So not much new has happend as of yet. been just very buisy at work. and waiting for my tax money to come in. Fixed my missfire problem at 4000 ish rps under boost. or heavy load. baught a set of cheap s2 coilpacks and a new AFM put both on and did no test inbetween but one of them seems to have fixed the problem. doubt ti was AFM though as both the filaments inside seemed all good. After doing so was only one at work and was wet so couldn't resist a proper quick test here is a video. Watch in HQ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9h1LfllJjE&list=UUFx6Ikd8v828_Gi0kVh94Dw Now dont judge as i havnt driven this skyline nor any other high powerd car before that much expecially in the wet. but thaught id give it a crack. just a doughnut nothing special. haha. In the near future once tax man gives me my money. Going to be looking at getting a return flow FMIC and also redo all the IN BAY intake and intercooler piping to neaten it up a bit. then also get a power FC for when i want to sort out a tune in the futre. also getting a front and dump pipe with a cat. Been told best option is a bellmouth front pipe as the splits dont seem to be as good according to some people. but who nows. so ill be getting a bellmouth setup. then after that who knows what will happen. been looking at lots of turbo options from HKS to garret and (just gone blank) those high flow turbo mobs.

awesome build mate keep it up

Hey guys quick question been trying to search if theres any Intercooler piping kits that replace all (engine bay side) pressure pipes as the stock black look shocking. also in the kit if there is one is there a pipe to replace the stock crossover pipe which has the BOV attached to it aswell. or should i stop looking now and get them custom made? Thanks in advance.

can i ask teh reason why they voided the insuarance? was it for liek say. non listed modifications. or proof of hooning ect???

nice write up. need to post those pics again mate. i find it easier to upload them all to photo bucket.

So today i finally got round to doing my 42 mm radiator with the new blue silicone hoses and my Turbo smart boost tee. So this is the engine bay before hand. First off i undone both the Hoses and undone the Top radiator mounting brackets which i later on decided to spray paint silver just to neaten up a bit as they were dirty and looking tacky. i found undoing the Top Brackets and undoing the 2 Hoses of th engine then undoing the 4 nuts holding the fan assembly on and pulling all out together was the easiest option for removal of the radiator. set up the new one on the ground in front. flushed out my engine. not fully though as i know theres a bung on passenger side to undo. but i didn't do this I replaced my current fluid with new Nulon concentrated coolant. i mixed it around 35% coolant to 65% water. Heres a photo of the clamps sprayed quickly with silver. And heres just a final shot of the engine bay. i must say it makes it look 10x better than before but still has alot of work to be done.Must say thanks to my girlfriend for re polishing the new radiator. as it was a second hand one i got form a mate who upgraded to a 52 50? mm one. not sure why btu oh well Got a couple of goodies planned for the next few months so keep watching. P.S The Boost Tee i set to just 7PSI for now until i get my turbo back exhaust and new coilpacks sorted out. dont wanna run any more PSI with a missfire. even though i dont drive it that often atm. Also been contemplating with my suspension setup. as drag days are so much cheaper and common than track days i was thinking of doing a drag suspension setup. ive heard stock coils in the rear are ideal. and also these pineapple sub frame bushes? help with squating and displacing the power correctly? any coilovers people suggest that are made for this situation. yet good for general driving use also?

posting a new build thread for it then Luke?

were do you get these front fenders from. are these front fenders the same that viva garage sell i know they sell them. ??

just read right through awesome build so far. love all the DIY and awesome location for the FMIC.

straight cut gear wine!! any plans to get the new box strengthened in the future at all?

get in contact with the buyer again. ti also seems liek he has been doing some research himself. must be hard to sell. "UPDATE. I have been in contact with the first Australian owner of the car, and have received important paperwork including, *Invoice when the car was purchased in 1998. *An Australian compliance and engineering certificate, with cars km's at 4,590. *Vicroads road worthy certificate, dated 5-3-98 also stating cars km's at 4,590. *First vicroads rego paper from 1998."

You dont need to swap guards for headlights im pretty sure. S2 headlights bolt straight in and flush with S1 guards. you'll everything else he has mentioned though. Ive done the S2 conversion on my NA any questions just ask. easy as piss. also youll need to cut and rewire the wires for the fog lights/indicators as there different plugs. well on my 93 they were different to the S2 wiring loom plug. so i cut and"crimped" :S works perfect though. at first i only did bumper and reinforcement bar. from a distance it looks completely fine. but the headlights do stick over the bar a little.

that does look like a very good setup. love it when he drags the BA BA pulls away at very start then SHHHHH "bov sound" haha very nice

pic color?

Can op please update thread. as no pictures work anymore.

looks to me like a HDR photo tbh. but oh well if it doesnt exist i guess ti doesnt. . cant find a nice rear bar for my R33.... theres just none that are like wow thats a nice rear end. anyone seen any real nice rear bars? ive seen some but damn there nasty.

haha i know but its the shape and style of the rear bar that i want.

Can someone please tell me what brand this rear bar is/ what its called.

i can slightly see where its been. dont have OCD do yah? haha

So this black tube cylinder. IS my carbon canister? ok ill try relocate it. is yours this big?

nice work. do all the fab work yourself? eg the external gate mount?

ummm quick question The big black canister with 3 lines going to it on the passanger side. is this my carbon canister? if so why so big? can i remove this? do cops know to look for this? In tutorials of removing carbon canister pictures i see are a little similar thing but much smaller up near the radiator. is this just the S2 version of a Carbon canister?

i hope you didnt just let the air con gas out. R134a is Lethal to the atmosphere R12 is also lethal yet no longer in modern cars and usually only seen older vehicles that are yet to be converted to r134a there would be a plate in teh engine bay stating which type fo gas you have. and if serviced by a air conditioning place and replaced with minus 30 thered also be a minus 30 service sticker in there properly. unless was done in a back yard job. There is a cheaper gas going round which can be let out into the atmosphere though. known to most as (Minus 30) Just for fi anyone views this thread for the same reasons please take your car to a registered Air conditioning place to get it properly removed.

f**k thats awesome

you gonna get any footage of the hill climb? steering wheel looks good.
