actually it (aerial) had a power led lead on the stereo, which is what "I" hooked up, it was my nooby to jap wiring stereo install. I cant remember exactly it was aggges ago but in the manual it said for elec aerials use this wire, which is what I did. When my switch is selected as down the aerial comes up half way when stereo is on and if i switch it up it goes up to full height. No matter what it always goes up half way if the stereo is on. Im going to install the leds into my dash and a few other bits an pieces i,e, custom mock up panel for my temp guages in the din area so ill have a look and disconnect the wire and see if the aerial only works on the swtch. Pretty sure I tested this wayback when but it didnt move.. memory doesnt completely recall. Guess il find out again anyways.

I've always thought boot space in R33s is pretty shocking for a car that size

i thought the boot space was decent considering there's plenty of leg room for the rear passengers, compared to 180's and supra which have shit all passenger leg room

the cup holder in the VP commodore that is there but NOT useable.

its in the front centre arm rest box to put stuff in thingy and you have to cut out a hole and re position the leather to get to it... i think they used the same arm rests for the luxury models.

it was not even an option

how about d/s window controls in the 32gtr, when the window's down any water on the roof pours into the switches? yeah!

hey nissanskyrice, go see supercheap. they have a headlight controller that turns your lights off with ignition,

plus has light sensor that works really well. should be standard in all cars tho...

Awesome. Going to stupid cheap thisarvo then. where does it hook up? under the dash or in the engine bay? i have to pull my dash apart again after installing my stereo on the weekend because i apparently unhooked the power to my turbo timer while i was at it :)

lots and lotsa stuff

but, on Nissans, apart from the cursed filter location on GT-R's, the key release button. but you do get used to it after a while i guess

LOL I'm sure you can fix that some how? My ariel only goes up when I have the radio on, not the mp3 player :worship:

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
