Hi id just like to introduce myself to everyone, my name is Big Mike and i recently bought an R33 GTR Vspec! The car i have been waiting patiently to own ever since i discovered they existed!

Few questions, im planning do to minor servicing myself with my cousin (im an engineer and cousin is a mechanic of 8 yrs), this weekend hopeful to do standard fluid changes (ie. engine oil, coolant and replace oil, fuel, air filters) but what about diff and gearbox oil? Easy to change? What do i need?

Also, what is a good workshop in Adelaide to take my 33 for other work (thinking about getting timing belt changed also while i can set of adjustable cam gears)...???

Any advice, tips etc would be greatly appreciated! Maybe thats too many questions at once, haha

Thanks all!

Big Mike (proud owner)

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
    • Brakes definitely won't make him faster. They only slow you down. 😛
