Chris, PM replied.

And cheers Taffrey.

Matt I like the Maximas, especially the Ti, but the boss has her heart set on a Subie. Cheers though! :) Happy to sell to you for cash! :thumbsup:

might be able to take it off your hands once i get my finances sorted (again...)

Cheers lads, all PMs replied.

Hopefully I'm home from work early enough tomorrow, so I can take (and post) a few underbody, interior, and engine bay pictures for those that asked to see them.

As a few blokes have been asking why did I respray the car:

When in Japan, some the sphincter of the universe at the caryard decided to forklift it around rather than drive it. Using the forklift crushed the outer sill panels and by the time the car arrived in Aus the panels were starting to corrode and were heavily damaged.

I bought new outer sill panels from Mr Nissan Japan and had a bodyshop fit them. As I was paying for the entire interior to come out for the sill panel replacement, I decided to go ahead and respray the car, replace the right rear quarter and rear quarter glass on both sides.

Hope that helps!

Yes I did thanks, but I ended up buying Raw111's R33 GTR Vspec last weekend instead.

Good luck with the sale of your car though, its definatly a good buy.

Cheers,

Ian

I was really looking for a freshly rebuilt car, but this is a good price and the paint is great, so can you just tell me if the fluctuations of up to 10 psi (assuming psi is what was used to gauge) are big fluctuations or whether we're talking minor damage or we're factory condition (145 140 150 145 150 150)

It depends entirely on how the test was done. If it was done cold and dry as most people do them so they don't burn themselves, well the results are fine.

Keep in mind that an alloy piston grows in size when it heats up more than the engine block does, so ring seal and piston/bore seal improves with engine temp.

If these are the results of a wet test (tablespoon of oil in the cylinder to aid ring seal), then this might indicate an issue. In the scheme of things 10psi is nothing.

    • 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?
    • 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).
    • 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).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
