yeah its been a three week labour funkymonkey haha.

yes ant she is now mine!! i am so going to either lose my license or kill myself she is actually faster than the skyline.

Great stuff Niz......I know how capable they are....I was up against one at a deca day in Vic...only power mods were intake and exhaust but it had a crap load of suspension work.....even my 200rwkw gtst was humbled by it (not by much but even so).

Enjoy it and I hope to see you at a track or skidpan soon :huh:

  • 3 weeks later...

Nice car niz, I have been sorely missing a turbo car and have been thinking about what to get as my next ride. A mate bought one of these a yellow limited ed one and I went for a drive in it the other day (basic modes, exhauast, pod filter, better suspension) and I was amazed at the low down torque and overall acceleration... i might have to look at one of these :)

nah jezz decided it wasnt for her .....its gone to a new home in rockingham so maybe some of the RICE crew might see it around .... but i doubt it. Its this guys first import - had VK statesmens and stuff like that before. In the end it sold for $14.5K

I had a cry! then i sat in my new project :rolleyes:

yeah but when importers are selling them for about $8K and other people with the same configuration are selling them for $15K .... not much of a choice. Unfortunately a vehicle is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it ...... plus it gets paulie off my back about selling it.

Admittingly my R33 wasn't exactly in perfect - there was a little bit of race tape on there where the corner of the front spoiler had been ripped and a trolley ding in the side etc.

Dan Im not going to argue with that its becoming scary in fact!!

Maybe i should even get a job as a carsalesperson :)

I've started even going off in threads (not these forums) "Should I by this car" it's like why the hell do you need a thread to ask every john, dick and harry should you buy a car or not - we aint going to be driving it, we aint going to be paying for it ..... if you like it and can afford it then the only person left ot give it the okay is an mechanic. Geez .... hahaha maybe that should go in the "what really grinds my gears thread" people that have to bring a committee or consult a committee of people before making a decision that at the end of the day will only effect them.

    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
