Hi guys,

i've been tooling around on this forum for a year or two now, mostly as a reader rather than a poster while I had my cefiro... well I defected to NS for a while after I got my 180sx but now I'm back with my latest purchase - a minty nice series II R33 gts25t.... so i thought I would introduce it and myself so if you see me round on pacific hwy on the north shore you can give us a friendly nissan wave...

anywho - see you all round!

Heres a few pics:

thanks for the kind comments guys...

reeser - I am using it as a daily for the mo, so maybe some wheels, stereo and then later when i get bored with the power i'll start adding a few engine mods...

hell yeah its kursed, all my cars have been :rofl:

hEY kURSK,

So, tell us,

why did you switch from the cefy to the 180, and then from the 180 to the series 2 r33?

Which i best or what do you like about each, why,etc.

Thanks

I sold the cef because I wanted a manual turbo and the ceffi was an auto - but it was so damn clean and purty that I still regret selling it, should have kept it as my daily driver... So I got the 180sx, which was nice as it was a manual and back to the nice sr20det engine. thrashed around in that for a while but it had borked suspension so I put in some nice coilovers and turned a nice streetable 180 into a car that was almost undriveable on shithouse syd roads...

fuggin potholes would send my kidneys into my lungs... my girl wouldn't get in the car after she experienced one of my regular slides in the wet (unintentional one this time!) due to stiff suspension, a corner and a well placed pothole... very ghey.

So I guess I kind of got over the car (not only that reason there were more like back seat space, a really squeeky sunroof etc etc) and i had a holiday in europe coming up and the extra cash helped too.

The R33 - its modern, fast enough for a daily, roomy, and I luuuurve nissans... I know it would serve well as a good basis for mods if i choose that route. so thats about it i guess!

peace~

Luke

its actually a full 3" from turbo, with Xforce muffler. Its quite loud, I set off all the alarms in the carpark at chatswood when I drove through there on saturday hahahhaa oops. will have to watch that one.

as I said above, plan is a few comfort mods then once I am bored with the power i might start tweaking the engine... she's only got 70,000kms on her so shes a good base... and once I detailed it after i picked it up I found there was actually a nce car under all the grime!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
