You just have to be patient :pwned: Ebay can be quite the treasure trove, I picked up my exhaust on ebay as well, for ~$200, not too bad for a trust exhaust.

Basically I'm in no hurry to do my mods as I want to make sure I do them right the first time, so I'm just waiting for the right parts to come up at the right price. I didn't honestly expect to win the cooler, but I guess coz it was finishing while most people were at work I got lucky :whistling: I was within $10 of being out bid :)

Well hey, it's up in the "taxi" section so... why not here i guess...

No I quit there about a month ago... heading back to Uni to finish off my degree... I used to see (hear) your car go passed nearly every morning >_<

Cheers dude, and yeah Calder started to stuff things up when we were running the show, bureaucratic bullshit as far as I'm concerned... See what these boys can pull off...

Seems only natural to post it here as well...!

Here's my baby, it's a GTS-t factory manual turbo in solid white - exactly how I wanted it! It's stock atm but in the pic it has TEINs and a muffler. About to attack it with the mods...should be a fair bit different by the end of the year...decisions, decisions ;)

PS: 4 doors ROCK! - they look the greatest IMO...

PPS: AutoTrust I don't particularly like 33 sedans, but I'd take yours in flash!

Hi all, i own a R33 series one 4 door.

Bought it about 5 months ago now in stock condition clock read about 98,000kms

Added 2 1/4 inch from cat back (its a non-turbo), 18" rims, uni filter air filter, window tinting.

Only other things worth doing is slappin a body kit on and then lowering my ride but as i frequently take drives up yourke peninsula in sa, some of the roads can get a bit harsh and im worried that ill be scraping the entire way up.

Have had a few tiny probs, auto choke is starting very low at times, and a fuse blew when i was changing my stereo over......but far out, thats about it. Nothing (touch wood) has gone astray as yet.

Ohhh and yeah, its an awesome ride, really pleased with the purchase.

All the best guys.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
