breathless,

no worries - if we can get the numbers. i'll more than happily help everyone out

breathless = 2

NA power = 1

baldbeno = 1

another 1 or 2 more, and i'll shoot them an email - tell everyone, post it on r31skylineclub or whatever.

they are able to do RB30E for around the same price.

or if you want an SR20DE, maxima, or whatever - i could probably negotiate prices.

go to: www.partsco.com to check their coby, rage or pacemaker prices and details.

attached are some photos i've managed to get of my set that arrived just the week past. (dont mind the date stamp :D)

just letting you know I've got mine now. I think I'm the last to get them from this first Group Buy.

thanks again!

haha yes you are, sorry reggie. christmas delivery and all.

hope you are happy.

with georgia, that makes 5.

as long as everyone is 100% sure they want one, we can go ahead with this.

i'll shoot charlie an email to see if she will do another group buy. will hopefully have an answer by later this week

alright. i have spoken to partsco and they will honor us with the same deal as before.

i have started a new group buy thread. please refer to the link: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=151087

I'm interested as well eug =)

how can I get hpc? do I manually get it done after I receive the extractors or does partsco have extractors that have hpc?

cheers mate

pipes are on, high flow cat on, feelin' fine

just have a hissing noise, not sure what it is.

Kind of get that noise too.. Only when I push it a bit though.. Sounds nice lol Doesn't sound like a leak or anything, maybe just the sound of the exhaust gas passing through the extractors..

partsco send the headers to someplace to get hp coated.

please post in the group buy thread with what you require.

HolyEvil has had an unfortunate accident and will not be able to participate in the group buy.

We are back down to 3 orders.

Please see here for details: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=2838293

sorry to hear buddy - hope you get your car fixed. it is totally understandable that you have other priorities.

that brings the group buy back down to 3 people.

i'm sorry guys, but i never intended to run a 2nd buy. however about 10 people have requested that i run another one.

bottom line is, they wont work without your support. alot of talk and no action.

i am happy to help other members out, but don't waste my time - i do not make money out of these, infact i lose money due to transfer fees and international phone calls.

those on the list - i appreciate your support. it is the others that have let you down. i will let this play out till feb 2nd, and i will see if they will allow you guys as an "extended" buy off the first one or something.

regards

alright, i've got my gear on.

for the record:

- 2.5" outlet coby extractors

- 2.5" cat converter

- standard r33 gtr catback exhaust (2.5")

first impressions, much fatter mid range, no change in overall power, driveability is much better, each gear revs right out much more.

the overall power thing intrigued me a fair bit. i requested to keep my old system. came home and measured it all up.. what do you know. the cat converter was a 2.5" item (from compliance). the strange thing was that the standard cat-back system measured 2.25" right after the cat and becomes a 2.5" right before the muffler

this is the stock r33 gts25 system. i think i could get away with just replacing the extractors and the cat on its own.

however i am yet to give it a full bootfull just yet. with a largish system, the power will be made mainly in the high rpm range.

idle sound is a very very quiet hum, and makes noise up to 4k rpm, after that it just screams like an na motor.

but, you do need to drive it a bit for the carbon deposits to settle and fill in any gaps - only time will tell.

i am booked in for a dyno day in 2-3 weeks, i will post up the results after.

cheers

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
