Hey Guys,

First time poster here, just recently bought a R33 GTS Series 2 import and have done a service on it the first time myself usual, changed oil, filter, spark plugs etc.. and only use 98 octane fuel. But still seem to be having hiccups when its trying to start as it feels its about to die then will pick up revs a few seconds later.. I even put in some injector cleaner in the tank to see if that would help but hasnt changed much in it.. Is this normal or what you guys rekon that will fix it up?

Its due to have a service soon so just wondering whos a good skyline mechanic around the western sydney area to take it to who knows what theyre doing?

Cheers,

Steve

If you want specialists try Advan or Croydon racing developments, expect to pay though.

Definitely Advan, but you pay for what you get. 100k service plus replacing a castor rosd bush and vacuum hose on my S1 r33 GTST was $2k. I had teh same idle issue, turned out it was a split vacuum hose.

They also looked over the car to make sure it wasn't a lemon, and that there were no other issues. They definitely know Skylines - do a search on Ebay for their car GRACER.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
