Found Myself A Turbo Timer

Well last night i was driving along in my car, as you do in a car, and to my surprise something started obstructing my feet from braking and pushing the clutch. It didn't affect it to the point where i couldn't use them it was just very annoying to use the brakes and clutch.

To my surprise, a greddy turbo timer had dropped down. It isn't connected or anything but i was surprised to find it. I don't have a turbo timer so this might be good for me. I am surprised that the guys installing my alarm didn't tell me anything about it.

Now the questions come to mind that has my car been as stock as a rock as it was said when i bought the car for it's whole life. I have also found out that the speed limiter has been removed. I am not sure if my mechanic removed it when he did my clutch because he also took the restricter out aswell. I had gotten to 180 before i gave it to him but i never tried going over and after the restricter was out i tried to test out if it was there and it wasn't.

So what are your thoughts guys.

I wouldn't mind a free greddy turbo timer........I wish one fell out of my car and into my hands......let me know if a powerfc drops out of your car too...I'll have it hahahaha jokes man :D

But yeah, was your car imported in the last couple of years?

Mine was. It had modifications before it came to australia and it was taken back to stock to get complied. I'm the second owner of the car in australia, and the first owner didn't say anything to me about it having modifications prior to it coming to australia.

It was a bit of a shock cause i thought something broke off. I just checked then and 2 powerfc's fell out. I'll send one over to you :lol:. I WISH.

My car was imported in january this year and i got the car about 15 days after it got complied. Technically i'm not the first owner but i bought the car of a guy who does the importing. It had only done 50km in australia since being complied.

It had an aftermarket stereo and it had some holes inside the car where something was mounted but i'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was modified maybe it wasn't. I'm guess it was more than stock though before aus. It does have 33 gtr rims on it and it is a white 1990 model so it would have been resprayed because i don't think they came out in white that year.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
