Ok, so I was on the South East Freeway last night on the way back from the coast with a big group of cars and this 33 GTR comes slowly cruising past. It looked the goods and sounded sweet but didn't really give it much. Then.....BANG! I could hear the turbos spool up from like 4 cars back and christ could it move.

Anyone seen it around or know who the owner is????

Plates are WW 98 and its pretty hard to miss.

I've seen WWW98 around, that's William's r33 gtr. Rumoured to have 2 x y2k turbos and stroked capacity. Lots of $$$ spent so no wonder he takes it easy most of the time. :)

Even though I'm not big on the paint and stupid high rear wing/body kits, gotta give credit to its speed. :P

Yeah one more to find out whos the winner..

I think at the moment it's one all isn't it 57OCK?

I actually like the paint job. We saw a R33 in roma street parklands on Thursday night and it had the chamelion paint job. Not sure if it was the same car (didn't take notice of the number plate) but it didn't look like all the other chamelion paint jobs. Kinda different in a way..

William was only running 1.2bar. He needs to run 1.7bar or more to get the turbos working.

Soon as he ups the boost, thats it. I'll get whooped.

Its so hard to keep up with people like that. They have so much money behind them. Its going to take me some time to finish my car... I Wish I was rich

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
