welcome aaron,

looks like the NA section is starting to pick up. congratulations on the buy, looks like a very very nice example of how a series 2 r33 should be.

you have the cool light up skyline garnish at the rear too - that's quite rare!!!

as to the front bar i havent seen one like that either (looks similar to a doluck, but its not).

either way the car looks good - use the search function on the forums to find any answers you may have.

:(

Gday mate,

Yeah I’m new to the forums too, its all good fun on here.

I'm probably in the same boat as you knowledge wise but i think if you asked the majority of people on here, they wouldn't touch e-bay "performance" enhancers with a 10 foot pole, I remember something a while ago on the forums that acted like a 'electronic supercharging' thing with a fan that looked like a pod filter, absolute bull dust.

Don't know what the laws 4 you guys are over in SA but in Vic I’m pretty sure "piggy back" computers like the APEXi SAFC and this product aren’t allowed.

Personally I think your better off giving this a miss and investing in quality brands, you have a good lookin car, it would be a shame if this bugger did some damage too it, just my 2c :sorcerer:,

Have a good one,

Regards,

Sean'O

i dont know much about performance chips and that but does this actually work or is it all bull sh!t?

Most certainly stay away from these. It's pretty much a $0.60c resistor in a box that makes the ECU think the air is cooler than it really is. It will therefore run slightly richer and cause problems down the track. Seriously... at $1/hp increase, if they really worked i'm sure everyone on these forums would have them!

Stick with quality products for your skyline... and remember... if it seems too good to be true, it probably is :woot:

hey buddy,

got a coupla answers for you.

- the front bar your talking about is actually a bottom lip which goes on to the standard series 2 bar.

- if you keep an eye out you might be able to pick one up on the forums.

- advantages of awd are; better launches, better grip in the turns, attessa.

- disadvantages; some people find rwd more predictive, less overall power since power is transferred to front wheels, not ideal if you like to hang the arse out a bit (not to say its not do-able :P)

- the only way to run RWD in an R33 is by dropping the front shafts or with a torque split convertor.

- R32 just pull the fuse.

Welcome to the end of your sanity and savings Aaron :wave:

Firstly, NICE CAR !! I didn't even bother "dreaming" about owning something that nice when I was 16 :glare: That's a really good choice of car to help you learn car control and still have a world of fun.

Enjoy and for fwck's sake, DON'T become another P plater statistic on the 6 O'Clock new ! :wub:

Unless you want to be racing it, stick to the AWD.

Main advantage is increased traction, it'll "hug" the road better than a RWD.

Also, RWD cars (namely sports cars such as the Skyline) are known for being prone to spin out in wet weather.

The AWD has a much less chance of doing so.

AWD is much safer in that regard.

Your car is exactly what I'm looking to buy.

How much did you get it for?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
