds can get away with it more because of high thickness which increase heat storage capacity and rigidity. 1. If you're unsure of the tune then take it to a tuner before you possibly destroy your engine, judging by how the carbon has been scorched out of the manifold i'd say the tune needs a check. 2. Don't be carless and bash the limiter because it just looks stupid and will help destroy your engine quicker.
  10. Is the egt gauge on the dump pipe or before the turbine? If that is the state of the inside after you pulled it off I would say it has overheated big time. A normal look would be a patina of carbon, not a scorched earth look.
  11. Agreed. On my full weight R33gtr with stock brembos, super dot4 and intima pads I would get major fade half way through flat out 10min session at sandown. After making up some simple air guides to deflect air into the front rotors I would only get minor fade after a full session of thrashing.
