Cool thanks mate.
If anyone has a product code, feel free to sling it my way.
Hey mate!
Havent been to the garage yet but ill give you a post when i've been there and checked the product code, should be tagged on the box. Meanwhile heres a proof they exist, dont mind my artistic mod of the photo

Ye i guess, it is putting pressure on the crank but i takes one hell of a pressure plate to be the single reason there's crankwalk, im guessing the engine has taken a beating and all combined with bad bearings the pressure plate has helped to cause this but not a pressure plate alone
-
Just glad for your input!
No i guess it will look just to weird with the red lip :S!
None taken mate! It was an idea that got out of control i guess
I wanted to use real bolts but the glass fibre rear quarters beeing so thin made me choose to just glue them to the body. Then a mate of mine invited his friend that when he showed up proved beeing one of the best airbrush'ers in Sweden. I asked him if he could consider making bolt/pop's and then we shared ideas for a while which ended up in the final rusted pop's around the rear quarters and hood scoop Another thing i took in consideration was the fact that i didnt want a GTSt looking like a GTR-wannabe, with the quarters molded into the body
Me and some other friends sat down earlier today and disguessed what color to go with, and one of them thought that since the Jade-paint has got a small gold glow to it, same goes for the Kandy-paint, then why dont i gow with Gold lip/Black spokes OR the other way around?
-
The wheels look like this right now
:Im leaning more and more towards leaving them as they are right now but maybe i should implant the Kandy Apple Red somehow.. Kandy Red lip and grey spokes maybe... That would definitely stand out anyway, and probably just look like crap if i dont have the bonnet and trunk open :S But its tempting!
-
If anyone has any other color combo PLZ add, cause its really hard to choose! Not feeling anything over anything else right now
Photoshopped a version with Black lip/Jade spokes, added the other versions from the last post on page 1.

Had a friend of mine do this, checked temp and flow, was bad on both 5th & 6th

The reason your gearbox is making noises sound definetly like the synchros but i dont see how double-clutching it would make it any worse, have the same crunch in forth, works better if you double clutch it or just dont change it as fast, same goes for a mate of mine on one of his last cars, had the synchros changed=no prob'. The whole 'double-clutch' thing comes from old non-synched gearboxes BTW...
But it really cant be the reason it doesnt rev up as it should, does it feel like the car is struggling to get speed or is it just a lack of power?
Does it rev freely when in neutral/clutch pressed?
Check things like faulty Lambda sensor, AFM, CAS (Cam Angle Sensor, in front of engine) or if the turbo is blown, should give alot of smoke though.
Other things like bad compression for some reason, might be blown headgasket, still should give smoke but get a comp test done if needed
Had a customers Celica ST205 running like crap, didnt smoke but the headgasket was blown and was actually leaking small amounts of cooling fluid from the back of the block!Have you done the ECU-diagnostics test? Shorting the 2 wires on the top left of the grey diagnostics connector, engine light should lid up, giving you 5 long/5 short signals="All OK" otherwise it just to check in the manual what it says
-
Thx Ill take a look at Yahoo and glad you like the rust, had the car at a show some months ago and asked a guy if he saw Millenium Jade painted R33, he said "no but have you seen that rustbicket in the corner"
Hehe took that pic from a weird angle, then rotated it to get it to look better by some reason but every time i look at it i get nauseous
-
Mine was also KL0 before respray, but the enginebay was more or less white, same goes for many paint codes, dont have the exact one for the engine bay though.
Heres how it looked empty and cleaned out (dont mind the monkey):
-
^+1 unless its got a show-style bodykit, then i would have stickers... well all over depending on what look im after, timeattack, drift etc etc
-
PM-R33> Thx
Heres a close-up of how the 'rusty' parts look while getting airbrushed:
The wheels where rather expensive, believe it or not, might be my bad there, so i'd prefer to keep them, although in a perfect world they would be 19" SSR Professor's or Work Meister's
Also getting my hands on a set of Professors or Meisters is hard when you sit in Sweden, any tips where to find them on auction, worldwide?Heres two Photoshoped version to give a hint, im not longer all that sure about the black/black version :S:

What factory EGT sensor?
The only sensor there is after the turbo is the O2 sensor, and the Cat temp warning sensor. The cat temp sensor being plugged into the cat itself.
Is it NOT a EGT sensor in the true sense as it does not have anything to do with the ECU.
All it does it flash up a dash warning light for CAT overheat.
I could be wrong i guess but as i've been told earlier the ecu change the timing if it runs to lean, this 'cause of the cat temp sensor and knock sonsors giving a to high value.
-
Thx for the response!
I think im going for the Matte Black/Gloss Black-look, think it'll match the rusted bolts along with the unpainted carbon on the hood
-
Heres how mine looks now minus the plastic covering the harness
: -
Hey! Need some help deciding what to do with my wheels, they need some freshning up!
They're 19"x9.5 and 19"x8.5 TSW Thruxton with grey spokes/polished lip.
The car has got Millenium Jade paint and rusty bolts airbrushed here and there, also the enginebay and trunk is Kandy Apple red
Heres how my thoughts go:
Matte black spokes/Gloss black lip
OR
Black spokes/Millenium Jade lip
I dont think its worth trying to implement the Kandy Red on the wheels cause enginebay and trunk wont show when i drive around, right
Car as it looks now:
Enginebay and trunk:
Example of how Matte black/Glossy black looks:
-
As long as Nissans little EGT (exhaust gas temperature) sensor is doing its job the engine shouldnt have taken to much internal damage, the turbo though can easily been heavily damaged.
I see you've got a aftermarket exhaust system, have you still got the EGT connected? It looks like a small lambda sensor, placed right before the cat.
-
Without reading anything i would say it sounds like the crank takes a walk in the main bearings
-
Hey no problem, glad to help
-
I would adjust mine so that the outlet of the injectors are positioned as deep as the stocks but its not critical. People run 'em the way it looks now too, only downside i guess is that the spray-pattern might be effected in a negative way.
-
And yet some more progress, have been searching for painted boot's so much that my fingerprints are gone but the only way to really know how it looks is to do it yourself!
Heres the result, hopefully itll look good with polished alu-parts in the engine bay, and a polished fuelcell in the boot. To cover the sides of the boot ill make some CF plates to keep it as 'show'
as possible -
Taking all this out of my head but..
In the 5th pic, the green plug on the left is for the connector sitting by the fan shielding (left side seen from front).
In the 4th pic, the right plug is for the headlight?
-
Heres some progress i thought i'd post, not 100% happy with the result yet so i might give it another go to get sharper edges on the alternator, and get rid of some small scratches on the CAS
-
as long as its neat and tidy with no wires and rubbish it will always look good
dont use too many different colored parts, pick two or three and stick to em
black and chrome always looks good
it has to match the whole look of the car so IMO i wouldnt paint to covers red
paint the covers to match the can and do everything else either chromed or black and it will look awesome
Picking up those tips!
My plan is/was to paint the trunk and engine bay Kandy Red and having things like brake-/clutchcylinders, wipermotor etc.. painted Kandy Red also to make them 'disappear'.
The valvecovers same color as body; Millenium Jade, but now im thinking of having it Kandied too or havings them polished to keep things clean.
To brake things off the aluminium parts like CAS, alternator, powersteering gets a mirror-polish. Will use steel braded hoses for all fluids such as fuel, oils, water etc.
Im going to manufacture a mirror polished fuel cell to place in the trunk.
Thinking of having it stand on a carbon plate cut to fit on top of the spare tire-compartment. The sides in the trunk are getting carbon coverplates too. Not covering to much though since i dont want the paint to disappear so that itll only look like small color dots here and there.
-
I've bought House of Kolor Kandy Apple Red paint, with gold base. The enginebay is completely emptied on cables and hoses/pipe and the ugly fuse/relay/power box is long gone
While im at it im going to paint the boot in the same color and if time lets me, ill use a chromed fuel cell to complete it B-)
I wanted to use real bolts but the glass fibre rear quarters beeing so thin made me choose to just glue them to the body. Then a mate of mine invited his friend that when he showed up proved beeing one of the best airbrush'ers in Sweden. I asked him if he could consider making bolt/pop's and then we shared ideas for a while which ended up in the final rusted pop's around the rear quarters and hood scoop

Just back from the garage, the field where the product code goes was empty, so i guess its pure custom
