Just throwing up an idea.

What if we had a stereo install day maybe in a Strathfield car park where you bring, or buy on the day, your uninstalled stereo gear and the people in the club with experience can help you install it?

We wouldn't be making any sub boxes for you but I think it would be fair to say that the main purpose of this is for the experienced people to help with wiring for those who know nothing or very little about car electrics and to show how things like the dash come apart and go back together for those who haven't delved that deep into their cars as yet.

We can also tune the system once it's up and running as well as explain along the way what things are and how they work.

You're planning on doing this at a Strathfield car park? Don't think it'll go down too well.... it is part of their business you know.

Also; the soldering irons which plug in will be useless, you won't have readily accessible power. So you'll need a gas powered one.

Its a good idea in theory, but i dont know how well it would work, stezza installs do need a bit of concentration and explaining it to the unknowing user would take alot of time, so 3 people in the know how with stezzas, and 8 uninstalled systems would be a bit whack.........

Umm who said anything about Strathfield Car Radios.? :)

i'm pretty sure thats what adams saying

i thought the same thing before i re read it and it says "A strathfield carpark" rather than "THE strathfield car park" as if there were some car park where you usually do these things

could be wrong though

i've got 1 or 2 power converters. just plug into cigarette lighter and converts into 240v AC that i was using for the ps2 in my m3. but now ive got one laying around since its out now.

im not sure if we can hook up a few with extensions and a power board (with the car running ofcorse). its just an idea though.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
