Pal

sorry, just found out that he got ur number from paper and will hopefully coming around on Monday to have a look. his name is Brenden.

Have sent pic and note to friend. Will give him number if interested. lovely car man

how much exess on that steve?

i ripped mine out when i fitted my intercooler on my 33. I guess they direct the air up int0 the radiator, but i recon they are a waist of time as they are to small to do anything, ended up bolting the scoop onto the bottom of my front bar to make a bit of a lip.

complete manual conversion kit sourced (from another company in adelaide)and will be paid for on monday, week and a half wait for it to come over, car goes in to workshop auto, comes out manual :lol: then goes over pits then to the drags for that 13 only downside is it will cost about 800 bux more than thought still worth it

Well change of plans again (feel like a yoyo) able to get a conversion kit fron the toy shop over in sydney for 2600 deliverd to xspeed. the problem is i can decide which way to go 1. manual conversion, new clutch for 3800 or 2. power fc, shift kit, blitz spec s boost controller for 4000 need help will be ordering next monday!!

just got all my gear to do a conversion from the toy shop in Beresfield. cost me 1750 for the box and 650 for all the other stuff to do it and 220 to send it over here to W.A. go to www.japimports.com.au and send them a e-mail. they may be able to help u out with the new clutch as well

are the springs you are taking out standard or slightly lowered Damo?

lots

If you want u'r car to last, yes we change our oil every 5000 k's or 3 months. no compromise. I drag about every 3 to six months, and if lucky get about 8 runs in. I wouldnt think it would be worth changing oil every time i went down the strip.

At least we are not driving commodores

well change of plans , looks like its to hard to get a manual, and even if i can get one, its gunna be to expensive anyway (2nd hand gearboxes are now about $2000 to $2500 alone). So, gunna keep the auto but do do a few mods around this and im sure (as Nizmo says) gunna try beat a few of the manuals with the sludgomatic. p.s. can i ask what u have done to your car Nizmo

interested in doing a manual conversion on my 33, you would'nt have a tail shaft, brake/clutch peddles with master slave cylinders, gearbox with stick and inner and outer boots, centre console around stick, flywheel and clutch laying around would you. also how much to send it to perth 6169 cheers Eric

got any photos, will post tp perth and how much?

settle guys, went to the pits today and its all good news exept one thing. He said they will only look at the modification done eg make sure the gearbox, peddles, clutch etc is put in properly. i asked him about the intercooler and he said that i did not need a permit for the intercooler, they only have problems when all the front end is cut out, if it is neat, no worries there. boost gauge on the a piller- ok as long as it does'nt obstruct veiw. exhaust-got a 3" x-force stainless exhaust with drift type tip. made me give it a rev and said there was no problems and would pass that. wheels, bugga have A&Z Blitz 17" by 8" rims -no good only allowed 7" (thanks to tyre power for telling me that), will have to stick the stockies back on when go back :-(. the prices i got are from the three bigger companys in perth and they are all the same exept one has asked me to source the parts. looks like a big time period to do it (2-3 months) as companies need to find parts for the conversion. ive had a look at keeping the auto and maybe upgrading the turbo and putting in a shift kit but this will about the same (decent turbo upgrade $2500, shift kit $600, oil cooler $150, = more fuel and still have a auto that has the possibilitys of frying . may drop my 1/4 times to mid 13 and not able to go any further without the big bucks OR drop in a manual, still get mid 13 as have a lower ratio diff, drivetrain is stronger and still can go further on mods with the car for much cheaper.

with hbf to, got both my cars with them, both imports. pay $766/year,200 exess on $17000 with wheels and exhaust insured. soon to have fmic

rang the dpi and have to fill in a vehical modification application for production vehicles form. after this the conversion is done ($3600 with new clutch) then it has to go over the pits to get signed off. am going to a licenceing workshop tomorrow to see what happens there hopefully(need to check if a few things on the car are legal as well) find out about getting a permit for the fmic or even if i need one. then i have to wait to see if i got the funds to do it as doing up the back yard (left over funds to go to the car, hopefully). problem with not telling them is insurance. And the car is in very good condition for its age and i think i will struggle to get a manual for a decent price in the same condition.

howdy guys, thinkin about doin a manual conversion on my 33 and wonderin if anyone knows what i have to do on the licencing side of things, eg do i have to take it over the pits or do a verble

Howdy guys, I am thinking of doing a manual conversion on my R33 and was wondering if anyone knows what to do with the licencing side of things. Im in W.A. Any help would be appreciated.

i took mine off end of last year to fit my intercooler, the plastic clip under the headlight pop into a hole on your frontbar (one each side), you can do two things, remove your headlights or as I did, put a little force on them with a screwdriver between the reinforcement bar and front bar next to the headlight and the bar popped off. there are two screws either side of the guards to the front bar, a little hard to get the front ones and the pop clips across the front and under the front bar, took me about 20 minutes to get it off

hey ya guys, im with HBF too and my insurace is due next month, i didnt get my car at autoworks but I am interested in the drive up there to get a valuation done as well if he will do it.

I got these numbers from Repco over here in Perth. 4pk0855 $17.99 4pk0925 $27.99 3pk0855 $23.99 cant remember which on is which but im sure u can sort it out :-) Have fun

hey Damo, what plugs did u put in last week and how much were they

good to meet a few of the guys last night(i was in the gun metal grey auto r33), i really enjoyed myself. Ended up with the final run of the night being my best of 14.359, 2.359 60' at 160.21 km/h, not to bad for a auto. very happy with that (intercooler did its job) since couldnt crack 14.7 without it.

if u look under ur bonnet at the fuse box it has jump lead tags hanging out of it i think they are protected by fuse. u dont jump start straight from the battery or things may go boom
