sorry for the bad luck, at least you are positve ie.. here comes a gtr.

my first crash and car was the same, i had an original s2 RX2 capella. some fat bird in a corolla locked it up while i was stationary at the lights, " she must have been looking in the bottom of a KFC bucket and didnt notice the lights" and smashed into my mazda. it still breaks my heart to think about it.

no offence to KFC lovers

haha, cheers for the humour guys!

I'm just hoping that her insurance will cover the agreed value with my insurer and not the market value.

Cause we all know market value on an R33 will struggle to reach 13,000.

And my loan is still at 17,000. So being 16, I don't wanna be paying off something I don't have!!

Time will tell... not lovin this stage.

i was give the rx2 at 16. took two years to get all the missing parts and do a full respray. she hit me at about 60 and i got smashe dinto a commo in front of me. how ugly a corolla and a commo attached to my mazda.. insurance can be a shit. i got market value.. this is the part that makes me cry,, i got 2000 for the accident.. tell me where i can buy an original rx2 for 2G.

i hope insurance dosnt screw you over buddy. 16 and having a R33 you pimp!

My skyline got written off too by a stupid bitch so i feel your pain buddy! She had no insurance, took just cars 4 weeks to send out the check. Was a really pleasant experience dealing with them so hopefully you'll be right.

Don't agree to the first price they give you.

You have to argue your point and don't let them get there way as it is your pride and joy.

They will give you a decent price you just have to be patient.

yep make sure you hammer them up on price, then agree what is included with the car, then strip every aftermarket thing they are not going to pay you for off it and sell it.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
