Hey mate, still for sale? will these fit a standard r33 gts-25t series 1? how much is freight to brissy? PM me back with a phone number.

i pm-ed u. we'll catch up.

Hey mate, so u can do oil changes, etc? May come to you next time!

159.2KW is quite good for a pretty much stock car (apart from the stuff listed in my Signature). Another member in this forum only got 140kw from their stocky!!! Had to get it serviced (major) and dyno-ed cos I bought it 2 weeks ago and it had misfiring on high rpm (Thanks to BryanB who told me about it). I also wanted to know how many KWs were at the wheels. Overall, they changed the sparkies to NGK Platinums, did a full service on it for under $500. Now I can rest at ease every time I floor it!!! So now I am a proud owner of a laminated dyno chart that's accredited and signed. As for boost, the guy at APC set it on 10 psi. Excuse me, but I dun know too much about turbo cars, so I dun know what 10 psi will do/if it's good or bad. However, I have been informed that I got a great condition car and with the setup I have got (bleed valve, etc), it is optimal. I dun plan on ugrading the engine, etc as yet, so very happy with what I got.

All done.....Finally! The steering wheel is ok, so is the gear shift selector. The cigarette butt burn was fixed also....Veyr happy now.. the dude's name is : Shane Allt Custom Trim Designs - Capalaba 0417 071 194

Hey all, Finally got some pics of the white dials in my car....

I am very happy with my performance tune package from APC Underwood. They even laminated my Dyno chart....159.2KW at the wheels....Not too bad!

1. The negative terminal battery wire (earthed to chassis) was too short, hence, could not move it over to dodge the speaker magnet. 2. Cutting the parcel shelf steel is not recommended as it is considered part of the car's structural frame. Whereas cutting the armrest void is 'safe'. The metal bits that were cut out were flexible - not part of the structural frame. Only about a few centimetres were cut out.

Hello All, To all of you who are wanting to upgrade the standard factory speakers into better ones, be aware that the clearance from the parcel shelf and the boot is minimal. So where is the next best position you ask? As per the thread titled 6" x 9", not too many audio stores will install speakers in the parcel shelf of R33's. This leaves only a select few options: 1. Replace the standard speakers with same size diameter - very restrictive in terms of sound! 2. Throw in a pair of splits? To be honest, for the $$$ you will pay for splits, I'd rather get 6x9's (cheaper). Ok, so now you've decided to install 6 x 9's and the parcel shelf won't fit them without heavy modification. The next best place to put them is near the rear passenger side armrests! refer to pic. I do not have a step by step picture tutorial to this install, however, it's simple! 1. Remove rear seat (top piece) held down by 2 bolts. These bolts ae sitting in between the bottom and the top seat sections. Just spread both pieces open and you'll know what I am talking about. Lift the top piece upwards and out she comes! Then undo the two bolts on the bottom piece, These bolts are visible and attach themselves to the floor carpet. Then out she comes also! 2. Undo the screw behind the front seat seatbelt pillar mount. Then undo the bolt holding the seat belt guide rail below (where the end of the seat belt is attached). 3. slowly, from the parcel shelf end, slide your fingers into the armrest trim and pull. The piece should come out easily! Repeat for the other side. 4. Remove the parcel shelf (for my car, it is held down by 3 child restraint bolts). Then out she comes also! 5. Remove the speakers and disconnect them from the terminals, they are no use sitting there anyway! By doing this, you have just made room for future sub soundwaves to be able to come through via the parcel shelf. The 2 round openings act as a bass duct from the boot to the cabin. Notice how cheapy the factory speakers are! My ones were sun damaged and the papercone disintergrated when I touched it! 6. The 'hard' part!!!! cut out a speaker housing template (usually from the paperbox the speakers were packaged in). Using the template, orientate it onto the hollow void of the frame and panels (the area behind the armrest trim). Make sure the speakers are well clear of the armrest moulding on the trim and away from the reinforced steel pillar. Once you are happy with the template location, outline it and proceed to cut with an angle grinder or tin snips. The metal should be very easy to cut as they serve no structural purpose. You shouldn't need to cut out too much metal! If you are using a grinder, have a vacuum cleaner handy and also cover up all your interior since the sparks will fly everywhere! Clean up the area inside of the car and start on the wiring. This is straighforward. Just run some speaker wires from the parcel shelf speaker terminals and down towards the armrest location. Use foam or duct tape and tape up all holes and crevices (except for the door trim fastener holes and the speaker hole you have just cut). 7. Now, using the same template, position it onto the armrest trim. Since my speakers were 7x10's, I couldn't fit them exactly into the carpeted area of the arm rest trim as I had to dodge the steel pillars. 6 x 9's should fit snugly within the carpeted area of the arm rest trim. Trace the template, then dril a pilot hole big enough for the jigsaw bit. Now cut away with the jigsaw! The speaker should sit tightly into the hole you just cut. Before attaching the speaker onto the trim, make sure you vacuum and clean all the debris. Screw the speaker onto the armrest trim and re-attach the armrest trim to the car! Don't forget to wire her up! Repeat for the other side. 8. Re-attached and re-screw everything back. DONE! The benefits of having the speaker in this location are: 1. 6x9's tend to give out good clean and tight bass (depending on brand and deck). To do this, you need a decent sealed enclosure. The void behind the armrest trim is the perfect sealed area for this! 2. The location of the 6x9's will benefit all occupants since they are close to the ear of the front occupants and rear passengers. Whereas, if the 6x9's went into the parcel shelf, then they will only benefit the rear passengers. If you don't believe me, sit on the drivers seat and lean back, your ears should be close to the rear armrest trim. 3. The back parcel shelf is made of the cheapy wood fibres and is thin, the only way to get decent bass is to mount speakers onto thicker wood (normally mdf). This means the parcel shelf needs to be replaced/modified. You could go for speaker spacers made of plastic, but they wont do a 'great' job and look ugly!!! 4. There is not enough clearance to mount your new speakers in the parcel shelf since the battery cell and HICAS chip are in the way! Having the speaker magnet near the battery cell is not advisable! So there you have it, I hope I have justified 6x9's being in the rear armrest trim and helped some R33 owners out! NOTE & CAUTIOn: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! ONCE DONE, THERE IS NO TURNING BACK!!!!!! ************I WILL POST 2 PICS SHORTLY********************

Can anyone help? I can't find the fuse!!!! is it in the engine bay or driver's side cabin? Everything is in Japanese......hmm.... As for the motors/pumps....are they the 2 that sit under the water resevoir bottle? Help help help.......

Mate, U can grab the clear nismo indicators for $100 brand new from www.slidewizeimports.com

Hey mate.....rear wings for r33? can I come over for a look? pay u cash if i like them. email me back: [email protected]

Dim, Have u got the centre console face? the face that covers the clock, buttons, etc......I am after one..... And also the steering column indicator stalk..the one that turns the headlights on.... And also after the power windows buttons, central lock button assembly (including the plastic face that holds all the buttons together)....on the driver's side door.... I am also after the windscreen wiper pumps x 2....I think that there is 2 of them... U also got the front glove box lid? And the glove box lid between the driver and front passenger seat. Give me an email to [email protected]. give me a price...I'll tell my sis in Melb to come over to grab them..I am in Bris....

Mate, You are correct for a 'standard' car, but we are talking about a 2 door coupe here....The position where I have the Kenwoods are actually closer to the front passenger/driver's ears than the splits would be (if installed in the doors). Reason is becos the speakers are right next to the rear arm rests and near the pillars of the front seat belts....Sit in the car (either passenger /driver seat) and u will notice what I mean! Hope this makes sense mate.

I cant see no pics or wiring diagrams..how come? Has anyone done this around Brissy and can offer some assitance/help to me? I am a Dummy when it comes to Electrical stuff....

A silly question... Will a dyno tune be beneficial in a stock car? I mean, the ECU has not been modified....

Has anyone tried to wrap some fake woodgrain laminate to their consoles/panels? I am interested in doing this.... I bought my car with the centre consoles painted matt black but it's wearing out....sucks...looking for a more luxury feel..woodgrain wood look quite nice...

Ever considered APC in Underwood? They do the whole lot...like dyno, servicing, etc.......I got mine booked for this Mon!!!

Where did u buy them at? I am looking to buy a set and I got quoted $30/each!!!!

I am looking to tint my R33..... Sounds like maybe I should reconsider! Also, do any of u hear the windows make a 'crunk' noise when they are fully shut and u press the button to open them? seems like they dun open smoothly.... My friend has a 1988 celica and he has the same problem..does this happen with age???????? I am frustrated now...
