hey peoples, any of you guys seen a dark blue series 2 r33 out and about down the coast? it has 18" chromies, standard body kit, and chrome stickering up the side (starts at the sideskirt just behind the front wheel and goes in a spiderweb pattern up the side). he drives around with a guy in a black series 1 r33 with white wheels, white stickers up the side, and white and red gt stripes over the roof. can't miss them. they are guys i know, from up here in gympie, and go cruising down there nearly every weekend. can't miss them.

anywho, if you do see them, feel free to blow the doors off them. they both only have the usual mods, cooler, exhaust and a touch more boost.

good to hear!

the go out and spend shite loads of money making their cars look like something that would be packing well over 300hp, when both would bearly be over 250. i wouldn't go cruising down the coast looking like that unless i had the motor to go with it. its just asking to be laughed at. they're nice guys, but got priorities in the wrong spot IMO.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with ricers! At the moment I've got a NA R33 - it sounds awesome, but has nothing (compared to a turbo). I just make sure that I'm all noise and no show - I don't even attempt to race...

yes, text book ricers. the blue one was the first to get the graphics. he's also put a dvd player in and painted his dash harlequin. the black one is getting a custom interior, and mine is getting a power fc and bigger turbo.

Hey i just bought a TRD 6 spd gear knob for my supra and Sards radiator cap.

gave me an extra 20hp ;)

graphics are nice but not over do 'em i'd say.... but i have to admit,. that black one with the white stripes on the side looks hidious...peel 'em off and just do the interior in white,. it'd suit the white impul rims. :(

Haha i've seen those two skylines down here quite a bit. I'm not one fore big graphics myself, attracts to much attention from the fun busters.. But then again my car isnt to 2 fast or 2 furious enough for graphics..

Roger, i'd like to see a before and after dyno sheet for those mods please.

( pfft impuls are hidious :) )

i put led lights in my dash (purely for my own personal pleasure) and i swear it gave me an extra 100hp straight up, hahaha.

and yes the graphics let the cops know exactly who you are. there are only about 10 r33's up here and most of them are white. i have a wite one, and my theory is if some old granny happens to see me do something stupid then all she is going to see is a white car (unless she's a closet hoon). if those 2 get seen by the old granny she's going to see a black car with white stickers and a blue car with chrome stickers and the cops will know exactly who they are.

Hey matty,.. thats a T78 hey ? did u buy that off a guy from Kuluin who is also selling a T51 ?

thats awesome...one hell laggy monster though.

Yeah its the t78-33d with the smallest 17cm exhaust housing, i had a look at it and damn its in good nick. If i can get 1 bar by 4000rpm with cam gears tuned for midrange i should still have a big power band (4000rpm).. When its on i'll get matt spry to try get as much midrange and tourqe as he safely can, should be fun. :D:(

Matty - Everythings for sale at the right price :(

Just had a business opporunity arise and had to borrow some extra $, so to pay back the loans or keep the GTR is the question at the moment. Just thought I would put it out there to see if anyones interested and if it sells it sells if it doesn't it gets more money spent on it :D

With that in your thing it might actually have a better top end than mine..........sh@t I'll have to hang onto mine now and spend more, what the heck, where's my chequebook.

Keep ya ear out for anyone that's looking to upgrade, as I have only come across tyre kickers so far.

Hey scotty was just thinking if you're sending your car back to stock, i could help you out, if you need stock injectors and turbo's/cams if your selling your gear off maybe we could work something out as i'll soon have the stock gear off mine due to upgrades, marty could do the swap over easy as. Cash plus stock parts for your gear. Let me know, i can come round to discuss further if ya want, ur only two streets away haha.

:)

Dynamix is yours the blue GTR with white centre rims?

Thats prolly me, though my rims dont have white centres. I'm pretty sure i'm the only one with a midnight blue gtr on the coast.. (only %5 of r32 gtr's are midnight blue in colour from the factory..) Thr caps on my rims are alloy in colour, same as the spokes. Easiest way to spot me is i have a www.skylinesaustralia.com sticker the full lenght of the rear windshield up the top, then you'll know its me. :D

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
