maybe cause im from melb its a bit dearer???

either way we both got skylines thats the important thing. they are !@#$ MAD!!!

:D

Hey Champinco I just got mine to, actually its a few days away. Almost done getting compliance. All up it cost me $18k or just under. Its completely stock and has done 73k. Its the same a S2 97 gts. What mods you gonna do straight away?

Did you get yours imported or picked it up locally?

In sydney too hope to be seeing you around =)

Late 1996 Series 2 WHITE R33 GTS25t M-spec

got mine a year ago for $24500 all stock except HKS turbotimer and apexi avc-r boost controller (older model) had around 50k on the clock...

blew my turbo a few months ago running a Garret T3/t4 also got APexi N1 catback with custom stainless steel frontpipe Trust AIRINX pod filter running 0.8bar (11psi) it ripes now!

DAMN!!!!! UR CRAZY. mad car!!!

to Gester

i bought mine on tuesday, it was a straight import, the guy just imported it and needed the money so i bought it off him, we got it on road (reg and stamp etc..) for 24k. i havnt done any mods to it yet (as i just bought it) but it came with HKS intercooler (front piping) and air filter, alarm and immob, turbo timer, 6-way speaker system, full body kit, mats, and thats about it. as ive said b4 i have been looking for ages and i dont trust giving deposits on imported cars unless myself, my bro and our mechanic test drive em...so i guess the car i have now past all these tests. i love it!!!

Potential mods: mostly exterior 1st, as r33 rips already. (coming straight off a 96 magna)

probably touch ups, and a cut and polish for looks, then most likely rims and definetely a sunroof.

then a boost controller, and aftermarket computer.

For now ill enjoy it will i can.

gester

with regards to the sunroof, i aint too sure, all i know is this guy said to me that he will do it for 1500. now im not sure if he was spinning shit but 1500 for an electric sunroof sounds good i guess. im not sure (considering i work at a automotive company i should find out hey!).

im in no rush to get a sunroof, preferabbly b4 next summer, thats if melb decided to have one this year!!

hey bro i got my sunroof put in my car aftermarket for $1300 at sydney wetherill pk no problems the best spec that i have on my car though it quite crazy i love it 02 9757 4011 is there number in sydney but they have branches all around but they only want to do brand new cars there wholesalers and they fit all the sunroof for australian prooduction cars eg. clubbies! i went through my dads garage so i got wholesale price.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
