Haha i will ask him on Monday..

Yeah i texted Leon he said he's got nothing laying around, my mate couldn't organise a trailer anyway so he didn't end up coming.

Anyone else head out to TnT last night? Really good turn out of spectators and a good number of cars, was a good night

That would be super. Is it not roadworthy or was there another reason for it being trailered? Just need it to be able to drive around the block to test. Hopefully it plays up to so I can get a replacement and it will be problem solved :)

I need someone who is willing to drive about 1km down the road in an R33 gtst :) lol

Got my oil cooler sandwich plate on today, finally got that and the cooler the other day. Had been sitting at the post office since the 21st of November but the useless delivery drivers either didnt leave a note or put it somewhere stupid and it blew away

Also still looking for someone with an R33 GTST I can plug this power FC into and see if its the unit or my car with the problem

If anyone knows someone whos willing to help out it would be good. No hard running, the problem is at lower RPM on and off throttle so wont need to thrash the car or anything

Let me know :)

There just the JJR ones, but I think they are East Bear rip offs.

Either way they look good (better in real life then the photos) and didn't cost much at all :) My old OEM ones were leaking and I was going to re-seal them but I just thought I'd buy new ones instead

The Qest ones look better being All LED's everywhere. Mine just have LED globes that I got for the reverse and the indicator lights.

kool kool, ah i was looking at the jjr ones for a bit, but couldnt find the all led ones just brake. so found a guy doing the qest ones. they make a simple light looka whole lot better. hows your rig comin along, is that a second motor your doing, or you have pulled ur car apart. find anyone for the computer run yet.

Shrek, one piece RB26 crankshaft keyway, worth getting one made? It seems Will has accidently left mine out when he sent back to me..... Pretty sure it wouldnt be hard to get one done around here if it's a worthy option.

Engine is at a standstill till the Crank gets balanced, Apparently everyone wants theirs done before christmas so might not see it till the new year. Other then that it's pretty much ready to bolt together I think.

Mine's still on the road with my original engine in it, learnt my lesson from Other people on here :P

And I'm still looking for another 33 to test the Power FC out in. Hopefully if its dodgy in that to Apexi will be good with their warranty.

If you buy the timing gear + Backing plates they come with the keyways. So if its something you havent got yet it might be worth talking to Kudos or whoever about it. I got mine from Kudos with both keyways so was pretty happy

Edited by 89CAL

I just ordered new tensioner kit from KMS and Will has my keyway which he's sending up, I asked him about a one piece keyway... mentioned it would be stronger, unneeded and require crank out really.

NO THANKS CAPTAIN. ILL MAKE DO

Apparently I was wrong,Crank is ready to be picked up :)

some progress pics from today, did some mucking around working out where to run some lines, and also put the cams in. Sump is clean now as is the pickup, amazing what a few weeks in a dip tank will do:

Dunno doubt it tho we are always a fair bit behind the rest of the country. We still don't have 100 octane here yet lol.

Anyone know what the story is with the silver 180 plates 18ZRO? Been parked on the side of the road for a few weeks at the roundabout that heads out to blacks beach?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
