I'll take some pics tonight.

Hey guys, I have a nismo solid shifter and the other day I tried installing it in my r33 gtst, it went on ok but when I went to put the circlip back in it was a bit tighter than the stock shifter. Once it was in I could only shift between 3rd and 4th, when I tried to select any of the gears it would force the circlip out. Has anyone had any similar issues? I'm tempted to pull the bottom cup out and machining half a mm off it.

I didn't realise 400rwkw was a lot, guess they're only 2.5ltrs, I've just come from the world of xr6t's where a reliable 400rwkw is less than 5k away lol. I still have much to learn about skylines. I might look into the link g4, ethanol is another thing I've put into the future and being able to run a flex sensor would be good. Thanks for all the info guys.

Z32 AFM comes up quite often, what's the story with them?

gtr jet what would you suggest? I'm only going with pfc because they're proven and the price suits me, I'm not willing to go all out on a haltech or anything like that, way too expensive for the power I'm chasing. That's some good information GTSBoy, I'll keep it in mind, I'm really not sure what direction to take my car yet...

I'm looking to put a pfc in my r33 as I've hit a wall with the stock ecu. I believe the d-jetro version of the pfc is better and more tunable having an added map sensor and air temp. Is it really worth it? Will I be glad I did it in the long run when I'm going for 400rwkw??

Like the title says, chasing a pfc and controller for r33 rb25det. I'm located in Vic

Haha, I was sleeping in on my day off so there's no way I was going out into the cold lol. My car takes a good 20 minutes idling or 15 minutes driving to even start reading on the temp gauge! Going to pull my thermostat out tomorrow to see if it's leaking...

How long does an Rb25det take usually to get to operating temperature? I noticed that mine takes ages to even start registering on my temp gauge. I haven't checked the thermostat yet, I'll get to it shortly. Also, while on the subject, what is the ideal temperature for an rb25det? Thanks.

Yeah I'll be looking into a better radiator, I've already purchased a new fan

Ok cool, I'll get on that asap. Cheers

I don't think it's hitting, mine has 2 cracks between every blade, I'm just getting in early. My mates actually flew apart while he was drifting, made a complete mess of everything. His new one already has 2 large cracks but I don't know if it's genuine or not. Stay away from gtech, check.

Thanks guys. It's there a way to stop the clutch fans from breaking every 6 months or so? My mate put a new one in his car and it's already got 2 large cracks in it after a little over a month. Maybe another brand? I admit that both mine and his cars get thrashed, but that's pretty much what we own them for...

I found out the hard way the other day how bad the r33 headlights are. Found a pair of Philips +50 globes and chucked them in, best thing I ever did! If the lens starts going yellow, clean it with a lens kit (or however you prefer) and get those headlight 'skins', they're like a protective clear vinyl, I hear that they can stop the yellowing.

Just as the title says, I'm about to do a thermo fan conversion on my R33 as my fan it about to break. I want to avoid using those adjustable temp switches. What temperature range should I aim for with the temperature switch? It's an rb25det running at 12psi. Also, where would the best place be for the position of the switch? Cheers.

Haha, I've always wanted to have forward facing sprayers that spray brake fluid all over the picks that cut me off when driving through the cbd... Well I'll leave my kit on there for now, I've got it disconnected as it runs through the water pretty quickly and there's no on/off switch yet besides the boost switch. Might be useful over at Calder Park for the Friday night street drags Haha

Too true! That actually sounds much easier lol. How hard is it to get to the shifter on the R33? Do I remove the centre console?

Thanks for the help guys! Yeah I meant filler, sorry. Unfortunately there's no room for adding a pipe on the end, but I dare say that I'd end up causing some damage forcing it like that. I do have a little blow torch, might give that a try. I leant a long time ago when I was about 16 to never drain the oil on anything until you know you can fill it Haha. I'll look into the 13mm square drives too, always good to have a backup. If all else fails I'll go the mechanic route or fill it through the shifter hole. Thanks for all the info guys!

Oh right, the evo has it too doesn't it? The kit looks like it's been on the car since day 1 so it's pretty old, doesn't really cover the intercooler much. I might go buy some cheap mist nozzles from bunnings and see how they go.

Ok, so I've been going through my R33 gtst these last few days and I've fixed up all the washer motors. One of which was for an intercooler spray kit that was already installed on the car. would water on the intercooler really do much? I'm skeptical myself, currently in 2 minds whether to rip it all off or not... Cheers

Does anyone have any tips about removing the side plug in the gearbox? It has a 1/2 inch square hole in it which I assumed was for a 1/2 inch breaker bar but I couldn't get it undone for the life of me! Does anyone know a better way to undo it? or should I just take it to a mechanic so he can do it on a hoist? (I only have ramps) Cheers

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any opinions on the different brand short-throw shifters as I'm looking to get one for my 5-speed R33. I'm not after anything pro. Cheers, Brett

I was walking around supercheap the other day and saw that they sold universal washer motors, bit the bullet and bought one to test with, worked on all cases, so somehow all 3 motors have died at the same time. I'm trying to see if I can find replacements now.

Thanks mate, my next day off is Thursday so I'll investigate the issue further then. It also has sprayers connected above the intercooler but from what I can tell it's all on a separate circuit connected to a boost switch.

Well I had the negative of the multimeter grounded and touched the positive into the connections in the plugs. All 4 came up above 12v. I'll use a test light to do the same test later to confirm my own results.
