Hello, Im just wondering if anyone is going to be visiting the Nismo factory in the near future. If anyone is going, I'm hoping you could you could take some high resolution shots of a car that I've been a bit obsessed with recently. The Nismo R33 with the R1 engine in it. I don't know if there's an official name for it or not, but photos of that car has been very very difficult to come by on the internet. The pics I have are only small ones and would like to have one that I can have it printed out in photo quality.

It's this car.

i know, it's so rare, i've been searching for photos for the longest time and 6 photos on the internet just isn't doing it for me anymore. I have got to get more. If I can get some good high resolution photos, I'm really planning on getting it done in poster format.

pretty sure I have a fair few of it from 2006 I think it was (maybe 05). either way I probably didn't take enough as I was more interested in the Z-tune R34 which had just been released at the time.

have a quick check in my photo diary thread. if not in there, I will try and find them over the weekend.

Omori Factory has changed a lot lately. Unless you have an appointment with someone there is very little to do there.

That being said last time I was there in January I did spot an R34 Z-Tune which seemed to be having rear suspension problems so the poor mechanic had to drive it around a lot :cool: , also the new Nismo 380RS 3.8 litre stroked 350Z was there being prepared for TAS. Then they rolled out the SuperGT 500 350Z from 2007 season to put it in a truck for transportation. That was fun to see three dudes just pushing a GT500 car around trying not to scrape it on the driveway.

We just got lucky. Usually though you'd be lucky to see whatever car they have in the showroom.

Aaanyways, when I went there in July 05 I was invited to look around in their garage where I snapped a few photos of the R1 R33 but unfortunately it was packed into a tight garage so not great photos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
