Hi guys, Sam here, living in Coolum Beach but spend most of my time in maroochy just bought myself a silver 95' R33 GTST. I have been using this forum to get her running sweet as a nut on 10PSI without any of the high end hesitation she used to have, so i just wanted to say thanks! laugh.gif

You should totally share your knowledge so I can figure out how to stop mine from doing that lol, I'm in the area as well!

Hi hi. Larissa here :action-smiley-069: .

Just bought a black R34 GTT 4 door...my partner has had his 33 for about 4 years now, so I've finally given in to the temptation of a turbo after driving my little civic for the last 6 years! My girl has about 200 kws at the wheels, and thanks to Chris Rogers, now has a new alarm so hopefully no one decides to take her for a ride!

Either way Hello and I understand your pain of having a mismatched front bar on your car as I was running one for about a year before I got the do luck kit put on.

Don't know if I have posted in here or not but anyways I am located in Mount Warren Park so South East and I have my R32 for about 5 years now and am now a member SAU QLD so I look forward to meeting everybody. Oh yeah my name is Adam

Car: 96 Silver R33 GTST

Area: Brisbane

Hi everyone, just moved up from Sydney to Brisbane & after a painful process of getting rego on my car. I was finally able to take her out for my first cruise since coming up & I found a place I think its called Mt Nebo? Anyway what an awesome piece of road I must say apart from a bit of road works & few doggy motorbike/pushy riders. If anyone know of any other nice drives for a noob let me know or if you want to meet up it would be good to go on a cruise with others.

Scott here,

Been trawling and posting on SAU for some time. Just thought i would post up a picture of my new exhuast i got finished the other day.

I moved away from the large cannon and went with the smaller twins trying to get that "drift pipes" look

Hi I am Chris, I have been a member on the Forums for about 7 years now. I previously owned an R33 gtst sedan, but now I am driving a RB20det powered S13. Handles alot better then the old boat and with a few mods also goes quicker too. I know its not a skyline, but it has R32 engine and gearbox, R33 diff and Brakes.

See you on the road, or happy laps.

Hey Guys,

Jeff here.... + g/f Sam

We've just organised to pickup an R33 next month. It's been sitting for a few years, with it's head off after an engine failure.

We're in spring hill, and will start posting a bit once the rebuild starts.

I used to be a member here many years ago when i had my R32GTsT - with the plate GRY32, so it will be nice to catch up with those of you who i remember,

Hope to see you all around the place.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
