Hey all!

As of today i am the proud new owner of a 96' Black R33 GTS-T! It's FOB and i am the first Australian owner.

Its in absolutely brilliant condition bar one thing, it's idling like poo and stalling quite frequently once stopped at lights etc, it drives perfect once going though! The car compliance place i got it from said this was due to stale jap fuel in the tank but i filled it to full and it's still doing it! He also said a good long drive would sort it out...I'm at work at the moment though and will have to test that part of his advice tonight. Have you guys experienced this before? Is it overly bad? it's really annoying me and if a long drive doesn't fix it i'll be very frustrated.

Also he hooked me up with an XFORCE cat back exhaust, 3.5" piping, are these good quality?

Sounds like a boost leak to me.

If you're running an aftermarket BOV, try to plumb it back, or run a

stocky. If that doesn't help, you might have to check turbo piping for

leaks.

If that doesn't work, fuel pump might be on the way out. If that doesn't

help... get back to me, and I'll give you more things to check

Sorry guys i should have specified! Currently the engine is ENTIRELY stock, and it's only got 37,000km - genuine, so i hope the fuel pumps not gone! A boost problem sounds semi serious! i was hoping that the idle just needed to be turned up a little or something? How do i check for boost leaks?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
