Hey sorry to drag up an old thread here. But do you have any part of the shell still for sale or has it been cut up at all?
Currently all im looking for is a front cut of just the shell with nothing on it. Doesn't even need the bumper reo if thats been sold. The section of the shell i need is just from behind the front struts, and forwards.

i still think that if you hit it with a hammer, put it back on the engine, it'd fail then.. and then i'd know exactly what caused it to fail
good research geoff, quite an interesting read too.
-
nice, thanks guys, and yep, from the hills area

Hahaha im liking that idea with the shopping list malcolm.
im thinking of changing my plates soon again. i get bored of them too easy. currently got ETH 011, in red, but its a tad boring. Got ideas for another one, but i'm keeping that to my self till i have ordered it

need my head serviced, so like a shave, hair cut, brush teeth...
nah seriously though, need the head on my engine serviced, needs to be machined mainly, as it has a very slight warp in it, but anything else other than that, like the valves done, and seals. but i could settle for just getting it machined.
problem is i don't know anyone who does it as i know most mechanics don't do it them selves and just send it off to be done.
any ideas on who could do this? i don't have a clue.
ill have the head off the block and everything, so that wouldn't need doing

well its not really a kit, just a belt. but most people change the water pump and the idler and tensioner bearings at the same time as they are meant to wear out soon after the timing belt is due. hence why it can usually cost a bit to change.
its easy to do though, only real tool ya need that isn't normal is the harmonic balancer puller, and they are like $20.
as for places to get it done, Hills Motor Sport, located in Castle hill, have been good for me so far. had a fare bit of work done through them in the past, rear end rebuild totally.

the guy who runs the place's name is Mark.
as for parts, Just Jap are a good place to pick up the parts, good price. bit of a distance if you don't live south of sydney, but they will deliver pretty cheap.

another good parts place is LinCorp. has all genuine nissan parts.
#02 8844 4400
another place, also good for parts but can also do the work i do belive, is Stuart Wilkins Motor Sport. they are out windsor way.

if you're confident about doing this your self, do it. it'll save you alot in labour cost.
i would offer to do it for you, but im unsure when i'd have time to though.

spotted a white r33, gold rims, in my garage, missing half the engine bay. still. seen it there everyday for 3 weeks now. poor car
oh yes, and i have spotted a few times now, a silver r33 s2 on talavera rd, down the lane cove road end, parked outside near holden and dotmar. its there most days. looks very clean and tidy, still stock, but looks well looked after

PM Sent regarding turbo =)
-
Motorsport Connections was just the right place. Helpful and friendly
-
thanks heaps guys! heading out to sevens hills now =)

I need some braided oil and water lines made up, but im having no luck at all finding places that can do this for me.
Ideas anyone? im located in the hills area.
-
blowing white smoke after jumping off boost. guessing oil seals in the turbo are leaking exhaust side. need to rebuild it but dont know and cant find any rebuild kits.
any ideas anyone? would be a great help
-
oh it did haha.. replaced all the gaskets from the head gasket up, so that cost a bit.
lol, oh well, any excuse to go turbo is good
-
Recently i blew the head gasket. from Cyl 6 into the water jacket, causing it to push all the coolent out all over the engine bay and many other anoying problems like making the car shake so much on idle is feels like your getting a masarge.
Anyway, i changed it on the weekend and thought i'd post a few photos i took of it for other peoples interest
nice and clean and back together again
-
Yeah i play at dural on monday nights at DSLC. half way through the season though
-
it looks reall good. love the colour!
and yeah go for rear pods. i think pods are a better look than a lower rear bar unless its same hight in the main and lower on the sides like it has 'pods' built in
-
done that also.. T intersection, first night i had the car, my first RWD car.. too much in 2nd, end up looking at where i had just been. lucky didnt hit anything
and nah, havent seen the white 33
-

ranicX by VIP you mean free/cheaper entry or just easier access inside? took us only like 5 mins to get in from the normal lineup around 12:30
vip means guestlist which has preference over normal line and cheaper entry. ive also got discount cards as well.. but for each friday at subbies, just let me know by thursday and ill get you and your mates on the list

-
Whats everyone up to this friday? im heading into sublime and was wondering if anyone else wanted to be put on the guest list this friday, or any friday for that mater?
-
only ever been pulled over for something stupid once. the usual, a bit too happy off at the lights. he was a nice guy who also owned a skyline.
every other time has been an rbt station or mobile... although i think i got picked on one week. 4 rbt's in one week on the same 300m section of road in round corner dural.
havent been fined for anything though. had the car for about 2 years now
-
old news!
pfft, i didnt know
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline look a bit past half way on the right hand side.. look whos car is famous now

Yeah I did find info saying that it combines what the SAFC and the VAFC do in one unit.
It's all very interesting to me, as I was told that you couldn't run a hi-flow without changing to proper tuning and bigger injectors and AFM, but I've since found plenty to say that is just bs. Now it makes me worried about going back to a mechanic who is actually extremely good at what he does..... I hate having to change mechanics
im not sure about that, like if i was to run the hi-flow at as hi as it could go, im sure id have to do some more changing, like as it is, the fuel cut sometimes kicks in (hopefully getting that looked at and fixed on thursday).
like it goes well, but i bet with a better AFM and bigger injectors, it would be a lot better
Looks awesome, can we get a copy of the AFR posted?wish i had one mate, didnt get a print out though sorry.. i will ask to see if he still has it on the computer when i go back on thursday. hes taking the car for a street tune as its only been dyno tuned.
Mate how much was it to tune the Neo? ive been eyeing one off for while now, nothing too extreme so suits me well.Also, where did you locate the display panel?
well i partly installed the neo (ran the cable and put it in the dash) the rest was done by hills. it cost $405 all up which was good. good tune, just some small bumps to iron out now that ive found when driving on the street.
i mounted the display in the dash just bellow the cd player
i want to get some sort of cover to put over it so i can hide it if i need to.
Is it just me or is there a huge gap between the AT:26 and IT:61 thats 35degrees difference.Time to take it to the drag strip and see whats it can run
haha yeh there is, duno whats up with that.
yes would be good to take it down there to the drags. a friend on sau got 12.9 i think it was running semi slicks and 210rwkw, so id expect mine to be in the high 12's at best with the tyres it has now (265/40/17). although semi's would be very nice to run.
Do you have stock injectors and an adjustable FPR or bigger injectors? What fuel pump?as far as i know (i say that becasue i had no idea i had a hi-flow, who else know whats been changed that i cant see).. anyway, as far as i know it has stock injectors which im pretty sure of, standard FPR, and im pretty sure its the standard fuel pump.
if it is all standard, im probably pushing its limits and anything more would need a FPR or something. 3" dump would be nice though. only 3" from the back of the cat.
S1 Or S2 Head Lights?
in Cosmetic, Styling & Respray
Posted
Im a bit unsure on this one. I've had a front end fender bender and as a result need to replace my bonnet, headlights and a few other things.. But the main thing im unsure on, is that my car has s1 lights (car is a r33 1995 s1.5 gts-t btw) as standard, but i want to, put in s2 headlights. Mainly because they look a bit nicer and seem to be cheaper anyway for some reason? If i was to get a s2 bonnet, would that be all i need to change to fit s2 head lights, or is there something else?
thanks in advance!
