Mistakes were made, my R34 Story
Duncan replied to Kinkstaah's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
You have the most amazing imagination....it is not possible for all these things to happen to 1 person -
You've got PM!

As far as I know, the only JPNZ R33 manual is about 500 pages and engine only. Given that JPNZ went to the effort of scanning, translating and collating all those pages, I'd encourage anyone who needs it to pay the small amount for the trouble it can save you. I have not seen a scanned full copy of an original japanese R33 manual, although I do have the W34 Stagea one.

Wwhich should make for a nice drive around both Phillip Island and Sandown. 300kw will probably lead to traction issues at tighter tracks like Winton so big rear tyres, good 1.5 way diff centre etc will help. Larger brakes for the front will help with longer runs too Once you get near 400kw and over stuff starts breaking and getting very expensive to fix and run.

OK, so this is the DS power window plug (both sides) This is the page from the wiring diagram with wire colours Also, if you are looking for the I have the AC plugs and don't need them, it was easiest to just cut the plugs in the car I stole them from (or maybe just because racecar) Wiring for the AC plugs if you need it
-
Are you looking to source and wire in the plugs? I probably have the AC plugs from the race car if you know what they look like

meh, the gtr or an evo9 does 1.06 there with just tyres too, and they are 30 years old....

Positive power cable removal R33 coupe
Duncan replied to G2trop's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
yeah the trick is, when you put the fittings back in the fuse box, there is a bus bar between those 2 terminals and a whole heap of other places.... -
Positive power cable removal R33 coupe
Duncan replied to G2trop's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I'm pretty sure that also feeds the starter motor, and everything else that takes power from the fuse box in the front. Any particular reason you want to remove it? -
You really need to start with some basic checks with a multimeter, that will tell you if power is getting to the switch and from the switch....there are too many places for this to fail after 30 years without knowing that

MLR's Bogan cruise ship

I'm not one to ask for burnout vids, but you could at least put steelies on the back to complete the look -
What goes in this hole? (RB30 block)
Duncan replied to groovezog's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Unfortunately I don't have clear pictures, and this is for an RB26, but this is all of the oil and water plugs in the block according to FAST Every shop will clean a block differently and some may put none (or worse some) of the plugs back. The welsh plugs are pretty obvious if they are missing, although there is a trickier one in the back of the head above where oil drains are often attached. Checking the one under the oil filter housing requires removal of the filter mount and I think there are some differences for rb30 with how the filter mounts. The RB30 I have in the stagea has a stagea oil filter mount so I'm not sure of the standard setup. -
I rewired about 60% of my GTR when I put the haltech and smartwire PDM in. I did remove a fair bit but it is amazing how much you still need for a road legal car (lights, windows, main power distribution/battery etc). I know the S13/SR is a lot simpler but there is still a hell of a lot to it. I enjoyed the process and learning but I don't think the outcome is any better than a new factory or premade loom. And buying must be a lot cheaper once you consider off off costs like specialist tools, connectors, I used milspec wire, needed a labeller, specialist heatshrink, etc etc all adds up.

I doubt all of your problems will be solved with new harness(es), might be issues with switches and modules too. In any case, if you post up your vin we can look up the dash and rear harness part numbers

Sorry no pic, I moved mine to the wheel arch above the BOVs when I added a separate thermostat to the system. It is easiest to see the spot from underneath, so, first jack up you car... But that location you've circled is about right, just attach it the remote mount to the side of the chassis rail. The idea by having it low is that you are down there anyway to drain the oil, and mounting it upside-down low in the engine bay lets the oil that will inevitably come out during an oil change be caught in a pan instead of going all over your engine bay, or in the case of the standard location, all over the front diff to then dribble out over the next 5000klm as you drive around. All of those high mount kits like the greddy one that are designed to go near the fuse box put the filter in a location that is easy to access, but pretty much guarantees messy oil changes.

Are you running the standard ECU? I think you will blow up the engine, probably before I have had a chance to push "Submit Reply" If the mods you said above are the whole list, you need an ECU, almost certainly injectors, maybe a different air flow meter for it to run properly

Should I replace stock RB26 rods?
Duncan replied to Justino2263's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Stock rods are fine at 260-300awkw, I run a little over that in the race car and have never had a hint of a rod issue -
What goes in this hole? (RB30 block)
Duncan replied to groovezog's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I don't have a block handy, but I expect it is access to an oil gallery for cleaning, and therefore needs to be plugged again after machining and cleaning. There is no external feed there. Also, be aware there are other plugs that have probably been removed during cleaning, in particular the one under the oil filter housing that will allow all the oil to drop back to the sump if it is missing....
