passenger side inner guard? the plastic bit behind where the stock side mount intercooler is. If you have it let me know Cheers Ben

Hi all, after a passenger side inner guard to replace the one ripped of by the car transport company Autotrans when they moved my s1 r33 lately. If anyone has one or is wrecking a r33 please let me know. It is the section behind where the standard side mounted intercooler is located. It has the vent in it. I would actually prefer one without a vent as this is now where my pod is located and would like to avoid water and dirt coming off the tyre into my intake. Not sure if the non turbo r33 gts has a non vented inner guard or whether it is used on both turbo and non turbo models. If anyone knows please let me know. I need one that is undamaged. Cheers Ben

as stated in title I need 550cc side feed injectors with collars for my rb25/30. New or good condition used. Cheers Ben

That was wierd tried to reply and it just posted a quote. Anyway tried to call and can't get through. Will take the injectors if you've still got them. Cheers Ben

Hi mate, just need the wiring loom that goes from the back of the motor into all the coilpacks, you should be able to just unplug it all. it's not long, about 50cm long with one big plug on one end and six smaller plugs for each coilpack. Let me know if you have it. I guess about $20 posted to Sydney. They're not expensive from Nissan but thought I would try and get it off the forum first. Cheers Ben

Hi guys I need a NEO or series 2 r33 coilpack/ignition loom. It's so I can wire up my 30/25NEO into my S1 r33. Need it asap. Cheers Ben

Hi Guys, Need a bit of advice, have built a 30/25 using a NEO head and about to put it in the car. Was going to use the coils from my s1 rb25det but did a trial fit last night and realised it's not going to happen. they just don't fit. I am going to get some NEO coilpacks hopefully this week. I need to know about wiring them in to the s1 loom. I know I will have to take the s1 igniter out but what I need to know is can I use the s1 loom and just rewire the plugs or do the plugs for each coilpack even fit. If I do need to get a NEO Coilpack loom, does anyone have one or know where to get one? What do I need to do for the wiring where the s1 igniter was, Am I able to pull both plugs off and wire up the s1 loom to send signal to NEO Coilpacks? Any help would be much appreciated. Anything I haven't thought of please let me know. Cheers Ben

Hi Luke, Sent you an offer by text for the Neo coilpacks, Also sent a PM, PH 0425257193 Cheers Ben

Hi Mate, I'll buy your coilpacks, how soon are you going to take them off? I need them pretty soon, like next week if possible. I'm thinking $100 or there abouts. Let me know what you think. Cheers Ben

Hi Ben, I Have put a gtr diff in my 33 gtst, but I just used the GTR housing and swapped the input flange and lopped of the mount for the hydraulic hicas. you need the gtr hubs as the spline is different and of a larger diameter but I assume you have these as part of your "etc., etc.". For using the gtst housing, just check as I can't remember whether the bolt diameter and PCD is the same on the ring gear. If it is you can just bolt your centre into the ring gear and reinstall. While you have the diff out you may aswell change your seals and if your really keen your bearings too. I just put new seals in the gtr housing. You will need to use the GTR output flanges (6 bolt) I will also assume you have these, if you dont, you need to get them. Changing the crap around with the brakes so you can install the gtr hubs is a pain and it would have been easier to change to fork bottom rear struts but this would have slightly changes the geometry at the rear and I was advised against this. You pretty much need to pull the whole lot appart and mix and match till everything is back together. There is a piece which the drum in disk springs hook onto which is a separate part on the ally gtr hub carriers, on the cast iron gtst ones it is part of the casting. There are four bolts to pull the hubs out of the hub carrier on the gtst and four bolts plus the large one for the above mentioned "spring mounting lug"(I just made that name up as it sounded good.) on the GTR hub carriers. You will see what I mean when you get into it. Just realised that you have a r33 gtr rear end and I'm not sure of the differences. I used a r32 one. I'm not going to delete all this stuff I typed cause it may help anyway. If you have the Brembo rear brakes with this rear end you have, I assume you will be swapping that all over anyway so you will need to pull the brakes all apart anyway. Anything else I can help with though, let me know. I know I struggled to find info when I did it.

Hey TJ, I have one left ready to go, to suit a 12" fully carpeted with speaker fittings. If you are in sydney, you are more than welcome to pick it up. If you need it posted let me know so I can pm you my bank details and get your address. Cheers Ben

One left guys, not making any more batches due to lack of interest. May make them to order but the wait time will be greater and as I am moving to Cairns in December, the postage will also be greater. Like I said one left and if there are more people who want them, better get in quick because, as most people on here would already know, my work schedule is very unreliable and I may not have the time to do them until I get to Cairns. Cheers Ben

Thanks guys got a set now. please delete

Hi guys, I'm after a set of rb26 covers including cam covers, coil cover, front cover and front cover backing plate. In fair condition is fine as I will be polishing them. Preferably with the "NISSAN 24 Valve" trim plate not the "skyline gtr" trim plate as it's for a rb30 with a neo 25 head and I don't want gtr on there. If anyone has some they want to sell or knows someone with some please pm me. Cheers Ben

Hi mate, PM sent re manifold. Cheers Ben

Hi guys, thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm glad everyone has been happy with their boxes so far. The hole at the front was measured off my sub and I reduced the size by about 5mm to allow for slightly smaller ones. You can always open the hole a bit more but making it smaller a big drama. For anyone else who has to increase the size of the hole, just do as Ionos has done with the router or even a jigsaw can be used. I have one box left out of this batch and there is a vaugue possibility of me moving back up to Cairns in the near future. I will try and get a few made and leave them with my mate down here but any further ones will need to be posted and may cost a little more. They are not too bad to post but I am going to look into using courier as they are sometimes cheaper than auspost on larger items. Cheers Ben

Hi guys, in answer to your questions, Ionos- postage to Adelaide would be about $25, I am using a 12" kenwood sub in mine and this works great. I'm sure any 12" sub would sound good and some people have suggested a 10" depending on what your after, check out some of the replies on this post for a bit more info. Installation is easy. just attach the wires already in the box to your sub, screw your sub to the mdf front of the box and slide the box into the cavity on the right hand side of the boot. you will also have to trim the boot lining on this side with some scissors or a stanley knife. If your worried about the box sliding around, (which it shouln't because of the snug fit) you can drill some holes in the back and bolt it to the existing holes for the trim that needs removing. MATT-R33 - I have no problem fitting my oldschool deep 12" kenwood in the box so I can't imagine there would be too much trouble with a 10". the overall depth is about 300mm but there is a section that conforms to the bracing in the boot behind the trim which is about 120mm in depth. this doesn't interfere with my sub so it shouldn't with yours but I could always construct one with an offset sub hole further to the rear of the car(right hand side of box when looking at hole side). This would be no hassle as I would have to do one for a 10" anyhow as I only have 12" ones at the moment. just need to cut a front and bond and carpet it. already have shells ready to go. I'm on the North Shore not far from chatswood. Greddy Skyline - These boxes are quite light. The shell being fibreglass keeps the weight down compared to the relatively heavy mdf. I rely on the snug fit of the box to keep it in place and I do throw the car around a bit. so being light doesn't mean it is more likely to roll about. In my experience the boxes available from Strathfield etc. are quite heavy as they are full 16mm mdf on all sides. hope this answers your questions Cheers Ben

Still some for sale ready to go guys. get your orders in.

Hi guys, Thanks Daniel, glad you like the box, Still investigating the left hand side. Will let you guys know when I've come up with something. I think that cutting out the piece of metal on the left side would have to be a last resort. I would much rather see that piece stay and work around it. Will try and work something out anyhow. Cheers Ben

Just another quick note, a rough price from a proffesional audio installer is between $400-$450 for a similar setup as these boxes. I'm not trying to compare with them, just providing a less expensive solution for other's like me out there who can't spend as much as this. Cheers Ben
