Mindless R33 Madness
PLYNX replied to MindlessR33's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
That's an exceptional price for that front quarter cut ! Even here in Aus you couldn't get it for that price ! And that front bar will transform the front of the car. Another cosmetic thing I did was change out the front guard blinkers to clear or smoked versions. After a while I started to notice it was the only yellow thing on the car and, to me, didn't look right. -
how are manuals worth more than autos?

5 Zigen Twin Mode Clutch System ! So you can have both ! -
Holy Snappin Duck Sh%t Batman ! That's a seriously Warragamba Dam sized front air dam man ! I've got a heap of envy bordering on jealousy ! I remember a white fastback coup from back in the day with the same sized flares makin 380hp. Had some weird engine conversion running a Yamaha head . . . Loved them back then and still love em now !

R32 Gtr Build In Usa
PLYNX replied to HarrisRacing's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Looks like a clean unit and I like the number plate ! What $ are they asking in the US, if you don't mind me asking ? -
I've been down a similar road( as probably everyone has) and lately its been worse across the board. So i started to have a serious look at how its generated and found we, in life are bombarded by negativity to the point of conditioning. You turn on any media stream and its how bad things are not how good we are doing, no matter what the subject. You start to think the negative side of things are the norm and expect it to go pear shaped even before you start. So, how to get over it ? Well, for me, behind my office desk I have a few quotes, framed up on my wall and they go like this: 1. - "Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done its always your choice." - Wayne Dyer 2. - "If you wait by the river long enough, bodies of your enemies will go floating by." Sun Tzu - The Art of War. 3. - "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. Its Not" - Dr Seuss 4 - "If you always do what you've always done, you will always get what you've always got" - Henry Ford. And lastly I really get motivated when someone tells me I cant be done. If you re-think how you think your mental process will change and along with that your problem solving ability and so you motivation will be renewed.

Looking for alarm and immobiliser suggestions
PLYNX replied to Steem's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
My preference was the South African ( where car jacking and car theft was a massive problem ) solution where they install an bunch of flame thrower pipes under the drivers side door sill. So when they crims tried to jack it you stomped on a switch and it shot 1.5 meter flames on them. -
Its a fairly common problem as Ive repaired a few of them over time. Take out the climate control unit. Un-clip the tabs that hold the fascia on ( there's a few of them and I think you have to unscrew the two holding screws at the back ) Once its apart you'll see the two plastic tabs/hinges that hold the OFF button in place are broken off. Under the button will be a small white pin that goes into the unit that presses the internal switch. I discarded this and cut the same length of plastic tube from the inside of a ball point pen and attached it to the small cross on the inside of the OFF button using a small cut down male electrical connector ( 4mm bullet male connector ) and a bit of epoxy glue to get it into place. Bit of a fiddily job but might be worth it seeing your in Canada

From what I have seen in my own R33 they will work in either. What has happened to your original one ?

Mindless R33 Madness
PLYNX replied to MindlessR33's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
A very nice rid indeed ! A type M front bar is your friend here ! It will bulk up the front and suit your side skirts and rear pods . . . . that's my styling opinion anyway ! -
Cant really see a problem with that fuel pump assembly ! There's at least another hundred thousand miles in it yet !
-
Yes faulty TXV valve would be my best guess Once its blocked or gets just a little bit of crap in it it stops working. Happened to me had it changed out and now it works fine.

I'm wanting to get my RB25 beween 500 & 1000 hp
PLYNX replied to MrSINNER's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Get a Kia Stinger. 12s in the quarter mile. And you'll get change from the 65K for mods to make it even faster ! ! -
Seriously a LC ? 2 or 4 door ? If its a 2 door you might of devalued it a bit with the RB26 ! ( no disrespect to the RB26 ! ) The prices of Torries these days are through the roof.

I cant resist . . . . its from Roswell . . . maybe it was a b d u c t e d . . . . certainly looks like aliens tampered with it . . . and yes I know, before you all start, I can read a map too !

Unknown wire coming out from handbrake boot cover
PLYNX replied to r33tensh's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Connecting cable to the Flux Capacitor ! Should connect up to the roof somewhere. -
Have you seen this? Crank Sensor Bracket broken!
PLYNX replied to Strexx's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Bahahaha ! Very droll ! My guess would be a heavy handed mechanic not torquing up the bolt to the right spec and fracturing the aluminium -
R34 GT-V with rear fog light
PLYNX replied to John Stamos's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I believe it was an cold weather option for Nissan's for the north of Japan so as to see the car better in heavy fog or snow conditions -
Is that 238 number a test of hardness ? If so which one ? Is it Brinell, Rockwell, Knoop or Vickers ? My understanding of Cryo treatments is that it is a stress reliving process - cooling the metal down to a very low temp and bringing up to a very high temp over a long period of time, usually around 48 hours. I believe this realigns the dendritic crystalline structure of the metals for greater rigidity and thus greater strength.
