G'day feller's, I finally got my R33 last night...havent taken any pics of it yet, so ill post the ones that were on carsales...:)

Whats the specs on that R33? It looks to be a series 1... but series 2 headlights?

Why fellas, here's my beast... nicknamed Nissie Nismo , making 265 kW's at the wheels and haven't lost a battle yet.

yeah 265kw are u sure, i fitted the cooler in that car, but i've left now cos they like to take everyones cash and use second hand shit and charge it out new way overpricing ppl and then dont pay the staff, cos they are f**kheads who rip your arse, i suggest you remove the sticker of the rear window to save yourself from embarrasment, that lil orange brothel of a workshop on mcintyre rd is a disease and should be burnt to the ground, they are scum and should be shut down, only place on mcintyre rd thats decent is james at O.H, don't go nextdoor to the muppets, notice how it's always the same cars at the front just rearranged, it's cos noone can afford the bill, you were charged a thousand bucks to supply and fit that cooler yeah?, it took me 2.5 hours to fit it and it came from gkteck, so the kit was $450, so u got charged $550 bucks labour to fit a cooler thats $220 bucks and hour bro, dammmnnn. just a warning to anyone who is going over that way, don't get sucked in, with the likes of an x force exhaust system fitted for like $1600 cos they say they are epa approved, well they arent, so once again, rip that damn sticker of it makes me feel ill.

that's a really nice/unique colour you got there

though the twin colour scheme looks weird without the front bar

Yeah the two tone has a real nice funky look to it... just needs a s2 or gtr spoiler, standard s2 type m rear pods and sideskirts and s2 front bar with a lip of some sort on it... with that colour scheme :(

Some new pics I took today, sporting new plates :D

the following pics were taken on the weekend on GODZLR's VERY FIRST driver training day on Saturday. A great day it was, and can't wait to get out there again and learn more about how the car handles etc.

7k launches on a slipping twin plate..why not?

Notice something unusual......

As some may have noticed in one photo, my happy snap camera was attached to my rear numberplate just to see how it went. I tried the front and back plates, and passenger window using my Ixus 65 camera on a Manfrotto window mount (not suction cup)

The videos taken can be viewed here:

Mate, nice car bro.... glad you're enjoying it... just 2 suggestions though... 1) get rid of the towbar as it looks out of place on a Sports car - it's Godzilla not a station wagon.... 2) dump the car down a bit as it looks a bit high...

and oh, I must ask - the front bar doesn't look original genuine GT-R... is this right?

However, no doubt it is a GT-R of course.

dude, what % are those tints. they look good. any trouble seeing out of them at night?

I think they're 15%, I got mine 15% as well with 30 or 35% for the front

it's not as dark looking out from the inside as it looks from the outside

but you'll need those LED ceiling lights that 666DAN is selling

that is if you want to find something in the cabin at night

1) As someone mentioned, it was the happy snap camera attached to the number plate

2) I was waiting for someone to say that.

The car came lowered (on Cusco coilovers), however the dump pipes were like 2 inches off the ground. I use the car for work purposes (when I get the opportunity) and travel through some country areas where pot holes / big deep ditches can be found.

I raised the car to get over the pits first, however after using it at its current raised height for the past few weeks I absolutely love it!! It's not crashing over anything and I don't have to drive on a 45degree angle in car parks or to get up steep driveways. I plan to paint and repair the front lip (couple joins broken), so the raised height will also come in handy in keeping that in good condition.

Sure lowered looks hot, but meh I'm over the whole looks thing. My mum says it sounds like a truck, and now I can say it looks like one too :)

3) The front bar is genuine GT-R, and yes you are correct its a GTR (V-Spec) as well lol. Everything exterior wise is original, except for the Nismo bonnet lip & smoked lenses.

MattyP: Love the car, and the action shots.

But in the still shots, the background is far to busy for my liking (esp. the deli shots). It hides the car too much as the background is such a mix of colours, your car just shaddows in contrast to them.

A nice plain light colourd background would make car stand out :)

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
