My point is that a competent driver doesn't need ABS. A competent driver reads the road, and can anticipate the need for brakes, not "Oh SHHIIIITTTTTT", and stomp on brake pedal.
I got my 32 in 2000. It has ABS. It was the first car I ever had that had ABS. I have activated the ABS on 2, maybe 3, occasions. The first was on the track shortly after I got the car, and I didn't really realise at the time that it was the ABS. The rest of the time, I simply apply brakes up to the threshhold of wheel lockup, in effect I am the ABS unit.
Learn to drive, and you won't need ABS, so you won't need the swtch.
What happens if you forget to turn the ABS back on? (and don't say you won't - we all forget things accasionally)
sounds like somebody took the babble from the Initial D anime too seriously lol

The p-plater part is total BS, but you cant fight the fine for not wearing P-plates - you lose there.
Just one thing tho... I HATE cops ! THEY SHOULD BE ALL DROWN AT BIRTH ! AS NWA ONCE SANG " F U C K T H E P O L I C E "

what sort of power will this support?
Some people have absolutely no idea do they ???
A fuel pressure regulator maintains the fuel pressure at a preset level in the system, a raising rate fuel pressure regulator varies the pressure at a certain ratio depending on the current boost level.... Most aftermarket fuel pressure regulators give the tuner the ability to adjust the base pressure to suit their higher flowing aftermarket injectors (most RB engines have it set at approx 40 psi) .
It's the FUEL PUMPS and injectors that 'support' your sort of power buddy, the fuel reg plays a small role. It's not rocket science.

Message me if you get sick of posting to yourself and want to part with them for $600. cheers.

You WILL 100% need the oil restrictor in the block when using the Tomei oil pump !!! And preferably fit a fast oil drain at the back of the head as well if possible. It's a great oil pump....too great.

How can you be certain they are genuine Cusco ? Does it have the actual company logo on the arms ? Thanks

I think you'll have trouble giving this stuff away..... Ring the local council mate ! I think garbage collection is Wednesdays.

They make great door stoppers ! perfect weight.

Hi, I'll grab the fuel regulator if you can email me a photo of it with the front page of the current newspaper (both in the same photo)- Sorry, there are people that advertise non-existent items, but would gladly take the money, so please dont take it personally.
Thanks.

0.64 rear on a RB25..... it'll come on quick but run out of puff up the top end when chasing big power.

I think the 'Light Reduce' system is the dimming of the headlights when the car is at idle and lights up to full beam once the car starts moving, I think it was a factory option from Nissan (but not a very popular one)..... correct me if Im wrong. I own a factory 'lightweight' version of the R33 GTS25t that came without the rear wiper and this car came with the 'light reduce' system, it was disabled when the previous owner installed the HID setup back in Japan.

Sorry mate, but I think $700 is just a tad ambitious.

Nice... They definitely have a 'show' aspect to them. The outer lip on them reminds me of my 19inch Konig's.

hay buddy
what ill do is when i get home (and it stops fkn raining) ill measure the gap where they would sit in the opening of the front bar. if u could please measure the gap from the front section of the canard top to bottom i could better guage the physical size of the thing.
ill also speak to my mate shane from psi parts and see if we could modify them and remake them again in carbon
thanks dude
Reproducing these in wet carbon fibre would not be hard at all. The trickest part would be making up the molds -
1) waxing component to be copied with several layers of special wax
2) coating with tooling gelcoat
3) applying poly resin and reinforce with fibreglass mash
4) repeat step 3 until a thick enough layer is built up
5) wait until cured and 'pop' it out
Once the mold is made, you can make copies of the part by using carbon fibre fabric, you could even use carbon-kevlar or even kevlar on its own depending on the look youre after.
The trick is not to stirr up the resin too much when mixing in the hardener (Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide - MEKP) - this creates bubbles and you dont want bubbles appearing all over the top of the layer of carbon fibre.
I've made up many carbon parts by using this technique.
Anyways, hope that helps.

No silver ones ? I have the turbo timer grafted/mounted into the dash and chasing one of these in silver to match.

There's another pair posted on here that are in excellent condition for $1200.... Can you post up some pics ?

Sellers have to give potential buyers incentives to want to buy from them ! Why would somebody buy from a private seller when they can get it from the shop with warranty for the same price ??
Try not being so greedy .... try offering $1380 for the oil pump and I reckon you'll have it sold in no time.

Thanks evil_weevil, I'll try those place next week and see what they say.
180_mph, seriously man, why wouldn't I post the easy-blue-slippers here ? Wouldn't it make life easier for others in the same boat as me ? Besides, blue slips aren't something that's needed everyday.
Plus it's extra business for the mechanic........so it's a win-win-win situation for all involved.
Gregor, at no stage did I mention the term 'dodgy' lol I said 'blind mechanic' just so that I'm not discriminating against the disabled LOL

where in sydney?
I'm also semi curious about this.. i'm kinda in the same boat... i've just been spending a fair bit of time returning some bits to stock but it still have some mods i dont want to bother changing.
I'm between Blacktown and Parramatta out west
I searched around a bit and got recommanded the following people
* Hami LPG - Blacktown - Some indian guy that really hates oil leaks but usually pass most things that arent too out-of-this-world
* Zec - Castlehill
* Eastern Creek Smash Repairs
Please let me know if anybody has had experience with any of these places in relations to blue slips....Thanks.

Hi fellow Skyliners,
I have a R33 (1997 series 2 GTS25t) that's been unregistered since 2005 and it's been garaged all this time - it's been turned over and warmed up every weekend so it's all good in that aspect.
Now, what I want to know is, I plan to get it registered in the next few weeks and it requires a blue slip. It's relatively stock except for
* Frontmount Intercooler - installed properly with brackets
* A really quiet exhaust that it came from Japan with
* Set of 19 inch rims
* M-sport front bumper & 400R side skirts
* Rear seat removed - I want to register it as a two-seater.
I mean....it's still got the factory air induction box ffs !
Does anybody know of someone that does blue slips in western Sydney that's not so strict in regards to minor modifications ? I'll pay the extra few dollars for a blind mechanic if need be - if you know what I mean *wink* *wink*
Your help is much appreciated.

Flood affected cars?
Owners are being paid out by insurance. Thought of that?
Not everybody can afford (or want to pay for) full insurance for a modified high performance vehicle. Thought of that ?

omg! had the exact same prob last wk from that huge storm in bris. ended up snatch strapping my car home using 4wd.
my r33 had mass amountz of water in the intercooler, the spark plugs where also flooded with water.
i also did oil change & new filter as water was in the oil. ive checked for water in my fuel using my injector rail, as i ripped the back seat out & couldnt find drain plug.
so far plugs still have spark, no water in fuel but my car is still running bad..
so my advice is check ur plugs 1st, try not 2 start the car coz with the water & then the heat ul crack the ceramic case rnd the plugs & u dont want that shit in ur engine.
check ur oil & if u got water then ul have 2 fix that. i also had 2 take L/H light out & drain water from that.
if u solve the problem completely let me know how, coz mine still aint running 100%
Hello fellow Skyliners,
I just want to let you guys know the damage that water can do to the internals of an engine.
My work mate told me about his young son and his N14 Pulsar. He installed a pod style air filter to his car but decided to mount it really low in the engine bay to avoid heat and to pick up cool air, which make good sense..... until he decided to go to a party one night and took it paddock-bashing, through puddles of WATER...... the water managed to work it's way into the cylinders due to the low position of his air filter.... After that, the car started to run 'wonky'. As described by our science teacher back in high school, water is a liquid and unlike gasses, it can not be compressed. What happened was, when he tried to crank the engine over with water in the cylinders, as the piston tried to compress the water, it ended up BENDING the con-rods in his engine !
So if you are 100% sure there is no water left inside the engine and it's still running bad.....then there is a chance that you may have bent a con rod or three....or six..... or even worse....YOUR CRANK SHAFT ! Oh yes.... 'Its only water' you must be thinking..... You'd be surprised ..... So start praying.
Good luck.
Stock Car Running 1 Bar Boost?
in Forced Induction Performance
Posted
Years ago when I first got my R33 ser II GTS25T, I picked up a Turbosmart Tee for it, however, one thing that people have to watch is the hose barbs / nipples on the Tee is slightly smaller in diameter so the factory vac line would pop off if not clamped down properly....Long story short, I was on the freeway that night and all of a sudden I was maxing out my boost gauge at 20+ psi and sideways on the freeway in 5th ! The hose from the Tee to the actuator popped off and the wastegate wasn't opening to regulate boost. The motor would've went 'pop' if I had kept at it but I'd learnt two things that night.... One is to use the correct size vac lines, two is what these motors are capable of with a little extra boost - I wasn't too familiar with these car at the time but that incident accidently showed me the hidden power potential in these RB donks.
